The best Squarespace templates for blogs
The first step in setting up a blog on Squarespace is to pick a template — here’s how to choose a good one.

All Squarespace templates have the same features, but what I often see is the blog page added on as an afterthought, rather than placed front and centre.
The most important things you need in a Squarespace blog template
Responsiveness: It’s important to choose a template that is optimised for mobile. They pretty much all will be responsive, but it’s also good to check that some of the cool features you see on desktop translate to a good mobile format. Why? Because you can expect the majority of your traffic to come from mobile devices, so you should always look for mobile-first templates, even if you’re shopping around on desktop.
