10 stunning Squarespace blog examples to inspire you

These Squarespace blogs are stunning examples of creative design.

Squarespace isn’t usually pointed to as an excellent platform for blogging. Common wisdom says the open source WordPress is the best option for blogging, but I disagree.

Squarespace makes publishing content easy, and at the end of the day, that’s the most important part of blogging — consistently publishing high grade written and visual content.

These Squarespace blog examples all show what’s possible on the platform. Enjoy.


1. Sustainable Baddie

Sustainable lifestyle blog on Squarespace

Sustainable Baddie is a project by Jazmine Rogers; it’s a blog, guide, and community hub, with content across both web and social media.

I love the playful, fun energy of this blog, which really shows what you can do with a Squarespace site.


2. Petrina Darrah

Travel blog on Squarespace

Hi, yes it’s me.

I’m including my travel blog on this list as a stellar example of a travel blog built on Squarespace.

My Squarespace site is all about travel in New Zealand. Squarespace has been a great platform for me to build up a lot of content — and traffic.

The intention of my Squarespace blog was to craft a design that looks and feels like a premium magazine, rather than a hobby blog.


3. The Sorry Girls

The Sorry Girls is a digital media brand focusing on DIY and interior design, with a focus on sustainability.

They have 2+ million subscribers on YouTube, more than 10 million monthly views across multiple platforms, and 13 years of content creation experience.

The blog has plenty of personality, which I love.


4. Along Dusty Roads

Not long ago, I went on a hike with a new friend I met in a coliving space in Tenerife.

On the drive to the trailhead, we discovered we both run our own travel sites. Getting deep into industry chat, we started discussing our favourite travel blogs — and almost immediately we both brought up Along Dusty Roads.

These guys set the bar in terms of photography, site design, and the depth of their content.

Such a great example of a travel blog doing what a travel blog should do; providing genuine travel advice and inspiration.

The Mallorcan is a gorgeous niche destination travel blog, with an accompanying newsletter.

The original photography and genuine travel tips make Where Tara Went a great travel blog.

I really enjoy her simple but effective blog layouts, with galleries showing off her stunning images and background colours making table of contents and affiliate disclaimer boxes stand out.


Jonny and Hannah and Cornwall based travel bloggers. I love their style of adventure and outdoor travel, which often features a great campervan.

The photos across their blog are stunning. Couple with the sleek design, it really makes this travel site stand out.
