15+ Best Squarespace Plugins [2024]
Ever wish your Squarespace website was able to easily display a blog sidebar, show information in an organized table, have a live chat, or even show a countdown timer to a special event? Well it actually can! And it can likely do even more than that with the help of 3rd party plugins created by some awesome Squarespace developers.
Squarespace plugins are great for taking any Squarespace website to the next level. With plugins, you’re able to add additional features and functionality to your website that’s outside of the default Squarespace behavior. Let’s face it… Squarespace* can only do so much on it’s own. So it’s been extremely helpful for Squarespace designers (such as myself 👩💻) to be able to integrate so many amazing plugins into our websites to help our clients achieve their goals. These additional features can really help your website stand out from the crowd and provide your audience with a great user experience.
Below, I’m outlining some of the very best Squarespace plugins that will help your website stand out among the endless sea of websites. Note: this list is constantly being updated as new features are being added to Squarespace and as developers are creating wonderful new plugins. Enjoy!
