We know how difficult/daunting it can be when you are first starting out and we wanted to create an accessible option for start-ups and freelancers that don’t currently have the budget for a website or are starting out from scratch.

Our free template is a simple website, with all the important core pages included for a professional website - perfect to launch your first site with. As a Squarespace Circle platinum member, we may earn a referral fee from Squarespace if you decide to purchase an annual subscription.

Simply fill in the installation form to provide us with your email address.

Within 48 business hours, you’ll get an invite to your free template site. From there, it’s all yours to tweak, tailor, and take live.

Yes, you will need to purchase a Squarespace subscription once you are ready to launch your site.

You can find out Squarespace subscription pricing here.

As a Candor Templates client you will automatically receive 25% off of your Squarespace Subscription (plus a free domain and professional email) if you choose to upgrade your website subscription to any annual plan. This is automatically applied when you upgrade.

Absolutely, you can add as many pages as you need.

As we are a Squarespace Circle platinum member you will have an extended trial period of 12 months.

That gives you a whole year to work on your site!

Yes, you can add a shop/blog to your template - anything you can do on a normal Squarespace site you can also do with our free template.

No, as this is a free template we do not offer existing site installation due to the time it would take to manually install onto an existing Squarespace site.

However, if you are looking to update your current website you can browse and purchase one of our premium Squarespace templates which can be installed on your existing site for an additional fee. Simply check the ‘Install on my existing site’ option in the checkout cart.

Understanding code is not required to use our template. Our free template comes with done-for-you code, so you don't need to have any coding knowledge.

We love working with designers, and that’s why our Standard Licence includes use for client projects. It’s our way of making things easy and seamless for you.

However, there are a couple of things to keep in mind:

1. The Candor Templates footer credit must stay live and visible unless you purchase a Credit Removal Licence.

2. Each client project requires its own licence. If you’re working on multiple client sites, you’ll need to purchase the template separately for each one. You may not duplicate the site for use on multiple projects.
