Project context
Designed for customers to adapt.
Capri was designed for FloAgency Inc. as a commercial Squarespace template for its Squaremuse marketplace, intended for customers to purchase and adapt for their own websites.
The design needed to accommodate different identities and content while giving customers control over sections, page composition, imagery, colour and typography.
The template was structured from reusable sections and page components. Customers could add, remove and reorder content, create additional pages and enable only the functionality they needed — while the underlying visual system kept the experience coherent.
01 — System approach
Reusable blocks.
A coherent whole.

01 Introduction and profile sections assembled within one template.
02 A reusable contact section combining details and an enquiry form.
02 — Content architecture
One system.
Different content structures.
Capri was designed to support different types of content within one modular template. Customers could combine, add or remove pages and sections for services, portfolio content and commerce while retaining the same underlying design language.

03 — Designing within Squarespace
Flexibility within constraints.
Customer flexibility, supported by a defined structure.
The template had to fit Squarespace’s editing and responsive constraints. Section structure and layout rules were defined at component level, giving customers a framework for changing content, composition and presentation.

From a wide layout
to a vertical sequence.
01 Desktop: supporting entries frame the featured post.
02 Mobile: the featured content follows a single reading order.

Individual participant parameters
The blog block uses surrounding entries to frame a featured post on desktop. On mobile, it becomes a focused vertical sequence: section heading, featured image, article details and action.
01 Type hierarchy and button treatments as reusable style foundations.
05 — Component & style system
Make customisation
part of the system.
Typography, colour styles, buttons and interface treatments were defined as a coordinated set. Customers could customise the template’s appearance from these starting points, using shared hierarchy and component rules to guide their choices.

02 Colour-style options for different visual identities.
03 Text colour, style name and background colour specified together.

Distinct resource types are separated into clear destinations while remaining part of the same navigation and visual system.
06 — Design outcome
Many expressions.
One publishing system.
