Introducing Square Forge Retrofit: Transform Your Squarespace Website with Ease

Earlier this year, we launched our first major product, Square Forge.

It’s a tool integrated directly into Squarespace, designed to help us (and you!) build beautiful websites quickly and without the frustration that sometimes comes with staring at the same templates over and over again. Even experienced designers like me face creative blocks, which is why I built Square Forge.

What is Square Forge?

Square Forge offers over 300 section layouts that you can mix, match, and customize however you like. Whether you’re rearranging them to fit your vision or completely overhauling a design, Square Forge is a lifesaver when it comes to speeding up the creative process. It's more than just a design tool—it also doubles as a wireframing solution during client projects.

Here’s how we do it at Pixelhaze: We start with a quick wireframe on a chalkboard (yes, we're old-school like that), then move over to Square Forge, where we flesh out the design using the client’s brand toolkit. This process has cut our build time by up to 40%, which means more time to develop fresh templates and improve Square Forge even further.

The Happy Accident: Collaborating with Squarewebsites

Sometimes the best plans come together when you least expect them. One such happy accident was our collaboration with Squarewebsites, a third-party developer for Squarespace. While our plugins at Pixelhaze Academy are great, the team at Squarewebsites takes things even further with full systems that streamline the entire Squarespace experience.

I’ve long been a fan of the Squarewebsites Chrome Extension, which adds features like organizing the admin menu and even replicating full blog pages or sections across multiple sites. And that’s where the lightbulb moment happened—what if we combined this amazing tool with Square Forge to make an even more powerful process?

Introducing Square Forge Retrofit

Today, we’re excited to announce Square Forge Retrofit, a new service that allows us to integrate Square Forge layouts into any existing Squarespace 7.1 website. Until now, we used Square Forge primarily to create brand-new Squarespace sites. But with this new service, we can retrofit up to 10 custom layouts into your existing site—saving you the hassle of starting from scratch.

Here’s how it works: As long as your website is built on or upgraded to Squarespace 7.1, we can add these layouts, which you can then reuse, adapt, and duplicate as much as you like. And if you’re really hands-on, you can purchase the Chrome extension yourself, giving you even more control to move layouts between sites.

What’s Included in the Retrofit Service?

For a one-time fee of $150, you’ll receive:

• Up to 10 unique Square Forge layouts will be added to your Squarespace 7.1 website.

• A one-hour consultation with one of our team members will guide you through making the most of these layouts.

This makes Square Forge Retrofit the ideal, budget-friendly solution for anyone looking to refresh their Squarespace site without the headache of rebuilding from scratch.
