Bonus: Squarespace Cover Pages
A Squarespace Cover Page presents information in a simple but striking webpage and are perfect for personal websites.
Cover Pages behave a little differently than the rest of Squarespace templates. Each Cover Page includes a pre-styled layout and a panel of editing tools for adding imagery, text, buttons, forms, audio, maps, video and more.
There are 30 Cover Page layouts to choose from where each, with a bit of imagination, can be used for absolutely any personal website.
