As a Squarespace designer I am SO excited for the Finish Layer tools they just dropped. I already loved Squarespace for the easy drag and drop interface, but this adds a whole new level to my work.
Which of the tools are you the most excited to try?
Those tools makes the work more fun and clean
That's what I'm thinking too!
This is seriously impressive. It feels as fast as AI, but somehow gives you even more control without getting in your way.
Exactly! It's super easy to use and gives you tons of control
Yes, you're right that Squarespace is quite easy but there are some restriction on the Squarespace that's quite tricky to solve @Kristina Balciunaite by the way you did an excellent job
Thank you, Ethasham! And yes, it's true there are still some limitations! However, in my experience most clients want simple and functional websites they can edit themselves, which Squarespace solves really well.
Haven't tried it
Will check it out
Highly recommend! My clients love the ease of editing it after we launch
The mood board comparison sold me, that's exactly the kind of friction Squarespace usually removes well. Have you tried Finish Layer on a client site yet, or still testing it on personal projects first?
Glad to hear that resonated! I do have a project lined up to use the new tools on a client project. However, so far I've used the tools to create and sell templates
Great update
Thank you, Samuel!
Thanks for the update
My pleasure!
Using the tools on templates first is a smart way to learn their edges before a client project. Has selling those templates changed which finish-layer feature you expect to lean on most for the upcoming work?
I mean they all just make the process of what I would usually do quicker. Like hiding elements or adding certain animations would require custom code before, and now they're done in a few clicks. It speeds everything up!
Lovely

A few things we’ve been working on this month.
Different industries, different problems, but the same goal: making complex products feel simple, clear, and trustworthy.
Fintech → Investment Banking → Geospatial AI
More projects are still in progress.
Full case studies coming soon.
This is the kind of work I enjoy seeing — simple, focused, and actually thought through.
Same prompt. Two builders.
One site made with Lovable, one with Google AI Studio. A Flemish still-life snack brand, gilt frames, GSAP scroll, the works.
Which one is better?

Hi Contra 👋 I'm Victoria, a website designer and architecture student in Buenos Aires.
Architecture taught me to think about light, material and how people move through a space. I bring the same thinking to websites.
To practise, I designed four concept sites for brands that don't exist (yet):
✦ Maison Ardent, a Parisian perfume house
✦ Oxblood Records, an indie record label
✦ Fuego Lento, a parrilla in Palermo
✦ Kōra Atelier, a ceramics studio in Kyoto
Each one started from a full brief, as if the client were real.
Now I'm taking my first commissions: custom landing pages in Figma, desktop and mobile, from $30.

Which of the four would you want to see in detail next?
