2026 Built-in squarespace features for small businesses and nonprofit organizers
From changes to our everyday platforms to changes in our industry practices, we're no strangers to exploring something new. Whether you're adjusting to that new computer or software you purchased during BFCM (Black Friday/Cyber Monday), or even getting into a new fitness plan, there's definitely some hefty personal work getting done to acclimate yourself in adapting your usual routine. But just because you're trying something new, doesn't mean everything you used to do has to get thrown out the window.
If you've been using Squarespace for a couple of years like me, you've noticed there's been a lot of buzz around increased design freedom and SEO/AEO. Regardless of how you’re utilizing Squarespace to promote your portfolio, services, products, or limited-edition experiences, here’s some of the latest built-in features you may have missed from December 2025 to early February 2026.
Disclaimer: Some up-and-coming features are limited access to Gold or Platinum Circle members. If you’ve heard of a new tool (or seen an email notification) and its not listed below, its not fully available to the public. Additionally, I’m currently only up-to-date on US-based Squarespace updates, I’ll do my best to note if something’s available globally.

If you’ve yet to implement some of these new features available in Squarespace 7.1, take some time to research up to 3 of the features above. Reduce the decision-making fatigue by asking yourself the following:
“will this learning curve cost me more time and resources?”
(if you don’t know, you can try the ROTI method, which stands for ‘Return on Time Invested’)
“will I be saving more time or money if I update this portion of my website workflow?”
(keyword “workflow”. Sometimes full redesigns aren’t realistic task capacities right now)
