Welcome to the comprehensive FAQ page for the Meridian Template by Marquet Creative, designed explicitly for Squarespace users. Here, you'll find in-depth information to guide you through purchasing, installing, and customizing the Meridian Template, ensuring an easy experience from start to finish.
Purchasing and Preparing for Installation
Q: What do I need to buy besides the Meridian Template?
A: After purchasing the Meridian Template, you need a Squarespace plan (Business Plan or higher) to use its features thoroughly. An annual subscription grants you a 20% discount for the first year.
Additionally, consider purchasing a domain through a third-party registrar like GoDaddy.com for long-term savings. A premium Zapier plan may be necessary for advanced email integration beyond Mailchimp for more than five newsletter signup forms. But we recommend checking out Mailerlite.com for an easy-to-use interface. You will get up to 500 email subscribers for free.
Q: How can I customize the template graphics?
A: We use Canva for all in-house design. We recommend signing up for a free trial of Canva Pro for easy graphic customization. This tool allows you to tailor graphics to your brand without professional design skills.
Installation and Customization
Q: Is coding knowledge required to customize the Meridian Template?
A: We designed this template to be intuitive, user-friendly, and not require coding knowledge for basic customization. It has detailed tutorials that guide you through editing CSS for a more tailored look, should you wish to dive deeper. For those less comfortable with technology, we suggest partnering with one of our trusted design partners for customization. Contact us for a referral.
Q: What is the expected timeline for launching my website with the Meridian Template?
A: Launch time varies depending on your preparedness with brand elements (colors, fonts, content, photos) and the extent of customization planned. Generally, if your assets are ready and you're utilizing the template as is, the setup could be fast. However, the process lengthens with the level of customization and the number of pages you wish to alter.
Q: Does the Meridian Template come as a Squarespace template kit?
A: Unlike some templates that require building it yourself, the Meridian Template is pre-installed, saving you significant setup time. We focus on ease and efficiency, ensuring you can begin customizing your site immediately after installation.
Q: What Squarespace version is the Meridian Template built on?
A: The Meridian Template is crafted using Squarespace's latest Fluid Engine, which offers unparalleled flexibility and control over your site's design and layout. As of March 2022, we have retired versions compatible with Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1 Classic Editor.
Policies and Support
Q: What is your return policy?
A: Due to the digital nature of our templates and immediate access to intellectual property, we cannot offer refunds. Before purchasing, Please review all available information and the live demo to ensure the Meridian Template meets your needs.
Q: Are payment plans available?
A: We currently do not offer payment plans. Full payment is required to access the template and accompanying resources.
Q: Can you provide more details on the installation process?
A: Upon purchase, you'll be added as an admin to a demo version of the template. Accepting this will transfer the template to your Squarespace account, appearing as a new site in your dashboard. Here's what to do next:
If You Already Have a Squarespace Account: Use the email address you used to sign up for your existing account. Follow the provided instructions to complete installation and begin customization.
New to Squarespace?: Start a free trial with Squarespace, but refrain from choosing a paid plan or transferring your domain initially. After purchasing the Meridian Template, follow the instructions for an easy installation.
Q: How do I transfer my existing website to Squarespace with the Meridian Template?
A: Transferring content from WordPress, GoDaddy, or Wix can be confusing. While we provide general guides tailored to each platform, we don't offer detailed support.
Q: Can this template be used for client projects?
A: Designers are welcome to use the Meridian Template for client projects, provided a new license is purchased for each website created. The site credit page linking back to our website must remain intact.
Q: What if I have other questions?
A: If you encounter any challenges or have specific questions during the customization process, we offer support through a ticket system for 30 days after purchase. Please review our support policy for comprehensive details. For more intricate customizations, such as code adjustments or plugin installations, and support extending beyond 30 days, we charge $125/hr.
Additionally, if you're looking for professional customization services from the outset, don't hesitate to contact us for referrals to our trusted design partners.
Q: How does Squarespace support fit into this?
A: For queries or issues directly related to Squarespace's platform features (outside the specific scope of the Meridian Template customization), Squarespace's customer support team is available to assist. It offers extensive help articles, live chat, and email support to address platform-related inquiries. While our team at Marquet Creative is here to support you with template-specific concerns, Squarespace's support team is best equipped to handle platform or subscription-related questions.
Further Clarifications
Q: Are there any other costs I should know after installing the Meridian Template?

We aim to ensure that the Meridian Template provides a robust foundation for your site, minimizing the need for additional expenses.
Q: Can I switch to the Meridian Template from another Squarespace template?
A: You can switch to the Meridian Template from another Squarespace template. The process involves setting up the Meridian Template as a new site in your Squarespace account and manually transferring or recreating your content.
