I can’t imagine where my websites would be today without it!

Rache’s Standout Squarespace program is a goldmine of information.

I can’t imagine where my websites would be today without it. I thought I knew how to code and build websites prior to her course but wow was I seriously mistaken on how much more I can do!!

TEMPLATE|

 Montage is the master template by designers for designers raising the standard for modern websites. It’s a beautiful base canvas for new site and an upgrade suite for existing ones.

 

Watch the video to see the magic of Montage

 
 

Crafted from years of first-hand experience and hundreds of student feedback, Montage assembles editorial coded-for-you sections so you can build expert-level designs in half the time. This artisanal tool is well worth the entire program—and it's all yours to use for new and existing Squarespace sites alike.

The Master Template is included in the Full Version. It can be used in unlimited client projects.

Available to Standout Squarespace (Full Version) members on April 2.

Montage or any of its components is not licensed to be resold as a Squarespace template.
  • Modular design

    Assemble pre-coded components like building blocks on a versatile canvas. Montage builds on the responsiveness, usability, and security of Squarespace without the cookie-cutter mediocrity. You'll make the most out of it once you're through with the core curriculum.

  • Curated sections

    This template comes with its own set of custom parts—some of which are well-loved within the student community, others newly inspired by mundane objects that delight each day. Either way, these handpicked sections are all incredibly made to be a couple of keywords or keystrokes away.

  • Extensive styling

    Customize this versatile canvas to your heart's content, whether it's switching out fonts, colors, or other elements. And if you'd ever like to make it a lot more personal, you can add your own lines of CSS with the help of specific selectors. This way, you can contribute to the final site design without slowing down its speed.

  • Dynamic Guide

    Make project handoff a whole lot easier on your end thanks to a style guide that updates itself. Each copy of Montage is furnished with a secret database of site colors, fonts, and layouts. Just like a set of Pantone swatches your clients can rely on to build out new pages without needing your help.

  • Unlimited license

    Montage can set the stage for your Squarespace project again, again, and again. No additional purchase required to adapt this template for any client work. As long as you're a member of the exclusive community, you can even ask for support for minor glitches or tweaks to your build.

  • High-touch support

    By enrolling in the Standout Squarespace program, you’ll have access to 12-months of high-touch support from Rache and program mentors. We guide you in achieving your dream layouts and troubleshoot any coding hiccups.

Learning vs
copy-pasting!

My biggest take-away from Standout Squarespace so far is learning the back-end of how things work versus just copy and pasting tweaks where needed.

Prior to the course, I would google how to bring certain ideas to life and because of the program and Rache's teachings, I feel like I am really understanding the "why" and "how" behind each lesson and how to actually expand on it on my own. It's a very rewarding feeling!

hi there, I’m Rache

I’m a self-educated web designer & developer who enables creative entrepreneurs to stand out with skills & craft with code.

You might know me by the way I unfold advanced coding concepts in simple & intuitive ways. It’s true that I value pushing the envelope with CSS & JavaScript. But first & foremost, I value grasping the essentials—in appreciating the corners of business & design.

When I quit my job as a chemical engineer, I had no coding knowledge in my hands. I only had two things: the belief in business & the desire to design. The former made me determined to find freedom in my life; the latter made me committed to continue my craft.

These were the codes I lived by, even before the actual code.

By passing on these lessons, I hope to instill not only the pursuit of knowledge but also the promise of a fulfilling life. You can weave your dream from the desires & delights of your own hands, the way I did. No more untangling knots of know-hows. No more tracing forum threads that lead to dead-ends. No more knitting your brows trying to figure out where to start.

If you’re too terrified to take the leap, just take the first step here in Standout Squarespace.
