Top Step Vents: Redesigning a Live Squarespace Site One Page at a Time

A progressive Squarespace redesign that translated a supplied Figma direction into practical responsive production pages while the existing Top Step Vents website remained live.

Top Step Vents needed a product-focused website experience that could present metal floor vents clearly, support product discovery, explain installation and sizing, and keep quote, dealer, and shopping paths visible.

The redesign began with a supplied Figma direction. Michael Munoz did not create the original Figma concept. His role was to translate that direction into practical Squarespace pages, adapting the layouts where the platform could not reproduce the static design literally.

The site stayed live while the work moved forward, so the redesign happened progressively, page by page, instead of through a single full-site cutover.

Design Credit

Design direction / Figma: Sher Agency supplied the Figma direction and initial layout ideas.

Squarespace adaptation, page design, responsive implementation, and site build: Michael Munoz / End Everything Studios adapted and refined that direction for Top Step Vents, making the layout, responsive, and implementation decisions required to build it in Squarespace.

The Design Problem

A static Figma concept and a live Squarespace site operate under different rules. Squarespace’s responsive grid, shared style controls, ecommerce structure, reusable blocks, and platform-defined behavior meant the design could not simply be traced into the browser.

The production challenge was to preserve the intent of the supplied design while building layouts that could function naturally inside Squarespace and coexist with the rest of the live site during the transition.

Production Adaptation

Michael used the supplied Figma as creative direction, then made page-level design and implementation decisions directly inside Squarespace. That included establishing content hierarchy, placing product imagery, adapting sections for mobile, supporting ecommerce-oriented pages, and maintaining customer paths for shopping, installation, sizing, dealers, quotes, and contact.

A supplied Figma design established the intended creative direction, but the existing Squarespace site had to remain live while the redesign moved forward. Squarespace could not reproduce every Figma composition literally because of its responsive grid, shared style system, commerce structure, reusable blocks, and platform-defined behavior.

The challenge was to preserve the visual intent while building stable page layouts that worked inside the real platform, supported existing customer paths, and could be published progressively without a full-site cutover.

End Everything Studios treated the Figma as direction rather than a rigid coordinate map. Michael translated the design into practical Squarespace layouts, making page-level production design decisions around hierarchy, imagery, responsive behavior, product discovery, educational content, and conversion paths.

The work moved forward page by page so the business could continue using the live website while more of the old experience was replaced.

  • Worked from a supplied Figma design direction
  • Evaluated which design elements could be reproduced realistically in Squarespace
  • Designed practical production layouts where exact translation was impractical
  • Redesigned pages progressively while the site remained live
  • Built and revised pages directly in Squarespace
  • Implemented homepage and product discovery layouts
  • Structured educational, sizing, installation, dealer, quote, and contact content
  • Adapted desktop layouts for tablet and mobile
  • Preserved existing customer paths and ecommerce-oriented functionality
Progressive live-site redesign | The website was redesigned page by page without requiring the entire existing site to disappear during development.
Figma to Squarespace adaptation | The supplied design direction was interpreted and translated into layouts Squarespace could support reliably.
Production page design | Where exact Figma reproduction was impractical, Michael designed final layouts within the actual platform constraints.
Complete customer-facing page implementation | The work extended across homepage, product discovery, instructional content, conversion paths, and supporting pages.
Responsive implementation | Desktop compositions were reorganized for tablets and phones instead of simply compressed.
Product-focused visual presentation | Photography and content hierarchy give the physical products room to carry the visual story.
Multiple customer paths | Product browsing, ecommerce, dealers, quotes, and informational content coexist within the redesigned experience.
Progressively replaced the previous page experience while the production website remained available.

Have a Design That Needs to Work Inside the Platform You Actually Have?

End Everything Studios works with supplied designs and existing websites to preserve the creative direction while making the practical layout, responsive, and implementation decisions required by WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, and other real-world systems.
