Why Creatives on Squarespace Need Telegram

Squarespace users are different from typical website builders. They are photographers, graphic designers, architects, filmmakers, and boutique shop owners. Their websites are portfolios first, lead generators second. And their clients are often international.

A photographer in Berlin gets inquiries from clients in Moscow. An architect in London works with developers in Dubai. A fashion designer in Paris sells to buyers in Sao Paulo. All of these clients prefer Telegram.

Squarespace's contact form collects a name and email. Then you wait for the client to check their inbox. On Telegram, the conversation starts instantly and continues across devices. Clients can send reference images, mood boards, floor plans, and project briefs up to 2GB without the file size limits of email.

The other big advantage: Telegram uses usernames instead of phone numbers. International clients who would hesitate to share their phone number on a contact form will happily message @yourstudio on Telegram. The barrier is lower. You get more inquiries.

Share 2GB Files Through Your Squarespace Site

Creative work involves large files. Reference images, brand guidelines, mockups, contracts, video clips. Email caps out at 25MB. Telegram handles 2GB. When a client contacts you through the Telegram widget on your Squarespace portfolio, they can send everything you need in one conversation. No Dropbox links, no WeTransfer, no "my email bounced because the file was too big."

  • Clients send project briefs, images, and documents up to 2GB via Telegram
  • You send proofs, mockups, and drafts back through the same conversation
  • All files sync across desktop and mobile. Access from anywhere
  • Conversation and files stay together. No searching through email threads
  • AI answers initial questions about your services and availability

A Widget That Respects Your Squarespace Design

You spent hours perfecting your Squarespace template. The last thing you want is an ugly chat bubble ruining the aesthetic. Boei's widget customizes to match your exact design: colors, position, icon style, and entrance animations. On a minimalist Squarespace portfolio, it sits quietly in the corner. On a bold brand site, it matches your accent color. Your visitors see a cohesive design, not a third-party widget bolted on.

  • Match your Squarespace template colors with exact hex values
  • Position the widget anywhere: bottom-right, bottom-left, or custom
  • Three widget themes including a minimal style for portfolio sites
  • Dark mode support that follows your Squarespace design
  • Works with Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1 fluid engine templates

How Squarespace Creatives Use Telegram with Boei

Photographers Serving International Clients

A wedding photographer in Amsterdam gets inquiries from Russian and Middle Eastern clients who plan destination weddings. Clients browse the portfolio on Squarespace, click the Telegram widget, and send reference photos of the style they want. The conversation stays on Telegram for months as details evolve.

Designers and Architects with Global Portfolios

An interior designer showcases work on Squarespace. A client in Dubai sends floor plans (50MB+ files) via Telegram. AI answers initial questions about rates and availability. The designer follows up with mood boards and quotes, all in the same Telegram thread.

Squarespace Commerce Sellers

An artist sells limited edition prints on Squarespace Commerce. Buyers from Eastern Europe want to ask about framing, shipping costs, and customs duties. Telegram answers these questions in the buyer's language. The print sells. Without Telegram, that buyer would have bounced.

FAQ

Telegram for Squarespace Questions

How do I add Telegram to Squarespace?

Sign up for Boei, add your Telegram username, customize the widget. In Squarespace, go to Settings, Advanced, Code Injection, and paste the snippet in the footer. Takes 5 minutes. Full Squarespace guide.

Will the widget ruin my Squarespace design?

No. You control every visual detail: colors (hex values), position, size, icon, and animation. Most creatives match their accent color for a native look. The widget sits quietly until a visitor clicks it.

Can clients send large files through the widget?

Yes. Telegram supports files up to 2GB. Clients can send project briefs, reference images, mood boards, and documents directly through the Telegram conversation that started on your Squarespace site.

Do clients need to share their phone number?

No. Telegram uses usernames. Clients message @yourstudio without sharing personal phone numbers. This lowers the barrier for international clients who are cautious about sharing contact details.

Does it work with Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1?

Yes. Works with both versions, all templates including Brine, Bedford, and the 7.1 fluid engine. The widget loads independently and never conflicts with your template.

Can I show Telegram to international visitors only?

Yes. Geo-targeting shows Telegram to visitors from countries where it is dominant (Russia, Iran, Central Asia). Western visitors see WhatsApp or your preferred channel.

Does the AI answer questions about my services?

Yes. AI trains on your Squarespace pages: services, rates, portfolio descriptions, availability. When a potential client asks "do you shoot weddings in Tuscany?" the AI answers from your content.

How much does it cost?

From $11/mo. Includes Telegram widget, AI chatbot, shared inbox, lead capture, 50+ channels, and unlimited team seats. 7-day free trial, no credit card required.
