Using the Squarespace Image Carousel to Showcase Photos of your Historic Locomotives and Buildings.
One great feature of Squarespace is the image carousel, which allows you to showcase several photos at once, providing an engaging and visually pleasing way to present your heritage railroad or museum's story. You can use this tool to show off stunning images of your historic locomotives and buildings, as well as highlight any upcoming events or other important information. Squarespace provides visual-focused templates and designs to ensure your collection and experience is showcased in the best way.
Incorporating Video Content into Your Heritage Railroad Site Using Squarespace’s Embeddable Player.
Video content is a great tool for providing viewers an immersive experience of your heritage railroad or museum. Squarespace allows you to easily embed video from YouTube, Vimeo and other providers into any page. This is especially useful if you want to give visitors a live stream of your locomotives running through the mountains, or historic buildings being restored - anything that you think will enhance the visitor's understanding and appreciation of what it is that your heritage railroad or museum offers.
Adding an eCommerce Store & Online Ticketing System to Your Railway Website with Squarespace Blocks and Apps.
Squarespace provides powerful features to enable you to easily add an eCommerce store and online ticketing system to your heritage railroad or museum website. With Squarespace Blocks, like the Registration Block, and apps like Checkout, it’s easy to set up products for sale and tickets for your events. By taking advantage of the checkout system integrated into Squarespace, customers will have a secure and seamless experience with your railway's website.
