Description
- Marginalia: A Writer Squarespace Website Template
- Marginalia is a literary, editorial template for writers that sets your work in motion with parallax scrolling and smooth page transitions. Warm paper tones, expressive serif typography and generous reading layouts make essays, stories and books feel like they belong in print. It’s flexible too: choose sticky, fixed or static navigation, masonry or grid layouts, show or hide captions, and keep or remove the large image header.
