Resources Database
Do you work with young leaders and want a website to share and collaborate on helpful resources tailored to your specific context, culture, language, or beliefs?
Have you ever wished you could search for content based on more than just the author, date, or category? Have you ever wanted your resources to be searchable and filterable, similar to Amazon, so that people can find exactly what they’re looking for based on your predefined categories?
Look no further. A solution has come to Squarespace.

Members Only OR Make it Public
This specific site is designed to create a members-only space where you can share resources with other leaders. However, you can easily make it public and accessible to all simply by moving the three pages out of the “Members Only Space”! You have options!
The price includes the purchase of the Universal Filter, which I source from https://www.squarewebsites.org/squarespace-plugins/p/universal-filter. The filter alone is $74, so the template design, structure, and filter implementation are the remaining cost of $276 for a total of $350. See price options below if you’d like to DIY your own filters (lowers the price by $100). It requires some coding, but it is definitely doable if you are somewhat familiar with JavaScript. You can make the purchase, give it a shot, and then if you get stuck, reach out to me and I’ll do it for a fixed price of $100.

A Powerful Filter
This template includes a dropdown filter for sorting, category (study, program, camp, admin, etc.), format (app, doc, video, message), “challenge” (organization specific lingo), age, languages, and creator.
For lack of a better term, search and filter results like you’re shopping on Amazon for the exact fit you’re looking for!
You can custom name the headings of your filter options to be anything you’d like. This filter is currently set up for blog container items. If you would like it for products, contact me for a custom-design quote.
Tech Specs
There are three purchase options listed below. One option where I will edit the filter for you (included in your purchase price). Or a discounted version where you can set it up yourself (purchase this template and I will provide a $100 refund. See details below).
In the future, to make changes to your filter you will need to know a bit about how to edit javascript and/or you can hire me to adjust the filter to meet your needs. Each item is a blog post that has a specific set of categories and tags, then the filter chooses which tags to reference for particular searches.
It’s plug and play if you are familiar with the code. And if not, I can help you out!
A Beautiful Homepage for Browsing
Make it Collaborative
As you can see, there are buttons for user to contribute their own resources and to leave comments. This site can be set up with the ability for users to contribute to the database however, this cannot be automated. We used a Google Form to collect data and then manually duplicated existing blog posts and manually entered in the data for each resource.
Three Options for Purchase
Set up filters for me: I set up your filters for you. Upon checkout, you will be prompted to provide your desired filter options (age, format type, color, etc. any category or name you would like to give it!). I will implement these filter options within this existing style and template, and then send you an invitation for access to your new site template. If you do require assistance and would like me to set up your filter options, please allow an additional couple of days.
Redesign the STYLE for me: If you would like a different style or design for your filter options (as seen on https://www.squarewebsites.org/squarespace-plugins/p/universal-filter), I am available for hire to custom-design your filter at an estimated rate of $100 per hour. Please contact me for a quote. Quotes will vary depending on the scale of your “remodel” to the existing filter and the amount of content you have.
Send Template “as is” (DIY filter code): If you prefer to set up the filters yourself, I can provide you with the template within 48 hrs. Just write a note in the form during checkout where it asks for your filter options, stating that you will do it yourself. With this option, I will also provide a $100 refund to you after your purchase.
Important Notes:
✅ This template is for a NEW Squarespace site that you will customize yourself.
❌ It will NOT automatically apply to an existing site.
🔄 If you have an existing site, you’ll need to manually transfer your content or hire me for assistance.
Need Help Transferring Your Content?
If you’d like me to migrate your content and ensure a smooth transition, I offer content transfer services at $100 per hour, depending on the size and complexity of your site. Contact me for a quote!
