Adding a background image in Squarespace 7 is easy! Just follow these simple steps:

    1. Go to the Design tab and select “Custom CSS.”

    2. In the code editor, paste the following code:

    body {
      background-image: url(https://example.com/image.jpg);
    }

    3. Replace "https://example.jpg" with the URL of your image. Make sure to save your changes!

That's it! Now you have a beautiful background image on your site.

PRO TIP: Adding a background image in Squarespace 7 is a simple process, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, make sure the image you're using is high-resolution and saved as a .jpg or .png file. If the image is too small or low-resolution, it will appear fuzzy or pixelated when applied to your site.

Secondly, keep in mind that background images are repeating by default, so if you choose an image that's too small, it will appear repetitive and may be distracting to your visitors. Be sure to choose an image that's large enough to cover your entire site without looking repetitive.

And finally, remember that you can always adjust the opacity of your background image, so if it's too bright or bold, you can tone it down to better match your site's overall aesthetic.
