How Do I Change a Style in Squarespace?

Last updated on December 29, 2022 @ 6:34 pm

There are two ways to change the style of your text in Squarespace. The first is to use the inline editor, and the second is to use CSS.

If you want to make a quick change to the style of your text, you can use the inline editor. To do this, simply select the text you want to change and click the “Style” button in the toolbar. This will open a menu with a number of different style options that you can apply to your text, including font size, color, and weight.

If you want to have more control over the style of your text, you can use CSS. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a code language that allows you to create custom styles for your website.

To use CSS on your Squarespace site, you’ll need to add a code block and enter your CSS code into it. For more information on how to do this, check out our Using CSS article.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, changing a style in Squarespace can result in your site looking messy and unprofessional. Make sure to preview your changes before making them live, and always back up your site before making any major changes.

Once you’ve added your CSS code, you can then style any element on your site by using the “style” attribute. For example, if you wanted to make all of the text on your site red, you would add the following CSS code:

* {
color: red;
}

You can also use CSS to style specific elements on your site. For example, if you only wanted to make the text in your header red, you would add the following code:

#header {
>color: red;
}

Whether you want to make a quick change or have more control over the style of your text, there are two ways – using the inline editor or by using CSS – that you can change the style of your text in Squarespace.
