Yes, you can embed JavaScript in Squarespace. To do so, you’ll need to use the Code Block content type.
The Code Block allows you to enter code without it being altered by the Squarespace platform. This is useful for adding third-party applications or implementing custom code.
Before you add code to your site, it’s important to understand how coding works on the web. When you add code to your site, you’re essentially adding new instructions for the browser to follow. These instructions tell the browser how to display the content on your pages.
If you’re not comfortable working with code, we recommend finding a developer who can help you implement the changes you want. Remember, code is permanent — if something goes wrong, it can be difficult to undo the changes.
Adding code to your site is done through the Code Block content type. This content type is found in the Content Manager. To add a Code Block:
- Open the Content Manager and click + Add Content.
- In the Choose Content Type dialog, click Code. If you don’t see Code listed, click More. This displays all available content types.
You can also add a Code Block by selecting + Add Content from anywhere in Site Manager and selecting Code.
Once you’ve added a Code Block, paste your code into the large text box. You can then use the settings in the right panel to control how the block appears on your site.
When adding code to your site, we recommend taking a few minutes to review our Coding Best Practices guide. This guide covers common issues that can arise when working with code and provides solutions for avoiding them.
Adding Customizations with Code Injection
Our platform provides several ways to customize your site without having to edit code. For example, most of our templates include built-in customization options that let you change things like fonts and colors without having to write any code.
If you’re comfortable working with code, we provide a feature called Code Injection. This tool lets you add custom CSS, JavaScript, and HTML directly to your site. It’s located in Site Styles under Design and Layout.
