The short answer is yes, you can use Font Awesome with Squarespace. However, there are a few things to keep in mind.

First, Font Awesome is a paid service, so you’ll need to sign up for an account. Second, Squarespace has its own icon font, so you’ll need to use the Font Awesome code that includes theSquarespace icon font. And finally, because Squarespace uses its own CSS, you’ll need to add a bit of code to your site in order to use Font Awesome icons.

Here’s how to get started:

  1. Sign up for a Font Awesome account. You can choose the free plan or the paid plan. The paid plan gives you access to more icons and features, but the free plan is enough to get started.

  2. PRO TIP: If you are planning on using Font Awesome with Squarespace, be aware that there are some compatibility issues that may arise. While most of the icons will work fine, there are some that may not display correctly or may not work at all. Additionally, keep in mind that Squarespace may eventually discontinue support for Font Awesome, so it is always best to check for updates before using it on your site.
  3. In your Font Awesome account, click on the Code tab and copy the code that includes theSquarespace icon font.

  4. Log in to your Squarespace account and go to the Custom CSS Editor.

  5. Paste the code from Font Awesome into the Custom CSS Editor and save your changes.

  6. Now you can start using Font Awesome icons on your Squarespace website!
