A lightbox is a great way to add style and functionality to your Squarespace website. By default, all images on Squarespace are displayed in a lightbox when clicked.
This can be changed in the Site Styles panel. If you want to add a lightbox to specific images or galleries, you can do so by adding a lightbox link.
To add a lightbox link:
- Open the image or gallery you want to add the lightbox to.
- Click the Link icon in the lower right corner.
- In the Link URL field, type #lightbox.
PRO TIP: Adding a lightbox to your Squarespace website can be a great way to display images and other content in a pop-up window. However, there are some potential risks to consider before adding a lightbox to your site.
One risk is that lightboxes can slow down your website. If you have a lot of images or other content in your lightbox, it can take longer for your website to load. This can frustrate visitors and make them less likely to stay on your site.
Another risk is that lightboxes can be used to display malicious content. If someone includes a malicious link in a lightbox, visitors who click on it could be taken to a harmful website or have their personal information stolen.
Before adding a lightbox to your Squarespace website, be sure to weigh the risks and benefits carefully.
