How Do I Animate Text Blocks in Squarespace?

Last updated on December 26, 2022 @ 7:35 pm

Text blocks are a great way to add interest to your Squarespace website. You can use them to highlight important information, create call-to-actions, or just add a little bit of personality to your pages.

There are a few different ways to animate text blocks in Squarespace. The most popular method is to use the Animation Block. This block allows you to add animations to any text on your site, without having to edit the code.

To use the Animation Block, simply add a new block to your page and select “Animation” from the drop-down menu. Then, enter the text you want to animate and select the animation you want to use. You can also choose when the animation will start and how long it will last.

Another way to animate text blocks is by adding an “Animate” class to the block using the Code Block. This method is a little more advanced, but it gives you more control over the animation.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that animating text blocks in Squarespace can be a bit tricky and may not always work as expected. If you are not comfortable with troubleshooting or code, we recommend leaving this task to a professional.

To use this method, first add a Code Block to your page and add the following code:

Then, replace “Your Text Here” with the text you want to animate. You can also change the delay and duration values to control when the animation will start and how long it will last.

You can also style your text using HTML tags. To do this, simply add the tags around your text in the Code Block. For example, you can make text bold by wrapping it in <b> tags like this:

You can also make text italic by wrapping it in <i> tags or underlined by wrapping it in <u> tags.

Adding animations to your text blocks is a great way to add some personality to your Squarespace site. By using either the Animation Block or the “Animate” class in a Code Block, you can easily add animations to any text on your pages.
