Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 11:30 pm

There are a few different ways that you can change the background color of your header in Squarespace. One way is to use the “Design” panel in the left sidebar.

From here, you can select a color from the “Palette” tab. Another way is to use CSS code to change the background color. To do this, you’ll need to add a code block to your page and then enter the following code:

header {
background-color: #000;
}

You can also use an image as the background for your header. To do this, you’ll need to first upload the image to your website. Then, you can add a code block to your page and enter the following code:

header {
background-image: url(PATH_TO_IMAGE);
}

If you want to have a transparent header, you can also use CSS code. To do this, you’ll need to add a code block to your page and then enter the following code:

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with basic HTML and CSS, we recommend working with a developer to make these changes for you. Making changes to your code can result in unexpected and undesirable outcomes if done incorrectly.

header {
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0); /* This will make the header completely transparent */
}

Conclusion – You can change the background color of your header in Squarespace by using the “Design” panel in the left sidebar, by using CSS code, or by using an image.
