Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 12:48 am

Adding a gradient background in Squarespace is easy! You just need to add a few lines of code to your CSS file. Here’s how:

1.

Firstly, you need to create a gradient. To do this, you can use a online gradient generator like this one. Once you’ve generated your gradient, copy the code that it gives you.

2. Next, open up the CSS file for your Squarespace site.

You can find this by going to Settings > Advanced > Code Injection > Header. Paste your gradient code into this file.

3. Now you need to add some code to style the element that you want to have a gradient background. For example, if you want to style the body element, you would add the following code:

body { 
  background: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #000000, #ffffff); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */
  background: -o-linear-gradient(right, #000000, #ffffff); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */
  background: -moz-linear-gradient(right, #000000, #ffffff); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */
  background: linear-gradient(to right, #000000, #ffffff); /* Standard syntax (must be last) */
}

And that’s it! You’ve now added a gradient background to an element on your Squarespace site.
