How Do I Add HTML CSS and JavaScript to Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 2:36 am

Squarespace is a popular website builder that allows users to create and customize their own websites. While Squarespace does provide some basic HTML and CSS customization options, users who want more control over their website’s design and layout will need to use the Squarespace Developer Platform. The Developer Platform provides access to Squarespace’s code, which can be used to add custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to a Squarespace website.

In order to add HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to a Squarespace website, users will need to create a Code Block. Code Blocks can be added to any Squarespace page, and they allow users to enter their own custom code.

To create a Code Block, users will first need to log into their Squarespace account and navigate to the page where they want to add the Code Block. Once on the desired page, they should click on the “+” icon and select “Code” from the list of options.

PRO TIP: Adding HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to your Squarespace website can be done but it is not recommended. These code languages are not supported by Squarespace and can cause problems with your website.

After selecting “Code”, a new Code Block will be added to the page. Within this Code Block, users can enter their custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code.

Once finished, they can click on the “Save” button to save their changes. Keep in mind that adding custom code to a Squarespace website can result in unexpected behavior if not done correctly. As such, it is always best to test your code on a staging site or local development environment before adding it to your live site.

Adding custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to a Squarespace website can be a great way to further customize your site’s design and layout. However, it is important to note that this is an advanced feature and should only be attempted by those who are comfortable working with code.
