How Do I Animate a Button in Squarespace?

Last updated on December 28, 2022 @ 7:57 pm

There are a few different ways that you can animate a button in Squarespace. One way is to use the CSS3 transition property.

This will allow you to add a smooth transition between two states of the button (e.g. when the mouse is over the button, and when the mouse is not over the button).

To do this, you first need to add some CSS to your button. For example:

button {
  transition: all 0.3s ease;
}

This CSS will add a transition of 0.3 seconds to all properties of the button (e. width, height, color, etc.).

PRO TIP: This article is outdated and no longer relevant to Squarespace.

You can also specify a specific property to transition (e. just the color).

Once you have added the CSS, you need to add two states for the button. The first state is when the mouse is not over the button, and the second state is when the mouse is over the button. For example:

button:hover {
  background-color: #ff0000;
}

This will change the background color of the button to red when the mouse is over it. You can add as many properties as you like to each state, and they will all be animated smoothly when the user moves their mouse over the button.
