How Do I Change the Layout Template in Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:44 am

PRO TIP: If you are not comfortable working with code, we recommend finding a developer to help you with this. Changing the layout template in Squarespace can result in unexpected changes to your site, and may break some features.

There are two ways to change the layout of your Squarespace site. You can either use the LayoutEngine, or you can use CSS.

The LayoutEngine is a tool that allows you to change the layout of your site without having to know any HTML or CSS. To use the LayoutEngine, simply select the element you want to move, and then click on the “Move” button. You can also use the LayoutEngine to change the order of your pages.

To use CSS to change the layout of your Squarespace site, you will need to edit the “style.css” file. This file is located in the “styles” folder, which is in the “assets” folder. To edit this file, you will need to use a text editor such as Notepad++ or Sublime Text.

In the “style.css” file, you will need to find the code for the layout that you want to change. For example, if you want to change the layout of your home page, you will need to find the code for the home page layout. To do this, simply search for “home-page-layout” in the “style.

Once you have found the code for the layout that you want to change, simply copy and paste it into your “style. You can then make changes to this code, such as changing the width of an element or changing the color of an element.

It’s important to note that when you make changes to your “style.css” file, those changes will only be applied to your Squarespace site if you have selected the “Custom CSS” option in your Site Styles panel. If you have not selected this option, your changes will not be applied.

In conclusion, there are two ways that you can change the layout template in Squarespace – by using either the LayoutEngine or by using CSS. If you want to make changes to your Squarespace site without having to know any HTML or CSS, then we recommend using the LayoutEngine tool. However, if you are comfortable editing code and want more control over how your site looks, then we recommend using CSS.
