How Do I Create a Scroll Down Button in Squarespace?

Last updated on December 13, 2022 @ 1:24 am

There are a few different ways that you can go about adding a scroll down button in Squarespace. One way is to use the built-in button feature.

To do this, go to the Design tab and click on the Buttons option. From here, you can choose to add a button to any page on your site. Simply select the page you want to add the button to, enter the URL you want the button to link to, and then choose your preferred style and color.

Another way to add a scroll down button in Squarespace is to use HTML. This method requires a bit more code, but it gives you more control over the design of your button.

To start, create a new code block and switch it to HTML mode. Then, paste the following code into your code block:

< a href="#target" >
< button >Scroll Down< /button >
< /a >

Replace “#target” with the ID of the element you want to scroll to. For example, if you wanted to scroll down to a heading on your page with the ID “heading-1”, you would change “#target” to “#heading-1”.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that creating a scroll down button in Squarespace can be difficult and may not work as intended. We recommend only attempting this if you are comfortable with code and are familiar with Squarespace’s platform.

Once you’ve done that, save your changes and preview your page. You should now see a scroll down button that takes you to the element with the ID you specified.

There are a few different ways that you can style your scroll down button using HTML. One way is to add inline CSS styles to the code above. For example, if you wanted to change the color of your button, you would add the following code:

< a href="#target" >
< button style="color:red;" >Scroll Down< /button >
< /a >

You can also add CSS styles using an external stylesheet. To do this, simply create a new stylesheet and link it to your Squarespace site. Then, add the following CSS code to your stylesheet:

button {
color: red; /* Change this to whatever color you want */
}

Once you’ve saved your changes, preview your page and see how your button looks!
