A splash screen is an image or page that appears when you first load a website. Splash screens are a popular way to showcase a company’s logo, or to provide visitors with information about the website before they begin browsing.

Another way to create a splash screen is to use a third-party app or plugin. Several apps are available that allow you to create and customize splash screens for your Squarespace website.
The final way to create a splash screen is to code it yourself using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This method is more advanced and requires knowledge of coding languages. If you’re not comfortable coding, we recommend using one of the other methods.
