Understanding Squarespace template customization


As mentioned in Chapter 3, Working with Squarespace Templates, every Squarespace template allows some level of control over the appearance of various page elements, but the amount of control and which elements you can change varies from template to template. In most templates, you will usually be able to make the following kind of adjustments:

  • Color: This allows you to change the color of text, backgrounds, or certain page areas, such as the navbar or page borders

  • Typography: This allows you to select fonts, adjust text size, and apply text styles, such as uppercase (all caps)

  • Size: This allows you to adjust the height or width and spacing between elements
