Index pages and longer pages often benefit from using different background colors for sections to break up their appearance and add interest. This technique makes the page more visually stimulating.
Squarespace makes it very simple to customize the background color of individual blocks, while changing that of an entire section or page can be more complex.
How to Change the Background Color of a Text Block
If you want a text block on your Squarespace site to stand out, such as an offer or disclaimer in a blog post, simple CSS can help make this happen. By identifying its identification number and adding custom CSS for every text block type on your site, each one can have its own background color regardless of type or size.
First, open the page on which you wish to change the background color of a text block by clicking on its title in the top right corner of your browser. Next, click pencil icon in top left corner section before scrolling down and selecting “Colors”. Finally, set color preference by scrolling to bottom and clicking on “Colors.”
From here, you can select your color from either the palette or enter a specific code to apply to a section. After making your choice, click “Save” to apply it immediately.
If your template uses colors defined by the Style Editor, you can change a single text block’s background color by selecting it and clicking the “Edit Background” button. This will open up the Style Editor so you can either select one from your color palette or enter its code directly.
Apart from changing the background color of a text block, you can also alter its font, size and other formatting features. For more information on formatting text please check out our guide on Formatting Text.
If your template already comes with a predefined background color, you can easily add patterns and images to its background by accessing the Design tab and clicking “Backgrounds”. Once there, choose either “Custom background image” and upload an image from your computer, or gradients (which create subtle transitions from one color to the next) – once done click “Save” to apply your changes and save your site!
How to Change the Background Color of an Entire Section
Squarespace makes website building simple for anyone. With numerous templates to select and a user-friendly interface that lets you drag-and-drop text, images and other elements with ease, Squarespace provides real time preview of changes you make which is especially helpful when building for clients or businesses that require knowing exactly what the end result will look like prior to going live.
One feature of Squarespace that may go under-appreciated by many users is the option to customize the background color of an entire section. This can be particularly useful if you have a long page that needs breaking up or draw attention to certain parts of it.
To change the background color of an entire section, first navigate to the page you would like to edit and click on its ‘Edit’ icon. Afterward, select the Colors tab and enter your preferred background hue into its field.
Once you have chosen your background color, be sure to save your changes. If using Squarespace with Dark Mode enabled, keep in mind that changing a section’s background won’t affect other elements on the page – the feature uses CSS for global control of background colors rather than applying individually to blocks or pages.
An alternative way of changing the background color of an entire section is with a shape block. This technique provides a more unique backdrop than standard page backgrounds can offer; simply add one to your page before dragging it onto any section you would like to change its background color.
Squarespace allows you to change not only the background color of an entire section but also customize the colors of individual buttons, making them stand out and encouraging users to click them. To change a button’s hue, first identify it by inspecting its HTML code in your browser; then open up Design > Custom CSS from within Squarespace’s Editor interface and make your change.
How to Change the Background Color of a Page
Squarespace is an intuitive website builder with an uncluttered, minimalist aesthetic designed to let your content stand out. One of the key benefits is its template-based page layouts, enabling you to easily alter font styles and color palettes, layout options, images for individual sections or pages, etc. Flexibility allows you to tailor the appearance of your website to match your aesthetic and brand; however, sometimes it can be challenging for certain aspects to stand out – for example button colors – due to this factor. Buttons differ from most page elements in that each is customized with its own CSS class, giving you more freedom in terms of color adjustments to ensure they blend in perfectly with the overall website design. This allows for individual tweaks on specific buttons so they meet exactly with your overall website aesthetic.
To understand how to change the background color of a Squarespace button, let’s begin by creating a page with an empty text block. To do this, log into your Squarespace site and click the Add + button located at the top-left corner of its editor.
Once you’ve added your text block, use the Fill color field to choose a background color for it. Or use the dropdown menu in the left sidebar to customize a unique background for your entire page! After selecting one color from either option, click Apply to save your settings and get to work!
Now that your text block background color has been altered, the next step should be ensuring the button itself is highlighted appropriately. You can do this by adding two lines of code to its CSS class: one specifies rounding of icon while the second specifies underlining text when hovered upon.
These are the two basic ways to change a Squarespace button’s color, though there may be minor tweaks you can make as well. For instance, adding a hover effect by adding an animation when users hover over your button may also work – though this code only works with Brine family of templates so may not apply in all situations.
How to Change the Background Color of a Post
Squarespace is a website builder that makes creating websites easy without the need for any coding knowledge. Their extensive template library features designs that can be adjusted and personalized according to an individual site owner’s requirements; one such feature allows you to change the background color of text blocks for emphasis, as well as making particular areas stand out more.
To change the background color of a text block, navigate to the page where your block resides and click on its pencil icon to open for editing. Next, go into its left-hand column background option and choose one from amongst available colors – you may even enter its hex code for faster results!
Once you have selected a color, click on the Save button to save your changes and move onto step 2. If you wish to alter another block’s background color as well, repeat step 1 until all text blocks on your website have had their background colors modified.
If you would like a site that features sections with different background colors, this can be accomplished by adding pages with images as backgrounds and inserting text blocks within each of those pages, selecting color options in the left-hand column of each text block and placing one inside that page.
Changes to the mobile menu colors on Squarespace were previously complex; but with the release of Squarespace 7.1, this process has become significantly simpler, making any necessary modifications as straightforward as any other part of your site.
Common in modern websites is having longer pages with various background colors that draw the eye and highlight key information, creating sections of longer pages that use this strategy to attract attention and highlight important content. Doing this is one way of increasing engagement on your site and encouraging visitors to take the desired action; however, with Squarespace 7.1 design your buttons may use the same site-wide settings that were set within Design menu, making creating eye-catching button colors difficult.
