Squarespace makes it easy to embed content from other websites that support oEmbed with an iframe using its Code Block content type. Simply edit a page and add a new Code block!
Integrating an iframe into an unprotected website could pose a security risk; to minimize the potential harm, ensure that its URL begins with https.
Embedding a video
Videos are an engaging way to engage visitors and attract new ones, but adding one properly requires knowing the ins-and-outs of how best to add one. There are several methods of doing this including uploading direct and using URL/embed code – this guide will walk through them all so you can see their benefits/cons.
An effective way of adding videos to your Squarespace website is using a gallery block. This enables you to easily create slideshows, carousels, or stacks of videos – perfect if you want a customized viewing experience! Simply navigate to the page or post where you wish to add videos and select an insert point; click Gallery Block then Layout; once selected enter video URL into Video Block then Save
Add videos to any webpage or post by using either a text block or code block, with each method offering unique advantages: text blocks use HTML editing while code blocks can accept various programming languages; only HTML would work in a text block while visual editors might accept various other languages as input.
Use YouTube or Vimeo embed codes as another method for adding videos to Squarespace sites, especially if the video already resides elsewhere on the Internet. Simply create a page or post and select an insert point, add a Text Block or Code Block, copy/paste the embed code for your video into it and replace asterisks with its unique URL to complete.
Embedding a form
Embedding forms on your Squarespace website is an efficient and cost-effective way of gathering user information, from prequalifying leads and gathering feedback, to conducting surveys for market research data collection. Online forms offer a secure, cost-effective method of collecting this data; however not all tools work seamlessly with every site – however using just a bit of code you can embed virtually any form onto any Squarespace website!
First, create the form that you would like to embed. When finished, click ‘Share/Embed’ from the left menu and select either Inline form or Popup form before copying and pasting its HTML code into a Code Block on your Squarespace website before adding a Title and Saving it.
If your iframe isn’t loading as intended, it may be because it’s being pulled from an untrustworthy source. This is often due to large websites like Google or Facebook attempting to prevent clickjacking – which involves tricking people into clicking a page which looks different than expected – by blocking iframes as part of their efforts against fraudsters attempting to lure users in by manipulating content that appears different than expected.
To solve this, change the address in your iframe to an SSL-secured URL – similar to how Google ReCAPTCHA works for forms. Although ReCAPTCHA may not prevent spam submissions entirely, it can significantly decrease them.
If you’re using the free version of Google Forms, embedded forms may take some time to load when embedded on a Squarespace website as this version only supports HTTP pages while Squarespace requires HTTPS pages.
Once you’ve added an iframe to your Squarespace site, adding the Bookwhen schedule to any public page is simple. Simply visit that public page and click ‘Page setup’ in the top right-hand corner to generate HTML codes for buttons links, standard links and embedded iframes; copy and paste one into your website page layout before adjusting its size as necessary.
Embedding a calendar
Integrating a calendar into your Squarespace website is a fantastic way to keep visitors up-to-date on upcoming events and schedules, engage your target audience, streamline website management processes, provide user-friendly experiences for visitors, and reduce security risks. However, embedding calendars poses potential risks that should be taken into consideration; such as potential security concerns related to third-party services that might experience technical issues that cause your site functionality loss or even slow loading times due to calendar embeds that could compromise page performance.
To add a calendar to your Squarespace website, you first must create or edit an existing page. Copy and paste the embed code from your desired calendar into a code block – you may also choose to customize its look by including background colors or images that make the embedded calendar even more visually appealing! Finally, preview your website to make sure the calendar displays properly; if any issues arise, tweaking either its iframe code or settings could solve them.
Though there are multiple methods for embedding calendars into Squarespace, one of the easiest is through using an HTML snippet or an iframe. To do so, log into your Squarespace account and navigate to your site editor – clicking pencil icon/edit will open block editor where you can choose insert point or add new block to embed an item you want embedded. When ready, enter URL address of item you’d like embedded as URL field of block editor; for assistance visit “Adding content with blocks.”
Once you have created a Google Calendar, embedding it on a Squarespace page allows visitors to see it easily and connect with you more efficiently. By showing visitors your availability and making it simpler for them to connect, this feature facilitates engagement between audiences and individuals.
Use an online Google Calendar plugin for Squarespace to customize its appearance. These plugins are easy to install, offering various design options – you could, for instance, change font style or size as well as turning it into a responsive widget allowing your visitors to access it across devices from desktop computers through tablets and smartphones.
Embedding a contact form
Contact forms are one of the key components of a website, allowing visitors to reach out directly and providing you with valuable leads or feedback from potential customers. Squarespace offers various contact forms you can embed on your site for collecting contact info, payments and more; additionally you can create customized forms by embedding a third-party tool like Jotform.
To add a contact form to your Squarespace website, first log in and navigate to the page where you would like the form embedded. Next click “+” sign to create new content block and choose the ‘Embed’ option before pasting in your embed code into ‘Embed Code’ box and clicking ‘Done.’ You may have to adjust its size accordingly before click on ‘Done.’
Once you have entered your form code, click “Publish” to activate and display it on your website. Pro accounts allow you to further manage embed access by specifying an approved list of domains for embedding purposes. For more information about Squarespace’s embed feature please see their Embed help doc.
Integrating a Bookwhen form into your Squarespace website is easy and should only take minutes. Simply navigate to the public page where your Bookwhen schedule will appear and open up the Page setup menu in the top-right corner of your screen; here, you will be presented with automatically generated HTML codes for Button link, Standard link, and an Embedded Iframe link.
Select the Embedded Iframe option and clear out the default “Hello World” text in the Iframe field, before pasting in your embed code from ShortStack into it and clicking “Done.” Additionally, you can customize its size by using the content block editor’s Size feature.
Once you’ve added the iframe, use the Style Editor to customize its form button so it ties in with your website’s branding and theme. Change its text from “Contact Us” to “Book Now,” and get ready to start booking clients!
