Squarespace: How To Change Font Color On One Page

Changing the font color on a specific page in Squarespace can help you enhance the visual appeal of your website and maintain brand consistency. Whether you want to highlight a particular section or differentiate content, this guide will walk you through the steps to change font color on one page without affecting the rest of your site.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Identify the Page

First, navigate to the page where you want to change the font color. Make sure you are logged into your Squarespace account and go to the page editor.

Step 2: Find the Block ID or Collection ID

To target the specific text block or section, you need to find the Block ID or Collection ID. You can do this by:

1. Inspecting the Element: Right-click on the text you want to change and select “Inspect” or “Inspect Element.” This will open the developer tools in your browser.
2. Locating the ID: Look for a line that includes id="block-xxxx" or id="collection-xxxx". Copy this ID, as you will need it for the CSS.

Step 3: Add Custom CSS

1. Navigate to Custom CSS: Go to Design > Custom CSS in your Squarespace dashboard.
2. Enter the CSS Code: Use the following CSS template to change the font color. Replace block-xxxx with your actual Block ID or collection-xxxx with your Collection ID.

   #block-xxxx {
       color: #FF5733; /* Change this hex code to your desired color */
   }
   

   If you’re using a Collection ID, the code would look like this:

   #collection-xxxx {
       color: #FF5733; /* Change this hex code to your desired color */
   }
   

3. Save Your Changes: After entering the code, make sure to save your changes by clicking the “Save” button.

Step 4: Preview and Publish

Once you’ve saved your changes, preview the page to ensure that the font color appears as desired. If everything looks good, go ahead and publish your changes.

Additional Tips

• Use Hex Codes: For precise color selection, use hex color codes. You can find color codes using online color pickers.
• Testing: Always preview your changes to see how they look on different devices.
• Revert Changes: If you want to undo the changes, simply remove the CSS code you added in the Custom CSS section.

By following these steps, you can easily change the font color on a specific page in Squarespace, allowing for greater customization and control over your website’s design.
