How to Change Font Size for Individual Summary Blocks on Squarespace
In today's digital age, having an appealing and user-friendly website is crucial for web design, marketing, and SEO purposes. Squarespace, a popular website building platform, offers a variety of customization options, including the ability to change font sizes for individual summary blocks. In this blog post, I will guide you through the step-by-step process of changing font size for summary blocks on Squarespace using CSS, ensuring your website stands out from the competition.
Step 1: Design
Consider your branding, target audience, and overall design aesthetics to have a clear vision of how you want your website to look and feel. Choose a font size that aligns with your website's design goals, as it plays a significant role in readability and user experience.
Step 2: Choose "Custom CSS"
Log in to your Squarespace account and navigate to the backend of your website. Go to the Pages panel and select the page where your summary block is located. Click on the Edit button for the summary block you wish to modify. In the Summary Block editor, access the Design tab to find the "Custom CSS" option. Open the Custom CSS editor.
Step 3: Injecting the CSS Code
Obtain your unique block code (to learn how to identify block codes, check out this post) then copy this code and replace "YOUR_BLOCK_CODE" with your actual block code. This CSS code targets the title and metadata items within the summary block, adjusting their font size to 16 pixels.
