How to Customize Your Squarespace Mobile Menu Icon
If you're using Squarespace as your website builder, you're probably already familiar with its intuitive interface and excellent customization options. But did you know you can further customize it beyond the given features, such as customizing your mobile menu with an image? Here's a simple guide that will teach you how to achieve this in just a few steps using CSS.
Step 1: Choose an Image
First, select an image that you would like to use as your mobile menu icon. It can be a personalized logo, an icon, or any other graphic of your choice. Just ensure it fits well with your overall website design.
Step 2: Host the Image
Next, host your chosen image on the web. Squarespace provides an inbuilt feature to host images or you can use an external hosting service. To use the built in feature on Squarespace, head to Design > custom CSS > manage files > upload the image. Once uploaded, you need to obtain the image's URL. This URL will replace 'YOUR IMAGE URL HERE' in the code snippet provided above. To insert the URL, simply click on the file. (Note: make sure the URL is in between the apostrophes.)
Step 3: Access Squarespace CSS Editor
To insert the CSS code, navigate to your Squarespace dashboard. Click on "Design" then "Custom CSS." This is where you can add or modify CSS codes for your site.

Step 4: Modify and Insert the Code
In the Custom CSS editor, copy and paste the code provided. Replace 'YOUR IMAGE URL HERE' in the 'background-image' property with the URL of the image you hosted in Step 2.
//CUSTOM MOBILE MENU//
.burger {
background-image: url('YOUR IMAGE URL HERE');
background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: right;
background-color: transparent !important;
}
.burger-inner {
display: none;
}
Step 5: Save and Review Changes
Once you've made the changes, hit 'Save.' Now, you can view the changes live on your site. Remember to check the appearance on a mobile device or by shrinking your browser window to mimic a mobile view.
And that's it! You've now customized your mobile menu icon with an image.
Now you're not only equipped with a customized mobile menu but also a little more knowledge about CSS. Happy customizing!
