How to Change Header Color on One Page Only in Squarespace
One of the best things about Squarespace is the ability to choose themes that ensure consistent design across your entire website.
However, there are times when you may want your header to have a different color on one page only, as the page color might clash with the color of the logo you’ve used - as I did on my own website (on this blog!).
How can we achieve this? Don’t worry! I’ve got a quick and easy CSS code to help you make that change in just a couple of minutes.
Disclaimer: You’ll need to be signed up to a Business Plan or higher on your Squarespace website to add this code in.
To get started, you’ll need to identify which page you want to make this change on. In your website settings, find your page, and click the settings icon next to it.
With the settings dialog open, click “Advanced” and then “Page Header Code Injection”.
Next, just copy and paste the following code into the box:
<style>
#header {
background: #000000 !important;
color: #FFFFFF !important;
}
</style>
To pick your colors, simply change your desired background color’s hex code for the header color, and the color hex code to change the color of the text.
Need to change the color of your header’s button too? No problem, you can add the further line of code below:
header#header a.btn {
background-color: #000000 !important;
color: #FFFFFF !important
}
Hit save and you’re all done. You can use this code on every single page if you like and have a different color on each page!
5 Benefits of Changing Your Header Color on One Page:
1. Enhanced Visual Hierarchy
A unique header color on specific pages helps differentiate content visually, guiding visitors’ focus to important pages or sections, like a landing page or sales page.
2. Improved User Experience
Tailoring the header color to match the page’s theme or message can create a more cohesive and immersive user experience, keeping the look and feel relevant to the content on that page.
3. Branding Flexibility
You can maintain consistency with your brand’s color palette while still experimenting with variations on different pages to align with campaigns, product launches, or seasonal promotions.
4. Page-Specific Call to Action (CTA)
Changing the header color can highlight a CTA relevant to that page, making it stand out and encouraging visitors to take action, such as signing up for a newsletter or making a purchase.
5. Increased Conversion Rates
By strategically altering the header color to grab attention or support the overall page design, you can make key sections more prominent, helping to boost user engagement and, ultimately, conversions.
