How to Add a Squarespace Announcement Bar?

Are you a Squarespace website owner seeking how to draw attention to a new development on their site?

If that’s the case, it might be time for you to consider adding an announcement bar.

An announcement bar is a great way to ensure your website visitors know any current or upcoming events, deals, and other important information. And best of all, it’s relatively easy to add and style with Squarespace.

Here’s how to add an announcement bar on Squarespace in three simple steps:

Step 1

Open the Announcement Bar panel on your computer by navigating to “Marketing” >>> “Announcement Bar” from your website dashboard.

Step 2

Once you’ve selected the “Enable Announcement Bar” option from the drop-down menu, you can enter the text for your announcement bar in the provided field. You can customise the text by making it bold, italicised, or adding links to relevant pages or content.

Step 3

To make the announcement bar clickable, enter a web address in the “Clickthrough URL” field or click the “Gear” icon to set up other links.

Alternatively, you can access the “Announcement Bar” panel on the Squarespace mobile app by tapping the “Settings” icon and selecting “Site Settings.”

Under “Marketing”, you’ll find the “Announcement Bar” option. You can turn it on by tapping the “Show” toggle and customising the text in the provided field.
