So, you’ve built a stellar FAQ section on your Squarespace website. But something’s off—the description text just doesn’t pop! Don’t worry, adjusting the color is easier than you think. Let’s walk through it step by step. And guess what? It’s going to be fun and simple!
Why Even Change It?
The FAQ description might look dull or maybe it’s blending into the background. Colors can make it stand out, match your brand, or just look way cooler. The best part? A little tweak brings a lot of personality to your site.
Step 1: Go to the FAQ Section
First things first, access your Squarespace account. Head to the page with your FAQ block and click on Edit. Once there, hover over the FAQ content. A small toolbar will pop up, and you’ll see an option to modify the block settings.
Step 2: Add Custom CSS
Squarespace doesn’t provide a direct option to tweak FAQ description colors in the block editor. But don’t worry, we can use CSS to get the job done. Here’s how:
- Navigate to Design in the left-hand menu on your Squarespace dashboard.
- Click on Custom CSS. This is where the magic happens!
Step 3: Use This Code
Now enter (or copy-paste) the following code into the Custom CSS field:
.sqs-block-faq .faq-item p {
color: #FF5733; /* Replace this with your chosen color */
}
Explanation: This code specifically targets the description text inside your FAQ section. Most browsers understand color codes in HEX format (like #FF5733). Feel free to replace it!
Step 4: Test Different Colors
Not happy with the first color you tried? No problem. Here’s the fun part—experimentation!
Try these:
- Black:
#000000 - White:
#FFFFFF - Soft Blue:
#5DADE2 - Warm Yellow:
#F4D03F
Remember, the color you pick should complement your website’s overall design. Contrasts work wonders but don’t go too wild unless bold is your brand’s vibe.
Step 5: Save Your Work
Don’t just live on the edge—click Save after you’re satisfied. Don’t leave all your hard work hanging in limbo!
Step 6: Preview Your Page
Always preview the page where your FAQ is located. Check how it looks on both desktop and mobile. Sometimes, colors that are brilliant on a laptop can look very different on a phone screen.
Troubleshooting Tips
Not seeing the changes? Here are some things to check:
- Did you click Save after entering the Custom CSS?
- Did you copy the CSS code correctly? Even one missing bracket might throw it off!
- Clear your browser’s cache and refresh the page.
- If you’re using a custom FAQ solution (not Squarespace’s FAQ block), the code might need tweaking.
Go Beyond Just Color
You’ve mastered changing the description color. But why stop there? You can tweak font size, styles, or even add animations. For instance, add this to make the descriptions bold:
.sqs-block-faq .faq-item p {
color: #FF5733;
font-weight: bold;
}
Play around and test different ideas. Just remember to keep it user-friendly and aligned with your design goals!
Final Thoughts
Changing the FAQ description color in Squarespace might seem technical at first, but as you’ve just learned, it’s not rocket science. With a sprinkle of CSS and a dash of creativity, your FAQ page will look like a million bucks.
So, get in there! Brighten up those descriptions and give your FAQs the vibrant personality they deserve. After all, it’s the little things that make a website truly memorable.
