Have you ever wanted to announce something to all of your website traffic? Using the inbuilt Squarespace Announcement Bar is the best way to do so. In this video, I demonstrate and explain how to enable the announcement bar + modify it, to suit your website.

An announcement bar is a super powerful marketing tool, that is very underrated. It is best used in extremely targeted campaigns. For example, you're promoting a special coupon code, or a flash sale.

Demonstrating Squarespace Announcement Bar

Squarespace has an inbuilt announcement bar option, which is extremely handy. This means it will be optimised across mobile & desktop devices, which I demonstrate.

Enabling Announcement Bar

Navigate to the marketing section of the Squarespace editor, this is where we can enable the announcement bar. Simply enable the bar, and we're good to go & start editing it.

Changing Text in Announcement Bar

Whilst in this section, we can quickly and easily adjust what the text says, plus adjust the direction of the link.

Designing Announcement Bar

Navigate to the site styles editor and select the announcement bar. In here, we can adjust the colour, font and other design features of the announcement bar.

Desktop & Mobile Announcement Bar

We quickly preview the announcement bar on mobile & desktop devices, to check it working properly.

I hope you learnt a thing or two from this tutorial.

Keep safe,

Cheers,
