Check out the YouTube video below 👇

To add text to your header navigation bar on Squarespace simply head to Website > Pages > Website Tools > Custom CSS and add the following code to your custom CSS box:

.header-nav-wrapper:after {

content: "INSERT CONTENT HERE" ;

margin-left: 20px;

font-size: 10px;

color: red; 

}

This code tells Squarespace what content you want to add and where you want to add it.

You can of course make tweaks to the code to get the effect you’re after. Your content needs to be inside the speech marks and you can change both the margin (either left or right) and where the text is placed (before or after). You can also change the color and the font size too.
