Can you add HTML to Squarespace | Step by step guide

One of the most common questions I get asked as a Squarespace web designer is, can you add HTML to Squarespace websites?

Squarespace is famous for being a “no-code” drag and drop website builder that requires no web design skill or coding experience. And whilst that is true, it doesn’t mean that you can’t utilise code to make your Squarespace website even further.

So the short answer is yes, you can add HTML to Squarespace websites. Let’s take a look at how.
