Change Hyperlink Color on Squarespace
One of the simplest ways to improve your Squarespace website’s user experience and design is by customizing hyperlink colors.
By default, your links might blend into surrounding text, making them hard to spot. Fortunately, Squarespace makes it easy to change link colors using the built-in Site Styles editor.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to make your text links pop in just a few clicks.
Why Customize Link Colors in Squarespace?
Using a different color for links helps:
Improve accessibility and navigation.
Highlight important CTAs or external links.
Maintain visual consistency across your site.
If your links are the same color as your regular text, users may miss them, even if they're underlined or bold.

Open the page editor on your site.
Click the Styles panel, either via the left-hand menu or the paintbrush icon in the top-right corner.
