You could have spent weeks designing an amazing Squarespace website, creating an unrivalled online experience for your users, but there’s one thing that people forget to do time and time again that can ruin the overall impression your website gives. 

What is it? Changing the browser icon of your Squarespace website.

The browser icon is the small icon that appears in the website tab when a user accesses your website via desktop. Most websites opt to use a small version of their logo or a specific icon relating to their brand.

If you forget to change it however Squarespace will just use a cube icon by default. This can make your website appear unfinished and doesn’t give off a particularly professional impression. 

The irony is that changing a browser icon on Squarespace couldn’t be simpler, so there’s literally no excuse not to do it. 

How to change a browser icon on Squarespace 

Navigate to the design panel and select browser icon. 

Select add a favicon and upload the logo or icon you want to use for your browser icon.

Hit save and refresh your webpage and you’ll see that your browser icon has changed from Squarespace’s default grey cube icon to your chosen logo.

See, I told you it was simple didn’t I? It’s such a quick and easy way to make your website look more professional and gives your website a sense of authority. Changing the browser icon is the cherry on top of your Squarespace website.

Does landing on a website that hasn’t changed the browser icon annoy you as much as it annoys me?
