Quick Access - Anchor Links Plugin for Squarespace
Sometimes Squarespace’s vanilla navigation options just aren’t enough. On content-heavy sites, users will oftentimes find themselves having to scroll far more than they’d like, to reach content.
If users are scrolling through loads of content to find the exact information they’re after, they will usually scroll past the content they’re looking for. This can results in a lot of confusion and frustration, leading to them leaving the site.
THE ANCHOR Links PLUGIN
Introducing the Anchor Links plugin! The plugin offers a simple way to flow through a page with the introduction of a submenu, which sticks to the bottom left-hand side of the screen.
Test it for yourself! The Plugin has been installed into this blog post. Make a splash!
HOW IT WORKS
Using only code blocks and a little bit of CSS code in the Design CSS editor, you can link any section of your page to the Anchor Link menu, I have marked the Anchor points on the blog post so you can view each section.
The Anchor Menu allows for super quick access, no more need for scrolling.
INSTALLATION
All our plugins have been given a difficulty rating from 1 -3. This Plugin has a difficulty rating of 2.
This plugin works in both Squarespace 7 and 7.1. Fortunately, it doesn’t use JavaScript, but does require some configuration using Squarespace code blocks.
It’s just a simple case of copying and pasting the code into the right areas. Follow our plugin installation instructions for an easy step by step tutorial on how to install the plugin.
CUSTOMISATION
We’ve allowed for a degree of customisation within the Anchor Link plugin. Allowing it to fit all websites designs and brand. Depending on the Anchor Links needed, the height can be scaled to be more prominent on the page. You can refine the links by adjusting space and font types. For a finishing touch, you can insert your own hexadecimal values for custom colour pallets.
