How to Make Squarespace Header Smaller?
there are a few ways you can reduce Header Size:
1. Adjust Vertical Padding
Go to the Home menu and click "Design"
Select "Site Styles"
Click on the header element in the preview to select it
Locate the "Vertical Padding" setting and reduce the value to make the header shorter13
2. Decrease Element Spacing
In the Site Styles panel, look for the "Element Spacing" setting
Reducing this value will decrease the spacing between the header and content below it, making the header appear smaller1
3. Modify Header Layout
Click on the header in the Site Styles preview to select it
Look for "Header Layout" settings
Experiment with different layout options like "Stacked" or "Inline" to change the header's appearance and reduce its height
4. Use Custom CSS
If the built-in settings don't provide enough control, you can use custom CSS to precisely adjust the header size
Add a custom CSS block in Site Styles and target the header element
For example:
.header {
height: 50px !important;
}
would set the header height to 50 pixels
Keep in mind that reducing the header size too much may impact the overall design balance. Test different settings to find the right size that works with your website's layout and content.
By following these steps, you can easily reduce your Squarespace website's header height to create more vertical space for your main content.
