Add a Flipped Mirror Hover Effect to Hyperlinks in Squarespace 7.1

Want to make your website links stand out in a unique and interactive way? The Flipped Mirror Hyperlink effect adds a cool mirrored animation on hover—instantly making your links more engaging and visually appealing.

This simple but stylish trick uses lightweight CSS and is fully compatible with Squarespace 7.1.


Why Use a Mirrored Hover Effect?

This effect flips your link text horizontally when hovered—like a mirror reflection. Here’s why it works well:

  • Grabs user attention with unexpected movement

  • Perfect for modern, artistic, or portfolio-based sites

  • Adds subtle animation without slowing down your site

  • Super easy to install and customize


How to Apply the Flipped Hyperlink Effect

Just copy and paste the CSS below into Design > Custom CSS in your Squarespace dashboard:

css
// FLIPPED MIRROR HYPERLINKS TEXT - GHOSTPLUGINS.COM p a:hover { -moz-transform: scale(-1, 1); -o-transform: scale(-1, 1); -webkit-transform: scale(-1, 1); transform: scale(-1, 1); }

Customization Options

This effect flips all hyperlink text within paragraph blocks (p a). You can:

  • Change the scale direction to flip vertically instead (scale(1, -1))

  • Apply it to all links by targeting a:hover globally

  • Add transition styling for smoother movement

💡 Advanced: Add a smooth transition by appending this:

css
transition: transform 0.3s ease-in-out;

Final Thoughts

If you're building a creative, fun, or interactive Squarespace site, the Flipped Mirror Hyperlink effect is a small but striking way to stand out. It’s easy to implement, requires no plugins, and can instantly give your site a unique visual edge.
