How to Add a Floating Mini Announcement Bar in Squarespace 7.1

Want your announcement message to stand out without taking over your entire header? With a quick CSS snippet, you can turn the default Squarespace announcement bar into a mini floating bar that sticks to the bottom corner of your website.

This design adds a subtle, professional touch—perfect for showcasing sales, promos, updates, or contact links—without interrupting your layout.

What Is a Mini Floating Announcement Bar?

Unlike the traditional full-width announcement bar at the top of your site, a mini announcement bar:

• Floats in a corner of your site (usually bottom-right or bottom-left)

• Is fixed in position as users scroll

• Offers a clean, compact alternative that still grabs attention

• Is fully customizable in terms of padding, margin, radius, and more

How to Add It to Your Site

To create a mini announcement bar on your Squarespace 7.1 site, paste the following code into your Custom CSS panel:

css
// ANNOUNCEMENT BAR - MINI CORNER - GHOSTPLUGINS.COM //

.sqs-announcement-bar, .header .sqs-announcement-bar-dropzone  {
  padding: 5px;
  margin: 20px;
  border-radius: 5px;
  bottom: 0px;
  width: auto !important;
  z-index: 3 !important;
  position: fixed;
  top: initial !important;
  display: flex;
}

.sqs-announcement-bar-hidden {
  display: none !important;
}

Customization Options

You can easily modify the styling to match your brand or preference:

• Padding: Adjust the inside spacing with padding: 5px;

• Margin: Control the spacing from the edge of the screen using margin: 20px;

• Border Radius: Round the corners with border-radius: 5px;

• Colors & Fonts: Use Squarespace’s built-in style settings to change the background, text, and link styles

💡 Want the bar to appear in the bottom left corner instead of right? Just add left: 0; and remove right: if present.
