How to Add a Tilted Hover Effect to Hyperlinks in Squarespace 7.1

Looking to make your links pop without using animations or extra code-heavy plugins? The Tilted Hyperlinks effect adds a playful, attention-grabbing tilt to your links when hovered over—perfect for modern, stylish Squarespace websites.

It’s a subtle but bold visual cue that shows users exactly where to click, while adding movement and creativity to your site design.

Why Use a Tilted Link Hover Effect?

Traditional links are great—but interactive effects like a slight tilt can:

• Boost engagement by drawing attention to clickable elements

• Make your content feel more dynamic and personalized

• Reinforce your brand’s style if you're aiming for a modern or creative look

This works beautifully in blog posts, portfolios, or text-heavy websites where link visibility matters.

How to Add the Tilted Link Effect

Paste the following code into your site’s Custom CSS area in Squarespace:

css
// TILTED HYPERLINKS TEXT - GHOSTPLUGINS.COM //

p a:hover {
  -moz-transform: rotate(-10deg);
  -o-transform: rotate(-10deg);
  -webkit-transform: rotate(-10deg);
  transform: rotate(-10deg);
  -webkit-transition: ease-in-out 0.1s !important;
  -moz-transition: ease-in-out 0.1s !important;
  -ms-transition: ease-in-out 0.1s !important;
  -o-transition: ease-in-out 0.1s !important;
  transition: ease-in-out 0.1s !important;
}

p a {
  -webkit-transition: ease-in-out 0.1s !important;
  -moz-transition: ease-in-out 0.1s !important;
  -ms-transition: ease-in-out 0.1s !important;
  -o-transition: ease-in-out 0.1s !important;
  transition: ease-in-out 0.1s !important;
}

Customization Options

You can modify the look to suit your branding:

• Tilt Angle: Change rotate(-10deg) to another degree for more or less tilt

• Transition Speed: Adjust 0.1s to make the effect faster or slower

• This only affects links inside <p> tags (paragraphs), but you can expand it by targeting other elements if needed

💡 Advanced Tip: Add a:hover globally or use a.button:hover if you want to tilt buttons too.
