Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

Decorative text elements like kicker labels and inline buttons that use URL-based targeting. Apply special fonts, borders, and styling to specific text elements without adding custom classes.

The Problem It Solves

Squarespace doesn't let you add custom CSS classes to text. This technique uses link URLs as targeting hooks, allowing you to style specific text elements with decorative treatments like script fonts or pill-shaped button accents within larger headings.

Perfect For

Kicker labels, Inline accent buttons, Decorative headings, Category labels, Section dividers, Brand typography.

What Makes This Different

Targets links containing specific URL keywords (like 'decor-kicker' or 'decor-button'). The links act as styled text, not actual clickable links. This allows unlimited decorative text variations without JavaScript.
