Squarespace
A logo slider for Squarespace, in one Code block.
Squarespace's own gallery blocks hold logos but do not scroll them. This is a Code block with one iframe: a strip that moves, arched rows, a carousel with arrows or a grid, with its own settings for phones.
The marks and videos in these examples are well known ones shown as samples, so the widget is demonstrated at a realistic size. They are their owners' and imply nothing about them.
Three steps
Putting it on the page
1. Build it
Upload the logos, pick the layout, set colors and spacing.
2. Copy one line
The editor gives you a single iframe tag.
3. Add a Code block
Edit the page, add a block, Code, paste the tag, save. It fills the block's width.
The honest comparison
Against a static logo row
A row of grey logos is what most Squarespace sites settle for.
What a static row costs you
Nothing to maintain, and nothing that catches the eye either. Adding motion by hand means custom CSS in the site settings and an animation that does not know about phones.
What this costs you
One iframe on the page that shows it. It loads after your content, from a CDN, in its own frame, so it cannot block your page from rendering and cannot reach into your site. Nothing to update. Views are never counted or capped on any plan.
The trade is that the widget lives on our servers rather than yours, and it needs a network connection to appear.
Where it goes
Places it fits
Home page
A 'trusted by' strip between sections.
About page
Partners and press.
Footer
A Code block in the footer puts it on every page.
Business plan and up
Code blocks are available on Business and Commerce plans, where Squarespace allows code.
Fluid Engine
Drop the Code block on the grid and size it; the widget fits.
Any template
Nothing is added to your site's CSS, so no template is upset by it.
Questions
Asked often
Can I add a scrolling logo slider to Squarespace?
Yes. Paste one iframe tag into a Code block. It scrolls, arches or steps, whichever layout you chose, and keeps separate settings for phones.
Which Squarespace plan do I need?
Code blocks are on Business and Commerce plans, which is where Squarespace permits custom code on pages.
Will it change my template's styles?
No. The widget draws in its own frame and adds nothing to your site's CSS.
Is there a view limit?
No, on any plan including the free one. The widget is served from a CDN where views cost us nothing, so we do not meter them the way most widget services do.
What if I change it later?
Edit the widget in the DreamWidget editor and every page showing it updates. The embed points at the widget rather than carrying a copy, so the page is never touched again.
Does it work on phones?
Every design setting is kept separately for desktop, tablet and phone and previewed at that width, so the phone version is something you set, not something that happens to you.
