This tutorial will show you how to create background text for sections in Squarespace 7.1 That’s text that will show up behind images and other text on your site, but in front of your section background color and/or images. A few important things to note before you copy and paste this into your own site:
+ This is specific for version 7.1; the only version with this type of section.
+ There is more than one way to do this! This is just one approach of many because code is super customizable.
+ Get creative with the font itself using some CSS! Change the color, make it bold, edit the font style… I want to encourage you to get creative here 🙂
Alrighty, that’s it for the good-to-know info! Steps and codes from the demo are below. If you need any help along the way, visit insidethesquare.co/code-help

Here is the main code from the tutorial. Be sure to change the content to the word/words you want to use, and adjust the bottom margin and font size for desktop (first part of the code) and mobile (the second part of the code)
#page .page-section .content-wrapper:before{
content:”sweet”; position:absolute; bottom:0; left:0; margin-bottom:-10%;font-size:300px; opacity:.1; z-index:0;}
@media only screen and (max-width:640px){
#page .page-section .content-wrapper:before{
font-size: 5rem; margin-bottom:-5px !important}}
Want to isolate one section at a time?
Instead of #page .page-section .content-wrapper… start your code like this example instead, changing the number (1) to the section you want to isolate, first (1) second (2) third (3), and so on.
#page .page-section:nth-child(1) .content-wrapper…
