Customizing the Lock Screen
Did you know the Password Lock Screen can be customized? This is a great way to create a branded lock screen for your clients!
Why style it? Say youâre working on a website but it isnât ready and you havenât published it yet. BUT you have the fancy custom domain connected to your Squarespace account and you want people to see something when they visit the URL so they know theyâre at the right place (i.e. it matches those gold foil business cards you spent a small fortune on). With the lock screen customization features, you can add a logo image, a background image and stylized text (e.g. a message like âWebsite coming soonâ or âSite under constructionâ or âHold your horses my website is almost doneâ etc.). The pageâs main function is still to access the website via a password, but you can turn it into a fun landing page to build excitement while youâre in the process of creating website magic.
Start by creating a site-wide password. Here is a step-by-step on how to do so!
After youâve set your site-wide password, go to Design > Lock Screen to customize:
Layout: Select a layout
Branding & Text: Add logo, headline, body text and lock
Media: Add a background image or video
Style: Adjust fonts, colors and sizes
