Mobile Menu Icon

The icons used for a mobile menu in a Squarespace website template are designed with simplicity and clarity to ensure intuitive navigation. Typically, a hamburger icon—three horizontal lines—signals the menu toggle, making it immediately recognizable to users. When activated, the icon often transitions to a close symbol, such as an “X,” clearly indicating how to exit the menu. These icons maintain a minimalist style to avoid distraction, aligning with the overall design philosophy of promoting focus and a seamless user experience on mobile devices.

 

To edit or update the mobile menu icon in Squarespace is very easy, but kind of hidden. Here is the process in three simple steps:

  1. Enter Edit Mode and click the Mobile Preview

  2. Hover over the mobile header and Click Edit Header

  3. Click on Menu Icon and select Edit Design
