supersizesocial Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Site URL: https://www.supersizesocial.com/ SquareSpace navigation menus can be very limited especially when you require a drop down menu! I really need some help customising mine, if anyone can provide me with a custom code or any kind of solution that would be so awesome. Willing to pay a one off fee for a solution that I can play around with and customise myself, which creates a final code for me that I can add to the website. Here is my website: https://www.supersizesocial.com/ If you hover your mouse over the 'instagram services' and 'social media marketing' drop downs to see how it currently looks. I'm sure you'll agree with me that it's very tacky and basic! Here are the customisations I would like to make: - I would like a hover effect for the entire navigation bar and for the options in the drop down. Just a simple effect that makes the text faded or the background space behind the text faded. This would make the navigation bar a bit more dynamic. - The space around each option in the drop down menu is very small and the options are cramped together too much. No way of increasing this space. - The plane white drop down box is very boring and tacky. Some colour around the edge or at the top would be great. Also a shadow effect and / or transparency effect would work well. Also, rounded corners would be nice. - This plane white space is actually too big, if you see in the 'social media marketing' drop down there is too much space on the left of the text. - Some icons next to each option would be amazing! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment

supersizesocial Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 Okay great! Think I'm learning more how this works now thanks so much. The only other thing I'd really like to do now is to have icons for each one. Each icon will be the colour of the 'get started' button so will need to use exact colour code. Each icon will need to be a different symbol related to the service. Are you able to do that? Might be easier if I can change the symbols myself but not sure how it could work. Thanks so much for your help really appreciate this. Link to comment

supersizesocial Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 amazing! This is what I've got now, have put my own icons. /* Instagram Power Likes */ .header-nav-folder-item [href="/powerlikes"]:before { content: ""; background-image: url(https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fb695a56248b6302676b78d/t/6113b458a1c3e55c3d012a73/1628681304615/Rocket+icon.png); background-size: contain; width: 15px; height: 15px; display: inline-block; margin-right: 5px; } /* Instagram PowerComments */ .header-nav-folder-item [href="/powercomments"]:before { content: ""; background-image: url(https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fb695a56248b6302676b78d/t/6113b4622aea584297d577c7/1628681314972/Comments+Icon.png); background-size: contain; width: 15px; height: 15px; display: inline-block; margin-right: 5px; } /* Instagram PowerStories */ .header-nav-folder-item [href="/powerstories"]:before { content: ""; background-image: url(https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fb695a56248b6302676b78d/t/6113b4697eb41e137050e495/1628681322043/Powerstories+Icon.png); background-size: contain; width: 15px; height: 15px; display: inline-block; margin-right: 5px; } /* Instagram Giveaway Growth */ .header-nav-folder-item [href="/instagram-growth"]:before { content: ""; background-image: url(https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fb695a56248b6302676b78d/t/6113b45b47dc61687594d983/1628681308023/Promotion+Icon.png); background-size: contain; width: 18px; height: 15px; display: inline-block; margin-right: 5px; } /* Content Creation */ .header-nav-folder-item [href="/social-media-management"]:before { content: ""; background-image: url(https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fb695a56248b6302676b78d/t/6113b466fd52fd239ac0c13c/1628681318757/Content+Creation+icon.png); background-size: contain; width: 18px; height: 15px; display: inline-block; margin-right: 5px; } /* Blue Badge */ .header-nav-folder-item [href="/blue-badge"]:before { content: ""; background-image: url(https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fb695a56248b6302676b78d/t/6113b45f9f149c7edca64961/1628681311546/blue+badge+icon.png); background-size: contain; width: 15px; height: 15px; display: inline-block; margin-right: 5px; } It's starting to really come together now thanks so much! A few more little tweaks and I'll be done I think! Is there a way to slightly lower the icons so they are more inline with the text? They are just a bit too high. If I do this then I think I can also make them a bit bigger as they'll have a bit more space. The last thing I really need to do is align each option in the drop down menu to the left, right now they are aligned to the right for some reason. Can't find a way to change this outside of using code. Think it'll look much better this way. Thank you so much once again! Link to comment
