How to add a button to a Squarespace header

Adding a button to a header on a Squarespace website is a great way to provide a strong CTA to users. 

Common header button’s include “Call us now”, “Book an appointment” or “Contact us”, to help prompt users to take an action. 

The majority of Squarespace templates don’t come with a header button as default however. This often leads people to think they’ll have to do without one, potentially meaning they will miss out on valuable leads.

What many people don’t realise is there is in fact a super simple way to add a button to your header, even if it doesn’t appear within your chosen template.
