Why Change the FAQ Description Color?
Imagine this: your FAQ page feels a little… blah. The answers don’t grab attention because the text blends in. Changing the color of your FAQ descriptions can give them some personality and make your website truly stand out. It’s a small change with big impact!
So, What Exactly Do You Need?
First, you’ll need to know a tiny bit about using custom CSS in Squarespace. Don’t worry—no coding degree required! If you can copy, paste, and tweak a little, you’re good to go.

(or whatever size you prefer).
Tips for Picking the Right Color
Choosing the perfect color is key! Here are some tips:
- Match Your Brand: Use colors that align with your logo or overall website theme.
- Keep It Readable: Bright colors are fun but make sure they’re easy to read against your background.
- Test Multiple Options: Play around with different hues until it feels just right.
Remember, this page is all about improving clarity. Don’t pick colors that are too wild or distracting. Your visitors will thank you!
What if Something Goes Wrong?
Don’t panic. If your FAQ descriptions aren’t showing the way they should, here are a few troubleshooting tips:
