How to resize the Newsletter block
In this tutorial, you will learn how to resize the newsletter block on your Squarespace website. This tutorial is specifically designed for Squarespace 7.1.
The default Squarespace newsletter block is a versatile tool for collecting email sign-ups, but its sizing can sometimes present challenges. By default, the block’s proportions are quite large, which may feel cumbersome when integrated into compact spaces or minimalist designs. This can disrupt the visual flow of your page, making it feel cluttered or misaligned with your overall design aesthetic.
Additionally, without customisation, the default size can overshadow other elements on the page or create unnecessary whitespace, which may distract from the user experience.
Advantages of Resizing the Newsletter Block
To address these issues, resizing the newsletter block offers several benefits:
Streamlined Appearance: A resized block fits seamlessly into tighter layouts, creating a polished and cohesive design.
Enhanced Responsiveness: Smaller blocks adapt better to mobile views, ensuring your sign-up form looks great across devices.
Improved Visual Hierarchy: By resizing, you can balance the prominence of the newsletter block relative to other page elements, keeping the focus where it belongs.
Better Alignment with Brand Style: Custom sizing lets you maintain consistency with your brand’s design language, ensuring the block integrates perfectly into your site.
Complexity: Easy
Step 1

Step 2

Conclusion
Customising the size of your Squarespace newsletter block is a small yet impactful adjustment that can significantly enhance the overall design and functionality of your site. By resizing, you can ensure your newsletter block not only fits seamlessly into your layout but also complements your brand’s aesthetic. With a few tweaks, you can create a visually appealing and user-friendly sign-up section that encourages more visitors to subscribe.
