How to create a trendy frosted glass menu in Squarespace

A frosted glass (glassmorphism) menu adds a blurred, transparent background effect to your Squarespace header, creating a modern floating look.

You’ll get a header that:

  • Blurs the content behind it
  • Has a semi-transparent background
  • Keeps menu text readable
  • Works great with image banners and hero sections

Example:

Squarespace now includes a built-in option to create this effect without any coding knowledge.
