Important update: Squarespace made changes to the program menu in May 2025. If your menu looks different than the video, press the / key to open the program search and search for Custom CSS to navigate there directly.

Here are the codes from this tutorial; both the main code and the creative one! If you use additional properties to change the style, make sure you update the values to match your own unique website.
