- Members-only code: you need an active Will's Toolkit subscription to see and copy it
- Needs a Squarespace plan that allows custom code
- A styling snippet rather than a configurable plugin, so changes beyond the design shown mean editing CSS
Overview
Button Flip - Horizontal is a button snippet from Will's Toolkit that flips a Squarespace button around its vertical axis on hover to reveal a second label. In Will's animated preview a "Get in touch" button turns sideways and comes back reading "Let's go!", then flips back when the cursor leaves.
What you get
- CSS and code for a horizontal 3D flip on button hover
- A second label revealed on the back of the button
- Access to the full Will's Toolkit Code Catalog with membership
Who it suits
Sites that want a playful call to action without a full animation library: creative studios, event and hospitality brands, personal brands. Best used on one or two key buttons rather than every button on the page.
Honest limits
- Members-only code: you need an active Will's Toolkit subscription to see and copy it
- Needs a Squarespace plan that allows custom code
- A styling snippet rather than a configurable plugin, so changes beyond the design shown mean editing CSS
- Hover effects are mostly a desktop experience; touch screens show the front label

It is a small, memorable touch for a key call to action. Like any hover effect it is mainly a desktop experience, and it works best used sparingly. A vertical variation is also in the Toolkit.
It is part of Will's Toolkit, Will Myers' membership for Squarespace designers, rather than a one-off purchase. Membership costs $15 a month or $150 a year and unlocks the full Code Catalog of more than 100 snippets, the Toolkit browser extension, the Robo-Will AI assistant, a Slack community and 20 per cent off Will's paid plugins.
The honest caveats: the code is members only, it needs a Squarespace plan that allows custom code, and as a styling snippet it does one job well rather than offering a settings panel. Anything beyond the design shown means editing the CSS yourself.
