- 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
Header Icons - Inline is a Header and Nav snippet from Will's Toolkit that places a small icon to the left of each main navigation link in a Squarespace header. Will's preview shows links such as Products, Travel Planning Services and About Us, each with a matching line icon sitting on the same line as the text.
What you get
- Code that adds an icon beside each main navigation link
- Icons aligned inline with the link text
- Access to the full Will's Toolkit Code Catalog with membership
Who it suits
Sites with a handful of top-level pages where icons help visitors scan the menu, such as travel, hospitality and service businesses. It works best with short, clear navigation.
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
- Icons are set in the code, so changing them means editing the snippet
How it is delivered
This snippet sits in the Code Catalog of Will's Toolkit, Will Myers' membership for Squarespace designers, and is marked members only.

It suits short menus with clear page names. Choosing and changing icons happens in the code, so plan the icon set up front. A stacked variation that puts icons above the labels 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.
