- 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 - Stacked is a Header and Nav snippet from Will's Toolkit that places an icon above each main navigation label in a Squarespace header. Will's preview shows Products, Travel Planning and About Us as compact icon-over-label items, similar to an app tab bar.
What you get
- Code that adds an icon above each main navigation link
- Labels set smaller beneath the icons
- Access to the full Will's Toolkit Code Catalog with membership
Who it suits
Sites that want an app-like, compact header with a few top-level pages, for example travel, hospitality and local service businesses.
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.

Snippets are copy and paste code added to your site. Will's catalogue lists it under Header & Nav, last updated 4/30/2025.

It works best with three to five short menu items. Icons are chosen in the code, so plan them up front. An inline variation that places icons beside the text 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.
