There is a plethora of amazing effects that anyone familiar with CSS and/or Javascript can implement on a customized website. However, because the HTML is already written for you when you’re building with Squarespace, it can be difficult to add custom effects using a combination of HTML, CSS and Javascript, but it can actually be quite easy.

In this article, I’m going to show you how you can force the mobile navigation to show all the time, even when viewing on desktop browsers like I have on this website. It’s really quite simple!
