Pull quotes can highlight important text on Squarespace's classic editor by wrapping one text block inside another. This creates visual interest and breaks up long content sections.

To create a pull quote:

  1. Add a new text block with your quote text
  2. Format the text using paragraph styles or headings to make it stand out
  3. Hover over the block edge until you see a hand icon
  4. Drag and drop the block into another text block where you want it to appear

When positioning your quote, look for the gray guide box showing where the block will be placed:

To style your pull quote:

For Version 7.1:

  • Open Site Styles
  • Click Fonts to modify typography
  • Click Colors to change the color scheme
  • Save your changes

For Version 7.0:

  • Go to the Site panel
  • Click Design in Site Styles
  • Adjust the style settings for your quote format

You can float any block type into text this way, including images, to create visual interest and break up long content sections.

Common uses for pull quotes include:

  • Highlighting key business information
  • Featuring interview excerpts
  • Showcasing customer testimonials

Remember that using header formatting for pull quotes can affect SEO if the text contains important keywords.
