Looping Summary Block Carousel

Code Toolkit
Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

A summary block that displays blog posts or collection items in a smooth, looping carousel. Visitors can swipe through items or use navigation arrows, and the carousel loops endlessly for seamless browsing.

The Problem It Solves

Squarespace's standard summary blocks display items in a static grid or list. There's no native carousel option that loops continuously. This technique transforms your summary block into an interactive, looping slider with proper navigation controls.

Perfect For

Blog post showcases, Featured articles, Portfolio highlights, Product spotlights, Testimonial displays

What Makes This Different

This technique uses Swiper.js to convert a standard summary block into a professional carousel. It includes navigation arrows, pagination dots, and supports both touch swipe and keyboard navigation. The carousel loops infinitely and handles image loading gracefully so everything displays smoothly.
