Code Toolkit
Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

A minimal carousel in Squarespace with numbered counters, grayscale inactive images, and scaled focus effect on the active slide.

The Problem It Solves

Default list carousels show all items equally. This technique creates visual hierarchy by scaling, coloring, and numbering slides to draw attention to the active item.

Perfect For

Portfolio highlights, Service showcases, Team introductions, Featured projects, Client testimonials.

What Makes This Different

Adds automatic sequential numbering to each slide. Scaling and grayscale effects differentiate active from inactive items. Custom arrow icons replace default navigation.
