Online Status Indicator Animation

Code Toolkit
Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

A subtle, pulsing green dot that signals "online" or "available" status—the same visual cue used by Slack, Teams, and modern SaaS apps. It continuously animates with a professional fade effect.

The Problem It Solves

Squarespace doesn't have native status indicators. When you want to show availability, live status, or active states, you're stuck with static icons. This technique brings dynamic, attention-grabbing indicators without overwhelming the design.

Perfect For

Status pages, Contact sections, Live chat indicators, Service availability displays, Team member online status

What Makes This Different

This creates a smoothly pulsing animation that continuously fades between fully visible and partially transparent. The gentle rhythm draws attention without being distracting, giving your site that polished app-like feel that visitors recognize from their favorite tools.
