  1. You can move the domain from the landing page to your site. This is the guide to do so:

    Move a Squarespace domain

    If we host your domain, use the steps and information in this section to move your domain to a different site.

    Before you begin, ensure that your Squarespace domain meets these requirements:

    To move your domain from one site to another, or to move a parked domain to a website:

    1. Open the Domains panel of the site you'd like to move the domain to.
    2. Click Use a domain I own.
    3. Type in your domain name.
    4. Click Move domain.
    5. The next screen displays a thumbnail image from the website or parking page you're moving the domain from and a thumbnail from the website you're moving the domain to. If everything looks correct, click Confirm to complete the move.
    6. If you see a "There are no eligible sites to transfer a domain to on this account" message after clicking Move domain, you don’t have another site with an eligible website, domain, or Google Workspace subscription on your account. Review your sites in your account dashboard and upgrade your trial site or switch from your Mobile Start plan to a standard plan, if needed, before moving the domain.

    Your domain should connect to the new site within 24-72 hours. After moving your domain, you can cancel service or change the billing plan for your other site, if needed. If you have a Google Workspace subscription attached to your domain, ensure it meets the requirements to move automatically.

  2. It is a bit finicky if you view it as the owner, not as a visitor.

    Here is one from Inside the Square that may work a bit better. Place this snippet in a markdown block on any page you want the button but not in the footer. You can change the size to small, medium, or large.

    <a href="#page" class="sqs-block-button-element--large sqs-block-button-element" id="back-to-top">Back To Top</a>

    Add this to custom CSS you can change the position and the opacity to fit your style; 

    #back-to-top{ position: fixed!important; bottom: 0!important; right: 0!important; z-index:1!important; opacity: .5 }

  3. This is a simple scrolling back to the top button. It doesn't require a business plan to work. Put this code in a markdown block in the footer of your site, it will work for all pages.

    <p><a href="#top" class="t-top"><span class="arrow"></span>Top</a>
    <style>
      /* Back to Top */  
    .t-top {
        font-weight: 500;
        letter-spacing: 2px;
        font-size: 15px;
        text-transform: lowercase;
        text-align: center;
        line-height: 1.6;
        padding-left: 2px;
        padding-top: 4px;
        position: fixed;
        right: 25px;
        bottom: 60px;
        width: 40px;
        height: 40px;
        z-index: 999;
        background-color: transparent;
        color: #000;
      filter: drop-shadow(8px 8px 8px #666666)
    }
    .t-top .arrow:before {
          font-family: 'squarespace-ui-font';
        font-style: normal;
        font-weight: 300;
        font-size: 20px;
        line-height: 1;
        -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
        content: "\e02d";
        text-align: center;
        display: block;
        vertical-align: middle;
        transform: rotate(-90deg);
        cursor: pointer;
        margin-left: -4px;
      filter: drop-shadow(8px 8px 8px #666666)
    }
    .t-top .arrow {display:inline;}
    </style></p>

  4. Squarespace is the third party to Nextdoor, but the opposite to Squarespace analytics. This info breaks it down. 

    Traffic sources and channels

    When someone visits your site, the traffic source is where that visitor came from, like a link on another site, an email campaign, or a search engine results page. We group these sources into general channels–like Direct, Social, and Email–to help you understand how different channels are performing.

    If you don’t have traffic from a channel, it won’t show. For example, if no visits came from sources we categorize as Display ads, Display ads won’t show in the panel.

    Note

     

    SSL settings can impact traffic source data. Learn more.

    Direct

    Direct represents when someone typed your URL directly into their browser, rather than coming to your site from another page. Links opened in a new window also count as Direct.

    If this number appears inflated, it could be because some of those visits are from you visiting your site without logging in. When you're logged in, your activity doesn’t count toward visits. However, when you're logged out, we have no way to identify that the visit is you, so those visits can count as Direct, or as a different source if you clicked to your site from somewhere else without logging in, like your Facebook page. You can read about how to avoid this in Hiding your activity from Squarespace analytics.

    Display ads

    On Business, Commerce, Professional, and Premium plans, Display ads represents traffic coming from display ads on other sites.

    On Personal plans, traffic from display ads is included in the Paid channel.

    Email

    Email represents traffic from email marketing campaigns.

    For Squarespace Email Campaigns, if your website is on a Commerce, Professional, and Premium plan, you can review detailed sales information in your site's analytics, such as revenue generated by each campaign. More analytics information displays in the Email Campaigns dashboard.

    For Mailchimp, you can compare traffic from forms and campaigns. Traffic from forms represents visitors who followed a link to your site at the end of a mailing list signup form. Traffic from campaigns represents visitors who followed a link to your site from an email. To review specific campaign names, connect Mailchimp to a form or newsletter block. To learn more, visit Using Mailchimp with Squarespace.

    Note

    To attribute traffic from a Mailchimp campaign to the Email channel, check E-commerce link tracking when you set up the campaign in Mailchimp. Otherwise, traffic from the campaign is considered Direct.

    Search

    The Search channel represents organic traffic from Google and other search engines.

    Social

    Social represents traffic to your site from social media platforms like Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and X, formerly known as Twitter. 

    Tip

    Squarespace has tools to help you drive traffic to your site from social media. Use built-in tools like pushing content, share buttons, and Pinterest save buttons to promote share content and products on social.

    Paid

    On Personal plans, this channel represents traffic from display ads on other sites or social media platforms, and paid searches in Google and other search engines.

    Paid search

    On Commerce, Professional, and Premium plans, the Paid search channel represents paid searches in Google and other search engines.

    On Personal plans, traffic from paid searches is included in the Paid channel.

    Paid social

    On Commerce, Professional, and Premium plans, the Paid social channel represents paid advertisements on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and X.

    Referral

    Referral represents websites and blogs that link to your content that don’t fit under other channels.

    Tor exit nodes

    The Tor_exit_nodes source represents traffic from an anonymous source, such as a VPN or an anonymous browser.

    Overview graph

    The graph appears differently depending on where you're reviewing your analytics.

    COMPUTER
    SQUARESPACE APP
     

    The line graph at the top of the panel shows trends over time. Each line on the graph represents a different channel like Direct, Social, or Email. Hover over any point to review data per channel for a time frame.

    Click the Daily drop-down menu to change the time scale. Time scale options depend on the number of available data points.

  5. Were you in configuration when you needed to refresh the page or viewing as a visitor?  Configuration doesn't always show changes to design as fast as viewing it. I use two screens, signed in on one and not on the other, that way I can see exactly what a visitor to my site sees as soon as I hit save. 

    Your images loaded the second your site came up on my screen.  Quite the beautiful place you are showing. 

  6. To change headings in Summary blocks you change the font for paragraphs in site styles. 
    This changes the title and the excerpt text. 

    If you want to change just the title, and not the excerpt I use this code on my site.

    .summary-title-link {
        font-family: proxima-nova, serif;
        font-size: 18px;
    }

  7. Website refund policy

    Standard plans

    We automatically issue a full refund for annual website subscriptions canceled within 14 days of purchase.

    We don’t offer refunds for:

  8. Traffic to your old domain will not automatically move to your new one, not through the search engines anyway unless you keep it pointed to your site. You can make your new domain the primary domain and it will show up in the browser bar of anyone who visits, the old one will change to the new one,  and the search engines will eventually catch on to the change. At some point in the future, you should be able to deactivate the original domain if you find that desirable. 

  9. After looking at the site, I think the testimony page is a standard page with text blocks and image blocks. Each image block shares the same link as the more button under the text which is a link to the full-sized video on its own page. I based that on the URL of each full-sized video. I believe I can duplicate the summary block-like item and link a read-more button to a video on a Squarespace site.
