Hi @CoorlasArchitecture! I love the clean, minimalist style. The site is slow to load — it looks like your site is weighed down by 27MB on the home page (ideally your page size should be around a maximum of 5MB). You can either remove some images or compress them. You can find your speed report here: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.coorlasarch.com/oUZC0dHK/ It doesn't look like you have Terms & Conditions, so I would consider adding those. Let me know if you have any questions! — Hannah

Hi! Did you ever find a way to achieve this? 🙂

Hi @norafateh, Please share your website URL so we can take a look! — Hannah Studio Founded

Hi @Abidali_90, You can use a separate shopping cart — for example, I use ThriveCart on my own Squarespace site to add extra features like an affiliate programme and a wider range of payment options. You can embed the Thrivecart shopping cart on a page in Squarespace, or add an external link to the cart. It isn't an integration with Squarespace's own checkout but might be an alternate option for you! — Hannah Studio Founded

@Aurora Yes — you can try this! .sqs-gallery-design-autogrid .summary-item:hover img{ transform: scale(1.2); transition: 1s ease-in-out; } .sqs-gallery-design-autogrid .summary-item img{ transition: 1s ease-in-out; }

Hi @Aurora There are a lot of possible hover effects (zoom, grayscale to color, rotate, etc.) To change the summary image brightness, you can paste this into the custom CSS panel and adjust the brightness value! .sqs-gallery-design-autogrid .summary-item:hover img{ filter: brightness(150%); } — Hannah Studio Founded

Hi @basianiez Glad the plugin links were helpful 😊 If you use 7.1, all the templates include the same features so you can choose any! — Hannah Studio Founded

Hi @Aurora, What effect would you like to add on hover? What type of summary block is it (grid, carousel, etc.)? Please share your site URL so we can take a look! — Hannah Studio Founded

Hi @IMP, Please share the page URL so we can take a look! — Hannah Studio Founded

Hi @basianiez, @WillMyers Split Screen Layout plugin will be perfect for your split layout (and yes, you can make make one side 'stick' in place while the other scrolls). Your example site looks like it uses a slide out mobile style navigation on desktop. I think this plugin would work for you! — Hannah Studio Founded

Hi @Sidra! It looks lovely! The only things I would note are: I can't seem to click the links in your footer (portfolio, email, etc). Add legal pages (Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions). The light brown text over the beige background doesn't have enough contrast so does not meet accessibility checks. Your images are quite large and are slowing the site down a little. I recommend resizing them for web and compressing further. Let me know if you have any questions! — Hannah Studio Founded

Hi @AdamJ So pleased it was helpful! Re. your mockup — totally possible, you can add a product block to a section above your products on the store page. P.S. I've been updating my own site today and know how much of a pain it can be to go back and forth on changes! If you'd like help with it I can clean up and simplify a lot of your site in a couple of hours. — Hannah Studio Founded

Hi @AdamJ It is quite text heavy, but I think some design tweaks would help. Home Overall, I would add more white space to give the design more breathing room. Remove the text overlay on the rotating image in the header section. It's busy and moves too quickly to easily be read. The second section (plans, numbers, images, etc.) could be broken into two rows (a 3x2 grid). Six steps within the "how it works" section feels overwhelming. Could you reduce the content to 3-4 steps? There are some gaps in the Case Studies section between the paragraph text and button. The header CTA totally depends on your main offer. Are products your primary offer, or do you want clients to book a call to discuss a project? About Break this information into two sections so the text feels less blocky. The first section could be more about the brand and what you offer, and the second section could be about the founders and people behind the brand. FAQ I would reduce the text size a little. Blog The posts and text feel quite close together. Can you add a little more white space? Products I am a little confused about your offer. If you had 1-3 products, using a store to sell services would be more user-friendly, but with so many products it's a little confusing what to buy, when to buy it, and how the process works. I think I would encourage customers to reach out to you so you can discuss options with them and send an invoice for the core product + add ons. If you don't want to invoice them, you can set up the store with just your core offer. After they purchase your core offer, you can redirect them to a hidden store page with the add-on products (tutorial here). Let me know if this all makes sense! — Hannah Studio Founded

Hi @jonnydeep0 Are you using Classic Editor or Fluid Engine? With Fluid Engine, you can edit mobile view separately. Otherwise, you may need: CSS to adjust elements A web designer who can best adjust your site elements to mobile To consider mobile-first design Broken links occur when you add a link then change the page URL. Just be mindful when updating your page URLs that you will need to also change any broken links. There isn't an easy or automatic ways to fix broken URL. Page speed issues can be due to things like image size, number of fonts, amount of code. Please share your URL so I can take a look! — Hannah Studio Founded

Hi @Ihab-Workplace! Visitors should be able to visit your site and immediately understand what you do. I recommend developing the home page with more copy to describe what you offer, your brand story, your unique selling points, your specific services, etc. This will also support your SEO and help you be found easier! I would definitely add more information about your offer. Exactly what services do you provide? What do costs/timeframes look like? Who do you work with? Who don't you work with? Do you work in a specific location or remotely worldwide? Lastly, I recommend adding the newsletter sign up to the home page so it's easy to find. Explain what subscribers will get from it — what value will your newsletter offer? You can incentive sign ups by offering a useful or exciting freebie in return for their email (for example, a 10-point guide on things business owners need to know about email security). Let me know if this helps! — Hannah Studio Founded

Hi @Rozzebud Please share your site URL so we can take a look! — Hannah Studio Founded

Hi @sauceboss It looks great! My only suggestions are: Add pages for your terms & conditions, shipping policies, refund policies, etc. This builds trust and credibility in your audience while legally protecting your business and customers. Perhaps move the blog out of the about folder so it's easier to find. I would be interested to see more about the process. How will the products be delivered? Do you just offer the products or do you install as well? How long does it take? Let me know if you have any questions! — Hannah Studio Founded

Hi @Houstonselects Are you still looking for feedback? — Hannah Studio Founded

@squarepaste This is so exciting! I'll be popping over to your website – great work! — Hannah Studio Founded

Hi @CamilleSuzanne Firstly, I love the vibe, imagery, and fresh color palette! Here are a few suggestions: On the home page, your calls to action (Workshops, Bar Services, Let's Talk) are images. This is problematic, both for SEO and for accessibility, as anyone with a visual impairment won't be able to read this text. I recommend switching them to text with some descriptive copy (why should they click?) and buttons to help direct visitors to the right places. Your home page is running very slowly as you have some pretty huge images (7.08MB of just images). You should aim for your entire page size to be 2-4MB. Be sure to compress and optimize all your images for web. I would move the about page further up your header so it isn't last on the list. The story behind a brand is so importance for truly connecting with your audience! I would add more about why you started the brand — what is it about teaching guests to make their own cocktails that motivates you? What problem are you solving for your audience? Add pages for your Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions, and cancellations/refunds. This will help build trust and credibility (and will protect you from legal issues). Let me know if you have any questions for me! — Hannah Studio Founded

Hi @Kris10w I LOVE the idea and it's coming together so well! Here are a few suggestions: Make the text in the first section of the home page a little smaller. On my screen, some of the text and buttons were cut off, so it wasn't immediately clear to me what you offer. Add your newsletter sign up to the home page! I was hoping you had a newsletter but it took me a long time to find it. Consider adding some opt-in content to incentivise sign ups. I couldn't see a Privacy Policy or Terms & Conditions on your site. I recommend adding them to build trust and credibility. It would be nice to see a little about the person behind the brand, which again builds a sense of trust in your audience. Your pricing page felt a little confusing as I was expecting to see the lowest tier, medium tier, then highest tier in order (but this might just be me!). Your website is very slow to load and the home page size is huge at 10.6MB. You should be aiming for 2-3MB. I hope this is helpful! Let me know if you have any questions! — Hannah Studio Founded

Hi @RemusI I think its coming along beautifully! I love that it's clean yet feels thoughtful. Here are some thoughts: Your newsletter should be more engaging. Let visitors know the kind of content you'll share and the value they'll gain from your emails. You can even add free opt-in content to incentivise sign ups. Add pages for your Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions to build trust and credibility and meet legal obligations. Your Collections page feels a little confusing. At the moment, I'm not sure if these are products for currently sale. If so, how do I buy them? The only CTA I can see here is "discuss a project with us." Perhaps add a buy button or details on how your products can be purchased. I recommend posting your shipping and returns policies publicly to build trust. Your customer shouldn't need to email you to learn about your policies. Make it easy to contact you! I can see buttons on the home page that link to a contact form, but a separate Contact page in the header will make it easier for visitors to quickly find a way to reach out. Your site speed is good but can be improved – it looks like you have some pretty large images that can definitely be reduced in size and optimized for web. Let me know if you have any questions! — Hannah Studio Founded

Yes, it should be clearly visible on every page of your site, so the footer is a great option! 🙂 — HannahStudio Founded

Hi @Rachillustrates I think this is looking lovely, so clean and easy to navigate! The only thing I can suggest is to add Terms & Conditions and things like Returns Policies and Shipping Policies for your shop. It helps your store to appear more professional and trustworthy! It looks like you are UK-based so you also need to be aware of GDPR and display things like a Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy. I hope that's all clear — let me know if you have any questions! — Hannah Studio Founded

Hi @Gert-Jan, From the landing page, it isn't clear what the site is, or how to access it. I clicked around on the page until I entered the site, but I recommend a button that says something like "enter site", or removing the landing page as I'm not sure it's adding value. Once inside the site, I recommend making the grey text darker as it's difficult to read. The fade in style on the text is visually interesting, but it does make the content difficult to read and digest. I think a few images would help to break up the text and add more visual appeal! Otherwise, the site is clean and I like the color scheme. I hope that's all clear — let me know if you have any questions! — Hannah Studio Founded
