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

    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!

  3. studiofounded's post in I've been told my site is overwhelming - do you agree with the feedback I've been given? was marked as the answer   
    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!

    Hi there!
    It's a great site, the design is very sleek and clean, and it loads quickly. You could add some of your amazing testimonials to the home page; social proof is an excellent tool for capturing attention.  The blog post title text is a little hard to read, I recommend adding more contrast. I also recommend adding a Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. It's often a legal requirement, but it also helps a site to look professional and trustworthy.  — Hannah

    Hi!
    Not all web speed test tools give accurate results for Squarespace. I can't speak for the Hubspot tool as I haven't used it, but GTMetrix usually works well for Squarespace. 
    Taking a quick look, your site ranks an A overall and has good performance. The heaviest part is your JS, so perhaps trim that down if possible, and a few images could also be made a little smaller. You have a few broken links, and I recommend running them through a broken link checker so you can find out where they are and adjust them.
    What kind of page requests do you see? Some initial steps you can take are to double-check your SSL certificate is installed correctly, and follow these steps to set up 301 redirects to send visitors to correct pages. 
    I recommend making these changes, then retest your site and evaluate if more changes are needed 🙂
    Let me know how that goes!
