  1. Thanks
    DanBLBCo reacted to creedon in One column grid for specific portfolio page   
    Assuming you are using one of the Grid (Overlay or Simple) Layouts for your Others Page, put the following in Design > Custom CSS. If you use a Layout other than one of the grids then this code won't work.
    /* 100% (auto) */ /*insert Page collection id here]*/ [class^="portfolio-grid-"] {   grid-template-columns: auto;      } Replace /*insert Page collection id here*/ with the collection id for your Others Page.
    Do you know how to find the collection id for a Page? If not, let us know and we can help you.
    If you don't want the column to take up the whole page following are some variations.
    /* 75% */ /*insert Page collection id here]*/ [class^="portfolio-grid-"] {   grid-template-columns: repeat(8,auto);      } /*insert Page collection id here]*/ [class^="portfolio-grid-"] .grid-item {   grid-column: 2 / 8;      }  
    /* 50% */ /*insert Page collection id here]*/ [class^="portfolio-grid-"] {   grid-template-columns: repeat(4, auto);      } /*insert Page collection id here]*/ [class^="portfolio-grid-"] .grid-item {   grid-column: 2 / 4;      } If you have the business plan then you can put the CSS in Page Settings > Advanced > PAGE HEADER CODE INJECTION.
     
    <style>   /* 100% (auto) */      [class^="portfolio-grid-"] {        grid-template-columns: auto;          }        </style> It is basically the same as above just wrapped in a style tag and minus the collection id.
    The CSS uses CSS3 substring matching attribute selectors.
    Let us know how it goes.

    DanBLBCo got a reaction from instantpostlikes in What advice would you give to someone just starting out on personal branding?   
    Wally Ollins writes in his book the brand handbook;
    “A brand is simply an organisation, or a product, or service with a personality.”
    Any great personality is based upon having a solid understanding of yourself. It’s no different for a brand.
    Much like us, a brands personality is formed by defining why it exists, what tribe it belongs to and what it believes in; purpose, customer and values. 
    We carry out brand strategy to discover and define these questions first, as they will act as our cornerstones for design decisions made going forwards.
    But it’s not enough to just know who we are, as environment also sculpts personality. We need to know our customers problems and what other brands are trying to solve them. 
    Where we sit amongst the competition and where we want to be. Thorough market research ensures that the personality we are defining is unique, will achieve the goals of the business and most importantly, will make our customers lives easier.


    If you’re serious about building a brand, you should be able to answer the questions I’ve talked about. If you can’t, and you’re investing in your brand currently, take a step back and think about the foundations that you are trying to build on. You might save yourself a lot of time in the long run.

    DanBLBCo got a reaction from Jo_SQSP in What are your best practices for email marketing?   
    You’re right, spend some time on the email title, it will decide if it’s even opened or not.
    keep it short and sweet, people don’t spend a lot of time reading emails, you should be aiming to link them to something.
    intrigue your customer, use great imagery, and again keep word count low.
    You should be able to concisely answer why you’re sending the email and how you are helping your customer- is it really helpful?
    Respect your customers time, and never try to trick them. Be honest and upfront about everything.
    Decide on your tone of voice, I’ve posted about this on my IG;
