@Katewood78 To rename the URL, click the gear icon on the page to get to the settings, then under General you'll see "URL Slug". Renaming it /resources instead of /resources-1 is better for SEO so that you will rank higher in search results. The top is definitely more clear. You could even do "Change the painful beliefs that run your life from the background of your mind." That's even more quickly digestible... you only have .05 seconds to grab someone's attention! I just realized you painted the bird artwork - it's lovely 🙂 Aw, thanks for that! I appreciate it. My venmo is @Jessica-Miller-1313 🙂

Hey @Zachery! You have absolutely stunning photos. They're gorgeous, and I love how you've designed the store, showcasing the images on the wall. Overall, you've got a good site. I would just make a few recommendations - - Remove "Home" from the top navigation. Your logo will take people back to the home page. - Either add your links in the footer, or add a "go to top" button so people can get back to the navigation links. - The biggest issue I see is the brand identity. After poking around on your site some, I realized that Kimberley is a location. But most people are going to think that Kimberley is the photographer. The confusing thing is when you scroll down the home page and see "Isaac Brawls is a freelance photographer". My first reaction was, "Wait - who is Isaac? I thought it was Kimberley". Then on the About page, there's no name. So is the About page about Isaac? Or someone else? I think you can clear all of this up by adding some text to the hero section of the home page. Just add a sentence that explains who you are and what you do... "Isaac Brawls: Professional aerial landscape photographer in Kimberley" - or something like that. This will also help SEO. Like I said, overall it's a good site. But definitely want to clear up the branding issue. Since you have an eCommerce store, here's a helpful article on turning clients into repeat clients once they've made a purchase.

Hey Bob! Great that you have a nonprofit. Here's some initial thoughts after giving it a quick scan - Increase the margins on the side so that there's more space. Right now everything feels a little cramped on the sides, plus it's hard to read text when it spans the entire width of a site. Crop the logo to just the text... or put the image to the side of the text. The square is just too big, plus it's almost touching the top of the page. Simplify the opening statement so that's more clear... it really needs to be 'dumbed down' a little so that people can quickly understand who you are and what you do without having to figure it out. This is the sentence I'm referring to - "Fostering entrepreneurship, economic empowerment, and cultural exchange for a prosperous world." Rework the footer so that it isn't quite so long... you could move the Donate button somewhere else and widen the Subscribe section so that it's horizontal and not vertical, or just move it to the section above the footer so that it has more space. I would also include all of your links in the footer as well. Most pages more color! Adding some color/images/etc will make it more visually appealing and keep people on the page longer. Also check out the empty space at the bottom (it's on most pages) Adding pictures to the "our team" page will help too. "Donate" is in the top navigation twice. When you're logged into the backend of your site, drag the "donate" page down to the "not linked" section. That will remove the extra link in the header, but still keep the button. The thing that gets people to donate are stories... including testimonials (both written and video form) from people who have been impacted from your organization will go a long way in moving the needle. Happy to talk about any of this further and give more suggestions. I work with nonprofits a lot to increase donations and get the word out. Jessica

Hey @MEKEnt - I'm not sure of the code that will move it... but maybe someone else can reply here with the code.

Here's some code... adjust the margin-top number to whatever you need. It will also help to resize the images so that they're all the same height. If you don't have them, you can download them from your current site, resize, then reupload onto your site. //push top image down on home page// @media only screen and (min-width:767px) { body.homepage #page section:first-child { margin-top: 90px; } }

Yes - drag the page down to the "not linked" section on the left to remove it from "main navigation". That will allow the page to still exist, but not show up in the top navigation 🙂

@GF1 What URL did you use for the sitemap? It should be https://www.brainpebblepoet.com/sitemap.xml

Hey @MEKEnt The arrows are actually centered on the image. But the reason they appear to not be centered is because the image goes all the way to the top of the page behind the navigation bar at the top. You can add some CSS to push the top image down so that it starts under the navigation bar... then the arrows will look correct.

It needs a logo! Once you add the logo, you can remove the "home" link in the top navigation because the logo will take people back to the homepage. Also I would put the Disclaimer page link in the footer... that will clean up the top navigation, make it easier for people to find stuff, and get rid of the lines wrapping in the navigation. The Book Appointment button - I would capitalize the word Appointment and give it a little more padding - it feels kind cramped around the text. Be sure the text at the top of the home page is super clear... this is the first and only opportunity you have to hook people when they land on your site. They'll decide in .05 seconds based on what they see whether or not to stick around or leave. It's a little confusing just from the top text what you offer... is this therapy? Or are you selling a course/techniques to accomplish it? Add some of the testimonials to the homepage. Just be consistent with the button capitalization... some words are capitalized, and some aren't. I would add a footer too... it's a good place to put the links (so people don't have to scroll back up), contact info, logo, social media logos, etc. If you don't want to add a footer, at least add a 'back to top' button. Most people don't read text, they skim it... if there's too much text to read, then people will skip it. Making the columns more narrow and breaking up the text (like the About Me paragraph) will make sure it's more likely to be read. The About Me section is good - you identified who you were 'before', explained the problem that led you to the solution (EFT/EC), and showed how it transformed you. Anything that shows a transformation (whether it's your story or a testimonial) is going to hook people and convert them into clients. They're landing on your website because they have a problem and are looking for you to solve it. Your own story helps to show that you've 'been there, done that' - and that you can help them too. There's a pretty big open space in the middle of the About page (love the dog pic!) I think you'll probably get a higher convert rate for booking appointments if people can book directly on your site. Calendly is free and is a good one to use. Services page - some of the paragraph text is bold and some is regular... ? Also some of the text on the image is hard to read. Resources page - rename the url to /resources There's lots of extra space in the sections on that page too. Replace the default favicon! Hope this is helpful... let me know if you have questions about any of it 🙂

Hey @Harley35! Here's some things that I noticed - - The font is verrry tiny! Site-wide, all of the font is a little hard to read (even the logo). - What about using the color in the logo (#74F6D7) for the site? The other color on the site is close but looks too different. - I would put "as seen in the knot" somewhere closer to the top of the page. That's a big deal, so show it off! - Put the links in the footer - Add a "shop now" button to the header navigation so people know what action they should take. - I would make the picture of you bigger. After all, you're the curator, the person behind the whole thing... people want to see you! Plus, building that personal connection will people will make them more likely to turn them into a customer. That's a good starting place... let me know if you have any questions 🙂

Hey @Katewood78! What's the pw? The site is private.

@jenlew Not sure I understand the problem... the resolution looks okay to me on the bubbles.

@ryanx Are you getting an error message when you try saving the credit card? Or what is it doing exactly? A screenshot or loom video will help.

Hey @Erez_Gordon! My initial thought from doing a quick scroll was that it's pretty text heavy. Most people don't read text - they skim it. So breaking it up into smaller chunks that's more visually appealing will get more eyes on it. Text that spans the entire width of the page is hard on our eyes. Here's my suggestion on the text: 1. Make sure it identifies the customer's problem and how you solve it 2. Use 2 contrasting fonts that work well together - one for headers and one for paragraphs. 3. Adjust margins so that it doesn't span the whole page. 4. Use varying font sizes. Here's a few other things that caught my eye - - There's a pause button at the bottom of the pricing section on the homepage.. not sure where the video is that it's playing - nothing shows up for me. - Testimonials will go a long way! - Use a contrasting color for the announcement bar at the top so that it stands out. - The top navigation is reeeally tall! There's too much white space above the links. The logo is what's causing it to be so tall. Shrinking the logo will help. - Take advantage of that top space.. instead of just saying "digital marketing", explain succinctly who you are and what you do. This is your first and only opportunity to hook someone. They'll decide based on this section if they stick around or leave. - Also it seems like a different picture will work better too... the image of the girls looks like it's a clothing store or something geared towards teenagers instead of a professional marketing company. - I thinking adding more color variation between the sections will be more visually appealing - which also helps to keep people around. - Add more Call to Action buttons - there should be one in the top navigation and all throughout the page. What action do you want people to take? Book an appointment? Schedule a call? People won't take action unless your site directs them to. - The Contact Us form at the bottom is overlapping the "reach out via..." sentence. Let me know if you have questions about anything 🙂

You're welcome! Gotta love an easy fix 🙂

Click the settings for the form, click Edit Form Fields, click the question, then Options, then Edit on the top right. Then you can click the red circle and remove it 🙂

Hi @MicaelaTorres - Click on the Newsletter block, scroll to the bottom and click Post Submit, then you can either change the message or redirect them to another page once they hit Submit.

@Street Hey! Here's a few things I noticed - - Add a call to action button in the top navigation (like, book an appointment) - Since images are what you do, I would scoot that first image up so that it's right under the top navigation. Right now, there's a lot of white space before anyone sees the image, and they have to scroll to see the whole thing. You can lay the header text over the image (or put a background behind it with some opacity if you need to). - Remove "made by squarespace" at the bottom. (more on this here) - Text on a page is your opportunity to grab the reader so that they don't go anywhere. Identifying their problem and how you solve it is the best way to "hook" them. Just looking at this second section on the homepage ("natural light brings...") - what does it mean to 'step up your game' or 'one step closer to your goals'. By actually writing out what those are, people will identify with it more strongly and be more likely to take action. - I really like your pictures. I would consider making them a little more narrow so that they don't take up so much space vertically. - Change the Pinterest save so that it only shows up on blog images instead of every image on your site. - Include your links in the footer and your logo. - The "OneFlare" part looks a bit cramped too me. I think some extra space will help it to 'breathe' better. - On the packages... Three options is a good sweet spot so that you don't overwhelm people with too many choices. - Really nice pictures in the portfolio section! - It's great that you have a blog so you can increase your organic traffic. They can really be filled out a lot more though! Around 2500 words is a good target for getting a higher ranking in Google. (Also - on the 'preparing for a model shoot' page - the capitalization isn't consistent on the sentence that comes after the numbered bullet points) - Be sure URL slugs fall into the SEO guidelines... /preparing-for-a-model-shoot instead of /blog-post-title-three-4r2we Overall, you have a really good product that's a very high quality... now it's just about having a website that matches the same level of professionalism as your service. Reworking some the text so that you talk more about problem/solutions is a good place to start. Let me know if you have questions about any of it 🙂

Can you send a link?

Adjust the last bit of code I gave you to this: @media screen and (max-width:767px) { .user-items-list-simple { margin-left: -5%; margin-right: -5%; } .list-item-content__title { padding-top: 40px; padding-bottom: 40px; } }

Expand the box so that it’s wider left and right. It will always keep the text within the box, so, if the box is tight around the letters, then when the screen is smaller, there’s no room for the letters to stay on one line. By stretching it out further to the right, you’re creating more space for it to stay on one line.

@NWLarry Glad it was helpful! You're right, stories will help too. One way you can do that is to set up each image/story as a different blog post. You can still set up the Portfolio page how you have it with the grid, but then each image will link to the story. Or if you don't have stories for every picture, then just keep the layout you have and then add a section with a carousel for the pictures with stories (like the Blog post carousel I have at the bottom of my home page). Also, I was reading the story on the bike pic (love the pic) and was finding it hard to make my eyes stay focused to read it. I think it's a combination of the font, big paragraphs, and a thin white font against the gray. I tried it out with a different font combo, heavier font, smaller paragraphs, and a different white (#ededed) and think it's easier on the eyes to absorb. I say all of that to say, don't be afraid to play around with different things until you land on the sweet spot. Text is a really important part of keeping people engaged on a site.

@Arrow Try adding this - @media screen and (max-width:767px) { .user-items-list-simple { margin-left: -5%; margin-right: -5%; } .list-item-content__title { padding-top: 40px; } } You can play around with those numbers until you get the desired look. 🙂

Try adding this to what you have - .user-items-list-simple { padding-left: 0; } .list-item-media { margin-bottom: 0; }

@AmateurCockroach Click "edit site header" at the top of your page. Click Edit Design. Turn on "Fixed position" and choose "basic" for Fixed Header Style. That will keep your header at the top when people scroll the page 🙂
