  1. @HopelessNewbie I was referring to the button for the entire list section (not the buttons on the columns), which is an entirely different setting. Nevertheless, you can remove it with code also (if you don't want to use the steps in my previous post). Go to Website/Pages/Website Tools/Custom CSS and paste this: section[data-section-id="671d7c98bd0abe4f68188a27"] .list-section-button { display: none; }
  2. Hi @Kunal636! Love the logo! Just a few thoughts at first glance: - Move the social media icons to the footer instead of the header. The header is the first thing people see when they land on your site, and we want them paying attention to the content instead of clicking an icon that will take them AWAY from your site. - I would move the navigation links to the same line as the logo. Right now it's taking up a lot of real estate aligning them vertical instead of horizontal. Also increase the font - a lot of people will find that hard to read (love the font choice though). - Instead of having 3 sections of doctor/office/technology, I would do this a bit differently. For starters, you want to use text instead of video. There are 2 reasons for this... first, some people may not be able to watch a video (maybe they're at work). secondly, by using text, you'll be able to rank higher in Google for specific keywords. Also, I would do one horizontal section for each of these so that your home page is longer. - Definitely add some text to the home page that identifies the customer's problem, explains how you have the solution to their problem, and explains the transformation they will have by using you (ex: go from feeling insecure to confident). The only reason someone is on your website is because they have a problem. If you can convince them that you can solve their problem, then you have a client. - I would rename the "our practice" page to "about". The About page is the 2nd most visited page. People are going to be hunting for it, so just make it clear where they need to go instead of them guessing. - Add some before/after pics to the Services page. - Add a lead generator to capture new email addresses and start a mailing list. - Hyperlink the email/phone in the footer. The italic font looks a bit off compared to the other fonts on the page. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have questions, ok? 🙂
  3. @HopelessNewbie It looks like the button at the bottom of a list section. Click that section and click Edit Content, then turn off the Button toggle (2nd option).
  4. @artistbookings On the back end of your site, go to Website, Pages, Website Pages, Custom CSS and paste this code. Feel free to adjust the number (2px) until you get the spacing you want - li { margin-bottom: 2px; } Hit save 🙂
  5. Hey @Aramazt - Here's steps how to use separate images for desktop and mobile so that you can adjust the sizes to each - https://www.jessicamiller.work/blog/how-to-replace-a-background-image-for-mobile Also, this text is overlapping on mobile - Change the default Squarespace favicon too! 🙂
  6. @artistbookings I can't explain the change, but you can decrease the space using CSS. Adjust the number until you get the look you want - li { margin-bottom: 2px; } I'm just wondering though if your browser is zoomed in, making the spacing look larger. This is how it looks on my screen -
  7. @AlexisPN You can extend your trial by adding this after the domain on your copied site: /config/extendtrial It can be extended multiple times. Alternatively, you can get a Circle Member to copy your site (like me) and that will give you a 3 month trial instead of the typical 2 weeks. Send me a message if you want to go that route.
  8. Hey @Asstmpls! Couple of things I noticed - I would add a little extra text to the top section stating who you are and what you do. Like, what are the "premium services"? Without explaining it, it's a guessing game - are you a mobile vet? premium dry cleaner? personal chef? You can see how it gets confusing. I actually learned more about what y'all do from this post than from the website! 🙂 Nice logo. I would actually remove the social media links from the header navigation and instead put a call to action button. The social media icons can go in the footer. There's actually more content on the asst Private page than the home page...this is where all of the info is hiding!! I would move some of this to the home page so that it's easy for people to find. The font size in the "what you'll have access to" section is quite small. Maybe I'm missing it, but I didn't actually find anything to purchase on the website. If that's the case, what is the cart icon for in the header? Change the /how-to-book-1 URL to /how-to-book Just my overall impression from the site - it's not easy enough for someone to become a customer. There needs to be more call to action buttons, and less hoops to jump through (the 5 step process). The more steps there are, the less likely someone is to take action. It needs to be "click this button to sign up/purchase", boom. That's it. Also I didn't see anything about pricing - which is everyone's #1 question. Most people will not pick up the phone to find out, so it's important to have it on your site. Hope that helps 🙂
  9. @SuburbanSister Your page does a good job of displaying your work, but the one major thing missing is YOU! 🙂 If someone is going to hire you, they're going to want to know who they're hiring - not just their work. The 3 images in the "posters" section go to a broken link. I second the other person's comment about changing the default Favicon. Hope that helps!
  10. Hey @Kristin-Marshall! It looks like it's working ok... are you still having issues?
  11. @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 🙂
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. Hey @MEKEnt - I'm not sure of the code that will move it... but maybe someone else can reply here with the code.
  15. 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; } }
  16. 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 🙂
  17. @GF1 What URL did you use for the sitemap? It should be https://www.brainpebblepoet.com/sitemap.xml
  18. 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.
  19. 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 🙂
  20. 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 🙂
  21. Hey @Katewood78! What's the pw? The site is private.
  22. @jenlew Not sure I understand the problem... the resolution looks okay to me on the bubbles.
  23. @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.
  24. 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 🙂
