    @ArunNairArt Great work with your artworks, I like them! 
    Two things you can improve with the website:
    Add some short text in the start that explains what the website is about. I had slow connection so all I saw the first 10 seconds was the loading screen. Good luck!

    Susana_SQSP reacted to Brent_Dickens in Carousels & rotating sliders: love them or leave them?   
    There has been plenty of UX research and they found that they never really worked well.
    Most people never saw the second slide so if it was important content it may get missed. Still depending on the circumstances they can work well. They do slow down the page load though.

    Hi @misakimichy, 
    At the moment there isn't a way to check your activity log and restore content based on that. I am happy to forward this request to the appropriate team on your behalf. While we can't guarantee any implementation, rest assured every submission is reviewed by the manager in charge of improving the product area related to your request.

    Nice website @BrowerCreative! 😊
    Here are my 3 thoughts:
    Why do you have two different logos? I like the first one best (with the video background). I don't think the first page is necessary. Would be nice if you had the first page-design, but didn't have to click another time to see the navigation and scroll. I like the design in general!

    Susana_SQSP reacted to Alan-Squareflair in The Squarespace site I built is nominated for a Webby!   
    I'm happy to announce that my client's site won the People's Voice "Community Site" Webby for the REVERSE THE RED website! Thanks to all who voted in support of Species Survival. 
    I designed the site on Figma, and built the site on Squarespace's Developer Platform. It wasn't a complex site, but with a large committee steering the design/development, it was great to use/bend almost every component to completion. The Scientific/Institutional communities have held onto the Drupal platform for years, and we're here to prove that there's no reason for such an old/tired platform when forward momentum is the goal for building and using a site focused on growth and sustainability.

    Hi Susana - thank you for replying here. I contacted support via chat today and asked if they would kindly pass this on to development. I currently have to use an outside source to add share buttons and it would be great if this could be done within Squarespace.

    Susana_SQSP reacted to Spark_Plugin in Feedback on a higher education consultant website   
    Good job @Rainmaker (hehe, nice name)! Especially for being your first website! I like that it feels so "light".
    A few improvements:
    Definitely agree with adding a short video introduction, good idea. The fonts and font sizes are good I think. However, would be nice if the "KEYNOTE SPEAKER - ONLINE EDUCATION..." at the bottom had smaller spacing (more normal spacing). It would increase readability. It would be nice to have another photo. Maybe if you add the video, you can use the photo of you a bit further down in the text. Good luck with your consulting business!😊

    Susana_SQSP reacted to christyprice in How do you like to use promotional pop-ups on your website?   
    I often use the Promotional Popup to offer a lead magnet in exchange for someone joining a mailing list. For many clients, we show these when someone visits a blog post, but not on the main services pages of the site (we don't want to interrupt someone if they are looking to book a service).

    Hi Susana,
    Thanks for your quick response.  It appears that I will have to duplicate the site as a free trial and then upgrade it to a paid account.  I (or rather, my client) already has a paid account that he would like to duplicate his old site to.  Might there be a way to either transfer directly to his new paid account or upgrade the free site directly to the new paid account?

    Natural skin tone colour palette is nice.
    Here are my thoughts;
    There's a huge gap between 'sign in' and the first picture. The 'sign in' button is in an awkward location, middle? Usually sign in buttons are in the top right. This aligns with majority of the websites we see today. 'Sign in' button is really small. I recon make it 2-3 points larger but still keep your small/minimalistic look The steps and descriptors is not clear to me and why I should buy your product. For example: You have "step 1: detox".. sweet, I know step 1 but what us detox, what is your product that detoxes? Why should I click "shop now?" to find out what is detox and your detoxing product. This goes for the rest of the steps To solve this problem, in my opinion: Get rid of the hero image, start off with "step 1" on the left as normal then have your detox product picture on the right. Under step one, have a few words (max 10 words or less) on what is detox or why detox Have 'sustainable' in a skinny section, do not make it as big as the steps. This information is supplementary Step 2, same as point 1 above but have the step 2 on the right and image on the left this time Natural + organic same as point 2 above Step 3, same as point 1 above Overall the landing page is clean, easy to understand, colour scheme is really nice. product page is easy to read. Nice job!

    Susana_SQSP reacted to Excel_Questions in Skincare website feedback   
    Your shop page is actually really clear and nicely laid out, however, my opinion is the layout of your home page is a little disconnected. I don't really get  what you are about when I'm scrolling down the steps. I see buzz words like sustainable and organic but there is no journey and no demonstration of the value you are going to add to my life by buying your products. 
    I'd personally start by rearranging to have the steps first, id add images and show the visitors what you will do for them through your steps. How you will make their skin glow, how you will make them feel better about themselves and a small amount of narrative to enhance their perception. 
    Id then add the sections about sustainability and organic below that so when they've taken in your vision, they can be assured by your natural and sustainable credentials. 
     I'm in the same boat. Working to improve a home page to highlight the value of my site to my visitors. It's all a massive learning curve but I hope this assessment helps.

    Susana_SQSP reacted to paul2009 in Custom CSS working only when in editor mode   
    This usually happens when the browser fails to load the Squarespace CSS file (site.css) correctly. This usually happens for one of three reasons:
    Errors in your Custom CSS that prevent it saving/loading. You can resolve this by replacing your Custom CSS with a few simple lines of CSS for testing purposes. If this is applied correctly, your Custom CSS was at fault. Errors in the browser cache. This can be cleared with a hard refresh (Cmd ⌘ and Shift ⇧ + R on Mac). Errors in the site cache on the Squarespace backend. If this is the issue (the other two suggestions didn't fix it) then you'll need to contact Squarespace Customer Care and ask them to clear the site cache.

    Susana_SQSP reacted to Tiny_Coast in Is the fold still a thing?   
    For me personally I always try to capture what exactly myself or the client is offering above the fold. Perhaps if you are a massive brand or very recognized with signature creative, this is less of an issue for you. 
    If you plan on using tools like Google Ads to drive traffic,  you may want to emphasize communicating your service or product above the fold.  You don't want to leave potential clients confused about what you do or offer, and waste ad spend. 

    A  brand with recognizable creative, however, may have the advantage of someone already knowing what they offer and find themselves less concerned with confusing potential customers.

    Susana_SQSP reacted to Spark_Plugin in What do you think about my news website   
    Good job! I like that you are consistent with updating the website, it makes it more interesting to come back if you know there will be new blog posts/news😊
    One thing to improve on: Currently you show four of the latest posts, would it be possible to show more? Or at least have a "Show more" button? The new posts are extra interesting to read as they are new.
    Good luck!

    Susana_SQSP reacted to Spark_Plugin in first website / small business - would appreciate opinions!   
    Nice website Ellie! You managed to design a well-looking website. Very cool items you sell😊
    You feel something is missing - maybe that thing might be this: Show more of your items on your first page. Like the most popular ones. Then add a "Show more" button, so that you use those few items to make the customers want to look for more.
    Another thing that would improve is to not have full with on the first page. The websites look great on a laptop, but on my large monitor the images gets too big because of the full width.

    Susana_SQSP reacted to Spark_Plugin in How do you use color in your website?   
    I agree with you @Jo_SQSP, using a color that stand out is the best way to go most of the time.
    I've done quite a few reviews on peoples websites here on the forum, and one thing that I see many websites do wrong is not using colors that resonates with what they want to communicate.
    For example:
    I want to be personal - use a warm/soft color like low-saturated beige or brown I want to show authority - use blue or black I want to stick out - use a distinct color like yellow or pink

    Susana_SQSP reacted to derricksrandomviews in About Us page: what's your strategy?   
    As a blogger my site has a title, author's name, "table" of contents. My about page is the back page of my website like the back page of a book  jacket cover. It gives my viewers more personal information about me. Knowing me might compel them to read more of my stories. 
     I think the about pages I have built for others do the same thing, they add to the story the site is telling, with words images or both.

    What I can add to this is that images are very important. Good images greatly amplifies the message.
