There are a number of places Squarespace 7.1 design could be enhanced for user experience. I'm coming at it as a first-time user as I'm learning 7.1 to migrate my 7.0 site over. I find it odd that the naming convention for labels on font size are not 1:1 on different panels when they are indeed 1:1 objects. If a Squarespace design person is monitoring this forum, here's a request for improvement. On the plus side, I'm loving the 7.1 flexibility overall compared to 7.0. 👍

What are your thoughts about starting a 7.1 migration project without using an existing design, but instead using the Blank Template Blueprint in my new trial account. AND, I could also start a second trial in parallel with one of the design layout templates. Then I could get ideas with the design one for helping me build the blank one. Or maybe I might find one easier to go with and drop the other. What's nice about being a Circle member is that I have six months for the trials. Have you found this to be a useful strategy for the objective of trying to replicate an existing 7.0 design as much as possible?
Thanks!

@derricksrandomviews Thanks for your tip. Malone design looks good, but I assume it should be easy for me to create each page to start with a banner image like the home page, as I have done with Margot.
Thanks again!

I plan to migrate our site from Squarespace 7.0 Brine Family/Margot Template to something similar in the set of Squarespace 7.1 templates. Would anyone have recommendations based on experience with Margot? I included my URL if you are curious about how my site looks today. Unfortunately, Squarespace doesn't have a migration chart that gives recommendations. Thanks!

Hi,

My website is for any business industry and business unit since my project management application is a horizontal solution that any of them could benefit from. However, I would like to zero in on a niche, or two niches. I have been doing well with two market sectors. I'm looking for advice if anyone has introduced a dual approach on their home page for a visitor to choose direction based on who they are. Maybe I should focus on only one niche, but I could be loosing out on the other. So, I'm looking for advice on how to do a dual approach or maybe advice that maybe I should do that for good reason.

Thanks!
Paul
