  1. @grainne The blog-as-searchable-practitioner-database is a simple way to handle your problem. It allows you to make a detailed, style-able entry with links and more for each practitioner. Using the Archive dropdown block for Tags would be a great way to handle the names, and the Category field as their specialties. Good luck!
  2. @AL7GW Using FontAwesome for this is a great idea. They have a free plan and it's really easy. You add their code to Page Injection, allowing you to use icons as text. Then add their social links (be sure to open in a new page) to each icon you add to your Text or Markdown block in each section under your team member. Here's all their free brands links: https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&s=brands&m=free Let me know if this works 🙂
  3. Great question @Jo_G! The deceptively simple answers are 1. Compelling imagery 2. Stylish copy 3. Perfect functionality Great design articulates ideas with zero clutter. The mistake most people make (even seasoned designers!) is not editing enough. Once you achieve elegance in form and function, your content can shine!
  4. Congratulations @RCL87! You're off to a great start 🙂 Great design is often about communicating more with less, and you're keeping it simple - so that's good. However, you don't have any smiling faces of happy children - which a clothing seller (or in your case re-seller) needs to have. Subaru has branded their cars with the concept of "Love" and it moves more autos year-over-year than anyone expected. People nowadays are shopping online for the experience more than anything. Your job is to give them joy in being sustainable and stylish. Which leads to: what kind of stuff are you selling? It was not immediately apparent that your site consigns and up-cycles children's fashion. That should absolutely be featured prominently on the landing page and be the first thing everyone learns. Also, negatives are a no-no. (Get it?) "Non-Guelph Residents" is the literal first thing on your site (although not everyone reads or sees Announcement Bar info. Perhaps something like "Free Shipping starts at just $75 for orders from beyond Ontario!" Good luck... and feel free to reach out with any more questions!
