christyprice got a reaction from MainhouseCreative in How to Lower Bounce Rate
Definitely! People find what they are looking for and often don’t visit anything else on your site. Some steps I take to mitigate that are adding relevant links in the post, adding related posts at the end, and adding a blog sidebar with some context and ways to explore.

christyprice got a reaction from ChristinaDean in How to Lower Bounce Rate
@ChristinaDean I've found that pages like the one you mentioned typically have a very high bounce rate because people are finding all the info they need on that page with no reason to visit other pages. To reduce bounce rate, you'd want to actively encourage folks to click on another page of your website. Maybe more detailed information about each activity?

Hi @jakefromleeds - nice work! I love a minimal, modern site.
However, I must say I'm not a fan of the custom cursor. Here's a great article explaining why: https://ericwbailey.website/published/dont-use-custom-css-mouse-cursors/
Love the mobile-type menu on desktop and great job with the process timeline!

christyprice got a reaction from justin.mabee in Does anyone know how to create a border around an image block?
@kroona-4 if you don't want to do this with code, you could try placing a shape block behind each image and adding a border to that.

christyprice got a reaction from paul2009 in Website Review
Hi @Bluerose. Your site looks fantastic. I LOVE the high-quality images you used. Nice work!!!
My only suggestion might be to move Home from the top nav to the unlinked section - people will click your site title to get back to the home page, and that way SHOP will be the first (and most important) link.
I'm hungry now... 😉

@iJizzy1 are you using Squarespace 7.1? Try adding this to Custom CSS:

christyprice got a reaction from couch_potato in New Auto content blocks/lists equal height?
Just wanted to update this post - Squarespace rolled out an update and you no longer need a code solution here. In the auto layout (list) section, just go to Edit Content > Design > Size & Space. Scroll to the bottom and there is now the option to make each item the same height under Position:

christyprice got a reaction from BellamyTree in Accordion Block: Dos and Don’ts
LOVE the new accordion block. @ghostpluginshas some great free Custom CSS for it too.
I did a quick video walkthrough of styling options here (there are some that are kinda hidden, like the description width): https://christyprice.com/blog/how-to-add-accordion-squarespace

christyprice reacted to Chris.SE in Disabling Portfolio Project Pages in Squarespace Version 7.1
I have created a free, comprehensive code solution for creating "draft" portfolio items:
https://schwartz-edmisten.com/blog/how-to-set-squarespace-portfolio-items-to-draft
The reason I felt the need to create this code solution is because a client came to me needing this exact functionality. The existing accepted solution in this thread only takes into account hiding the post on the main portfolio page, but people can still navigate to it using the pagination from another post. Also, because it requires changing the URL slug, if you want to set an older post to draft that has already been indexed, then people will get a 404 because the URL has changed when they click that link.
My code takes all of this into account. Pagination of draft items are hidden, and the URL slug doesn't need to be changed. You simply change the post title from Post Title to (Draft) Post Title. If someone tries to navigate directly to the Draft item using its URL, they will be redirected to the main portfolio page.
I think I have truly thought of everything with this plugin and it should be a good solution until Squarespace wakes up and finally implements the feature themselves. I have a video on the post that walks through the entire functionality if you are curious about how to use it.
I would love to hear people's feedback! Hopefully this saves some people from needing to leave the platform.

christyprice got a reaction from tuanphan in Create Different Header on One Page
Ah, in that case, you'd want to paste this into Custom CSS.
#collection-64f8da2e62b1ec2afe1f174f #header { display: none; } The collection ID is specific to the page you'd like to remove the header from.

christyprice reacted to dnmddy in Accordion Block: Dos and Don’ts
it's so frustrating that you cant paste in text with basic styling like bold or hyperlinked. The block allows for this to be applied, so why can't we paste in the text with it? It's extremely time consuming to have to reformat everything
