Hello!

First and foremost thank you for your business! And I am glad that you are taking a step to invest in your own! Now let’s make your website work for you. Just wanted to share a couple tips that can help you as you edit your website.

Your website is not just about looking pretty, it should help you reach an audience even while you sleep! Structuring it in such a way can really help you bring in passive income and showcase your work in a professional way.

Squarespace is often doing updates - so things may move around as far as navigation bar and how you edit. Keep a look out for cool features like creating your own Courses and ways to monetize your website.

You can grab content and just move it around.
- Stretch it or shrink it.
- You can highlight several items and move the around.
My biggest tip is to add all your photos to your asset library at once. Separate by folders if needed.
- This will help when you got to add the photo, you don’t need to upload each time.
- Use good quality photos.
- If you business is fairly new and don’t have many photos use sites like Unsplash & Pexel to find free/premium photos that you can use.
- Squarespace is integrated with Unsplash so if you search for free images you will be searching via Unsplash
- Make sure to resize your photos on mobil view they may get smaller or wider, just grab he corners and stretch.
At the top right corner you will see a brush that is where you can select the “Style” of your website.
- Change font/size
- Add colors
To edit toggle over the header and click edit.
- Logos used should have a transparent background and can be resized.
- You can edit your button, remove it, add social links up top.
- If you add you logo to your footer make sure you add a link to it so when your audience clicks on it it will take them to the “home” page.
Each page/section can have its own colors.
- Click on Edit Section >. Colors > Change it to theme one you want.
- If you want to change particular colors within a color them, you can click edit on the colors to make site wide changes.
