Everything you need to know about parallax scrolling and Squarespace - video tutorial

Today’s post was inspired by a recent conversation I had with a client where we discussed which Squarespace template to use for their new website in order to present their content in the best way possible. I love it when a real-life situation or question comes up as a topic that I can share with you all here on my blog!

In this post, we are going to dive DEEP into one of the hottest web design trends. You might not have heard of it but you definitely know it when you see it. That’s right, it’s parallax scrolling!

There’s a ton of information here because I want to make sure that you have everything you need to decide if parallax scrolling is a design feature that makes sense for you to use on your own website. If you decide to use it, I’m also going to show you how that works with Squarespace and walk you through you exactly how to get started with it!

Consider this your #nerdalert and keep reading if you’re ready to get technical!

Did you know Squarespace has an Analytics App?

My friends! It has come to my attention that no everyone is as obsessed with Squarespace as I am and as such, they aren’t fully aware of all the features available! The horror.

Jokes aside, I use and love the Squarespace analytics app all the time and want to make sure it’s on your radar too.

As a web designer/developer, I work with Squarespace literally every day which means I know the platform inside out, like the label of my favourite green juice. That’s great because it makes things super easy, speedy and straightforward for me but I sometimes forget that not everyone has the same deep understanding of Squarespace that I do!

I was recently wrapping up a website project training session with a client and in an offhand comment mentioned the Squarespace analytics app. It was clear that this was the first she was hearing of my (beloved) app and I was happy to spread the love and encourage her to use it! Now i’m doing the same here, with you :)

Depending on how much of a Squarespace junkie you are, today’s post might be an intro to the app or a friendly reminder to actually log in and check your stats. Either way, I hope you learn something new and get more out of your Squarespace account!

Let's take a look at the mobile app, shall we?

How to add and style buttons on a Squarespace banner image - video tutorial

Isn’t it funny how something so small can pack a big punch? One little tweak and all of a sudden WHAM, you’ve got a totally different result.

I’ve noticed that small yet intentional elements can heighten design in a major way, and this is particularly true when you look at header images.

Many modern websites are styled with a large, full-width banner image that greets you when you first land on a page. There’s often a background image with text overlay on top.

But if you want to take your design a step further and incorporate a really effective call to action? That’s where the beloved button comes in.
