Code Injections and Custom CSS

THINGS TO KNOW

  • This site has been built on Squarespace 7.1 using the Fluid Editor.

  • Whilst Fluid editor is great and allows us to layer items, it does make responsive design much trickier as it is no longer automatic and will not always play nice.

  • You can now edit the design on desktop and mobile independently. It isn’t without fault but it can assist.

  • Make sure wherever possible to put all text in a single text box and try not to overlap elements where possible. Reduce the padding around any block as much as possible.

  • When in a section, but not typing IN a text block, hit G on your keyboard. This will make the grid always visible which will help with spacing.

CUSTOM FONTS

I have loaded some custom fonts - one of them being Vonder-Clean. It has been loaded as a Miscellaneous font so if you choose the MONOTYPE it will auto bring it up (albeit very small) - so use it in a separate text block and choose the symbol next to the colour - with the A and the two brackets - that will make it fill the size of the text block.

CHECK THIS TEXT SARAH - VONDER CLEAN AND ED MENTASA - 2 SEPARATE FONT INSTRUCTIONS

If you make something Heading 2 (H2) and then make it italic

it will change it to the Ed Mentasta font.

ELFSIGHT PLUGINS

Elfsight Plugins manage the following features:

  • Number Counter

  • Date Countdown

  • Logo Gallery**

In order to update these items, you need to go to Elfsight.

I only have permissions to add one person so Liam has got login details for this.

** Have just installed a new custom beta plugin from Ghost for the Logo Gallery. Because I am trialling it - it’s free! Whereas Elf Plugin was a paid plugin and was also tied to how many people viewed it so it could get expensive. This plugin still requires us to login to the different platform and upload individual logos, names, website links etc however it dramatically reduces the load on the site than uploading them individually. In previous years, this has really slowed the site down which can be problematic on Christmas Day. Because the businesses don’t change too much year to year, it is time consuming initially but updating year to year should be fairly straight forward.

PLUGINS

There are some plugins and custom code installed on the site to give us more control and be able to do things that we normally cannot do.
