What are some of your proudest works you've worked on?
Jess V Meditation
Creating a clean fresh site with interesting elements such as buttons that spin on hover, image decors, split sections and tabbed sections
Kate Headley Photography
The client wanted a very unique website with staggered images and unique layouts. This was done on 7.0 so I had to use pseudo element positioning. Also, used sticky grid galleries for the press in print page, a vertical timeline for the About page. I also used the mega menu workshop.
17
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
Learn how to scope sections and designs in a way that is easy for clients to apply. It's also helped me understand so many coding concepts that are specific to Squarespace so I can get the most out of it.
