#SQUARESPACE PARALLAX MENU COLOR UPDATE#

SITE SPACING: This one is funny to me because there are only 2 options in this palette. You can choose for the animations to be slow, medium or fast. THAT’S A LOT OF OPTIONS!ĪNIMATIONS: This is new as well and gives 7.1 a very distinct look! You can choose from 5 different “site animations” of how you want your content to load on the page. Here it can get insanely overwhelming because to further it - you can change every color across the site in every single theme. Then based on your new color palette, you get 10 “section themes” you can choose from to use on each section throughout your pages. It gives you white, black and then an accent, light and dark color you can choose. When you go to the “color” palette you now either create a custom or choose a pre-made “color palette” for your website.

I get why it was built this way, to easily be able to update all the fonts on the website across the board and look uniform, but not being able to have 3 unique fonts on your website like in 7.0 I think really puts a damper on creativity and being able to create hierarchy.ĬOLORS: This is something I actually love! It has become super simple to drastically change the colors of your website all at once. This is one huge problem I have with 7.1.

BUT all headings must be the exact same font and can only vary in size, as well as the paragraph styles. Another new variation is you have 4 heading styles and 3 paragraph styles. You can update the heading, paragraph, buttons and miscellaneous font styles and then assign one of those styles or create a new completely custom styles to everything else such as the navigation, newsletter block, blog items, shop items, etc. But in 7.1 they are now separated out into different panels:įONTS: Squarespace has created pre-made “font packs” for you to choose from and then customize. Fonts, colors and spacings are all lumped into one. This is the biggest change you will find between the two versions! In 7.0 when you go to your “styles” panel, it is a long running list of all the styles you can change. How you design the styles in your website (fonts, colors, image blocks, buttons, etc.) is COMPLETELY different. I will transfer you a brand new 7.1 site that is fully designed ready for you to edit and then launch whenever you are ready!įor website designers: There is no way ( other than manually!) to duplicate a page from one 7.1 website to another like there is in 7.0 with the Squarespace Websites Tools Extension ( a lifesaver!). If you’re looking at purchasing a website template design like mine in 7.1, you won’t want to purchase hosting before hand. Again, hopefully there will be in the future but not right now.

There is no way to transfer blog posts from a 7.0 to a 7.1 site. It is NOT a bad thing! I do believe sometime in the near future there will be a really simple way to do this, but until then 7.0 is still an amazing platform and is constantly being updated! If you have a 7.0 site do not worry! Squarespace has promised to keep updating the 7.0 templates.

Although if you paid for the year up front and it’s within a month, Squarespace is usually pretty great about refunds!Īt this time, there is no way to convert a website built in a 7.0 template to a 7.1 template. Once you pay for hosting on a 7.1 website, you can’t switch the hosting to a 7.0 website (or vise versa). It is not! You can have both 7.0 and 7.1 websites living in your account! Something I get asked all the times is if your ACCOUNT is 7.0 or 7.1.
