This code is just an itty bitty teaser of what's possible if you were to invest in their Squarespace Design Course. I'm an alumni and it helped my skills dramatically ♡

People notice customised cursors straight away. The easiest way to cute-ify it is with a thoughtfully chosen emoji that's on brand for your biz.

Spark Plugin actually gives you a CRAZY amount of mods (100+) built into one simple platform. Think custom icons, buttons, navigation looks, text effects and animations.

What started with some cool text animations has landed into a whole suite of plugins to make your Squarespace hella interesting. Special mention to the nicer popout cart designs, too!

When I first started our coding, Ghost was an amazing resource for some quick win cute features I wanted. There are 100's of free code plugins and more special ones for a small ticket. Thank me later ☻

Hidden GIFs always make people lose their minds thanks to the element of surprise. When they tap the mobile menu icon, treat them to something fun or pretty like this.
