Hi Claire. From the menu lesson, I have created 3 pages for my navigation bar for each subscriber - free, paid and founding with links to what they can access. Is this too many menus? Should I condense them down to 1, or do you think this is ok? Thanks so much ❤️

I've made 2! I think yours look great Sophie. I particularly like your welcome page, it is really clear but also fun because its such a story and i love the imagery and the map. my only critique is that the 3 pages on the nav bar are a bit repetitive. i went to free first as i'm new to your publication, and i was a bit overwhelmed by how much was on it. xx

If you watch the last paid class I think that will give you a deeper understanding of how to work with it all lovely but I’ll take a look for you too.

I have zero understanding of Canva and have been struggling to create an image that would fit into the watermark. I keep getting the message that i need to reformat it, but I am not yet sure how. So I guess I'll have to keep trying.

I have more detailed lessons in my course lovely... do you want the link?

You want to go with text/ font only and readable/ large then download with transparent background as a png. Canva is fun but not when you are just learning love!

pleased with this tip! i've changed my wordmark background colour and am really happy with how it now looks. i've created 2 pages for my nav bar and i am LIT UP about my archive, helping direct my subs to read things, and feel re-ignited in general. so proud of everything ive written over the last 16 months and excited to get new eyes on it all.
