2-Column Mobile Layout on Shop Page ○ Global Navigation Menu Update

Why does 2-Column Mobile Layout on Shop Pages matter? 

This was one of those features available on some 7.0 templates, and now IT’S BACK! 🎉

How to turn on this feature: 

  • While logged into your website, click on the Website panel in the menu

  • Click on the Store page 

  • Top left, click on Edit

  • To the right, click on the Mobile icon to enter the Mobile Layout

  • Click on Edit Section where products are displayed

  • As shown in the screenshot below, increase the # of Columns to 2

Mobile Shopping Cart with 2-Column Layout enabled

Benefits of this feature:

  • Being able to see more products on a mobile device can improve conversion rates since visitors can locate a specific product quickly

  • Even with the “Add to Cart” option enabled, 4 products are easily viewable

 

Global Navigation Updates to Squarespace Backend

In short, the menu of items you see while logged into Squarespace is what this is referring to. 

Benefits of this feature: 

  • The backend options are much more streamlined and several items have been grouped together in a more sensible manner. 

 

Pro Tip

Hit the “/” key on your keyboard to bring up the Search
menu to quickly and easily find menu items.

 

The amount of changes I’ve seen to the backend menu in the year 2023 alone is kind of astounding. When you have tutorial videos and documentation showing step-by-step how to navigate one version of the menu, then that menu changes, well, let’s just say that is a ridonkulous amount of time spent updating tutorials (only to have it change again!?!). 

I will not be changing or updating any tutorials 😂 because it’s so much easier to use the shortcut menu (hit the “/” key on your keyboard to bring up the search menu and find what you need in the back end so much quicker). 

Any tutorial video you find online has probably been impacted by constant menu changes, so I promise you will have zero regrets about adding this easy step to your workflow!
