Squarespace website www.meredithnash.com has been set up, designed and built so that it is quite easy to manage the content and edit certain elements on pages.

Structure

The site consists of the following elements:

1. NOT LINKED pages (not accessible by external users):

• Homepage Index (landing page, scrollable, consist of two separate pages - Banner and Introduction). Accessible by clicking on the logo, doesn't have a link in the main navigation.

• Blog "Articles, Podcasts, News & Updates" (serves only for displaying elements as summaries on certain pages; clickable and linked to sources).

• Gallery "Client Logos for the Homepage" (serves only for displaying client logos on the Homepage as a row of elements; clickable and linked to sources). To add a new logo, resize the logo on a transparent background down to 500px x 191px and make sure it's properly centred. Upload a PNG file to the Gallery, type the file name for SEO and in Options tab, paste a click-through URL to the source. Once you posted a new item and changed the total number of logos in the section on the Homepage please go to that section and in gallery settings, change the number of items in a row.

• Folder "Developer www.relativist.space" with plugin files and some other developer assets. Please do not delete any of those.

• Instructions page

• Deleted pages - if you occasionally delete a page you will be able to restore it in one click. Deleted pages will be in the Bin for 30 days.

2. PRIMARY NAVIGATION (elements accessible from the main navigation):

• Research page

• Coaching folder with 3 sub-pages

• Speaking page

• Writing page

• About Index (scrollable; consists of Banner and two subsections)

• Contact page.

NB: Please note that changing the site structure may affect its appearance, especially in regards to the pages within the Index structure. Also, if you ever decide to change your template please make sure that you drag all elements from the PRIMARY NAVIGATION down to NOT LINKED section. Otherwise, you may lose those forever.

You can add many other elements to your pages - buttons, images, videos, galleries, summaries, forms, social feed blocks, etc.The most important type of content that you will be constantly updating is summary blocks on Research page, Speaking page, and Writing page (and also, News & Updates). All articles, publications, podcasts, research works, etc. you will be adding to the site through one blog - "Articles, Podcasts, News & Updates".
