            Congratulations, that´s a major achievement!! I also set up mine in wordpress years ago, but I got help to do that - I was totally lost!
            Kudos to you for taking the challenge and doing a great job.
            I love your branding/logo and „Sweetness“ is both a cool brand idea and ties in beautifully between shop and website.
            Is it possible that there is a mistake in the quote that you put on the page? It seems to be missing a part of the sentence to make sense, somehow.
            The structure looks ok to me as a start. You`ll probably change the structure as your content and your business evolves anyhow.

              Hi Vanessa!

              Your website is so lovely! I love the color palette you’re using. So light and easy on the eyes. Making it so much invitational to just stick around and peek at your lovely art. And also fun to read a bit about you! To have a face to the one creating all those lovely pieces and posting here on this forum!

              I tried to sign up for the newsletter but it did not work. I went to your website via Instagram and picked the bottom newsletter sign up. Maybe the link is broken? Thought I would give you the heads up.

              Keep up the great work Vanessa! Can’t wait to see how your future will unfold.

              Lots of love

                @smceccarelli Ahhh, yes that is entirely possible! It's a quote of mine that I translated from my native language, French... It maybe doesn't make as much sense as I'd hoped ^^'''' Thanks for pointing it out, I'll rework it! And thank you for the encouragement and kind words! And I think you're absolutely right about the structure evolving with time as may career evolves - I'm already thinking I'll want to change or upgrade when I get my body of work to where I want it to be!

                @Sas You're the second to mention that about the newsletter form, but I was swamped with a deadline yesterday and didn't have time to look into it (It's stressing me out everytime I think about it O_____O) I have one newsletter form in the body of my main page and one as a widget on the sidebar, I think the widget ends up at the bottom when seen on a phone and it's that one that doesn't work, for some reason! It may not have connected properly to my Mailchimp account or something... I have to investigate O____O
                Thank you so much for checking out the website and leaving me your feedback! ❤

                  Alright I think I fixed my newsletter problem! For those interested, read on (but it gets a little technical..)

                  From what I could tell, only the sidebar newsletter widget on the home page wouldn't work, but it did work on other pages! I concluded if there are 2 newsletter widgets on the same page, it probably causes problems and only the first displayed will work. I tried to remove the sidebar widget, but the problem with that is that all pages use the same sidebar - so if I wanted to get rid of it on the home page, it would disappear everywhere! What I ended up doing to circle around that problem was installing a new plugin called "Easy custom sidebars" that lets you create as many sidebars as you want, removed the newsletter widget on the home page, and there you have it!
