➞ REMINDER ABOUT CHANGES TO FAQs: NEW DYNAMIC TITLE AND ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS

The content creator is now generating six FAQ questions for better SEO. Please include all six on the Homepage (as usual), but REMOVE THE FIRST TWO QUESTIONS on the dynamic pages.

Additionally, there is now a better-optimized
FAQ "Title" Question that has a dedicated column in the generated collection spreadsheets. Please be sure that you use this dynamic title for your dynamic pages' FAQ sections, and as always, happy building!

Have you experienced minor glitches in your AI-generated clips for your spokesperson videos?


Sharp inhaling at the end of a clip? Strange transitions baked into the video?  No need to worry! Most glitchy clips can still be saved if you do a few simple editing tricks in WeVideo.


Check out the demonstration below to see one particular workaround for removing sharp inhalations that are sometimes included in the AI-generated footage:

Have you ever noticed how a service gallery can sometimes look unbalanced? When the number of services a client wants to highlight doesn’t fit neatly into the layout, the design can feel unpolished.


Below is an example of an unbalanced gallery layout, along with a quick workaround to create a more professional and visually harmonious showcase of a client's offerings:

A Final Farewell, Friends

This is not an easy goodbye, but today is my last day at Simple. It’s been a wild ride, and now I’m on to the next adventure in my journey. This was unexpected and not something I took lightly, but I’m very grateful to have worked with so many talented designers. I have made a lot of friends along the way and have learned so much from all of you. So, sincerely, thank you for having me, for collaborating with me, and for supporting me. You have no idea how much your words and kindness have meant.


This quote has always brought me a lot of joy, and as a farewell, I leave it with you:

“End? No, the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take.” — Gandalf


I always found that line to be very epic and very poetic. Rest assured, I'm healthy and well! Just know that I’m on another path, one that is the beginning of something new. 


I'm very proud of you all,

Carissa

Optimizing Footer Design in Duda:  Full Bleed ROWS vs. AUTO-PADDED ROWS

When designing your Footer section in Duda, consider toggling "off" the Full-Bleed Row option. This formatting works especially well when your logo isn't bulky or wide, as well as when you only have only a few elements to be spread across three columns. This approach keeps the footer clean and well-aligned.


However, if your footer includes several different elements, a wider logo, or requires the use of four or more columns, switching to the Full-Bleed option will give your Footer a more cohesive and balanced look, ensuring all elements fit neatly and the design feels complete.

UTILIZING THE New DYNAMIC FAQ TITLE QUESTION IN YOUR COLLECTIONS

We now have a field in the collections called “FAQ Title Questions.” This field is made to be used on the dynamic pages, in the FAQ sections.


Moving forward, let’s make sure to include this field so each FAQ section shows up with a unique header on every dynamic page.


That means we can finally say goodbye to using the same line like “Why is [Company] so popular?" and instead give every page its own fitting FAQ title.


Here’s a quick clip showing how to add the FAQ Question Title to your collection:
