Tricky things on SquareSpace

 So I have a particularly grueling task because SquareSpace has some interesting things that make it tricky in their responsive design defaults.

My client is asking for all my Headers to look the same, as in the top images to be at the same height.  However, each image is flexing because SquareSpace has some weird algorithm that makes it so I have to find alternative methods than usual to keep it looking consistent from desktop to mobile. 

I'm trying to use invisible images instead of spacers.  It's still trying though because apparently, even though the desktop settings don't necessarily affect the mobile, when it comes to spacers and even images to some extent, there is some unpredictability that I'm still trying to figure out.

And what's more it's not always wysiwyg with the mobile view in the platform as it is in the actual phone.  So I'm double checking both ways to keep it together.  Meanwhile, I'm viewing things at 80% to account for the weird extra bar at the top of the page, even though that's not a perfect wysiwyg solution either.

Another issue I had with the images in the site was that a lot of them were made in portrait mode, which is excellent for mobile, but not so great for the landscape needs of the desktop. In a normal html site, I would have been able to code in a switch when the browser detected which size the website was being viewed from.  It's weird the many details it takes to do these sites. I remember when we never had phones smart enough to look at websites, and when as a webdesigner, I never had to code for responsivity.  Now everything is from 2 to 3 times more difficult, not to mention the many different platforms I'm learning to use.  It feels like complexity expands exponentially with each technological "advancement".

And now I'm hearing not only is Ai stealing my job as an animator, but also as a website designer.  Although to be honest, it's not just Ai, but the people using the Ai. It's really the capable, intelligent, and wealthy people who can afford all these things that are stealing these things from the older artists like me.  That's how it has always been.  That doesn't make it right.  It just feels weirder each year I get older and see all these changes.  And I am here still waffling between my mental health work and my art.  I don't know where all these years have gone so far, but I'm still young at heart.
