Hi,

I'll mark this as resolved right away - it's not a support question.

I wrote about how I've built my website (with GeneratePress Premium) - as close to step-by-step as I could without making it too long. The article is primarily intended as my own reminder, and as a way to get help and advice from experts. If it helps anyone else - even better! :)

Any suggestions for custom code improvements or design choices are welcome.

P.S. Thank you for offering top-class support (even for the free GP version), and for making the best WordPress theme (and stellar documentation). :)

Hi there,

This is pretty subjective so it's really tricky to say any "improvements".

But I'll add notes/comments on some parts of the CSS, like this one:

    .page-hero {
        height: 300px !important;
    }

in case the user wants to vertically align center the contents on a fixed height element.

.page-hero > * {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
}

But then again, it's really subjective. Some situations require absolute positioning instead. (example: background videos)
