My first sales page
If you've been following my blog on WA, you'll notice that I use small milestones to gauge my progress. First was the initial posts, next was the shop added to the site, now it's my sales page. I have a chakra energy healing course coming up in June and finally finished the sales page. I'm happy with it today, but I do understand that it will be edited a few times before I add the buy now button in a couple weeks.
I have learned that things don't have to be perfect, that I can make little mistakes and still avoid making big ones. To me, all mistakes were big. But I've learned that people are way more forgiving than I previously thought. Typos, poor punctuation, simple information. Sometimes people just need a reminder and if you're there as that reminder, then you're helping. You don't have to be perfect or offer only original information. It's how you present it that's going to catch their attention. I'm hoping that my presentation is good enough to live off of.
If you're interested in checking out my latest milestone, it's here http://chakraenergyhealing.siterubix.com/chakra-healing-course
Thanks.

I suggest you to increase the font size of paragraphs a little bit as it is too small and might irritate some people..anyway you are doing great..
I adjusted the font size and line height and edited the h2 styles to be larger. For some reason I can't edit the style sheet. It's importing, so I don't have access to it. I may have to find another theme, because if I can't edit the stylesheet, it's not MY site, now is it? :/ (the overall font size throughout the site is too small in my opinion and I never liked the size difference between the h2 and h1 tags)
most theme provide customization option to change the stylesheet...if you are using wordpress given by WA.. then there is option: appearance / editor.. Where you can have access to the stylesheet of the theme.. you can tweak the code there to change the appearance of the theme...
I'm sorry. I must have not been clear. I CANNOT EDIT THE STYLESHEET, THE THEME IS IMPORTING IT. I'm assuming you didn't understand what I said, since it would be rude to call me a liar. And, since I clearly know what I'm doing, you're not telling me how to do something as basic as edit a stylesheet without there being clarity issues.
I've contacted the developer at his preferred network, but haven't gotten a response. Finding a new theme is my only choice; as writing a completely new style sheet on my own will take more time than I care to spend.
many developer uses cms frame like bootstrap, skeleton etc. Which are standard css and are imported.. Also developer like to import all the css files through single link as that saves http request.. So it might be impossible for you to edit the css..
Any way you can add some css below the imports specially for the parts that you want to change..
if you need a lot of changes.. then i suggest you contact your developer or change the theme..

Or... you can msg me the screenshots of the problem you are facing.. May be I can help more..
That's the question I asked the developer the other day (still no answer): can I override his stylesheet by adding my own code in the style.css file? So you're saying that that's possible? If I want to go through and change, say, the h2 style, I can just add the CSS code in style.css after the import code? I'll be changing how the font looks, line spacing and size mostly. It's honestly only like 15 mins of coding and testing. Definitely less time than creating a whole stylesheet from scratch.
If you're good at this, I may need some help styling the sidebar. It looks like shit and the changes I've made do nothing. According to a wordpress tutorial I don't quite understand, there's more to it than just styling id's and classes. There's div tags and stuff I'm not even sure about. I wish I did. Wordpress themes are a money maker. And if I knew the code, I'd be selling those. But I'm just a lowly graphic designer with webpage coding experience.
yes you can override the other css. But you have to put enough weight in your css to override other css. In css there are tags(like div, h1, p etc) which are worth 1 point, class which are worth 10 points and ids which are worth 100 points. A style applying in a particular place generally is a combination of tags, class and ids.
suppose , the developer has applied green color to a paragraph inside a div of class 'sidebar' as:
.sidebar p{ color: green;}
then the weight of the style here is 10+1 = 11.
if you try to override above style as : p{color: red;} then it wont work as your weight here is only 1 which is less than 11.
Instead you can do by including a body tag to override as:
body .sidebar p{color: red;}
here your weight is 12>11 and it will work.
This is just a simple explanation of how css work.
A simple solution would be to include !important to override any style irrespective of weight though this is not recommended. use it only when there is no solution.
p{ color: red !important;}
Also I found out this .. may be it can help you..
