Highlight
Use the Highlight layout to make your most important content stand out. You can highlight a post by manually selecting specific ones, using a specific hashtag in the caption (eg. any post containing #postoftheday), or by just choosing a highlight pattern.
Want your Instagram posts on your website? It takes three steps.
Install the free Smash Balloon plugin, connect your Instagram, then pick a layout and add it to your page.
From then on every new post shows up on your site by itself.
Where would you put your Instagram feed on your site, the homepage or a gallery page?

A bakery, a wedding photographer and an art gallery all use the same trick.
Their Instagram and Facebook posts land on their website by themselves, so nobody has to update it.
Your website can look as fresh as your feed without any extra work.
Which of these three would you want your website to look like?
#smashballoon #smallbusiness #wordpress #instagramtips #websitedesign
Your followers see your posts. Most people landing on your website don`t.
That`s what we fix. Your Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube and reviews, live on your site and updating by themselves.
Here you`ll get what`s changing on social media and reviews, and the quick fixes that turn followers and reviews into customers.
What`s the one thing on your website you keep meaning to update?

$49.99 a month for a link 👀
Meta One`s Advanced plan adds clickable links in Instagram posts, but a lot of people search your name and check your site before they buy anyway.
Handy for shops, studios, cafes and trades who post every week and want their site to keep up.

How many did you count? 👀
Most of these website design mistakes are quick fixes, and nobody tells you they`re there. Customers just leave quietly.

Your best Google reviews might now be one sign-in screen away.
Google Maps has started asking some signed-out visitors to log in for the full review list or to sort it. It`s not everywhere yet, and Google hasn`t said why.
Worth knowing for salons, garages, cafes and trades who win work on reviews.
Have you hit the sign-in screen on Maps yet? #smashballoon #googlereviews #googlemaps #smallbusinesstips #onlinereviews
Customer posts used to disappear into your Tagged tab.
Now you can add tagged posts to your Instagram grid in one tap. They show up beside your own posts, marked with a small tag icon.
Handy if customers share your cakes, haircuts, builds or pottery. Those are the posts that sell for you.

Six stock photos on a landscaper`s work page, then the same page with their real jobs.
It`s a demo site I set up. The second version pulls in their Instagram, so last week`s patio shows up on the website without anyone uploading it twice.

Your Instagram feed can now take requests from ChatGPT or Claude.

It works through WPVibe, a free plugin, and comes with every Smash Balloon Instagram Feed Pro plan.
Your AI starts look-only until you turn on write access, and it can only ask to delete a feed. You make the final call.

Three things I`d change on a real bakery`s homepage, name blurred.
There are no reviews on it, the social section sends you off to Instagram, and the blog stopped in March last year. The pumpkin donuts up top are a nice touch though.

Instagram is testing an app that opens on Reels first, with your photo posts a swipe below.
Meta confirmed the test last week. It`s only live in a few countries so far, and there`s a way back to the old layout.
If you mostly post photos, a Reel made from five photos of one job is an easy place to start, and you won`t need to film anything.
Has it happened on your phone yet? #smashballoon #instagramopenstoreels #instagramtips
Your mouse hides a whole route.
Keyboard navigation on a website lets people reach every post with Tab and open it with Enter, including the shoppable ones with products attached.
Good to know for online boutiques, makers, and anyone selling straight from their feed.
How many presses did it take you? #keyboardnavigation #webaccessibility #instagramfeed #wordpress #smashballoon
Your homepage grid is the part of the site nobody checks.
When your Instagram feed is not updating, the plugin now flags it in your WordPress dashboard and can send a weekly report to anyone you add.
Handy for agencies and freelance social managers.

Two screens should never disagree about a start time.
Facebook event calendar sync copies the events from your page into a proper month view on your website, cover photos and all, so people can plan ahead.
Good for yoga studios, climbing gyms, community halls and bands with gig dates.

Typing back feels safer, but it`s the reply people forget first.
A voice message reply keeps the tone the customer started with, and a quick text afterwards can still carry the price or address.
Great for trades quoting from site, wedding suppliers, tutors and anyone whose customers explain things out loud.

A pretty feed that only opens a bigger photo leaves shoppers stuck.

Post it once on Facebook. Your website calendar fills itself.
If you run classes, gigs, open houses or weekly services, your Facebook Page probably gets every event first.
A lot of your website visitors want something else: a calendar where they can see the whole month and pick a date.
Smash Balloon Facebook Feed Pro 4.13.0 now works with Sugar Calendar.
Every event you post on Facebook shows up on your site with its date, time, location and cover photo.
A class that repeats every Saturday shows up every Saturday.
Move the time on Facebook and your calendar updates. Cancel it and it comes off.
No calendar plugin yet? Facebook Feed Pro installs the free Sugar Calendar in one click.
Events Sync comes with Facebook Feed Pro Elite and the All Access Bundle.
Nobody asks if you`re still open. They check your website and decide before the page even finishes loading.
An Instagram feed on your website puts your newest bakes right on the homepage and it updates by itself every time you post.
Same for cafes, florists, salons and barbers.
