Scale of control refers to how many design elements and how much they can be controlled through the standard Squarespace interface, without custom coding skills. XS = Extra Small, and so on up to XL = Extra Large.
Fixed navbar means that the navigation bar will stay visible even after scrolling.
Page Titles refers to whether the Page Title and Page Description that you set using Page Settings will be shown.
