Hey everyone, Elwyn here. Members of our coaching community will have already received this news, but I just wanted to share an update here as well for everyone in the DIY community, which is staying right where it is. Every so often, the team and I take time to review how things are running across Pixelhaze Academy, Pixelhaze Studio, and our Skool communities. This year’s review showed that we’ve been spreading our time across too many areas. We’re now simplifying things so that this free community receives more of our focus and support. Here’s what’s happening: The DIY community stays exactly as it is, completely free and open to all. You will continue to get guides, resources, and regular updates to help you build or improve your Squarespace website at your own pace. You’ll start to see more free help and direct support here. As the coaching group merges into this community, we’ll post more Q&A threads, tutorials and tips to give you better guidance while you build. Our Done-With-You support is changing to a pay-as-you-go model. If you ever need one-to-one help, you’ll soon be able to book short, affordable sessions when you need them. There’s no ongoing plan, just expert help when you need it. Our Done-For-You projects continue through Pixelhaze Studio. This is ideal for anyone who wants a full, professional website built and managed from start to finish. If you were part of the old coaching programme, you’re still covered. Please send me a direct message here on Skool, and we’ll arrange a one-on-one session to ensure you have everything you need. Our goal is simple: to help more people, with clear options and better focus. If you haven’t already, sign up at pixelhaze.academy for updates, free resources, and early access to book sessions once the new system is live. Thanks for being part of this community and for continuing to support what we’re building together. Cheers, Elwyn

Just a quick note to share that SquareForge now has complete templates available. If you’ve been following the project, up until now it’s been more of a toolkit. With these new templates, you can pick up a finished structure and start building straight away. No need to piece things together from scratch. They’re live now at squareforge.net. Cheers, Elwyn

New Template and Plugin support thread for Squarespace users: If you have purchased a Squarespace plugin or template from PixelHaze.Academy, Squareforge.net or Squarewebsites.org, feel free to leave any questions here and we’ll do our best to help! Cheers, Elwyn

Here's how we use the 60-30-10 rule to anchor a white and blue-themed web design (for Stour). Keep your base colour at 60 percent, a secondary colour at 30 percent, then add 10 percent of an accent for contrast. This can give your site a clean, focused look. - 60%: White (in this example) - 30%: Brand colour - 10%: Accent colour for highlights or calls to action The calls to action will stand out with this approach. Have you tried this approach in your design?

Now that the summer break’s winding down (for those of us up north of the equator), it’s a good time to get clear on what you actually want to move the needle on before the end of the year. I’m hearing the same handful of targets from designers and small business owners: - Finally revamping the website - Giving SEO some proper attention - Getting consistent on social media - Training AI content so it sounds like you - Pressing the big scary red button and taking the site live Those are the big hitters. But maybe your autumn focus is something else entirely. What’s the one thing that, if you nailed it before Christmas, would make the biggest difference to your business? Drop it in the comments. I’m curious to see what’s coming up for everyone. I will get back to everyone who leaves a comment with a series of tips and a personalised plan. Cheers, Elwyn
