MAJOR UPDATES FOR SPRING 2023!

Squarespace… Squarespace always changes.

Here are some of the new additions to the Squarespace Box of Tricks Course over the past few months:

  • Fluid Engine
  • Live Projects
  • Spark Plugin
  • Combining Canva & Squarespace

We have more on the horizon, including:

  • Page-building in Squarespace
  • Squarespace & AI Tools
  • Additional Live Projects
  • Squarespace Templates – Reverse Engineered

We have also taken on board your feedback and have been working on the production quality of our new videos, especially in relation to sound quality. After building a purpose-built Soundbooth and upgrading our studio for video content, we feel we are finally making good headway.

Thanks for your patience, and we hope you enjoy 🙂

Our box of tricks series is less formal than some of our other series, with a focus on design tips, development techniques and essential shortcuts.

It has taken Squarespace Authorised Trainer, Elwyn Davies, decades to collate and refine some of these concepts. Still, you can now cut a few corners without any reduction in the quality of your final Squarespace website.

We shall go way beyond the Starting templates, exploring bespoke aspects like custom code, Professional design practice and third-party plug-ins from some of the very best Squarespace developers around the globe. All of these videos are one-take sessions, intending to mirror the informality and flexibility of our PixelHaze one-to-one workshops.

We will also be building this box of tricks course into a massive library over several months to eventually include all aspects of Squarespace, which of course Includes the new 7.1 interface. I will also be giving you an insight into some of the third-party software and design tips that I have picked up over my many years of running a web design agency. If the library is still relatively small when you first enrol, please check back regularly as we will be adding at least 4-5 lectures per month.

Come and join us. It should be fun! let’s crack on… 🙂
