WINTER2022 UPDATE!

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to all students who have supported this course since its early stages.

Squarespace... Squarespace always changes.

Creating a course for Squarespace is a bit like painting the Forth Bridge(the Scottish-based Forth Bridge is so long that once the painters reach one end, they have to begin again at the other). Due to fundamental and mostly positive changes to Squarespace 7.1, we have needed to focus on building the following new modules, which we are delighted to announce, are now complete:

• Getting started

• Page building

• Summary blocks

The new modules bring the course bang up to date, and additionally, we have the following in the pipeline for winter and spring 2022:

• The new style editor

• List blocks

• Content blocks

• Stretching Squarespace

As requested by our Box of Tricks students, 'Stretching Squarespace' will crank the difficulty up one or two notches, showcasing some of the more advanced techniques that we use at PixelHaze studio to squeeze every last drop from Squarespace. This will cover everything from adding custom code, working with the chrome property inspector and some effective workarounds to provide you with more flexibility in your designs.

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 :)

Elwyn and the PixelHaze Academy team

--------

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... :)
