A change is gonna come...
I want to say a huge thank you to our 79 founding members. You may have noticed that this community has switched to paid, but as a thank you for jumping in early and giving Pixelhaze DIY Community (formerly Website Builders) a chance, you will always have FREE access, for life. ā¤ļø It may have been a little quiet over the past month or so, but our team have been busy behind the scenes taking onboard your feedback (and learning how Skool works). The great news is we are now in a position to move full speed ahead! Here are the highlights of what this new DIY Community offers: šŖ We are expanding the community from website builders to cover all aspects of digital marketing (still including our huge range of Squarespace and Hostinger content). š All of our Udemy courses (currently over 12) will be available as soon as you join this community. In the coming weeks, we will also create courses organising and delivering over 300 of our YouTube videos. š„ Anyone who reaches level 6 in this community gets 3 months free in our Pixelhaze Coaching Community (worth nearly $300). šµ This community has now switched to $15 per month, but if you are already in, you get it free for life! š² We are running a launch campaign - $1 October - for our next 100 members. They will gain access to this community for only $1 per month for life. If you have any friends, family or clients who you think we may be able to help, let them know to earn some brownie points! So now it is over to you, have any questions or content ideas on Squarespace, Canva, AI, Graphic Design or SEO? Give us a shout and we are here to help! Let's crack on! Elwyn

Transform AI-Generated Images with Photoshop
AI images can feel too polished/simpleāgood for a start, but they often need a human touch to stand out. Hereās a tutorial showing how to add extra detail and fix issues in Photoshop. 1. Start with the Canvas: Use the Crop Tool to add space, then try Generative Expand to fill the gaps. 2. Tidy Up the AI Artifacts: Clean up extra fingers or odd textures with the Spot Healing Brush or Clone Stamp Tool. 3. Enhance the Background: Select it, use Generative Fill for stars, or drop in your own elements like planets or flames, blending with Adjustment Layers. 4. Get the Retro Look: Add bold color gradients and adjust tones with Replace Color or Gradient Maps. 5. Finish Strong: Add subtle film grain (Filter > Noise) and a vignette with the Burn Tool for that retro finish. š” Tip: Small details like glow effects or subtle grain can make a big difference. Jump into Photoshop and give it a go! Got questions or want feedback? Post your work here... Cheers, Elwyn

Why Image Compression Still Matters in 2024
Hi all š Weāve had a few good questions about image compression in our coaching community (https://skool.com/pixelhaze-community), so letās tackle why itās still important and how to approach itāespecially if youāre using platforms like Squarespace. Why Does It Matter? If your site loads slowly, visitors wonāt stick around. Google notices this, too, and your rankings can take a hit. A faster site = happier visitors = better SEO. But the balance depends on your audience: - Quick purchases? Speed is everything. - Creative portfolios? Quality needs to shine, so donāt over-compress. My Workflow for Squarespace Hereās how I handle image optimization without overcomplicating it: 1. Crop Before Uploading: Use the Squarespace photo editor to trim down your imagesāno need to load what wonāt be visible. 2. External Compression: I use Compressor.io to reduce file sizes without losing quality. 3. Organize Your Library: Keep compressed images in a folder within Squarespace for quick access. Canva UsersāA Heads Up! Canva is great for creating designs, but its compression tools arenāt the best. Instead: - Export images at high quality (90% or higher). - Compress them externally before uploading to Squarespace. Whatās Your Workflow? Iād love to hear how you manage your images. Are you using other tools? Have you seen improvements in speed or rankings after optimizing? Drop your thoughts or questions below. If youāre new here, remember that The Classroom section has loads of resources to help with these challenges. Cheers, Elwyn
