The Squarespace Email Campaigns tool is intuitive and doesn't require any prior understanding of HTML or CSS.

At PixelHaze Academy, we love to demystify technology, so when we are presented with two intuitive, creative powerhouses in Canva and Squarespace, we just have to look into the possibility of creating a free mini-course combining the two.

The result is our new course, available for free on YouTube, showing you easy-to-follow ways of stretching the functionality of both applications and integrating Canva and Squarespace together to get the most out of their features to make your website look polished and unique. We have poured our creative heart and soul into this project, and we hope these concepts will be the rocket fuel that launches your digital project.

Why use Canva?

Canva is a desktop publishing piece of software that allows you to create custom graphics through your web browser, or through the tablet and mobile app. Canva is a great tool for reasons such as its ease of use, giant stock image, graphic library, and versatility. Since you can use it via your website browser, it avoids the necessity of downloading resource-hogging applications.

Why use Squarespace?

Squarespace is a website builder that allows you to create sleek, design-led, responsive websites using a scalable interface that is both inviting for newcomers and a powerhouse for seasoned experts. Like Canva, you can use it via your website browser so no need to download huge pieces of software.
 
Who is the course for?

The course is for both beginners and seasoned designers. Those who have dabbled in both Canva and Squarespace separately will find immense value in integrating the two together.
