Hyperdrive video tutorials ready to take off

Why This Matters

Imagine this: you’ve finally got the website sorted, the images look sharp, your payments are ticking along nicely, and you’re convinced you’ll never need to go back into Squarespace for at least another year. But life happens, and suddenly, you need to update a price, download an invoice for the accountant, or (my personal favourite) remember how on earth to get back into your own site. If that scenario rings a bell, you’re not alone.

This is more common than you might think, especially for people who run their website alongside a towering stack of daily jobs. For many of our clients at PixelHaze Academy, Squarespace is something you dip into, not live inside. Which means, when you do need to tweak something, basic tasks can become bigger headaches than they should be. Every minute spent clicking around, peering through menus, or trawling old help docs is more time lost to faffing and less spent on your actual work.

There’s a hidden cost here, both in time and stress. And once frustration sets in, the urge to throw your hands up and avoid the job entirely becomes hard to resist. That’s exactly why we launched the Hyperdrive video tutorials. They're quick, cut through the noise, and help you get things sorted without the wait.

Common Pitfalls

Ask anyone who’s run a site for a while and you’ll hear a familiar refrain: “I built it, but every time I pop back, I've forgotten the basics.” Squarespace might feel like second nature to daily users, but for everyone else, remembering where the buttons are (never mind figuring out new features) is no small feat. Here are a few of the classic stumbling blocks we see in our studio:

  1. Password Panic
    Not quite remembering the right login page or password and tumbling down the rabbit hole of password resets.

  2. Invoice Hide-and-Seek
    Needing a copy of an invoice and spending ages trying to find the billing section.

  3. Image Wrangling
    Wanting to plonk a new photo on a page, only to get tangled in the difference between an image block and page background.

  4. Over-complicating Edits
    Forgetting there are quick ways to swap content around, and instead, clicking through endless options out of habit or confusion.

  5. Relying on Old How-tos
    Using out-of-date tutorials (or that wobbly memory from the last time), which inevitably leads to dead ends when the interface has moved on.

Most people convince themselves these are “small things” until they sap the better part of an afternoon. The Hyperdrive approach helps you sidestep that entirely.

Step-by-Step Fix

Below, you’ll find a practical breakdown of how to use the Hyperdrive videos to sidestep these time-sinks and stay in control of your Squarespace site, even if you only log in when the daffodils are out.

1. Find Hyperdrive Video Tutorials the Easy Way

No treasure maps required. All Hyperdrive videos are freely available on our YouTube channel and will soon be plugged directly into the PixelHaze Campus for students. They’re grouped into easy-to-navigate playlists by topic: Invoices, Images, Logging In, and more.

Pixelhaze Tip:
Bookmark the channel or your favourite playlist. That way, the next time you’re in a hurry, you won’t need to hunt for help. The answers are just two clicks away. If you use Chrome, right-click the tab and pin it for even speedier access.
💡

2. Each Video is Under 60 Seconds; Watch, Don’t Waffle

We’ve all suffered through tutorial videos that could double as feature length films. Hyperdrive exists because life’s too short for fluff. Each video focuses on a single, specific task. No introductions, no lengthy preamble—just a straightforward walkthrough: do this, then that. Done.

Pixelhaze Tip:
Listen with a notebook nearby (digital or paper). Jot down the step or keyboard click that trips you up. That way, every time you revisit the video, you can skip straight to the bit you actually need.
💡

3. Apply the Step Instantly; Keep the Tab Open

Once you’ve watched a Hyperdrive video, try the task right away on your own site. Watching alone isn't enough—getting hands on is the best way to make it stick. Muscle memory (and a bit of mild panic) is a much better teacher than passive viewing.

Pixelhaze Tip:
Use two browser windows side by side: one for the tutorial, one for your Squarespace dashboard. This simple tweak turns a tutorial into a live, custom walkthrough for your own site.
💡

4. Stack Hyperdrives for Bigger Jobs

Some jobs have more than one moving part. For example, adding a new staff member page might involve uploading an image, formatting some text, customising a button, and updating the navigation. Instead of rewatching the same long explainer or combing through forum posts, you can chain together several Hyperdrive clips, each on its own step.

Pixelhaze Tip:
Build a ‘mini run-through’ playlist, either in YouTube itself or via a note on your phone. That way, next time you need to repeat a tricky task, it takes five minutes, not forty.
💡

5. Use Hyperdrives as Refresher Appendices to Bigger Courses

Already completed something like our Box of Tricks course? Hyperdrive works as your memory jolt for those “What was that menu sequence again?” moments. Instead of replaying an entire module, dip into the 60-second refresher, get unstuck, and slingshot straight back to productive work.

Pixelhaze Tip:
If you’ve taken PixelHaze courses, keep a list of the Hyperdrive tutorials that relate to each chapter for speedy lookups. Digital sticky notes on your desktop work a treat.
💡

6. Don’t Wait for a Crisis; Browse When Calm

The best way to become confident with your site is to watch a few Hyperdrive videos when you’re not up against it. Learn how to do something before you need it, and you’ll save yourself boatloads of stress later.

Pixelhaze Tip:
Make it your mission to spend just five minutes with a Hyperdrive playlist of your choice each Friday, even if you don’t need to edit the site. It all adds up.
💡

What Most People Miss

It’s easy to assume the smartest plan is learning the whole platform inside out, but that’s a recipe for overwhelm if web design isn’t your core job. What people often forget: encyclopedic knowledge is not required here. You just need the right answer at the right time. Mastery, in this context, means knowing where to look, not memorising every button.

Our most successful clients aren’t the ones who “know everything” about Squarespace. They’ve simply got a rhythm: spot a problem, look up just what’s needed, apply it, and move on. The rest is trivia (or someone else’s headache).

The Bigger Picture

Over the years, we've seen what a huge difference a bit of timely help can make. When small tasks stop growing into major jobs, you get breathing room to focus on the real substance of your business—whether that's getting paid, updating content, or just making your website a little more welcoming.

Hyperdrive videos are not about turning you into a designer or developer. The real aim is to give you back your time and help you skip that spiral of “I'll fix it later” that ends up costing clients, trust, and sanity. As soon as those annoying tasks stop feeling like a big drama, you’ll notice you want to keep your site fresher, try out new things, and move with the times. No more dreading the learning curve.

There will be times you hit something meaty. When that happens, use Hyperdrive for quick wins and lean on the more in-depth Box of Tricks courses for a deeper understanding. These systems work together: Hyperdrive gives you a quick jolt when you’re stuck, Box of Tricks is there for the days you want to properly dig in and build skills.

Wrap-Up

To put it simply: we made Hyperdrive tutorials because we saw too many people feeling daft or annoyed at their own sites. And life is busy enough without squinting at another rambling “how-to” video. Instead, you get simple, sharp, one-minute instructions, sorted by problem and ready whenever you are.

If you take nothing else from this, know that you don’t need to be an expert to keep your website tidy and up to date. You just need the right fix at the right moment.

FAQs

Q: How can I download my invoices from Squarespace?
A: Go to your account dashboard, look for the Billing or Payments section, and you’ll see an option to view and download invoices. If that sounds vague, check the Hyperdrive playlist for a 60-second “How to Download Invoices” clip.

Q: What’s the fastest way to reset my password?
A: On the Squarespace login page, use the “Forgot your password?” link. The system will email you a reset link. We’ve condensed this into a short Hyperdrive video for those who forget (which, let’s face it, is most of us at some point).

Q: I want to add an image, but I’m not sure which block to use?
A: Use the Image Block for standard photos on your pages. For banners or page backgrounds, use the section or background settings. Our related Hyperdrive videos walk you through both, step by step.
