DIY | Zone: My No-Fluff Library for People Who Want to Do It Themselves

DIY
Written By Sarah Foubert

More and more creatives and small businesses (and even bigger businesses) are keen to take their online presence into their own hands. It saves tons of money not having to employ a webmaster and it gives you control over what you post, when you post it and what it looks like.

Whether you’re launching a site, trying to improve your SEO, or just want to figure out how to edit your own blog posts confidently, the DIY | Zone is your creative sandbox. It’s full of resources I’ve built while working with clients — from code snippets to downloadable PDFs to walkthrough videos that explain things properly.

What Is the DIY | Zone?

A self-serve area on my website with short guides, template downloads, code snippets, and beginner-friendly walkthroughs. Think of it like a toolkit — one that grows with you.

Who Is It For?

⪢ Squarespace users who want to make changes without hiring a developer

⪢ Creative freelancers and small business owners who want control of their site

⪢ DIY-ers who like to learn, pause, repeat

What You’ll Find Inside

Growing collection of walkthroughs and explainers.

Step-by-step guides for SEO, Instagram, Buffer & more.

Templates and downloads (some free, some paid).

 

Why I Created It

Because not everyone wants a full rebrand. Some just need the tools to make it work. And I’ve spent years repeating the same advice — so now, I’ve packaged it up, made it clearer, and added coffee-friendly videos for you to follow when it suits you.

I’m a photographer and Squarespace web designer based in Altrincham, South Manchester. I specialise in portrait, landscape and opera photography and also offer a “complete website package” where I can offer headshots, photos of your business and design your new website so you can manage it yourself afterwards.

Over the years I’ve built a portfolio career as a professional photographer, opera singer, wardrobe assistant and singing teacher. I have a MMus from the RNCM, a Bachelor in Theatre Sciences and Musicology from Ghent University and I’m a qualified teacher. When my son was born in 2021 I quickly realised that an opera career wasn’t as compatible with being a mum as much as I would like, so I decided to change my focus completely to photography and web design.

I prefer working with daylight in casual surroundings while having a chat making sure you’re at ease and relaxed. It’s the little moments in between that make the best shots!
