Shopify websites that aren't boring as hell. Get your brand together. 🦄✨

You missed the workshops?
Good news: we saved the receipts. 💋
All three workshop replays are officially up on the Hot Mess YouTube channel (), ready whenever you have approximately 47 tabs open but decide to learn something anyway.
We talked marketing, inventory + buying, smoother operations and a whole lotta real-life business stuff that doesn’t always make it into the cute Instagram posts. 👀
And if you DID catch them live? Consider this your excuse to go back for round two because there were a whole lotta gems dropped in there.
Hot Ecomm Goss is our place for all the Shopify, branding, metrics, merchandising, operations, marketing + behind-the-scenes ecomm goss we can’t stop talking about.
Watch on YouTube or listen on Spotify + Apple Podcasts. Put an episode on while you pack orders, answer emails, avoid answering emails… whatever works.

More episodes are coming to YouTube + the podcast, so stay tuned. We’ve got a lot more goss to spill. ☕️
Soooo… how is it already October?
There are officially 3 months left in 2026, which means that thing you’ve been saying you’ll “get to this year” has entered the chat.
Maybe it’s the website that still feels like the old version of your business.
Maybe the branding needs a little more you.
Maybe your storefront is giving ✨THE EXPERIENCE✨ while your online presence is giving… we’ll deal with that later.
You don’t need to reinvent the whole business before January.
But you can stop carrying the same “we really need to fix that” into another year.
Three months. Plenty of time to make some moves.
Do it for the brand.

When your clients are THIS excited about their new website… yeah, this is why we do what we do. 🥹💖
Seeing Emily + Aaron this excited to show off their new website had our little Hot Mess hearts VERY happy.
And honestly? These two were a freaking joy to work with from start to finish. They’re passionate about what they do, they know exactly who they are + they weren’t afraid to let their brand get a little weird. Which, obviously, we LOVE. 💅
So we took all that colorful, whimsical, slightly gothic SOAK'N SWEETS energy and brought it online. Branding that actually feels like them, easier navigation + a bunch of fun little moments that make the whole thing feel unmistakably SOAK'N SWEETS.
Not just a prettier website. THEIR website.
We love the people. We love the brand. We love the website. And yes, the Hot Mess team is already eyeing their products too. 👀
Go see the new Soak ’N Sweets site + all their weird, wonderful goodies for yourself. 💖

Meet the human behind the magic. ✨
Next up is Gloria, or Glo.
Gloria is our Junior Graphic Designer and Artist in Training, and she’s all about the finishing touches that make a project feel complete.
She helps carry websites across the finish line after the homepage is approved, adds those signature little extras, and has officially claimed Canva templates as her baby.
She’s a creative through and through. Give her watercolor, florals, bold details, and all the extra elements and she is very happy. Her philosophy is pretty simple too: be weird. Weird is good. 🌈
When she’s not designing, she’s usually making art, spending time with her kids, or picking up yet another creative hobby.
Watercolor, acrylic, gouache, polymer clay, resin jewelry… she dabbles in pretty much everything. She also has a soft spot for all things 90s, especially Lisa Frank, Polly Pockets, and bell bottom jeans.
If you’ve ever wondered who’s adding those final creative details and making sure a project feels polished, playful, and finished… now you know.
Drop Gloria a 👋 in the comments and help us show her some love! 💗

Okay boo, this is your “you’re not too late” reminder.
If “fix the website” has been on your to-do list for wayyyyy too long, consider this your sign to finally cross that sh*t off.
Our Client Appreciation deals are still going, which means you can save up to $750 on your brand + Shopify overhaul through September 30th.
And no, a shiny new website isn’t going to magically fix a business that isn’t working. But if the business is growing, the orders are coming in, and your website is the part that hasn’t caught up yet?
Yeah. We should probably talk. 👀
If you’ve been thinking about making the move, this is the time.
After that? Back to our regularly scheduled pricing. 💅
You’re not too late, but you are running out of September. And your website isn't gonna overhaul itself.
Hit the link in our bio for all the deets. 💖
IT’S OFFICIAL. THE GOSS HAS BEGUN. 🎙️
Our very first episode of HOT ECOM GOSS is LIVE!
And naturally, we’re starting with:
Episode 1: All the Hot Mess Lore
For our first episode, Angela + Jessica are taking it alllll the way back. How Hot Mess started. How they first crossed paths. Jessica’s boutique-owner era (and the time she literally ghosted Hot Mess as a client 😂). How she somehow went from “retiring” to joining the team.
Plus, all the business lessons that came with it — knowing what actually deserves your time, building a team around what people are REALLY good at, evolving your brand as your business grows + why your website should feel human as hell.
Basically, it’s the Hot Mess lore you didn’t know you needed.
🎧 Listen to HOT ECOM GOSS on Spotify + Apple Podcasts.
And trust us, we’ve got a LOT more ecom goss to spill. This is only episode one.
