A Fresh Season, A Fresh Horizon: Bright Horizon Creative Autumn/Winter 2025/26
… as the evenings draw in and the air turns crisp, I’m excited to share that the revamped Bright Horizon Creative website is ready to step into the new season.
The first week of September has always felt like the true start of Autumn/Winter to me — a season of reset, review, and renewal. (It also happens to be my birthday month, and yes, that makes me a Virgo — details and fresh starts are my love language.) Consider this article a little insight into the changes behind the scenes at BHC and the editorial-inspired colour story guiding us into the season ahead.
Why I Refresh My Website with the Seasons
Just as you might declutter your home, stock up the cupboards, and reorganise life at the start of September, I believe your website deserves the same seasonal reset.
Refreshing your online presence keeps things:
Fresh → returning visitors notice and engage with updates.
Aligned → your digital look evolves alongside your business journey.
Strategic → updates improve site performance, SEO, and user experience.
Inspiring → clients feel the mood of the season, and a website that matches that rhythm connects on a deeper level.
FAQ-style insight:
Why should I review my website each season?
Because your business is never static — and neither should your website be. Seasonal reviews ensure your brand stays relevant, engaging, and ready to convert.
The Autumn/Winter 2025/26 Colour Palette
This season, Bright Horizon Creative embraces a new editorial palette designed to feel rich, refined, and timeless.
Colour Hex Code Personality
Deep Aubergine #403858 Regal, majestic, creative depth
Cream #FAF9F6 Soft, clean, timeless balance
White #F3F3EB Fresh, breathable, light
Antique Gold #C2B280 Warm, confident, heritage-rich
Charcoal #2F2D2A Grounded, strong, authoritative
Together, these colours create an editorial luxury vibe:
Deep Aubergine adds drama and sophistication, like the velvet curtain of a theatre before the story begins.
Cream and White soften the stage, giving space and breath.
Antique Gold brings warmth, celebration, and just enough shimmer for the season.
Charcoal anchors everything, ensuring the palette feels professional, grounded, and confident.
The result? A balance between majestic richness and approachable elegance — a look that’s as at home in a glossy September magazine as it is on your screen.
What’s New on the BHC Website
With the new palette comes a refreshed website experience. Here’s what you’ll notice:
Updated Services — from Squarespace builds to Framer sites, plus half-day refreshes and reviews.
A refined Library of free resources — from the Brand Style Guide Starter Kit to the Website Strategy Workbook.
More editorial touches — animations, reveals, and layouts powered by SquareKicker to create a more luxurious, interactive experience.
These aren’t just cosmetic changes — they’re intentional updates designed to help you, my clients and readers, find inspiration and clarity.
Inspiration: The “September Issue”
In the fashion world, the September issue is the biggest and boldest of the year — a marker of fresh beginnings. That’s the spirit I wanted to capture for this season’s BHC update.
Think of this as my own September issue moment — new colours, refined services, a strong editorial identity, and a clear message: your next chapter online should feel just as refreshed as the season itself.
A Practical Reset for You
Since this season is about fresh starts, here are 3 quick things you can review on your own website this Autumn:
Update your images — do they still reflect your style, services, or season?
Check your copy — is it clear, client-centred, and current?
Test your load speed — images and plugins can slow things down; aim for under 3 seconds.
Tip: Even a small tweak — swapping out old photos or refreshing a heading — can make your website feel new again.
What’s Next
September is just the beginning. As the season unfolds, I’ll be sharing more insights, resources, and (yes) a special birthday-month gift for you.
In the meantime, I invite you to:
Explore the revamped website and see the new palette in action.
Download a free resource from the BHC Library to kickstart your own refresh.
Reach out if you’re ready for a seasonal website update of your own.
Because just beyond the horizon, there’s always a new season waiting — and it deserves to be seen in its best light.
