As we step into 2026, we wanted to pause for a moment and reflect on December at Oh My Hi — and on a year that brought so much growth, refinement, and clarity.
2025 was a year of leaning into what matters most: helping business owners show up online with confidence, simplicity, and systems that actually support real life. Below is a quick December recap, plus a sneak peek at what’s ahead as we kick off the new year.
📝 New Blog Post: How to Choose a Domain Name
Choosing a domain name can feel like a big, intimidating step — especially if you’re building (or rebuilding) your online home. But it doesn’t have to be complicated.
In our latest blog post, we break down:
- Why your domain name is the foundation of your online presence
- How to keep it simple, clear, and brand-friendly
- When using your name gives you the most long-term flexibility
- Why a custom domain is required for compliant email marketing in the U.S. and Canada
If a website refresh — or your very first site — is part of your 2026 vision, this is a great place to start.
🎄 December Tutorial Drop: The Holiday Hub Pattern
In December, we released a brand-new Holiday Hub pattern + tutorial — designed to help you publish a festive, ready-to-share page without starting from scratch.
This pattern makes it easy to:
- Create a seasonal or holiday hub page
- Share a freebie or limited-time offer
- Highlight products, tools, or recommendations
- Reuse the page year after year with a quick refresh
While it launched during the holidays, this pattern is incredibly flexible and can be repurposed for any seasonal moment throughout the year.
💛 A 2025 Reflection from the Founders
As we reflected on the past year, one theme kept coming up again and again:
Your website should support your life and business — not add more pressure.
In 2025, we focused heavily on simplifying how you show up online and creating tools that feel approachable, flexible, and genuinely usable — even if web design is not your thing (because let’s be real… most of us didn’t start our businesses to become website experts).
That mindset is carrying straight into 2026, with an even bigger emphasis on:
Websites that quietly work behind the scenes while you focus on what you actually love about your business
Simpler publishing
Clearer paths for your audience
🌟 User Spotlight: Jen’s Blog Momentum
One of our favorite December highlights? Watching Jen launch her website and blog — and seeing her very first post spark 50+ comments. 👀💬
Jen’s launch is a perfect example of why we still recommend blogs as part of a modern content strategy.
A blog:
- Invites conversation
- Builds trust faster
- Gives your audience somewhere to go next
When done simply and intentionally, a blog becomes a powerful connection tool — not just another thing on your to-do list.
✨ What’s Coming in January (and Beyond)
As we kick off 2026, we’re excited to roll out updates and education designed to help your website do even more of the heavy lifting for you.
Here’s a little preview of what’s coming:
- New guidance on using your website as a true communication hub
- Expanded education around texting and follow-up workflows
- An upcoming Project Broadcast integration, making it easier to connect your website with text marketing and customer communication
Our goal is simple: fewer disconnected tools, and smoother systems that work together behind the scenes.
More details coming soon 👀
Here’s to a Supportive Website in 2026 ✨

Here’s to clarity, confidence, and a website that truly supports your goals in 2026.
