Pixels Editorial Process

Pixels was founded in January 2024 by Ricky Figueroa as a go-to beehiiv resource site for newbies and DIY users.

Over the last 2+ years, Pixels has become the world's leading newsletter design service, and it is often referred to as the goat for beehiiv design.

In 2026, we joined the 929 family, a company created by our founder, Ricky Figueroa, to offer premier software and training for newsletter publishers, creators, and founders.

At Pixels, our main goal is to provide cutting-edge, helpful beehiiv tutorials that are easy to understand for non-techie beehiiv website (and newsletter) owners.


Our Editorial Team and Editorial Process

Our editorial team at Pixels is a group of beehiiv experts led by the most well-known newsletter design expert in the world, Ricky Figueroa.

Pixels Editorial staff includes a dedicated team of senior designers, CRO specialists, writers, and editors with over a decade of experience in conversion-focused design and online marketing.

Unlike other copycat tutorial websites, our team is full of true beehiiv practitioners. We are passionate about the beehiiv community.

Our highly-skilled editorial team manages every piece of content we publish at Pixels. Before publishing, our content goes through different phases of the editorial process. And each editorial phase is managed by multiple team members, ensuring the content is thoroughly fact-checked and reviewed for accuracy and integrity.


How We Test and Review Products

We actually test and use all the products that we recommend in our content. We take our responsibility to our readers very seriously. We extensively review each service or tool that we cover here on Pixels to ensure it’s the best solution for our audience.

In our research process, we sign up and install the tools on our test websites, so we can evaluate the features, ease-of-use, and other functionality carefully. We also analyze both industry expert opinions as well as user opinions about individual products to enhance our tests. This allows us to dedicate extra time and attention to areas that need it the most.

When comparing products, we run a wide-variety of tests including performance tests, speed tests, reliability checks, and scalability tests to ensure that our reviews are the best in the industry. This is why beehiiv users trust Pixels.

We only recommend products that we believe will add value to our readers. All opinions are our own, and we DO NOT accept payments for positive reviews. Unlike other websites, you simply cannot pay for a sponsored article or buy an advertising spot on Pixels. This ensures our content quality is always the best in the industry.

Every piece of content, including our articles and videos, is created by an expert Pixels contributor whose specific area of expertise aligns with the content topic.


We Fact Check for Accuracy and Integrity

Our editors review each content to ensure it’s thorough, contains accurate facts, and also adhere to our strict editorial guidelines.

After the editors’ review, as a final check, each content is re-reviewed by the Senior Content Manager for accuracy and integrity.

On top of that, our Review Board closely works with our editorial team and provides the necessary details they need to ensure all our content is top-notch.

All improvements and suggestions offered by the board team members are shared directly with our editorial team.


Up-to-Date Content

At Pixels, we strive our best to ensure our content is always up-to-date. Every few months, we routinely monitor our existing content and ensure all information, including original screenshots, is relevant and updated.


How is Pixels Funded?

Running a resource website and newsletter like Pixels that helps thousands of users every month requires significant investment.

Both on the infrastructure part as well as on the content creation part.

Our team creates and maintains all of our free (and premium) written beehiiv tutorials and videos tutorials.

So yes, we have to make money otherwise we would have to shut the site down. Below are three primary sources that fund Pixels.
