Nine Years In: A New Chapter, New Fonts, and a Thank You from Heybi

We started Heybi in 2017 with a simple idea: bloggers deserve visuals that don't get in their way. Nine years later, that idea hasn't really changed. What's changed is how much we've learned about what "not getting in the way" actually means.

In the early days, it meant clean layouts and code that didn't slow anyone down. Over time, it grew into something more specific: understanding that a template isn't just a theme, it's the frame around someone's writing, their portfolio, their small business, their years of posts. That's a responsibility we've tried to take seriously without making a big deal out of it. We're not trying to be the biggest name in Blogger themes. We just want to keep showing up, year after year, for the people quietly building something of their own.

Twelve templates later, from Carter to Voco, we're still doing the same work we started with. Just with more practice.

Something new: fonts 😌

This year, we're adding a category we've wanted to explore for a while: fonts.

If you've used our templates, you already know we care about typography. It's one of the quieter details that shapes how a blog feels to read. So it made sense to eventually build something in that space on its own, not just paired with a template, but as a resource you can bring into any project.

Our first collection leans toward personality without losing readability. Some, like Bluncik and Kinley, are quieter and more structural, easy to sit comfortably in a header or body text. Others, like Wild Youth and Puff Zille, have more character, better suited for a specimen headline or a small brand mark. There's a geometric simplicity running through most of them: shapes that feel intentional, not decorative for the sake of it.

Fonts will keep growing as their own thing on Heybi, alongside templates, not instead of them.

A redesigned store

We also just finished rebuilding heybi.com from the ground up.

The old site did its job, but it was starting to feel like it was carrying more than it needed to. So we rebuilt it lighter and faster, with a cleaner way to browse templates and fonts side by side. You can now preview a template live before buying, test a font directly on the page, and add things to your cart without leaving where you are.

It's not a flashy redesign. It's just easier to use, which was really the whole point.

To mark nine years, 90% off everything

We wanted to do something for this milestone that felt worth it, not just a small nod but something that actually means something if you've been waiting to pick up a template or try our fonts.

So from September 20 to October 4, 2026, everything at heybi.com is 90% off. Every template, every font, no minimum purchase required.

To claim it, use the code HEYBITURNS90 at checkout. The discount applies automatically once the code is entered, on any item in the store.

This is only running at heybi.com, and only for two weeks, so if there's something you've had bookmarked, this is a good time.

Thank you for nine years!

None of this happens without the people who've used our templates to build something of their own. Blogs, portfolios, small shops, personal projects we may never see, but we think about often.

Here's to nine years, a new font shelf, a cleaner store, and whatever comes next. Thanks for being part of it.
