how do i create my website with this template?

Showit is, hands down, the best of the best in online website design platforms. It’s powered by Wordpress, which is the most popular content management system online. With virtually no design limitations, Showit gives you the freedom of a custom design and build—without any of the custom coding. That’s right, babe. Code free.

what is showit? is it easy to use?

Hosting is included with your Showit subscription, which you’ll purchase here, separately from your gorgeous new template. You’ll keep your domain wherever it currently is (for example, GoDaddy), and Showit will actually connect it for you when you’re done customizing your new template!

With Wordpress! Drag and drop to your heart’s content in Showit while your website is automatically built behind the scenes in Wordpress. And if your blog was built in Wordpress, just transfer it in a few clicks!

SUPER customizable! You’re not strapped to the template style or layout, pinky promise. You can change colours, fonts, photos, add new sections or delete sections you don’t need to make it your own.

Showit may not be the best fit if you’re building an e-commerce site with dozens of products. But if you’re selling a handful of digital products? Showit will manage them like a boss.

can i create an e-commerce shop?

The photos in each template aren’t included, but you’d want to swap those out anyways! Photos bring your brand spirit and logo to life with real-life humans. Don’t know where to start with photos? Hire my girl Alyssa Dawson to shoot on-brand photos for your business! 📸

do i get to use the photos included?

Yes, and I recommend it! With a couple of clicks, you can swap out all of the colours and fonts for your brand’s. And if you don’t have a brand yet, you can bundle your template with my Blissfully Branded course 🙃

can i use my own fonts and colours?

I’ve bottled over five years of graphic design experience into these drop-dead gorgeous, user-friendly Showit website templates. Each one was professionally designed with you in mind, and the price reflects that custom-level design (but without the price tag of a totally custom site which runs upwards of $7,500).

why are your templates in a higher price range?

do you offer payment plans?

I want you to be able to have the website of your dreams! And if all that’s standing in the way of that is a payment plan, send me an email at hello@danielleconnor.com and we’ll get you on your way to that gorgeous site!

If you don’t want to DIY, I offer a Brand + Semi-Custom Website package. We’ll design a custom brand, then apply your new brand to one of my website templates, saving you a pretty penny. Get all the details here!

can you help me customize my website?

We all get by with a little help from our friends, and Showit’s customer service team is next level. You’ll also find video tutorials on how to use Showit, customize your individual template, and get rockin and rollin’!

what kind of support or tutorials are there?

Showit! They’ll migrate your old website and blog posts from Wordpress or Squarespace for FREE. They make it oh-so-easy with step-by-step instructions on how to request your transfer.

who transfers over my old website/blog?

First, you’re going to need a strong brand (a mood board, fonts, colours, logos)—don’t have that yet? Grab my Blissfully Branded course where I’ll show you how to create yours! 
Second, you’ll need all the photos and copy (that’s web lingo for “text”) for your website. Looking for a brand photographer? Hire my girl Alyssa Dawson! Looking for a copywriter? Gemini Branding wrote all my copy for this site! I can’t stress the importance of quality photos and copy across a website. Photos will make or break your website, regardless of how strategically and beautifully designed your template may be. 
Third, you’ll need a few of the nitty-gritty elements. You’ll want to make sure you have a Showit subscription (which you can snag here). While there’s no need to worry about hosting (that’s included with your Showit subscription!), you will need a domain name. I recommend purchasing that through GoDaddy, and Showit will connect it to your new website for you!

what other things am i going to need to go along with my website?
