CUSTOM BRAND + WEB DESIGN FOR CREATIVES

Whether you're an entrepreneur, service provider, creative, or business owner, my custom Showit website design packages were created to help you give your audience the ol' razzle dazzle. 

custom SHOWIT website design for creatives

Setting the stage for your 

unique contribution.

If you’ve spent any time DIY-ing your website, you know the struggle; the existential crisis when you can't decide which font you like better, the late nights searching deep into internet forums for CSS codes that promise to solve everything and never do, and all of it taking so long that you’re already second guessing the aesthetic you’ve created (and wondering if it even represents your business well) by the time it finally gets launched.

Bestie, I gotchu. 

A great website needs to attract your dream clients, convert visitors into fans, AND you have to be so obsessed with it that you can't wait to share it everywhere, all the time.Together, let's create a ShowIt website that empowers you, sells your passions, and attracts the people you dream of connecting with. 

There are many priorities competing for the leading role when building out a website; things like UX, optimization, and layout are all extremely important. But something many website designers get wrong? Nailing your unique vibe. Nothing makes someone "x" out of your website faster than inauthenticity. 

Luckily, when we work together, you can rest assured that *all* those bases are not just covered, but strategically planned and executed. (And having an authentic-to-you website just feels damn good, too.)

The process of working with a designer to build out a website can be complicated, with tons of moving parts and moments of self-doubt. (Of course, it's lightyears easier than trying to do it yourself!)

When you work with me, I'll make sure the process is easy, fun, and as stress-free as possible. And if I do say so myself, I am quite the hypewoman. 

Don't believe me?

Custom design? In this economy? You bet. Because accessibility is extremely important to me, and I will work with you to lay out a payment plan that works for you.

More details can be found on my pricing page, but payment plans start at just $800/mo.

What good is a tailored-to-you, optimized ShowIt website if it cannot be found? That's like opening a Broadway show with the lights off.

No good!

the r.o.i. of design

"When I first saw the work she was doing, I was                        But after hiring her, I was                          

impressed.

blown away.

ALEXANDRA CARTER  |  INTUITIVE EATING COACH

Her attention to detail, creative genius, and ability to understand and honor my personality and style was unparalleled. She listened to every thought and idea I had and then took them to the next level with her own. My website is not only the spirit and home of my brand made real, but a testament to her work and design. She not only set me up with my dream website, but she also provided me with everything I needed to keep it up on my own."

"Not only was the experience fab, but the results were                  what I could have hoped for - she didn’t just build a website, she created a hub for all things related to my biz and community.

Frequently Asked Questions

I design on ShowIt -- You've probably heard of Squarespace and Wix, but ShowIt is the best website building platform on the planet. The creative freedom is unmatched, which means we can tailor your site to your brand (instead of the other way around). And it's literally drag and drop (with no code!), so it's easier for you to update yourself than any of its competitors! Plus, it looks great on all devices.

If you're curious whether or not ShowIt might be right for you, check out this blog post I wrote about ShowIt vs. Squarespace, or this blog post about why ShowIt is the Greatest Ever.

Our timeline heavily depends on the package of deliverables we put together for you—however, at the base level, a custom project usually takes at least 4 weeks.

Just design, no copy—however, I do help with website content structure, so I will help you decide which kinds of content should go where, and in what order.

Alternatively, you can work with a copywriter beforehand, OR (my favorite option), hire my fave copywriter to work alongside me!

I've worked with so many different kinds of people on custom projects—from people just starting their business journey to people rebranding their already-successful endeavor. If you're looking for an intentional, strategic, thoughtful process that is fully catered to you and your brand, then this is the process for you.
