My name is Kate, and I’m a Pinterest Manager based in Halifax, Canada! I’ve been a freelance writer and social media manager since 2015, and this year I made the decision to transition solely to Pinterest management.

I hadn’t been happy with my previous website for awhile because it was really difficult to customize, and I couldn’t get it to a point where I felt like it was a good reflection of myself or brand. I wanted a site that felt like “me” and that I was excited to send people to.

I knew I wanted to make the switch to Showit, but it took me awhile to find a template that felt right. When I came across yours, I immediately knew I’d found the right one!

I seriously just love it all! I never knew I could have a website like this, especially without paying serious money for a web designer, and I’m just so thrilled with it. It feels like my little online home, a welcoming spot for my site visitors and a true reflection of me.

Redesigning your website can feel super overwhelming, especially for someone like me who isn’t exactly tech-savvy, but finding a platform you click with (in my case Showit), makes it so much easier. And it is soo worth it- there is a lot of confidence in having a site that you love and are proud of.

Have you noticed any differences in your business since your launch?

I just launched last week so haven’t noticed much yet, but I do feel much more confident in sending people to my site.

Every time I log into write a new blog post and see it go live, I just smile because the design is just so on point! I really wanted something that was easy to customize my colors and fonts, but at the same time leveled-up the experience for my visitors. Krista’s clean design had exactly what I was looking for... Its design is so user-friendly (and not complicated) so my clients are engaging with it more (and also staying on my website longer, so I’ve noticed through my analytics)! I’ve also noticed a slight incline of inquiries coming in ever since changing as well!"⁠

"I decided to design this website so I could have a separate space for my coaching alongside my photography business. I wanted a place for creatives to come and find all the tools and courses I offer!⁠⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁠⠀

My favorite part about the website is the clean look that matches my brand. I love neutrals and earth tones and feel this website really compliments my entire brand!⁠⠀

If you're considering redesigning your website, it's important to invest in a nice one! Go all in because your website is the first thing a potential customer sees and you want it to fully represent who you are as a business!"⁠

"My business has grown leaps since I made my website 3 years ago and I needed an upgrade in my website so that it reflected the level of business and owner that I am!

[The new website is] so intuitive and easy to change ANYTHING. Other out of the box systems felt clunky and I was never able to get them to format the way I truly wanted. It blows my mind how very easy Showit makes it to change anything!

Seriously, I changed platforms and designed my new website in 4 hours. It was a BREEZE and makes me feel so much better about sending traffic to my home on the internet."

I started my business as a sophomore in high school and shot my first wedding at 15 years old. I still remember the days walking between classes while replying to client emails at the same time! During those high school years, I poured my whole heart into growing a full wedding photography business, and quickly scaled to where I am today.

As my business grew from primarily serving couples & high school seniors to also offering education for other photographers, I knew I needed a website that reflected both my photography & education services. I wanted something that could balance all the different aspects of my business, but still seem cohesive and keep everything organized under one brand. I of course knew Davey & Krista have the best website templates in the industry, so I hopped onto their shop and instantly found the perfect fit.

My favorite part of my new website is how easily I was able to personalize it! I was able to put this new website together in under a week... and that is because Davey & Krista completely set you up for success! Krista shows you exactly how to personalize your specific website template and everything is designed to be totally customized to you and your brand. They make it SO easy for your website to look great and reflect you and your brand

If you are considering redesigning your website or looking for a new template, then you NEED Davey & Krista! Their templates and websites are one of a kind, and have been a game changer for me. My website has become a converting machine and I absolutely love how it looks. This is the ONLY place you need to look for your website template! I would choose Davey & Krista time and time again for a new template, and you should too!

I have gotten so many compliments on my website since my launch! My lead magnet download rates have skyrocketed & it is all because of the new design!

My name is Kristin Halford and I'm a travel advisor based in Kansas City, Missouri. I started my business in 2020 and work with clients to bring their dream travel experiences to life! I offer custom itinerary planning and travel management to make my clients' trips easier, better, and less stressful. I always knew I wanted travel to somehow be intertwined with my career and I soon realized owning my own travel agency would be the perfect fit! I've spent the last year and a half learning the in's and out's of the travel industry and have loved every second of it. It's a dream to be able to own a business that creates such impactful and beautiful experiences for others. I quit my corporate job earlier this year and have been focused on the travel industry full-time ever since!

I knew a website would be an integral part of setting up and growing my business but found myself stuck with the design. I was building and designing the website myself (with the help of a lot of YouTube videos) but I was struggling and delaying the procss. It was such a daunting project for me and I eventually realized starting with a WordPress template would make the process SO much easier. I was really drawn to the designs and templates that Davey & Krista offered and found one that fit perfectly with my brand.

My favorite part of my new website is the services page! I always struggle with summarizing what I do as a travel advisor (because it's a lot!) so I love that I have a pretty and clean webpage to direct current and potential clients to! The page is filled with block templates that were provided through Davey & Krista's package and I was able to tweak/adjust them to perfectly fit my needs.

It makes the build, design, and launch process SO much easier! Especially if you are trying to do everything on your own! I truly could not have done it without having Davey & Krista's template as a starting point. I was so glad to find a template that fit the brand I envisioned. Plus, the template package comes with enough pages and blocks to fit my future needs as my business grows.

Have you noticed any differences in your business since your launch?

Yes! It makes my sales and client prospect process easier, faster, and more organized I love that I now have a beautiful site that answers client questions and kicks off the travel planning process. It's so helpful to be able to give my clients clear directions on how we start working together and what the process looks like.

When I initially started my WordPress blog I thought it would be simple to make it look beautiful because that's the expectation they sell you on when you sign up. I quickly learned how wrong that was and how much work it would take to create a blog that was even half as eye catching as they look when you comb through the templates. A fellow blogger friend told me about how she wished she had purchased a Davey & Krista template right from the start, and suggested I should do that. I followed her advice and now have the blog of my dreams!

My favourite part of my new website is how much it reflects my own personal style. Even though it's a template, changing the fonts, colours and photos makes such a difference. I also love how easy it is to add pages that are cohesive and continue to tell the story of my brand. As I grow, I know this blog will easily grow right along with me.

This template was such a game changer for me. I have a website that I am proud of and feel confident sharing and pitching. It has the professional but friendly and approachable vibe I was so badly wanting. I never could have achieved it on my own, and I didn't even have to! The support I got from the Davey & Krista team was incredible. It was easily the best investment I've made for my site, and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to redesign their own.

We needed updating our website (it had been over 8 years) that matched our new brand. We also needed a template that we could make changes to easily and disconnect from a big agency.

The overall look! It matched us perfectly and made everything easy and exciting to create.

Simple and clean goes a long way when looking to redesign. Will make your life easier and hopefully your customers as well!

Have you noticed any differences in your business since your launch?

We love it! It makes it easier for our customers to find more information regarding our salon without sorting through so much unnecessary information.

The template gives you the perfect bones to build your site. You can easily pull already created layouts and replace with your content, this helps make it look so nice and professionally done without the hassle and confusion of coding.

I’ve been a photographer for over 20 years professionally. I’ve literally had a camera in my hand since I was about 4 years old. My folks helped foster my love of photography from a young age and it’s carried through my life. I started photographing my horse and dogs which lead into equine photography. After a few years, I moved into wedding photography. After 15 years as a wedding photographer I decided to shift gears again, opened up a photography studio location and started photographing families, business headshots & branding, and contemporary portraits of women in a studio atmosphere. I love my new space and how my business has evolved over the years.

Part of the motivation shifting gears from wedding photography to a studio portrait photographer and leaving the wedding industry was the loss of my brother to lung cancer. Our last family photo was in front of my folks house and it’s more like a snapshot. That’s our last family portrait if you can call it that. Prior to that, we hadn’t had family portraits in years. I believe that photography is about capturing those unscripted moments and connections that last for a lifetime for my clients. Creating those legacy portraits for my clients is my passion. Providing them with something tangible that they can hang on the walls in their home and remember special moments with their family members. Portraits they can cherish that bring a smile to their face when they see their portraits on the wall.

In addition to a photographer, I’m an avid equestrian, dog mom to two beautiful labradors and an advocate for dog collar safety #rydersafe to learn more about our mission that helps save the lives of dogs. I have a minor in photography, a certificate from the New York Art Institute of Photography, an Associate photographer with Sue Bryce Education, earned my AFP with Professional Photographers of Washington and I am a Certified Professional Photographer with PPA. I believe in continuing education and keeping up with the newest technology to provide the best quality of portraiture to my clients.

I photographed weddings primarily and my old website had a different aesthetic. I felt it was time to rebrand and have my website completely overhauled. I went through EVERY single Showit template, googled, searched and finally found the one I purchased through Davey & Krista. I had it down to two sites, and kept going back to this one. It had the aesthetic I liked. The site is easy to read, clean, professional and has a creative flair - but really focuses on the portraits which was important to the redesign of my website. My designer Jennifer Gentry of Mesmerizing Designs customized the site with my colors and style. I love the new look and it works great with the direction I’ve shifted my photography business. I love the Showit platform too - after Jennifer customized my website, it’s easy for me to make little changes. Big changes, go through Jennifer so I don’t mess things up.

I love every aspect of my website! My favorite part…is the large images on the main page if I had to pick one. That was important to me that potential clients see my work before anything else on the site.

Hire a designer to put your site together for you! Work smarter, not harder! I have the skills to put the site together and customize it - but that would take away from my photographing clients. If I’m not photographing clients, I’m not earning income. I think it’s also important to have an idea of what your style is too (but a designer can help you hone in on that also). Don’t have a lot of fonts! <— that’s what Jennifer kept reminding me. Keep it simple! Don’t put on your website what you “don’t” photograph or don’t like to photograph. You’ll still filter phone calls, but not as many as you might have. I also recommend updating your website every few months to keep things fresh. Another important item with your website is to make sure your images are the right size so they don’t take to long to load and add the SEO information to your website to help with Google ranking.

I think one of the most important things for a website is that your contact form is easily accessible, and most importantly - put your phone number on your website where its easy to find. I’ve looked to hire a photographer for our family vacation portraits and I was genuinely surprised how many photographers do not have a phone number on their website. No phone number, people will move along quickly. Putting pricing on a website seems to be a question I see a lot in forums. Personally, I don’t put my pricing on my website anymore. I want to talk with potential clients on the phone and find out their “why” to a portrait session. I’ve had clients who have hired me because of the phone conversation, that might have otherwise looked at pricing and never filled out an inquiry.

Have you noticed any differences in your business since your launch? My website traffic is pretty good and I LOVE Showit for their SEO. I’ve been with them for several years and think they have a solid platform for photographers and boosting their site traffic. My business stays pretty steady and I feel the update to my website has helped. I try to update my website and the images every few months to keep things fresh.

1. The A-List Shop needed a home. Our photographer templates and guides had been living on my photography website under my name and there wasn't any separation of brands. It was time to divide and conquer - literally. So we decided to move the shop to its own site. We also wanted to create an online experience for our customers that we just didn't have on my old site. We wanted a space for messaging, brand features, and so much more.

2. Oh man - my favorite part about the A-List Shop is the homepage! It's such a beautiful path for our customers to follow to help them with what they need most, whether it be marketing templates, sales guides, session prep resources, etc. It allows us to target their needs and then provide them with exactly what they're looking for. It also allows for a ton of education about our brand and what makes us different in the industry.

3. When redesigning your site, it's so important to ask your target market what THEIR NEEDS are. It's so easy for us to think about how we'd like the site to look and how it should function, but if your audience can't find what they're looking for, or end up on the wrong sales page, then you're not going to make a sale. Ask your audience what their favorite products are, why they're a favorite, what they love about online shopping, what they value in a shopping experience, etc.

4. Since the launch of the new shop site, we have noticed a more steady stream of customer purchases as well as less need for backend shop interventions - which is a huge time saver! Our customers always talk about how beautiful the shop is too!

Davey & Krista (and everyone on their team) have been an absolute pleasure to work with on the launch of our new site. The scope of work to achieve what we wanted to achieve with customizations for our membership site were huge, but somehow Davey & Krista's team were able to make all of the features we dreamed of possible.

They were always keeping our members in mind with the layout of our site to make sure it was as user friendly as possible, while also helping integrate features that would assist our business in growing. Krista's impeccable eye for design helped the new website feel so on brand with our playful style. We could not have asked for a better team to work with. Thank you for all of your support and guidance over the past two years!

I’m a public speaking mentor to ambitious women who want to learn how to communicate their message with confidence, clarity and class! I started out 20+ years ago as a performing and touring artist and keynote speaker. 1,000+ stages later and women coming to me for advice on how to feel more comfortable when speaking I’ve decided to start my consulting business in 2019.

My brand evolved quite a bit over the last couple of years and I felt my website needed to reflect that evolution as well.

How beautiful it is! How easy it is to navigate is and that it doesn’t feel cluttered. It looks very professional and classy. That’s the feedback I get from most people that land on my website.

When you use a template that has been crafted with high standards it really makes the process a LOT easier. That’s why I choose Davey and Krista’s templates. Their templates are not only beautifully designed but also very well thought out as far as each element and section goes.

(I don’t have hard data on this yet) Since using Davey and Krista’s templates for my website I’ve noticed a significant increase in my opt in as well as I’ve gotten a LOT of compliments from clients and new visitors on how professional, stylish and easy to navigate my site it.

I'm Madi! Three years ago, I traded in my tap shoes for TikTok and I’ve never looked back. Today, I work full time as a social media manager and content creator, where I help social media managers & small businesses optimize their social media strategies and systems to scale.

I knew I wanted to make the move from Squarespace over to ShowIt, but also knew that trying to build an entire website from scratch was just not something I have the time for. I was excited to elevate my website to match my offerings.

How easy it is to update, add canvases, and easily build new pages. Plus finally having a BLOG!

I felt like I was getting SO much for the price and then the tutorial made it a no-brainer. Plus I thought the design was incredibly intuitive and made sense for the goals I wanted to accomplish.

I've gotten so many compliments on my website and finally feel excited to send people to it (vs. in the past when I felt more ashamed).

"I can't imagine going with anyone besides Davey and Krista for our websites. We finished site number 3 this year. Within my career, they've helped me with whatever point I was at. Whether just getting going with growing my business, or through seasons of majorly scaling. They are efficient and polished in their communication, and made my vision come to life!"

I'm an avid runner who decided to open a running store in my town to help my community get active through running or walking. Together with my husband, we opened Lex Running Shop in 2018 and have enjoyed the process of owning and operating a business that helps people live healthier and more active lives.

After six years of business, we decided it was time for a refresh on our website, one that we hoped would be a more accurate reflection of who we are, what we do, and how we hope to inspire people. We knew we would need the help of a professional.

I really love how beautiful the design and colors turned out on the website. I think it's a beautiful invitation, inviting people to come visit the store. It is also a wonderful reflection of Lexington and Rockbridge County; it accurately depicts the beautiful part of Virginia we are lucky to call home.

I think redesigning our website helped me revisit our mission, our values, and the human qualities that make our store the awesome place it is. Working on the website felt surprisingly human to me; it was a reminder that at the heart of it all, it's all about people.

Have you noticed any differences in your business since your launch?

I haven't noticed anything in particular, but I will say that we have received numerous compliments on our new site!

My name is Ibbie and I'm a pelvic and perinatal physical therapist living and working in Ontario. Most of my work revolves around helping women navigate pregnancy, birth and postpartum and I've been serving in this space now for 12 years. I got into this niche area of physical therapy after about 5 years doing work that was "meh". I decided to take some training in pelvic health and on that first course, I knew deep inside that I was exactly where I needed to be. After that I decided to quit my job, start my own private practice, and work in a way that really lit me up. One month after starting my women's health practice, I found out I was pregnant (with my first of 5 babies)! Well that experience totally pulled me into all things pregnancy and birth. I've never looked back.

As a new entrepreneur, I quickly learned that branding is incredibly important. I also didn't have a lot of cash when I was first starting up - so I learned how to customize my own websites from templates. Digital marketing, design trends, google algorithms... gosh it all changes so quickly. So to stay on top of the changes, I found myself essentially redesigning my website every 2 years or so. Around Covid, I made some major changes to my business, had another baby, was homeschooling, and life got super busy! My website upkeep fell by the wayside and I would literally cringe every time I visited my website because I knew it needed a serious overhaul. Not only had my offerings changed but the whole look had to be updated! I needed a new beautiful website to broadcast my refreshed brand and vision to the world.

I honestly love everything! The colours, the layouts, the font pairings, the footer...and how simple it is to navigate. I love that I can showcase myself and all my offerings in a clear and aesthetically pleasing way.

I spent a lot of time (read: too much time) searching the internet for a template that fit exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something out of the box that wouldn't need too much customization on my part. I wanted something that looked amazing. I needed something with a wide variety of page designs to capture all the content on my pre-existing website. I needed a template that offered many opportunities to grow my email list, and that also had the potential to integrate a podcast or shop for the future.

And most of all, I needed it to be simple and well priced. There were so many beautiful Davey and Krista templates to choose from and I went back and forth for a while before finally making my final selection. It was also very helpful to have the video tutorials as part of the purchase. They walked me through some key logistics with set up. I'm Super happy with how everything has turned out!

Yes I have! One thing I really wanted my website to do was to capture new subscribers for my email marketing. I loved how the templates provided multiple opportunities for lead generation with freebies. I just checked my convertkit dashboard and it tells me that in the past 7 days, I've had a 66.7% increase in my subscribers; and in the past 30 days, my new subscribers have increased by 1000%!!!
