As a website designer, I am asked ALL the time for a comparison between Squarespace and Showit when it comes to website creation for business owners. And, the truth is, I don’t have one simple recommendation. Each platform comes with its pros and cons, which are all worth mentioning and taking into account when choosing which platform..

The websites that appear on the first page of results when you search a term on Google (and therefore get exponentially more clicks than websites that don’t) aren’t random—and, despite what you may think, it is possible to get your website to appear there for popular search terms. The magic (AKA technical engineering) behind this is…

Your website footer is more important than you think. Though it isn’t the first thing your website visitors will see, it very well might be the part of your site which leads them to navigate away after reading one full page or continue exploring your website. For this reason, putting ample time and energy into the elements of your footer is essential…

One of the most frustrating things to see as a Squarespace and Showit website designer is a website with stunning design—and crappy photos. I decided to write an entire blog post on this topic because, though professional stock photos are relatively easy to find on the web, it is much more difficult to get a professional photoshoot for your…

When I design websites for my clients, it’s extremely important for me that they will drive passive engagement—making SEO (search engine optimization) a top priority. I like to say that I’m not only a Squarespace and Showit website designer, but also an SEO strategist. As someone who worked in the SEO industry for 2 years, I first hand…

If you’re an OG reader on this blog and have been following me since mid 2018, you’d know that I live and breathe Squarespace. But in May 2020, I decided to get serious about branching outside of my “Squarespace website designer shell.” An influencer reached out to me about doing a Showit website, and I happily accepted! It was…

I’ve been wanting to write a blog post like this for a while, detailing exactly how a website designer can help you - and to what extent. Though I like to think of myself as a tech miracle worker, website designers aren’t able to handle every need you might have in your business - so it’s important to know what they can and cannot do before booking so…

If you are a business owner in the market for a new website or even a major website revamp, there’s a great chance that you’ve considered the DIY route. Though you may have heard how important it is to hire a designer, you’ve probably also considered the costs of doing so - and wondered if it would be best for your business in the long run…

Your website is an incredible asset for your business. It not only makes you look more legit, but it gives potential clients and customers a way to learn more about you and what you offer. Although having a beautiful and cohesive…

Because the choice of a website designer is such an important one (and accompanied by a decent investment,) many designers now offer free consultation calls to get to know you, answer your questions, and determine if you are a good match. (Pro tip: If your website designer does NOT offer a consultation of any kind, this could be a red flag!)…

Congratulations - you’ve done it! You (perhaps with the help of an amazing Squarespace and Showit website designer) have completed, and are ready to launch, the website of your dreams. Trust me...I know just how much of an accomplishment this is. It’s not only a culmination of hours of hard work and passion, but an exciting step in your…
