If you’re a photographer who already has a Showit website but feels like it no longer reflects your brand, you’re not alone. Many creatives reach a point where their current site feels outdated, doesn’t highlight their best work, or simply isn’t bringing in the inquiries they want. The good news? You don’t have to start from scratch. By purchasing a fresh Showit template and working with a designer who understands customization, SEO, copywriting, and gallery curation, you can level up your online presence without the overwhelm.
Why Upgrade Your Showit Template?
Showit templates are beautifully designed, but sometimes your original choice no longer aligns with your evolving style or business goals. Upgrading to a new template gives you:
- A modern design that feels aligned with your brand.
- Flexible layouts that highlight both weddings and editorial work.
- A chance to refine your site’s flow for better user experience.
Instead of struggling to customize it yourself, hiring a designer ensures your new template looks cohesive and professional from day one.
What Showit Template Customization Includes
When I work with photographers on template customization, the process goes beyond just swapping text and images. Here’s what’s included:
1. Personalized Design Customization
Your new template is tailored with your fonts, colors, and layouts that reflect your brand’s personality. The result: a site that feels unique, not cookie-cutter.
2. Copywriting That Sounds Like You
A beautiful design won’t convert without words that connect. I help refine your website copy so it feels authentic and compelling while being optimized for search engines.
3. Curated Image Galleries
Instead of dumping hundreds of photos into a gallery, I curate highlights that flow beautifully and keep visitors engaged. This way, your best work is showcased in a way that attracts the right clients.
4. SEO Optimization
From titles and meta descriptions to blog indexing, your site is built to rank. Many of my clients come to me because they want to actually get found on Google—not just look pretty online.
Showit Template Customization vs. Starting from Scratch
Custom design from the ground up can be an incredible investment, but it’s not always necessary. Template customization is faster, more budget-friendly, and still gives you a site that feels one-of-a-kind. It’s the perfect option if you’ve outgrown your current Showit site and want to elevate your brand without a six-month wait or a full custom budget.
Real Results for Photographers
I’ve helped photographers move from Squarespace to Showit, refresh outdated sites with new templates, and curate their galleries so their best work shines. The difference? Their new sites not only look better but also perform better—bringing in more inquiries through SEO and a polished user experience.
