My Favorite Showit Website Templates

A great website template is like finding a space with really beautiful bones. The layout makes sense, the proportions feel right, and you can already picture your brand living inside it. It doesn’t feel like a compromise — it feels like a starting point.

That’s the standard I hold templates to, and it’s why I’m particular about which ones I recommend.

If you’re on Showit (or getting ready to be), you know the platform gives you total design freedom. A strong template means you don’t have to start from a blank canvas — you start from something already beautiful, and make it yours. Today I’m sharing my favorites from Davey & Krista, a design studio I genuinely love and trust. Their templates are thoughtfully built, flexible, and designed for creative business owners who care about how things look and feel.

I’ve organized them by vibe rather than industry, because your brand’s personality matters more than your job title when it comes to finding the right fit.

What to Look for in a Showit Template

A beautiful preview image isn’t enough. Before you fall for a demo, here’s what actually matters:

Design quality. Does it have a clear visual hierarchy? Is the typography intentional? Great templates have a point of view — they don’t just look trendy, they feel considered.

Real flexibility. Any Showit template can technically be customized, but the best ones are built with clean, logical structure that makes the process intuitive rather than frustrating.

Thoughtful mobile design. On Showit, desktop and mobile are designed independently, so a quality template will have a mobile layout that’s just as intentional — not just a compressed version of the desktop.

The right starting aesthetic. You want a template whose bones align with your brand direction so you’re refining, not overhauling. If you spend more time fighting the template than building the site, it’s the wrong template.

For the Clean, Editorial Brand

St. Ives Showit Template — Davey & Krista

For the business owner whose brand lives in white space, serif typography, and quiet confidence. Think fashion-forward photographers, luxury planners, minimalist designers. The layout is editorial without feeling cold — there’s warmth in the details, but nothing competes for attention.

The typography pairings are exceptional, and the homepage flows like a curated experience rather than a checklist of sections. It lets your portfolio do the talking.

For the Bold, Expressive Brand

Barcelona Showit Template — Davey & Krista

If your brand has personality with a capital P — strong typography, a voice that doesn’t whisper, visuals that make a statement — this is your starting point. It’s structured but energetic, and it threads the needle between bold and overwhelming really well.

Ideal for educators, online marketers, creative coaches, and anyone whose personality is a core part of what they’re selling.

For the Soft, Feminine Brand

Amelia Island Showit Template — Davey & Krista

Warm tones, flowing layouts, generous white space. This one feels like a beautifully art-directed magazine spread — feminine without being fussy, romantic without losing professionalism.

It layers beautifully with brand photography and builds trust in a really natural way. A great fit for photographers, florists, wedding vendors, and lifestyle-adjacent brands.

For the Photographer

Rosemary Showit Template — Davey & Krista

Davey & Krista’s roots are in photography, and it shows. This template is built to let imagery lead — smooth gallery integrations, flexible portfolio sections, full-bleed layouts that make your photos feel like the main event.

The inquiry flow is intuitive and guides potential clients naturally from “I found you” to “I need to book you.”

For the Coach or Service Provider

Coronado Showit Template — Davey & Krista

Not every creative business is portfolio-driven. Coaches, consultants, and service providers need a site that builds authority and trust through copy and personality as much as visuals — and this template is designed for exactly that.

The layout gives real weight to your story, your process, and your offers, and it’s structured to convert — meaning it actually guides visitors toward working with you.

How to Make a Template Feel Like Yours

The goal isn’t to launch a site that looks like the demo. It’s to launch one that looks like you. A few things that make the biggest difference:

Start with your Brand Kit. Have your colors, fonts, and logo files ready before you touch the template. Swapping in your brand assets is the fastest way to make something feel transformed. (If you haven’t set yours up yet, this post walks you through it.)

Replace the imagery. Stock photos are placeholders — your own photography, or a curated set of on-brand images, will do more for the finished result than almost anything else.

Rewrite every word. Templates ship with placeholder copy to show you the structure. Write your actual voice, your actual offers, your actual story. Let the layout serve your content, not the other way around.

Know when to ask for help. If you find yourself staring at the canvas unsure how to make it feel right, that’s not a personal failing — it’s a signal. Sometimes a customization session (or a fully custom design) is the move that gets you from pretty good to exactly right.

Take your time with the demos. Imagine your colors and photos inside each layout, and pay attention to which ones make you feel something. That instinct is worth trusting.
