Showit is the ultimate website-builder that allows you to drag and drop images, text, graphics, gifs, video, objects, anywhere (no really, anywhere!) and customize every pixel of every page of your site–without knowing a single line of code. Learn more about how it works here.
In short, you can sign up for a Showit account, and use a Sisoo Site as a starting place, (so you don't have to start building your blog from scratch), customize it with your images, copy and colors. And then hit publish!
You need three things:
1) A Sisoo Site (or check out my custom design service)
2) An active Showit account (I recommend the advanced blog plan)
3) A domain name.
That's it!
A Sisoo Sites template costs $379.00. This includes free template installation and set up within 24 hours of purchase.
The only other cost is your Showit subscription, which varies depending on which plan you select. I recommend the advanced blogging plan for $34/month.
Showit is a website builder and a host. So no need to pay for any additional hosting fees with GoDaddy, Bluehost, etc. Those fees will be gone for good when you switch to Showit!
You do not need advanced computer skills to use this platform. I've been designing websites for over 12 years, and it's not only the friendliest platform I've come across. At the same time, it offers the most design capabilities and creative freedom as well.
Each of my custom clients and template customers have quickly taken to the intuitive Showit interface. To see how customization inside the Showit platform works, play around with their demo app here.
No. My templates are specifically designed for the Showit platform and won't work on any other platform.
If you have an existing blog on Squarespace or Wordpress, we can migrate it to your new Showit site for no additional charge whenever you are ready to publish your site.
Showit makes it easy to optimize SEO for all pages of your website.
Each page of your site includes a panel to update your page titles, meta descriptions, keywords, shared images (the image that appears when you share to social).
Your template is designed with strategic text tags as well, so Google can easily recognize the properties of each page and your site can appear at the top of search results.
100% of your Sisoo Site template is customizable. You can change colors, fonts, copy. You can swap images, make canvas sizes taller or shorter. You can rearrange layouts, add video, set the homepage to any page. You can add or delete pages, add additional canvas views to increase user engagement. You can add a GIF to any nook or cranny of your site. You can do it all... If you can dream it, you can create it on Showit.
Think of your Sisoo Site as a starting place.

Inside the Showit app, send a question to the support chat in the bottom right corner and Showit support member will help you. (Showit is known for their friendly, stellar support staff).
Showit's Help Center is also a valuable resource of searchable tutorials and videos.
There is also a Showit Facebook group you can join once you open your Showit account. It's a great place to meet other Showit users and ask questions.
You can also reach out to me (sarah@sisoo.com) within 30 days of purchase and I will help you solve your issue.
Yes! Showit integrates with WordPress for blogging, so you can have the superpower capabilities and optimization of WordPress mixed with the creative flexibility of Showit. (It's truly a match made in internet heaven, and the best of everything!)
So you'll design your blog on Showit, but write and publish your blog posts from the Wordpress dashboard.
We'll start your template installation and set up within 24 hours of purchase. Got an existing blog on Wordpress.org, Wordpress.com, or Squarespace? We'll work with Showit to migrate your posts seamlessly to your new blog. We make sure all menus, categories, and pages are linked correctly and everything is functioning properly so that all you have to do is customize your copy, featured posts, images, colors, and logo.
You can leave your current blog as is while you customize your Sisoo Site. You can preview your customizations on a Showit preview URL. Take as long as you need to customize it, but some folks have been ready to publish it in just a few days!
When you're ready to launch your new blog on your existing domain, we will help you request a blog migration. The Showit support team does the rest!
If you like one of my templates but it's not quite aligning with your needs, here are a few things to know:
1) You can easily change any colors, fonts, layouts or any part of the template that doesn't suit your brand. You can easily delete canvases or pages that don't work for your brand, or duplicate and tweak canvases and pages that do work for your brand.
2) You can hire me hourly to do design changes to your template. Learn more here.
3) You can hire me to design a completely custom blog. Learn more here.
