Showit, Webflow or Shopify? Why I Work Across Platforms & What It Means for You

Your website platform isn’t just about drag and drop ease or stylish templates, it’s the foundation of how your brand connects, sells, and scales. As a designer for photographers, wedding creatives, and service based entrepreneurs, I don’t believe in forcing you into a single platform box. I believe in options that match your vision.

I design on Showit, Webflow, Shopify, Squarespace, and Wix, not because I can’t choose, but because every business has its own rhythm, goals, and future.

One Brand, Many Paths: Why Platform Flexibility Matters

Some clients need a story driven portfolio that feels editorial. Others need an eCommerce engine to sell prints, guides, or client gifts. Some want it all, and want it to feel effortless.

Instead of offering “one size fits most,” I build custom solutions that support your growth, not limit it. Here’s why that approach matters:

• ✨ Your brand may be evolving, your site should grow with you.
• ✨ You shouldn’t have to compromise design for function (or vice versa).
• ✨ The tech should serve your strategy, not define it.

Let’s Break It Down: Showit, Webflow, Shopify

Showit: Built for Creative Freedom

If you're a photographer, coach, or luxury service provider craving full visual control, Showit is where the magic happens. I design Showit websites that feel like art direction meets business strategy.

• No code drag and drop builder
• WordPress integration for powerful blogging and SEO
• Ideal for storytelling, visuals, and high touch experiences

Webflow: For Editorial Polish and Motion Driven Design

Webflow is the platform for sleek, structured, high end websites with modern flair. If your brand feels editorial, minimal, or tech forward, this platform delivers with precision.

• Advanced layout and animation capabilities
• Built in CMS (great for case studies, blogs, or portfolios)
• Ideal for scaling brands with interaction led storytelling

Shopify: Your Sales Machine

For businesses selling physical products, downloads, or templates, Shopify is the gold standard. But with the right design approach, it can feel luxurious and elevated, not just “storefront.”

• Robust e commerce features: inventory, subscriptions, upsells
• Streamlined checkout and mobile performance
• Apps and integrations to grow as you scale

What About Squarespace and Wix?

Squarespace: Simple, Stylish, and Strategic

Squarespace is ideal for creatives looking to get online fast without sacrificing style. It’s intuitive, visually pleasing, and perfect for new service based businesses or personal brands.

• Built in SEO, scheduling, and blogging tools
• User friendly and low maintenance
• Best for clean, minimal portfolios or booking sites

Wix: Great on a Budget, Still Looks Premium

If you’re starting out or need a beautiful online presence without investing in custom code or pricey plugins, Wix is worth considering. With the right strategy, it can punch well above its weight.

• Flexible drag and drop editor
• Good for booking, galleries, and small scale eCommerce
• Perfect for small businesses who need control and affordability

Why I Work on All These Platforms

Because you deserve a website that feels like it was built for your business, not a template forced into the wrong platform.

My approach is personalized from day one. During our process, I help you choose the platform that aligns with your:

• ✨ Brand goals and visual direction
• ✨ Business model (services, products, or both)
• ✨ Comfort level with tech and content updates
