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 + 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 & 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 + affordability
Why I Work on All These Platforms

- ✨ Brand goals and visual direction
