Thinking about hiring a website designer but feeling a little nervous about the process? You’re not alone! Many business owners, especially those who are scaling and want to build a stronger online presence, have lots of questions before making the investment. You want to make sure you’re making the right choice, getting real value, and working with someone who truly understands your vision.

That’s why I’ve put together this ShowIt website designer FAQ guide to answer some of the most common questions about working with a website designer. Let’s dive in!

Is there a guaranteed ROI?

One of the biggest concerns when investing in a website is whether it will directly translate into sales. While I can’t guarantee specific revenue numbers (no one can!), what I can guarantee is that I’ll create a beautiful, easy-to-navigate, and strategically designed website that helps you attract and convert the right audience.

A well-designed website is a powerful tool for your business. It builds credibility, enhances your brand, and creates a seamless experience for potential clients. Many of my past and current clients have seen business growth after working with me because their new website finally reflects their expertise and value. The key is to pair your new website with solid marketing and visibility strategies—something I can help guide you through!

What does the collaboration process look like?

Collaboration is key to creating a website that feels like you. To make this process smooth and stress-free, I use Slack for communication. Slack is an easy-to-use platform where we can:

• Ask and answer questions quickly
• Send voice notes (great for when you’re on the go!)
• Share written messages, pictures, and files
• Keep everything in one organized place (no lost emails!)

This way, we stay in sync throughout the design process, and you always know what’s happening with your project.

What makes you different from other designers?

I know there are a lot of website designers out there, but here’s what sets me apart:

• I’m deeply invested in your success. Your website isn’t just another project to me. I build relationships with my clients and take the time to understand their goals, values, and audience so the final product truly represents their brand.
• No one-size-fits-all templates. I don’t do cookie-cutter websites. Every business is unique, and I make sure your site is custom-designed to fit your brand and speak to your ideal clients.
• I focus on strategy, not just aesthetics. A website should be more than just pretty—it should work for you. That means intuitive navigation, clear messaging, and strategic design choices that guide visitors toward taking action.
• I make the process stress-free. Whether you’re tech-savvy or feel totally lost when it comes to websites, I guide you every step of the way and make it an enjoyable experience.

Why do you use Showit for website design?

I design websites on Showit because it’s one of the most flexible and user-friendly website platforms available. Showit is a drag-and-drop website builder that allows for complete creative freedom without needing to touch a single line of code. Here’s why I love using Showit for my clients:

• Easy to Update: You don’t need to be a tech expert to make changes to your site. The intuitive interface makes it simple to update text, images, and layouts without breaking anything.
• SEO-Friendly: Showit integrates with WordPress for blogging, which means you get the best of both worlds—a stunning website with the SEO power of WordPress.
• Mobile Optimization: Every Showit website is fully responsive, ensuring your site looks beautiful on any device.
• Custom Design Freedom: Unlike restrictive website templates, Showit lets me create a completely unique design tailored to your brand and business goals.

If you want a website that’s not only visually stunning but also easy to manage and optimized for SEO, Showit is a fantastic choice!

How long does the process take?

The timeline depends on the scope of your project, but most website designs take between 4-8 weeks. This allows for a thoughtful, well-planned approach to creating a site that looks and functions beautifully. I’ll give you a clear timeline upfront so you always know what to expect.

What do I need to provide before we start?

To keep things moving smoothly, I’ll need:

• Your brand assets (logo, colors, fonts, etc.)
• Photos & visuals (I can help source professional stock photos if needed)
• Website copy (if you need help with content, I have copywriting resources!)
• Any other materials you want included (testimonials, portfolio pieces, pricing, etc.)

Don’t worry—I’ll give you a checklist so you know exactly what’s needed before we begin!

What happens after my website is launched?

Once your website is live, I won’t just disappear! I offer post-launch support to help with any tweaks or troubleshooting. I also provide training on how to manage and update your site so you feel confident using it. If you prefer ongoing support, I have maintenance packages available so you can focus on your business while I handle the tech side.

What kind of businesses do you work with?

I specialize in working with service-based businesses, coaches, consultants, creative professionals, and entrepreneurs who are ready to scale their brands. If you’re looking for a website that reflects your expertise, attracts your ideal clients, and helps you grow, we’re probably a great fit!
