And not just physically stunning. Scroll-stopping type of stunning.
A website that’s an extension of how you treat your clients—thoughtfully, intentionally, and honestly you.
Your clients are already looking for you online and you *probably* needed a stunning website…yesterday.
Your website should be a digital expression of how you serve.
we build showit websites based on this belief:
...your right-hand woman in designing a website that converts with care.
That’s where I come in with a cup of home-brewed coffee...
I’ve met creatives who’ve spent THOUSANDS of dollars over a website their clients couldn’t see—because they’re too embarrassed to publish or it’s hard to read the text on the website.
It made me tick (#opinions). I saw creative entrepreneurs who were itching to get their work out into the world only to be hindered by websites they didn’t resonate with...or even log into.
After I left my job designing a community app for a social enterprise startup, I built this boutique Showit web design business because I saw the problem in the creative world: websites that looked “pretty” but lacked personality and intentionality.
Former singer-songwriter, lover of all things beautiful & usable, most likely to roll her eyes at dad jokes (and laugh), and always on the lookout for a good story.
my name’s alyssa—
Websites for people who want their work to be a contribution to the world.
I set out to help by designing this solution:
Our bread and butter is working with business owners just like you…
…the ones ready to be seen and *eager to serve their people with their work (and create a sustainable and profitable business as a by-product).
Before I knew it, I created websites for half a dozen creative small business owners spanning different industries.
I took a leap outside of my introvert comfort zone.
Because changing people’s lives through what you can offer isn’t sleazy—it’s service.
Around here, I’m all for serving before selling.

I believe in designing with care, not just conversion in mind.
Design that considers your people and how they’re able to navigate through your website brings in good business.
Boom. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

I don’t believe you need to be tied down to a web designer every time you need to change your website. You should able to (re)decorate and update as necessary.
That’s why we provide you with resources to customize your website. And Showit has awesome resources, too.

I don’t believe in “modern”. We design for timelessness. And you know what never ages?
Your story. That’s why our websites are designed based on yours.
Also, readable text and colours that don’t hurt your eyes NEVER go out of style.
Not your web designer from '08.
this is how we do it
(And my brother, too.)
But if I got to work with someone like you, I’d give Annie a big celebratory hug.
My days are packed between working my 9-5 and this boutique business, flying paper planes with my youngest brother or taking screen break walks with my yellow Labrador Retriever, Annie.
I live 30 minutes away from Vancouver, BC—on the shared, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Semiahmoo, Katzie, Kwantlen, and other Coast Salish peoples.
I’m not really a talker but I can talk for 12 minutes about helping servant-hearted entrepreneurs show up online, be seen, and get booked by your dream clients.
Truth?
How much time do you have? Jacob Collier, Eloise, John Mayer, Gabe Bondoc—we can be here all day.
most likely listening to
The Good Place, The Office, Gilmore Girls, and almost anything on HGTV.
guilty pleasures (TV edition)
"God has created me to do Him some definite service. He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another...He has not created me for naught. I shall do good; I shall do His work."
Quote(s) to live by
I'm good with names and remembering directions. (Take that, Google Maps. Just kidding, I need you.)
hidden talent?
Outside at a park with a book. A "quiet" beach with a picnic blanket, some munchies, and good company also work :)
My happy place
Most of the time, home-brewed coffee, double-double, or caramel macchiato from Starbs. When I want to ease into the morning, rice tea.
TEA OR COFFEE?

Head over to the CONTRAST template shop, pick out your new website, and download it instantly.
So we made that for you.
But sometimes you just need a good website base to get you started—one where you can insert your visuals/copy.
Truth: a well-designed custom website is expensive and web designers (us included) can be booked out for months.
