I’ve worked with a lot of photographers over the last 5 years. Like… a lot. And if there’s one thing I hear over and over again, it’s this: “I bought a Showit template… and I still haven’t launched my website.” There are too many Showit templates out there that are not easy to use, customize, or launch your website with. So when we started designing our own Showit templates for photographers, we didn’t just focus on how they looked (even though… yes, they’re stunning).
We focused on:
Because a template only works if you can actually launch your site with it.
If you’re browsing our Showit website templates for photographers, here’s a quick look at what we’ve built so far:




Each one is built specifically for photographers who want something that looks custom… without needing a custom build. You can browse the full Showit template shop here.
This is often something that many folks don’t think about until they are deep in design with their new template.
The website copy.
While design is its own beast, most don’t get stuck on how to customize their template, but instead get stuck on what to say. That’s why Sloane Mae and Lada include copy templates created by Kinfolk Creative.
The guidance that Kinfolk Creative included in these templates is truly insane. Here’s a sneak peak of what a copy template looks like for our Sloane Mae and Lada templates.

The structured guidance helps you:
If you’ve ever said, “I have so much to say, I just don’t know how to say it”, this is the difference between launching… and not.
Not all Showit templates for photographers are created equally. Some are genuinely plug-and-play. Others… look that way until you open them.
Here’s what actually matters:
If there’s no walkthrough, you’re probably going to get confused real quick—especially if you’ve never used Showit before. Good templates should show you:
Because Googling your way through your own website build is not the vibe.
You should not need to touch code. Period.
If a template requires custom CSS just to function properly, it’s not beginner-friendly, it’s mislabeled.
None of our templates will ever include code unless we have stated very clearly that they do! Again, we want you to actually launch your new template into a beautiful website that takes your business to a new level!
“Basic SEO included” is one of the most misleading phrases in this industry.
What you actually want:
Even the best DIY-er gets stuck at some point.
Look for templates that offer:
Not just “this is pretty!!!”
You want to look for:
That’s what actually tells you if a template works and will work for YOU!
I’m not usually a “shoulds” girl, but I do believe that at the end of the day, a good Showit template for photographers should feel like relief.
You don’t need another half-finished project added to your never ending admin list.
Your template should help you:
And if you’re sitting there thinking, “Okay but I still don’t know if I should go template or custom…”, I have a resource right here!
