TEMPLATE FAQS
All you need is your EM Shop template and a Showit subscription to start. To bring your website live, you'll also need a domain name. That's it!
What else do I need to use the template?
That's absolutely OK. The content and photos in each template is simply a placeholder. All of the templates features the website pages and design options that every industry could need like an about page, blog, services page, contact page, etc. The filler content is just for fun! So, for example, if you’re a social media manager who fell in love with the Alice Mason photography template, go right ahead!
What if the template I like doesn't match the industry I'm in?
You can customize everything you see … fonts, colors, images, words, text placement, video/image placement, you name it! You can also leave all the fonts and color settings if you like the vibe.
How much can I really customize this?
No, this template works only with Showit, which is a mega blessing to you because Showit rocks. And, your blog will be on WordPress, but hosted by Showit. (Get 10% off here!)
If your current website is on another platform, such as Squarespace, you’ll start fresh in Showit and will be able to move over any images and words you choose as you customize your template. Showit will handle transferring your blog over.
Can I use this template with Squarespace, Wix, WordPress, etc.?
Showit is the only true drag and drop website builder. It’s easy to use, even for the least techy people. It’s beautifully customizable, and the support is out of this world. [Read more about why I love Showit here!]
Why do you recommend Showit?
The templates are crazy easy to customize on your own. Yes, even if you’re terribly non-techy.
However, I do understand that sometimes people want a little extra help. Contact us and we'll connect you with a vetted designer who you can hire to custom your new template!
Can you set up the template for me?
Nope — that's a major perk of Showit! You'll leave your current website up at your domain name until you're ready to launch (whether it's on Wix. Squarespace, WordPress, or anywhere else).
You'll customize your template in a trial account of Showit, and you'll start paying Showit when you're ready to launch your site. Showit will help you with the nitty gritty work of connecting your domain name to your new website. Your current website will only go down when your new website goes live!
Does my current website have to be shut down while I'm building my website on Showit?
Yes! Whether you’ve always blogged on WordPress or are on another blogging platform, your blog will be moved over to WordPress. You’ll create and publish any blog content from there! The training course you receive with your template teaches everything you need to know about using WordPress.
Will I blog on WordPress? How does blogging work?
I love the template… but I’m not so sure about Showit.

“We have been working with Squarespace for several years now and came to a point where the Sqaurespace design was too limited for what we needed. We have loved working with the new platform! Showit has been able to expand our hosting and designing options and offer us what we need!”
- Lauren M.
"I feel much more ownership of my website and like I have the control to make changes and be creative. I was using WordPress before and it made me want to pull my hair out! Showit is way easier to use! I truly think my Elizabeth McCravy template has been one of the best investments I've made so far for myself and my business. I feel so empowered and excited for what's to come!"
— Christine M.
"Previously I was using ProPhoto, and I loved the website. The problem was that it always took me hours trying to remember how to change the easiest of things or I had to reach out to my web designer to have things changed. When I found my dream template (from EM Shop) and Showit, it was love at first sight. Not to mention I truly had fun creating and designing!
