Showit is a company that helps photographers and other entrepreneurs build stunning AND functional websites while giving them complete freedom to unleash their creativity as they build a digital identity for their brand. In our latest Vendor Spotlight, Cassie Jones, Showit United Director, shares Showit’s journey from a flash-based website company to, now, an easy-to-use, drag and drop website building platform built with creatives in mind. She also shares the heart of the company, built on the belief that community and connection are essential among photographers, that creating order from chaos is necessary for a stand-out website, and that it is crucial to cultivate the creativity that lives inside each person in order to make their work shine online.
Besides talking about how Showit is a time-saver for photographers – they strongly believe that websites should be doing all the hard work FOR you and not the other way around. Cassie also suggested a few other companies that can make your life easier. The Legal Paige, CloudSpot, Kiss, Flodesk, Till to name a few. If you are looking to ease up your workflow a little, these names are Showit-approved!
Cassie also shares with us the importance of photographers finding a place to belong, a place to share knowledge and struggles, and how Showit created the annual United Conference with that in mind. This year’s conference – in November – includes talented speakers like Michelle Harris, Katelyn James, Amy and Jordan Demos, Davy Jones. Showit CEO Todd Watson will also be making an appearance as a keynote speaker! We can’t wait to see what these guys have planned for this time.
This year looks like a must-attend for the creative professional photographer, but if you are looking for more conferences like Showit’s United, there’s Reset and Creative At Heart too!
