DIY-ing a boring, big box template that does nothing to showcase your particular brand of awesome, won't attract your dream client, and that you’d need to be some sort of magical code wizard to customize. Probably getting tired of that template and buying a new one in six months. Rinse, weep, repeat.
Plunking down your life savings and your firstborn to search for and hire a designer who will spend months and months cranking out something arguably “custom” you may or may not love in the end. Getting stuck in a site you can't change or edit yourself and wondering if all the money and headache will be worth it.

GET ANSWERS
Questions deserve answers, so here's a list of our most frequently asked questions and their respective answers. We cover everything from "Do these designs work with Squarespace?" to "Where do I host my site?" So dig in, friends and feel free to let us know if you have any further questions that didn't get answered here.
FREQUENTLY ASKED questions
The blog included with your design + Showit subscription is a Wordpress blog, so you still get the power of Wordpress for blogging but your site is hosted and customized exclusively via the Showit platform! Here's more info on how that works! :)
Our designs can’t be loaded into Kajabi. But you can link to the Kajabi payment gateway specifically for your product, course, membership, etc. from your TONIC site so clients can see what you offer via your TONIC site, hosted by Showit, but will be redirected for the actual payment processing and access to the purchased materials.
While our designs can’t be loaded into Shopify, our designs integrate with Shopify Lite via our Shop Page add on. Showit is not an e-commerce focused platform, so you have to use an outside integration like Shopify Lite to incorporate selling products through your TONIC site. Our Shop Page is ideal for small shops (less than 50 products). Here’s our tutorial on how to set up the Shop Page on your site.
The cool thing about TONIC is that our aim is to provide creatives with on-the-ready, beautifully-designed website designs that they can easily build and customize on their own. And most of our clients do just that (and do so very well, I might add)! So it's definitely something you can get started on right away with a little elbow grease and support (from us and the Showit team), you'll have your new virtual digs in no time! Our designs really do all the heavy lifting for you when it comes to the design aspect! If you can drag and drop, you can customize your design to meet your vision for your online presence. Just take it from these creatives who did just that! And here's a demo so you can see the backend/Showit design dashboard used to customize your TONIC design.
Yes! All fonts and colors can be updated via the design settings in your Showit dashboard to match your brand and vision exactly.
We do not host your site! Rather, we provide website templates that are made for the Showit platform specifically. Showit actually hosts your site and blog.
We do not provide domains. And Showit doesn’t provide domain hosting! So, you will need to purchase your own domain and domain hosting via a domain registrar (like GoDaddy or Google Domains). Once your site is launch ready, you can point your domain to your site — which will make it live!
Great question! We have this fun brand quiz to tell you just that! Take the quiz HERE.
Super easy and SO worth it. (You'll never look back, we swear!) The Showit support team will help you set up your domain with your new design. If you have a blog, they will help you migrate that content over so you don't lose and posts or pages. Plus, we're here to help consult if you need it!
Each TONIC design comes with a built-in blog theme for Wordpress. So that means you get to use the most powerful blogging platform on the planet, but customize your blog design in Showit without one line of code? WIN. WIN. You can upload, schedule and publish blog content from your Wordpress post editor like normal, but you can customize the blog design and make it pretty in the awesome, super-easy-to-use Showit platform. Best of both worlds, eh?
While we don’t offer full-on ecommerce sites, we do have a simple Shopify shop page template that can be added to any TONIC site, which works well for shops of 25 items or less WooCommerce is also compatible with our sites but do require a bit more elbow grease or additional designer help to integrate.
Fret not. While our demo sites are styled to be specific to a particular industry, our templates are highly customizable and can be tailored to your exact vision for your business and brand. No matter what they may be! Coaches, artists, dentists, real estate agents, bloggers, content creators, and beyond have all found home for their business in a TONIC design.
Most templates only let you change the color, font or images, and even for simple changes, you often need to know CSS or HTML or upload an annoying amount of Photoshop files. Our designs make it INCREDIBLY easy for you to change ANYTHING — colors, add images, your logo and other brand paraphernalia, restructure the layout, or completely delete it all and start over. You can literally pick elements up and move them. Best of all, changes preview and update instantly and there’s no guessing what it will actually look like. So yes, you can change that.
Yes! While we've built an incredible baseline for your website, it's YOURS, ultimately, to add-to and change as much as you want. You can copy and paste entire sections of your site to use as a baseline for new pages, duplicate a whole page and change things... feel free to add as much as you want!
You know that whole HTML5 thing we mentioned earlier?! Well that results in all the goodies on your site being indexed by Google. You can even add in keywords, image descriptions, meta tags and links to better optimize your site for search engines. Ryan — one of our in-house designers — moonlights as an SEO expert and offers SEO services should you like to work with him directly. Get in touch HERE for more information.
Honestly, because you get what you pay for. We create all our templates with the same level of intentionality that we do our custom sites, for which our clients invest between $10,000-20,000. We say we redefined the website template because we want our designs to feel like a custom design we made just for you, and our customers tell us their investment pays off almost instantly.
We do in fact offer a select number of in-house site customization projects per quarter in the Tonic Speakeasy. Investment begins at $2800. If you’re interested in working with our design team, please complete this inquiry form and we’d be happy to provide more information and set up a free consultation call to discuss your project further. We also have a list of designers we are happy to refer you to for additional customization work!
While we don't offer either service in-house, we do have resources for images and copywriting. Shoot us an email and we'll point you thie
The Showit support team is unreal and they are ready to help at a moment's notice. You can live chat with them in-app during normal business hours and send in support tickets 24/7. They are prompt, genius, and downright awesome people. Plus, we’re here to help with any design questions that come up along the way — we’re your designers now, so don’t hesitate to reach if you need some help.
