Showit Canvas Kit Tutorial: Build your website faster (no coding)

If you’ve ever felt stuck designing your Showit website from scratch, this tutorial is for you. In this step-by-step guide, I’ll show you how to use a Showit canvas kit to speed up your workflow, mix and match layouts, and create a professional website that looks custom without touching a single line of code.

What Is a Showit Canvas Kit?

Unlike a traditional Showit template that comes with full pre-designed pages, a canvas kit is a library of interchangeable sections (aka canvases). You can drag and drop them into your site, customize them to match your brand, and build a website structure that’s both strategic and beautiful.

This is perfect for:

• Marketing agencies
• PR agencies
• Photographers and creatives
• Service providers who want a site that works (without coding headaches)

Why Use a Canvas Kit Instead of Starting From Scratch?

✨ Faster setup: No need to reinvent the wheel just grab the sections you need.
✨ Mix & match layouts: Combine canvases to create your own unique homepage.
✨ Strategic design: The Frankie Canvas Kit I used includes everything a service-based business site needs (hero, about, services, portfolio, testimonials, call-to-action, and more).
✨ No coding required: Literally just drag, drop, and customize.

Steps to Building a Homepage With the Frankie Canvas Kit

Here’s the exact process I walk you through in the tutorial:

1. Set your brand style → Upload brand colors, fonts, and images. (you don’t need a logo yet. consistent visuals are more important.)
2. Add your menu and hero section → Start with navigation and a bold first impression.
3. Customize layouts → Swap text, colors, images, and buttons to fit your brand.
4. Build out core sections → Intro, portfolio/projects, testimonials, services, and about.
5. Add a strong call-to-action (CTA) → “Work with me” or “Book a call” should never be buried.
6. Check mobile view → Don’t skip this step; it’s where most clients struggle.
7. Polish for SEO → Add H1/H2 tags, alt text for images, and clear link actions.
