Are you ready to refresh your Field Digital Showit template but unsure where to start? Whether you’re updating your branding, tweaking your layout, or making small refinements, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the process.

Why Update Your Showit Website Template?

Your website often gives potential clients the first impression of your brand. Regularly updating your Showit editable template ensures it stays aligned with your business goals, remains visually appealing, and functions smoothly. Keeping your template updated allows you to:

• Keep up with design trends
• Improve user experience and engagement
• Optimise for SEO and site performance
• Ensure your site reflects your current brand and services

Step 1: Log into Your Showit Account

To update your Field Digital Showit template, log in to your Showit dashboard. If you haven’t yet set up your template, check your email for the link provided by the Field Digital team.

Step 2: Backup your current site

Before making any changes, it’s always a good idea to duplicate your site. To do so, in the Showit dashboard, go to Site Settings, then click Duplicate Site to create a backup, and rename the duplicate so you can revert if needed.

Step 3: Update Your Branding

Your Showit website template is fully customisable, making it easy to tweak your branding elements.

If you’re looking to adjust the colours and fonts, first navigate to the design settings, next adjust the colour palette to match your branding. You may want to update the fonts as well which can be done under typography.

Finally, you replace the placeholder with your logo by uploading a new image, and adjusting the size and positioning.

Step 4: Modifying the content

Your Showit editable template allows you to tweak the content easily. To edit text & Images, click on any text box to edit content. Replace placeholder images by clicking on them and uploading new files.

Step 5: Optimise for Mobile

Since Showit is a drag-and-drop website builder, mobile editing is separate. You’ll need to switch to the mobile view tab located at the bottom of the page.

You can then adjust text size, spacing, and images for a seamless experience. Ensure buttons and links are easy to tap.

We recommend keeping mobile layouts simple for faster loading times which is great for your websites SEO.

Step 6: Making your site search engine-friendly

Enhancing your Showit website template for SEO helps with search rankings. Make sure you are updating all page titles and descriptions.

To do so go to SEO settings in each page tab and add relevant title tags and meta descriptions. Ensure that you are using relevant keywords for your brand in these tags and descriptions, and also naturally within your content.

Images are also a great way to ensure your site is SEO friendly. To optimise images, make sure you compress images before uploading. This will help with your site speed. You can also use alt text for all images to boost your sites SEO and make your site more accessible to impaired users.

Step 7: Preview & Publish

Before going live, preview your updates and carefully check:

• Both desktop and mobile views
• Buttons and links work and are navigating to the right pages
• Content for errors and spelling mistakes.

Once satisfied, click Publish to make your updates live!
