You’re not just picking a pretty template and hoping you can figure out the rest. Here is what you need to get started, why we design for Showit, and your options for getting to the finish line.
Your template should come with a plan, so it actually becomes a website
how this works
Your business deserves a place that feels like you.
You spend your days answering questions, planning trips, building relationships, and making sure your clients feel taken care of.
Your website should make some of that easier.
It should help website visitors understand what you do, who you’re the right fit for, and what working with you looks like before they ever fill out an inquiry form.
And it should give your business a home online that actually yours, instead of relying social media pages, linktree or anyone else’s platform to tell your story.
Less than you probably think.
You don’t need to understand code, become a designer, or have every word figured out before you start.
Here's the tech lineup.
What do you actually need for a website?
This is where your websites lives.t gives you the freedom to update photos, change copy, add pages, and make your site feel like your business without touching code every time you want to make a change.
Your website needs a place to live online. Domain names can be purchased with a number of registrars.
Each one is built specifically for travel advisors, with guided placeholder copy to help you understand what belongs where and a setup guide to help you keep moving once you’re ready to make it yours.
These are your “is anyone actually finding this thing?” tools. Google Analytics helps you see how people use your site. Search Console shows how your website is showing up in Google and what people are searching before they find you. Both are free. Both are worth setting up from the beginning.

Why we love Showit and think you will too.
Showit is the platform behind every VDC template.
You get creative control, an easy-to-use editor, separate desktop and mobile layouts, and the option to add a WordPress blog when you’re ready.
Choose the design that feels most like the direction you want your business to go. Do not overthink whether the demo has the exact same specialties, photos, or colors as you. That part changes based on your business. You are choosing the structure, layout, and overall feel.
Choose Your Template
STEP ONE
If you are hosted by a larger agency, there is a good chance you were given a website when you joined.
And technically, yes, you have a website.
But if it looks like every other advisor’s page, is filled with supplier promos, barely mentions what you actually specialize in, and gives you little control over the design or content, it is not doing much to build your business.
Having your own website gives your business its own front door.
What makes this better than the website your host agency provided?
- what types of trips you plan
- who you work best with
- what makes your approach different
- what clients can expect when they work with you
- how to actually get started
