Hi, I'm Ellie
Showit web designer for female entrepreneurs who serve life's biggest moments
what i love the most about my business is....
Supporting Female Entrepreneurs in Their Businesses
I work with women whose businesses guide, celebrate, and support others through life's milestones: wedding professionals, postpartum and newborn specialists, and family photographers. As a mom running a business from home, I know how little time you have for your website, so I build sites that do more of the work for you.
It would be an honor to help you with your business, too.
Sophisticated Grace Studio is proud to be an official Showit Design Partner
I've been designing websites since 2016, first on WordPress and, since 2023, exclusively on Showit. Today Sophisticated Grace Studio is an official Showit Design Partner.
Showit only accepts a handful of designers each year and the application process can take several months. That means Showit has vetted my work to ensure that it meets best practices for SEO, accessibility, mobile optimization, user experience, and design and acknowledges that I am a designer who actually knows the platform inside and out.
"I cannot recommend her enough! She is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and truly amazing to work with. She made the entire process of creating my website so easy and was always there to answer questions, offer guidance, and help with anything I needed. I absolutely love how my website turned out and am so grateful for all the time and care she put into bringing my vision to life. If you’re looking for someone who knows what they’re doing and genuinely cares about their clients, she’s your girl!"
"I hired Ellie immediately after our discovery call. She has extensive experience with Showit, SEO, user experience, and accessibility, and she understands the strategy behind a beautiful website. She helped me find the perfect template and customized it into a unique site that showcases my work and my signature style, offering suggestions and reworking every detail until it was right.
Ellie has now built two sites for my family. We both work in high end client services, and her warmth, professionalism, and personal touch mirror the excellence we aim to deliver. I was excited to launch my site but sad to lose our daily partnership. We cannot recommend Ellie highly enough."
Your site goes live with post launch support included, and Monthly Design Support is there when you want ongoing updates.
I share progress as I build, and we refine it together until it feels like yours.

Behind The Screen

Probably either the trip to Ireland my aunt and uncle took me on when I was 10 or building a fort in the backyard out of PVC pipes and an orange tarp!
favorite flower?
Gerber daisies and delphinium.
A Few More Facts About Me
When I'm not designing strategic ShowIt websites, you can find me at home with my husband, sons, and daghter, reading a good book, or in the kitchen channeling my inner pastry chef.
I've lived all over the Southern United States, but I've been told I don't have a Southern accent.
As an adult, I have traveled internationally to the Philippines, the Bahamas, and Mexico. My husband and I learned the hard way that the airport in Amsterdam is a "silent airport" on our way back from the Philippines.
My favorite subscription is Kindle Unlimited. I have always loved to read. Physical books are still the best though and I love to get good deals on books at thrift stores and garage sales.
