These are the tools, templates, and go-to favorites I actually use in my business—plus a few extras I think you’ll love.
From website platforms to email marketing to brand-building inspiration, it’s all here. I'm even sharing some of my favorite business and branding books.
I’ll keep adding to this list as I discover new favorites, so feel free to check back.
Quick note: Some links may be affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you choose to purchase through them. I only share what I genuinely use, trust, and would recommend to a client or friend.

My entire website is on Showit! After years, I am still obsessed with Showit's flexibility, ease of use and my unlimited ability to design.
(I even wrote a blog post about it!)
Get a free month of Showit to see if it's right for you.
Best of all, blogging is done through Wordpress and integrates perfectly with Showit. Win win!

Wonder where I purchased my beautiful website? Why, Elizabeth McCravy's template shop!
Her designs are so beautiful but totally customizable in Showit. You can create a new website in a weekend, yet make changes any time your heart desires!
Elizabeth's templates come with an instructional course that gives you every little detail you need to build your site.
