How to Bring Creativity and Customizations Into Your Squarespace & Showit Website
I asked a few people in my Showit & Squarespace Facebook group “What’s your current biggest challenge when it comes to designing your website?” and a common answer was
- Creativity
- Being able to customize the site
As a Squarespace and Showit website designer who has designed over 50 websites, I’m happy to share my secrets on how to make websites POP using a little bit of creativity!
1. ADD OVERLAPPING ELEMENTS
This is very easy to achieve in Showit, but a bit more difficult in Squarespace. With a little bit of code you will be on your way to overlapping/ floating icons (FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL). If you have a showit site just create 2 different canvases (different colors) and then take your logo or submark and place it in between the 2 canvases.
2. Create a hover effect on your images
You can learn how to make a mouseover effect on Showit by following this blog and on Squarespace following this video.
3. Add a gif
Just screen-record your computer or make a quick video of you on your phone and then upload it to a free gif converter like ezgif.com and insert it into your website! The motion will grab the attention of your viewer so make sure to put it in a place that you want featured.

Hey, I'm Bekah! Web designer, Squarespace Circle Gold Partner, marathon runner, and mama of two. I built Rebekah Read Creative in 2018 after leaving corporate America, and I've spent the years since helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs stop cringing at their websites and start getting found on Google.
I'm the kind of person who overshares, processes out loud, and goes all in on whatever has my heart, whether that's running a 50k or building someone's website in a single day. Quality coffee and real conversations are basically my love language.
If you're here, you're probably tired of the Instagram hustle and ready for a website that actually works for you. You're in the right place.
