Search Strategy School is a four-week course that teaches creative business owners how to get found in search, both in traditional Google results and in the AI answers more and more of your clients are reading first.
You'll move through it in order: fix the foundation of your site, then your core pages, then your blog, then build a content strategy you can keep up with long after the four weeks end.
Every lesson includes a ready-to-use AI prompt that handles the technical execution, so you spend your time making decisions instead of wrestling with code. It's built for people who are newer to SEO, so nothing gets assumed along the way.

What if I'm still not sure which one I need?
You're welcome to look around, but the template shop is a better first stop. Those are built for creatives who'd rather launch in a weekend than learn a new craft. If you'd like it done for you, we customize our templates and take on custom projects too. Just reach out through the contact page.
I just want a website for my own business, not a design career. Am I still in the right place?
Not if you pick the right door. Design Strategy School is built for designers who can already design but are guessing at pricing, scoping, and selling — the parts nobody teaches. DesignEdit is where working designers go to stay current without the whiplash.
I've been designing for a few years already. Will this be too beginner for me?
No. Showit is drag-and-drop, and the back end feels a lot like Lightroom or the Adobe Suite, so if you've spent time in either, you'll adjust faster than you think. Even Search Strategy School, the most technical thing we teach, includes a ready-to-use AI prompt with every lesson so you spend your time making decisions instead of wrestling with code.
Do I need to know how to code?
The build tutorials are Showit-specific, and we won't pretend otherwise. We've sold 8,000+ Showit templates and it's still the platform we recommend for most designers. But pricing, brand strategy, client process, presentations, and search work the same no matter what you design on. If you build elsewhere, you'll use most of it and skip the click-by-click parts.
Do I have to design on Showit for any of this to be useful?
DesignEdit is the weekly rhythm behind everything else. A course hands you a complete system; DesignEdit keeps that system current with practical AI workflows, ready-to-use processes, and honest breakdowns of what's actually working right now, from a studio running real client work. It started as a newsletter. Members tell us they can't work without it.
What exactly is DesignEdit?
It depends on where you are right now. Just getting started? Begin with How to Become a Website Designer. Want to sharpen your craft and deliver stronger brand systems? Brand Design Academy. Want the full studio system, including pricing, selling, and delivering? Design Strategy School. Want income that isn't tied to your calendar? Design & Sell Showit Website Templates. And if the missing piece is people finding you at all, that's Search Strategy School. You don't need all of them. You need the one that matches this season.
How do I choose between your courses?
Start with something free. The branding questionnaire and the two pricing guides will tell you more about how this work actually runs than most paid programs do. When you're ready to build, Design Strategy School is the roadmap. It's the path we followed to serve 750+ clients, broken into steps you can follow from your first project.
