When we designed the Pattern Designer showit template, we wanted to make something that reflected the creative Artists, Illustrators & Surface Pattern designers that would use it.

Inspiration for this design came from print magazines and books. Plus, we’ve included organic layouts and textures. This premium template breaks away from the common square, boxy look. And instead, the final website looks as unique as your work.

Built using the Showit website platform, you can move anything anywhere and scale & rotate as you see fit. (Not so with grid-based, boxy layouts on Platforms like Squarespace or Shopify.)

Pattern Designer Showit Template
Shop Features

This shop gives you two options:
1. Link to your favourite Print on Demand store (Etsy, Society6, minted, etc.) to process shipping and payment.
2. Sell directly through your store with Shopify Starter*.
(Subscription required at an additional $5 USD per month – as of March 2023).

Having all your products in one location (rather than across several POD storefronts) means people get to see more of your work and not be distracted by other artists’ products, as is the case on Shops like Etsy, Society 6 etc.

This means more chance of converting to a sale or purchases of additional items.

Print on Demand Shop Logos

Firstly, we have included some of the most popular print-on-demand logos inside the template, including, Minted, Casetify, Etsy, and Spoonflower.

These P.O.D logos will also change colour to your brand colours. (As shown in the image above). Allowing them to perfectly gel to your brand theme.

And another bonus is that the animated products and hover states draw attention to the Individual Product Pages.

Product Slideshows

Showcase your work by providing different views – such as an overall view, then zoom in and provide details such as watercolour brush strokes, paper weaves, or hand-embroidered details.

Description Section

We’ve set up the description section with guide text for you to follow, giving you tips on how to list your product and the details to include.

Buy Now Section

Here you can sell directly through your store or link out to your POD shop and let them take care of the production, billing and shipping.

You can also mix and match depending on your products. For instance, you can sell directly through your template for your handcrafted products while sending people out to several of your POD Stores for other items.

Introduction

This is the opening slideshow gallery. Each slide also allows you to include your own messaging.

• Grab your ideal client’s attention with your designs as a gallery backdrop.
• As the slideshow gallery rotates, you can add new background images and text, to further introduce yourself, your philosophy, and your style.

Pattern Designer Showit Template Section Breakdown
Selected Work

Here you can showcase your selected work, and latest project or include seasonal pieces of work.

Want to call it something else? No problem, change the title to suit.

When an Art Director comes to your website to look at your work, they are busy and don’t have time to search. So we created the perfect style gallery.

• Masonry Tiled Style Gallery
Or commonly known as Pinterest Style, creates a gallery that can be quickly scanned by Art Directors, buyers and potential clients.

• A Scannable Site
This is best practice because along with Art Directors, everyone is time-poor and using this layout makes it easier and quicker to find what they need.

• Close up enlarged view of your work
Art Directors can get frustrated when they click on a piece they like for a closer view, and nothing happens!

Not with Pattern Designer! Click on the piece and the image becomes full screen giving you a complete close-up, detailed view of the work with no distracting backgrounds.

Hidden Portfolio Page (see more work)

Some potential clients may want to see more of your work, and this section gives them a way to contact you to do exactly that.

After they contact you, use the Hidden Portfolio Page template to tailor a portfolio to their requests. Then send them a personalised link to access. (This is all explained in our step-by-step guides included with your template).

Having a custom website page specifically for the client and their project makes the client feel special and shows that you care about the project.

The introductory section includes a space for your headshot, the client’s name, and the project you are pitching to.

A letter area can be used to thank the potential client for the opportunity and tell them why you are a good fit for the upcoming project.

Next up is the Selected Work section. Here you can upload relevant pieces and talk about each one’s relation to the client’s project.

Dividers

Dividers help break up the content on your website, giving your website clearly defined sections.

• The divider sections use your artwork as a backdrop, and so double as a showcase for your work.
• A parallax (scrolling background) is applied to your background illustration to make the site even more lively and dynamic.

How Pattern Designer is different from other Website Templates

1. What Art Directors want

We’ve spoken to busy art directors and clients who told us they want to view a clean, scannable website. And they want to be able to find what they are looking for quickly.

We strategically designed Pattern Designer with this in mind.

2. Customise to your branding

As you enter your brand colours and font styles – the whole website template automatically updates its fonts, colours, logos and icons to match.

3. Creative layout, that reflects you, and your art

Breakaway from generic, boxy style layouts seen with Squarespace and Shopify to a template design that reflects you as a creative artist.

• Inspired by printed books and magazines
• Organic, free-flowing design style
• True drag-and-drop website building
• Build your website using an interface that feels familiar to Adobe Illustrator and Indesign
• Code-free design!

4. All images & copy included

Unlike other website templates, every inspirational photo, illustration and, strategically written heading and body text comes with your purchase. Use these elements as a guide or as content for your site.
