Let’s talk about the “almost” website.
You know the one — it’s 90% done.
You’ve written, re-written, and rewritten again. You’ve spent hours perfecting button spacing, re-selecting brand colours, and obsessing over whether that one image feels “too much like stock.”
And yet… it’s still sitting there. Unpublished. Hidden. Waiting for perfect.
Here’s the truth — perfect doesn’t exist.
And even if it did, it wouldn’t convert better than a clear, confident, and live website.
If you’ve been holding off on launching until it’s flawless, this is your gentle nudge to pour a drink, take a breath, and hit publish.
Let’s talk about why “done” is the most underrated design strategy you’ll ever use.
1. Progress beats perfection, always
Every website you admire — every coach, creative, and business owner who “has it all together” online — started with something imperfect.
The difference? They launched anyway.
Momentum creates clarity. The longer you wait for perfect, the longer your dream clients wait to find you.
So instead of asking, “Is it perfect yet?” start asking, “Is it ready enough to help someone today?
2. You can always evolve
One of the best parts about working with Showit templates? You’re never locked in.
Your website isn’t a forever decision — it’s a living, breathing part of your business.
You can update your offers, tweak your copy, or refine your visuals anytime (without begging a developer to help).
Your first launch doesn’t need to be final. It just needs to be the start.
3. Focus on what matters most
When you strip away the perfectionism, what really makes a website work comes down to three things:
✨ Clarity — can visitors tell who you are and what you offer in 5 seconds?
✨ Ease — can they find what they’re looking for quickly?
✨ Connection — does your brand feel like you?
Everything else — fonts, filters, footer spacing — can come later.
4. Perfection is the enemy of momentum
Perfectionism is just procrastination dressed up in good intentions.
You tell yourself, “I’ll launch next week when I’ve just fixed…” and then next week becomes next month, and suddenly, your business is waiting on something that doesn’t exist.
Done builds confidence.
Done builds visibility.
Done gets results.
And you can refine, rework, and rebrand as you grow — because you will.
5. Launching is how you learn
The only way to know what works is to get your website out there.
Analytics, feedback, engagement — all of it comes after you publish.
The sooner you launch, the sooner you can learn, optimise, and grow.
Besides, your audience isn’t looking for perfect — they’re looking for you.
🥂 The Final Pour
Your website doesn’t have to be flawless to be effective — it just has to exist.
Because when you show up, even imperfectly, your business moves forward.
You open doors. You create connection. You take up space.
So, here’s your sign: pour something sparkly, press “publish,” and celebrate what you’ve built.
✨ Your website is ready — and so are you.
