The studio
We make websites for people who notice the details.
Aurelia Studio is a two-person design studio in California. Since 2019 we have made one thing: Showit templates good enough that a photographer with taste will actually use them.
We are not a marketplace and we are not a course. We ship about four templates a year, update them forever, and answer the email ourselves.

How it started
A template shop built by people who build sites.
In 2019 Camille was an art director at a print magazine who kept getting asked the same question by photographer friends: “can you make my website look like your layouts?” She built three sites by hand. Then a fourth. Then she stopped sleeping.
The templates started as those builds — the same layouts, generalised so anyone could use them. They were never meant to be a product. They were meant to answer that question without taking three weeks.
Seven years later the studio is two people plus a type consultant, and the answer is still the same: a site that looks like it took a season, launchable in an afternoon. We still design every page in Figma first and rebuild it in Showit by hand, because that is the only way to know it will not fall apart when you edit it.
That is the whole business. No marketplace, no agency retainers, no template subscription. Buy once, get the updates, email us if something breaks.
Principles
Four rules we do not bend.
They are as much a filter for what we say no to as a description of the work.
One system, not a collage
Each template is drawn from a single grid and type scale. If a section does not fit the system, it does not ship.
Built for the second year
A site should still make sense after you have added forty weddings to it. We design for growth, not for the launch screenshot.
Editable by a human
No locked layers, no mystery code. If you can drag a box, you can change this site — that is the whole point of Showit.
Sell honestly
One-time price, plain license, refund if it is not right. No upsell funnel, no subscription hiding in the footer.
The people
Small on purpose.

Ten templates, one standard. Every one of them is a site we would happily put our own name on.
