showit design support
This business was created for you… the overwhelmed mama trying to do all the things
Your priority is “mama-first” but you still have big dreams and goals for your business…
It’s so tough it is to maintain those priorities when it seems like every other business you follow on insta is growing, launching new ideas, or is living out your goals. You want to fully be present in those precious snuggles, or gleeful giggles, but your brain is getting bogged down by the to-do list for your client.
I’ve been there. I know the tears and frustrations. You’re in the right place.
This is when I make my Mia Thermopolis, Prin-cess of Genovia appearance!
Showit design support *wizard*.
meet your designer
I’m Robyn and I work with Showit Designers who need a little (or a lot) of help balancing motherhood and business
I help with done-for-you design support, whether it’s checking off the final cherry-on-top revisions, or a back pocket monthly support designer - all while you squish your kiddos and your business thrives.
I left my job as a hairstylist after salon culture beat me into the ground because I wanted this - to ADORE what I do while getting to raise tiny human(s). I thought that being a hairstylist would eventually allow me to stay at home with my kids while also still help support our family.
Turns out, it didn’t quite hit the nail on the head.
I took a leap, invested in a course, and found web design. It wasn’t until I was a year or two into my business that I finally had this epiphany… not all brains are built for tech! Naive as it may sound, I trully thought everyone could just figure out how to build websites, loved the nitty-gritty and served with excellence.
So I did what most businesses have to do at some point - PIVOT. My custom design services went out the window and I rolled out my *new and improved* Showit Development services. Built by Robyn Hango was born.
For the girl with the life-long track record of being a neat freak, building your flawlessly designed websites? It's enough to make me weak in the knees.
Just ask my mom how many times I was asked to clean my room as a child…
Like I said, around here? We do things with excellence.
There’s been many twists and turns in my business that have brought me closer to being able to really serve my client BFF’s while still making my business work for my family, rather than the other way around. It’s not always been easy, and yes, I have fallen off the path and gotten distracted by shiner things. That’s why we can’t do business alone.
I honestly doubt any designer with the all important role of mama goes through this without tears and wanting to throw in the towel at some point. Not everyone is going to understand what you’re doing, or why your values are so counter cultural. My hope is that our work together can save you even a *few* tears, and that you’ll feel like you have a cheerleader on this journey.
And yes, finessing a site to perfection does gives me thrills, but honestly? What gets me up in the morning, besides my daughter yelling at me at 5:30am, is helping designers grow and thrive their design business while maintaining those family first boundaries.

When I’m not helping you kick website overwhelm to the curb, you can find me just outside Calgary AB, where I live with my hubby and sweet 2 yr old redheaded girly, daydreaming about our someday chickens and wearing my crunchy, tin-foil hat.
I'd take off my tin-foil hat and stop squishing my baby's chunky thighs (briefly), to get to work with someone like YOU!
so? What do you think?
if you stand for nothing, girl, what will you fall for?
I’m not about for marketing ploys, #girlboss life, or hustle culture…
Here’s what I am about...
no. 1
Honesty, excellence, and communication - almost to a fault. Could maybe ditch a client email here and there.
no. 2
Showit! You won’t find any Squarespace tips & tricks and certainly no plugs for Wix. Heaven forbid…
no. 3
Bringing website dreams to life! The idea of linking buttons and aligning text may drive you *totally crazy*, but truthfully, it lights. me. up.
no. 4
Supporting and working alongside other mama's in business who share my values. Let's be honest here, stay-at-home mom isn't exactly a job that's praised in our culture.
