One of my favorite parts of working with Showit is the ability to customize templates to truly reflect a brand’s unique personality. Recently, I had the privilege of customizing my Dylan template for Dine Parlare, a North Carolina-based wedding industry networking dining event dedicated to fostering meaningful conversations among wedding professionals.

Founder Lauren O’Brien approached me with a beautifully established brand, but she needed a website that matched her colorful, eclectic, and editorial aesthetic. She wanted something that not only reflected her brand’s personality but also provided an engaging and seamless experience for potential attendees.

Bringing Dine Parlare’s Brand to Life on Showit

Lauren’s vision was clear—she wanted a website that felt vibrant, editorial, and polished, without losing the welcoming and intimate feel of her networking events. Here’s how I customized the Dylan template to bring her brand to life:

  • Color Palette & Typography: I incorporated her existing brand colors to maintain consistency and recognition. The typography choices balanced editorial elegance with a modern touch.
  • Dynamic Layouts: To create an engaging experience, I used bold imagery, layered design elements, and unique section layouts that mirror the artistic and lively nature of Dine Parlare.
  • Seamless User Experience: Navigation was optimized for an easy flow, making it simple for visitors to learn about upcoming events, register, and connect with the Dine Parlare community.
  • Custom Touches: I added subtle yet impactful details—like hover effects, parallax scrolling, and strategic call-to-action placements—to elevate the website’s sophistication while keeping it inviting.

The finished website beautifully represents Dine Parlare’s mission—a space where wedding professionals come together to build connections through intentional conversations and shared experiences.
