Showit is popular with photographers, wedding vendors, and creative businesses. It connects custom domains via DNS, and adding a Trust Center requires one CNAME record — no canvas edits, no code widgets.
Showit and DNS
Showit asks you to add DNS records at your registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Squarespace Domains, etc.) to connect your custom domain. Add the Trust Center CNAME record alongside your existing Showit DNS entries.
Adding the CNAME record
Type: CNAME
Name: trust
Value: trustcenter.pro
TTL: Auto or 3600Add this at your registrar. Your Showit website is completely unaffected.
Why creative businesses need compliance pages
Photography and creative businesses collect client names, email addresses, event details, and sometimes sensitive personal information (wedding dates, family details). They frequently use client galleries (Pixieset, Pic-Time, Cloudspot) and CRM tools (Honeybook, Dubsado) that process personal data on their behalf. GDPR and UK GDPR apply to all of this if any clients are EU or UK based.
Photographers also frequently run email marketing (newsletters, styled shoot announcements), which requires consent records and an unsubscribe mechanism. A Trust Center with a clear privacy policy protects both the business and the client relationship.
Showit and WordPress blog
Many Showit sites use a WordPress blog as the backend. If your site is a Showit/WordPress hybrid, add the Trust Center CNAME in the same DNS panel you used to set up both. The trust subdomain is independent of both Showit and WordPress.
Adding a footer link in Showit
In the Showit canvas editor, open your footer canvas, add a text or button element, and link to https://trust.yourdomain.com. Mark the footer as the site-wide footer to ensure the link appears on every page.
