📝 The video discusses the design of websites for Showit.co, specifically focusing on showcasing various products.

🛍️ The creator plans to have a separate section for different products like soaps, bath items, and candles.

🔍 Rather than having a prominent shop section, the shop option will be placed towards the bottom of the page to emphasize the diverse range of offerings.

🖼️ Choosing a visually appealing image for the website was challenging due to its dark appearance, but the Pompous Grass image with a beige tone was selected.

💻 Compressing images before exporting them for website building can save a lot of time and effort, as resizing them later on the site can be troublesome.

🔤 A script font was purchased from Create a Market and will be used consistently throughout the website.

🎨 Adding a colored box behind the reviews section to make it visually appealing.

🔲 Maintaining consistency by using boxed areas throughout the site.

💡 The designer added consistent elements throughout the webpage to create visual cohesion.

💻 A shop area was included at the bottom of the webpage to allow for quick shopping.
