Relatable, raw and tactical business trainings to keep you moving towards your big goals. I’m Elizabeth McCravy — a website designer and business strategist for female entrepreneurs. And, I’ve built a multiple six-figure web design business while in my early and mid 20s. I believe that how to build a thriving business shouldn’t be a secret. So, I’m here to pull back the curtain of all things successful business building. I'm a Christian business owner, a toddler boy mama (with baby #2 on the way), and I'm married to my high school sweetheart. I design and sell Showit website templates over at elizabethmccravy.com. I teach fellow brand and website designers how to build an in-demand business in my course and coaching program, Booked Out Designer. And, I've been a podcaster/content creator for years now. I also do real estate investing and my husband and I own 5 long-term rental properties! I believe in working smarter, building wealth through scalable income, and building your business around your LIFE... not your life around your business.
