A one-page, Showit website template for adventurers who'd rather be outdoors than behind a screen.
ELDERWOOD
You started this business because you believe in the power of nature to heal, reset and transform rather than spending your Saturday watching web-design tutorials.
Elderwood is for wellness adventure guides and outdoor entrepreneurs, who want a website that actually works for them instead of one that... well, doesn't.
No design degree or tech skills required, you just need a couple hours and pictures of what you do best.
This is for you if you want to:
Spend your energy leading experiences, not tweaking margins
Stop second-guessing every design decision and just get it live!
Showcase your work, offerings and story in one, clean scroll
Launch a professional site w/o learning an entire new skill set
Your website shouldn't be the hardest mountain you climb
The Elderwood template comes with built-in copy to guide you, so you're never starting from scratch. Swap your photos, tweak the words and adjust your colors. That's it, the trail's already marked--you just have to walk it.
No steep learning curve here
But do I really need a website?
Your website books clients while you're out on the trail
Without a website:
With a website:
Another moment you looked less established than you are.
It’s giving people a place to say yes when they’re ready.
Let's say you’ve thought about putting together a website. Maybe even started one. But then life happened, and that half-finished draft is still sitting there collecting dusty pixels while you book clients through DMs and hope they don’t Google you. Yeeeah, I can relate.
It’s answering questions you don’t have time to answer.
It’s booking while you’re outside working.
That’s another person who couldn’t find you.
Another booking that went somewhere else.
Signals clarity about what you do and who you serve. You can also expand later when you're ready.
Launch faster, easier to maintain and quicker for you to customize.
One clear path to the CTA (reduces decision fatigue for your clients).
One page means one scroll, one story and one clear path to yes. Visitors see exactly what they need in the order they need to see it. No wandering. No dead ends. No seven tabs of content you don't have yet, and when you want to expand? You already have the foundation for it.
But why only one-page?
Lost in the weeds? Let's clear a trail.
I'm not super tech-savvy. Can I actually do this?
If you can upload a photo and type words, you can use this template. Showit is a drag-and-drop, user-friendly platform with a huge resource library that shows you exactly what to do.
Yes. Showit plans start at $19/month and include hosting. You'll import Elderwood directly into your Showit dashboard using the share key.

I'm not super tech-savvy. Can I actually do this?
You absolutely can. This template is designed to be a strong foundation. When you're ready to expand, you'll have a cohesive design system to build from.

What if I want to add more pages later?
A custom website can run $3,000 to $10,000+ and take weeks (or months) to complete. Elderwood gives you a professionally designed, conversion-focused site you can launch this week for a fraction of the cost.

Why Elderwood was made
I'm Manalei, a web designer for outdoor brands.
P.S. More's coming. Follow along on IG.
I built Elderwood because too many adventurous entrepreneurs have websites that don't match how good they actually are. With 15 years in big tech, I figured I could help.
This is the template I wish I could hand every client who needs something professional, without the custom price tag.
some Irrelevant, fun facts
did i splurge on a mirrorless camera b/c i was inspired by landscape photographer, cath simard?
what are my goals w/my business?
Yes, yes, I did. Am I just as good as Cath Simard? Absolutely not.
To connect with like-minded people, and as a sheltered, geeky, introvert... to grow.
what awakened my soul to start my biz?
Standing on a frozen part of Lake Tahoe--the views were surreal. First time visiting despite being a Bay Area native.

what makes me qualified
While I love tech, my creative tank was very low and something needed to change.
I've spent the past 4 years dabbling in web design... perfecting, questioning, and tweaking. I feel like I could write a book at this point, but my focus is helping others, specifically outdoor creatives get their work out into the world, because our planet is special and will always need a helping hand of letting others know that.
Ever since I was little, tech has always been a consistent passion. But what really helped me build a mental fortitude of "hey I can do this" is the past 15 years of working in big tech as a QA engineer.

Elderwood is currently available at a special founding price of $247 (regularly $297).
This price is reserved for the first 5 outdoor brands who purchase while I build case studies and gather testimonials.
Once those spots are claimed, the template will return to its regular price.
