We Made a Severance Fan Page With Showit

Ever wondered what creative freedom really looks like when designing a website? Wonder no more! Our brilliant Kat, Art Director at Showit, took on the fun challenge of creating a brand-new Severance fan page for the popular TV series.

If you haven’t seen it, Severance is a sci-fi psychological thriller about Mark Scout (Adam Scott), an employee at Lumon Industries, where a wild “severance” procedure splits workers’ memories into two lives: their “Innies,” who only know work, and “Outies,” who are clueless about their jobs. The show dives into the ethics, mystery, and drama of this dual existence, with season one earning critical acclaim, multiple awards, and a huge fan following.

The buzz around the long-awaited Severance season 2 is real, especially with nearly three years since its debut. The show’s marketing team has done some creative things, like setting up a LinkedIn page for the fictional Lumon Industries (yes, it’s real!)—but surprisingly, it doesn’t have an interesting website to go with it! So we went ahead and created a Severance Fan Landing page.

How did we capture the show’s unique vibe on a landing page using Showit? Kat had a genius idea: mixing and matching canvases from our FREE TEMPLATES to create something fresh and fun.

Follow along as we walk you through the steps to design your own creative masterpiece!

Severance Fan Page Step 1. Start with the Template

Kat chose the free “Folio” template because it had a great color scheme and pixel icons that matched the show’s low-tech meets high-tech vibe. She paired it with the Google font “Michroma” for its similar typography feel.

Severance Fan Page Step 2. Create a Baffling Intro

Inspired by the confusing start of season one, she rearranged process canvases from the About page to be the first thing visitors see. To make it playful, she adjusted the offset values so the canvases overlap and added the iconic quote from the “tools” scene to close the opening sequence.

Severance Fan Page Step 3. Add a Show Clip

• The next canvas features a clip from the trailer, revealed through side-to-side moving shapes for a dynamic intro.

Severance Fan Page Step 4. Segway with Scrolling Text

To transition into employee bios, Kat added scrolling text of Lumon’s nine core principles (reused this element from the Cartera template Home Page- Scrolling Expertise Canvas to save time)

Severance Fan Page Step 5. Design Employee Bios

Kat used the testimonials section from the Fortitude template, swapping out review boxes for floating severance badge PNGs. For the bios themselves, she modified the Services canvas from the “Folio” template to create a cohesive employee file layout.

Severance Fan Page Step 6. Embed a YouTube trailer

The next canvas features an embedded YouTube trailer for season one as a tribute. While considering using the season two trailer, this site felt more like a love letter to season one.

Step 7. Add Iconic Quotes

Iconic quotes from the characters were a must-have, so hover effects and canvas views were used to bring them to life.

Step 8. Add The Episode List

Kat duplicated the Fortitude Template– Services canvas to showcase all nine episodes.

Step 9. Add a Countdown Timer

To complete the page, she added a countdown timer using Northfolk’s free code and tutorials—super simple and effective!

And that’s it, friends. Thanks for checking out our Severance fan page.

One of our favorite things about Showit is how easily you can pull canvases from different free templates, either as-is or customized to match your design. And Kat showed us how to do just that! We hope you enjoyed this!
