The Top 8 Reasons We Swear by Showit

We’ve designed on just about every website platform out there.

Some of them are painfully limiting, and others are way too complicated 😵‍💫

That’s why we’re all-in on Showit.

Showit lets us design without restrictions and gives our clients & customers a site that actually works for their business.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or switching from Squarespace, WordPress, Wix, or another platform, you’re probably wondering: Why Showit?

Let’s break it down.

1. It’s like Canva for websites—but even better

If you like how you can drag and drop text and images in Canva, you’ll love Showit.

Unlike platforms that lock you into rigid templates or grid systems, Showit gives total creative freedom. That means you can make your site look exactly how you want, without weird workarounds or clunky code.

Place anything anywhere—no columns, no rows, no “Sorry, you can’t do that.”

Layer, overlap, and animate design elements for a site that actually feels fun.

Use custom fonts, icons, and textures so your brand looks exactly how you want it.

Even if you’re not tech-savvy, updating your site is as easy as clicking, typing, and dragging things around.

2. You get a fully custom mobile site

Ever visit a site that looks amazing on desktop but not great on your phone? 😬

A lot of website builders auto-generate a mobile version that’s clunky, hard to navigate, or missing important content.

With Showit, you can edit your mobile site separately, so it’s just as beautiful and user-friendly as your desktop version.

Want to remove something from mobile? Shrink an image? Change the layout?
No problem! You have full control.

3. Built-In SEO, so your site gets found on Google

Having a beautiful website is great—but if no one can find it, what’s the point?
The good news is, Showit has all the SEO tools you need built right in.

Custom SEO Titles & Meta Descriptions

Easily set the title and description for each page so Google (and your visitors) know exactly what your site is about.

Optimized Images & File Names

Showit makes it simple to upload fast-loading, properly named images (which Google loves and helps your site rank better).

A WordPress Blog (without the clunky design)

If blogging is part of your marketing strategy, you’ll be thrilled to know that Showit comes with a WordPress blog built-in. That means you get all the SEO benefits of the world’s most powerful blogging platform, but with a Showit-designed blog that looks wayyy better than a clunky WordPress theme.

4. Fast, friendly support (no more endless Googling)

Tech hiccups happen, but with Showit, you don’t have to waste hours digging through forums for answers—help is always easy to find:

🛠 Live Chat Support

Built right into the Showit platform, so you can get answers fast from a real human (not a bot!). Bonus: They sometimes send memes, and honestly, they might be the best part of our day.

📖 Simple Help Docs & Tutorials

No confusing jargon or endless steps—just straightforward, easy-to-follow guides that make troubleshooting a breeze.

🤝 A Real Community (Not Just a Facebook Group!)

Showit’s dedicated support hub is filled with fellow users, designers, and Showit’s own team, answering questions and sharing updates daily.

Whether you need a quick fix or a deep-dive answer, you’ll never be left hanging—which is not something we can say for every platform.

5. It’s perfect for service-based businesses

Showit is a powerhouse for all kinds of service providers—wedding planners, designers, coaches, stylists, realtors, wellness pros, and more.

Why? Because service-based businesses don’t need a cookie-cutter template—they need a highly customized, personality-packed website that attracts and books dream clients.

And Showit does that better—and makes it easier—than any other platform.

What if you also sell products?

You can pair Showit with Shopify or WooCommerce to get both a fully customized website and a powerful, easy-to-manage online shop.

When is Showit not the best choice?

If you need advanced functionality—like a membership site or a custom web app—Showit may not be the best fit on its own. However, you can often pair Showit with platforms like WordPress, Kajabi, or Teachable to get the best of both worlds.

6. No plug-ins or random updates breaking your site

If you’ve ever had a WordPress plugin update crash your entire site (cue panic 😱), you know how frustrating it can be. With Showit:

🚫 No random theme or plugin updates breaking things.
🚫 No security worries or constant patches.
🚫 No hacking nightmares (WordPress sites get hacked a lot).

Plus, Showit handles the hosting of your site, so there’s no need to stress about site speed, security, or backups. Your website will be running on reliable Amazon servers, and you’ll never have to deal with a frustrating hosting company.

Instead, your site runs smoothly in the background while you focus on what you do best.

7. White-glove blog migration

Switching platforms can feel intimidating when you have a large number of blog posts to transfer, but Showit makes it seamless.

If you’re moving from WordPress or Squarespace, Showit’s team will migrate your blog content for you—for free. 🎉
