If you've heard me rave about Showit and thought "okay, but what is that?" — this page is for you. Here's the platform I build on, why I'm slightly obsessed, and how it actually works. No tech degree required.
Showit?
So, what's the deal with
How It Works
Most website builders hand you a rigid template and say "good luck." Showit hands you a blank canvas and total design freedom — you (or I) can place anything, anywhere, exactly how you picture it. It's drag-and-drop, so there's no coding, ever.
The magic part: it also has a built-in WordPress blog. So you get gorgeous, custom design and serious blogging and SEO power, all in one place. That combo is why designers love it — and why your site won't look like everyone else's.
or people who care how it looks.
Showit is a website builder
The short version
You can run it yourself
Once it's built, updating your own site is genuinely easy — drag, drop, type, publish. No going back to a developer every time you need to change a word.
Our reasons it beats the drag-your-feet template builders most people start on.
A real blog, built in
The integrated WordPress blog means powerful SEO and proper blogging — so you can actually get found on Google, not just look pretty.
Your mobile site, designed separately
Showit lets your phone layout be its own thing, not a squished version of desktop. Half your visitors are on mobile — this is why your site looks intentional there, too.

What makes Showit
True design freedom
No rigid grids, no "you can't move that." Every element goes exactly where you want it, so your site looks designed — not assembled from a template everyone else is using too.

no.2 - Start with a design
Begin from a custom design I build for you, or a template you load in with one click. No blank-page panic.
no.1 - Get a Showit account
no.4 -Connect & publish
Hook up your domain, hit publish, and you're live. Updating later is just as easy.
Whether I build it for you or you DIY a template, the path looks like this.
no.3 - Make it yours
Drag, drop, swap colors, fonts, photos, and words on the visual canvas. What you see is what you get.

Short version: if you want it to look truly custom and rank well, Showit wins. If you just need something basic up fast, the others are fine.

How it stacks up against
Showit vs. the others
Showit's the perfect fit if you care about design, want a site that looks like you, and plan to blog or be found on Google. It's especially great for creatives, service providers, and local businesses ready to look the part.
If you only need a one-page placeholder, it might be more than you need — and I'll tell you that honestly. Otherwise? It's hard to beat.

Is it right for you?
And of course — you've always got me. Every site and template comes with guides, and I'm a message away when you need a hand.
no.3 - The Showit Community
Showit runs an active community over on Circle — thousands of designers and business owners sharing tips, answering questions, and cheering each other on. You're joining a whole crowd, not going it alone.
no.2 - The Showit Help Center
A deep, well-organized library of step-by-step guides, tutorials, and videos for just about anything you'd want to do. Whatever you're trying to figure out, there's almost always an article for it.
no.1 - Built-in live support
Showit has real human support right inside the platform — chat with their team without leaving your editor. Quick questions get quick answers, from people who actually know the tool.
One of the quietest perks of Showit: the support is genuinely good. If you ever get stuck, here's everyone in your corner.
everywhere
Help is you look.
You won't be on your own
Answered.
Every project and template comes with guides, and I'm reachable if you need a hand. You won't be left figuring it out alone.
What if I get stuck running it later?
In most cases, yes — your content comes with you, rebuilt beautifully on Showit. Reach out and we'll talk through your specific situation.
Can I move my existing site to Showit?
Your call. I can design and build it fully custom, customize a template for you, or hand you a template to DIY. Three ways in.
Do you build the site, or do I?
Yes, it's a subscription with monthly and annual plans — including one with the built-in WordPress blog. You'll need an account to build and publish your site.
Does Showit cost money?
Very. The built-in WordPress blog gives you real SEO power, and I set every site up to be found — by Google and by AI search.
Is it good for SEO?
Nope — Showit is fully drag-and-drop. If you can move things around on a screen, you can use it. And if you'd rather not, that's what I'm here for.
