Did the age bring ya here… I swear it’s not clickbait. I was only 15 when I first started designing my showit website. Yes I was that girl that was starting a business before she could even drive. Nothing says profesionalism like “yes I can shoot your senior pictures, but could your mom pick me up?” What’s even wilder is that they actually did, and It was so fun. BUT back to why we’re here…
It’s now 10 years later and I STILL use Showit. Will I ever switch? No, because the one time I tried Squarespace I wanted to die- so we’re sticking with what’s always been good to us.

What Is Showit, and Why Is It So Good?
Sooo If you’re unsure: Showit is a drag-and-drop website builder created for creatives, service providers, and anyone who wants their site to look custom without needing to touch code. Think of it like Canva-but for your website.
But if you’re here you might already know about the ease of features they talk about, youre here for the actual tea…
Why I’ve Stayed Loyal to Showit for Over 10 Years
They haven’t given me a reason to leave. That plain and simple. I feel freedom, I feel supoorted if anything went south, and I feel excited about my website template most importantly.
You should too…
1. Showit Grows with You- From Scrappy Start to Established Pro
Soo remember when I said I was 15 when I was navigating building a website on showit… yeah ALL truth. At the time I started a photography business and good ole google was the telling me
was the best place for photographer websites. SO off I went and quite literally stayed for a decade.
As my clients’ needs evolved and projects changed, I never outgrew Showit. I didn’t have to switch platforms, migrate content, or learn a whole new system every time I leveled up.
It’s scalable without being complicated, and that’s a combo I’ll never stop loving.
2. Clients Can Actually Use It (No Panic Clicking Involved)
You know what I don’t want? Clients calling me in a panic two weeks after launch because they can’t change a headline or update a photo. Like what a fun suck. But with the training videos I send clients as well as their amazing customer support showit is so stinkin easy to navigage.
I’ve worked with dozens of clients who’ve said, “I’m not tech-savvy,” and within five minutes they’re editing their own site confidently. This is what it looks like if you were to start designing:
Here’s why:
- Drag-and-drop interface ( THANK YEWW)
- No weird hidden backends ( we dont like sneaky)
- No code or confusion (because wtf is that nonsense)
- What you see is literally what you get
As a Showit designer, I can confidently hand off a site knowing my clients feel like they have the support they need to take over and update their website as they need to.
3. Total Creative Freedom (Without Needing a Dev Team)
This might be my favorite part: Showit lets us design without limits.
Want overlapping text and custom graphics?
Want a layout that allows you to have fun?
Want your site to look like your brand feels?
Showit says YES.
It’s not locked into a grid. It’s not limited to premade sections. I can literally design whatever I dream up- and that’s exactly what makes my work unique for each client.
No two Showit sites I design look the same. And that’s the point.
But to answer a few Main questions I often hear:
Is Showit the best for SEO?
To be so honest, it doesn’t matter what platform you use SEO is in your hands. Does Showit make SEO feel easier to navigate- I would say yes. But do they drive sites more than any other platform, No.
Google will make decisions NOT based on what platform you use, but by the quality of the site through SEO’s eyes. Do your images have correct titles, Do you have meta descriptions, are your H1 tags correct, is your site backlinked, etc.
Those are the things that put you above your competitior.
How does blogging work with showit websites?
Although it’s not directly within the site builder showit works with wordpress for blogging. And as a designer I would never use wordpress for anything other than blogging. It looks something like this:
If blogging is something you want to dive into- get the mid to high tier option within their subscriptions.
