What is Showit?

Showit website samples
I do work with a lot of amazing photographers, but I’ve also used Showit to design and build websites for a stationery designer, florist, dog groomer, and so many small businesses in diverse industries.
The SEO benefits of WordPress without custom code
Most SEO experts recommend WordPress for SEO. The best part about Showit is that you get all of the WordPress benefits, without having to code a thing! The design of your website is set up in Showit’s easy-to-use platform. But if you want to boost your rankings, Showit integrates with WordPress for blogging!
WordPress is one of the most powerful blogging platforms out there and I love that my clients get to use all the amazing features it has to offer for their Showit websites. Click here to learn more about blogging on Showit.
Complete control over the look
If you want an image at the top with text there and a call to action below, you can make that happen with no coding at all. You just add a text box, an image and a button. It’s that easy! They also have templates if design isn’t your forte.
As a custom designer for the platform, I start every custom project with a completely blank white page and build up from there. It’s almost like designing a website in Illustrator or Canva, honestly. This allows me to build websites that are unique to each client.
The platform is easy to learn!
Of course, there’s always a learning curve with any new program but it’s much easier than learning other website platforms I’ve used. I teach my clients how to use the builder if they aren’t already familiar with it, and after an hour or two of training, they are confident about updating their website without me.
Amazing customer service
Showit has a wonderful support team that helps with ALL aspects of editing, launching, etc. And they have some pretty awesome help documents filled with everything you need to know to update your website too. All these resources helped me to master the platform as a designer pretty quickly.
Supportive community
Also, there’s an amazing and supportive community of Showit website designers and users out there. If you need help, want ideas or just want to get some feedback, you can find a whole community of small business owners here.
