Showit is my preferred website hosting platform for clients. As a web designer, I’ve worked with several builders from Squarespace to Wix, but Showit website design is the best one for a beautiful, streamlined website. I love the creative freedom it brings so I can truly make my client’s vision come to life.
I rebranded my own website earlier this year and knew I wanted to use Showit. I was on WordPress before, but it looked super generic and I struggled to customize or personalize the design. I had a plan in mind and by using Showit, it turned out exactly how I wanted it. I recommend Showit constantly because I think it’s the best option for creative entrepreneurs.
Choosing the right platform matters for businesses. If you’re needing custom development work or elevated functionality, you might consider something more technically focused, but for the most part, Showit is my go-to for the custom design and SEO my clients need. This blog goes more in-depth on why Showit web design is my top choice for new or rebranded websites.

1. Intuitive Drag-and-Drop Interface
The drag-and-drop feature makes Showit super easy for my clients to use after I’m done building their website. Small changes will come up over time and it’s important to have a website builder that’s easy to use. You don’t want to feel like you have to hire someone or spend hours Googling how-to guides every time you have a minor update! Other platforms like WordPress and Squarespace might have steeper learning curves, but Showit was made for even the non-tech-savvy business owners out there. You don’t even need to know how to code!
2. True Creative Freedom
With that drag-and-drop feature, you get true creative freedom. You can design literally anything you want in Showit. Other platforms are constrained with templates or themes that restrict your creative options. Although Showit does offer templates to get started, you can change anything about them, or start from scratch.

3. Seamless Integration with WordPress
Did you know that Showit and WordPress work together to help you manage a blog? Blogging is fantastic for SEO and I recommend all my clients blog regularly! Showit integrates with WordPress to help you do that. So even though my website is designed in Showit, the content of my blogs lives in WordPress. This allows you to combine Showit’s design freedom with WordPress’s SEO and content management capabilities.
Pro Tip: Install the Yoast plug-in to get customized SEO advice on every blog you publish.
4. Responsive Design Made Easy
Google indexes websites first on mobile, then on desktop, so making sure your website has a responsive design is crucial! The images, text, and other design elements should automatically adjust to the size of the user’s screen. If it doesn’t, it can result in poor user experience, which can negatively affect your SEO.
Showit makes mobile responsive designs easy. In the Showit design tool, you can toggle between mobile and desktop to see how your design looks on both screen sizes. You may need to make some adjustments, but typically, Showit will resize design elements for you.
5. Excellent SEO Functionality
SEO is a core part of my Showit website design process. I want your website to be beautiful and optimized for search engines. So before I dig into the design, I make a plan for the SEO on each page. Showit’s SEO functionality makes my plans super easy to implement. I add your metadata, alt text, and optimized URL slug right there in Showit. When I publish your website, your SEO will be live right away. Here is everything I do from an SEO perspective!
6. Perfect for Creative Entrepreneurs
In my opinion, Showit’s website design is perfect for creative entrepreneurs: photographers, coaches, bloggers, marketers, and other creatives. As a creative, you want your website to reflect your personality, creativity, and unique features that set you apart from your competition. Showit design allows you to do all that and more.
7. Amazing Support Team
I’ve had some funky migration or integration issues come up for clients and their support team is amazing to work with. They respond quickly and always have an answer to my questions. Sometimes they even fix the issue right on the spot! You can live chat with them or search through their expert-curated help articles.
8. Scalability and Flexibility
Showit is designed to grow with your business. You may grow out of other website-building platforms because they don’t offer the functionality you now need. Showit has everything you need as you grow. Did you decide to offer e-commerce alongside your services? Add a sales page and checkout functionality to your website. Want to start a podcast? Embed your show on a new landing page. The opportunities are endless!
