6 Reasons Why We Love Showit 

Why Showit Is Perfect for Business Owners Who Want to Be Hands-On With Their Website

a blog post on why showit is the best web design platform

Let’s be honest, as a business owner, you wear a lot of hats. You’re the CEO, social media manager, product photographer, and probably the person answering customer emails at midnight. The last thing you need is a website platform that makes you want to throw your laptop out the window every time you try to make an update.

Enter: Showit.
The website platform that’s so beautifully simple, even design newbies can make magic happen, while still looking like they hired a professional designer (because, hello, we can make it even better 😉).

What is showit?

Showit is a drag-and-drop website builder made for creatives, small business owners, and anyone who wants a beautiful, professional website-without having to learn how to code. Think Canva, but for your website.

Here’s why I’m obsessed with Showit:

  • No design background required. You don’t need to be a designer to create something that looks amazing.
  • No waiting on a developer. Make updates whenever you want, no more emailing someone for every little change.
  • Endless customization. You can tweak every detail until your site feels perfectly you.

Because here’s the truth: your website should grow and evolve right alongside your business—not just when your designer finally has an opening in their schedule.

Why I Choose Showit for My Own Website (Even as a Web Designer)

As a web designer who builds complex, custom sites for clients, you might expect my own website to be built on something intricate and code-heavy. But here’s the truth: I use Showit for my personal site.

Why? Because after spending all day designing and troubleshooting my clients’ websites, the last thing I want to do is wrestle with my own.

Don’t get me wrong, I love platforms like Elementor and WordPress. They’re powerful and flexible, and I use them often for client projects that need custom functionality. But let’s be real: with every update comes the risk of a crash or a plugin conflict (and I don’t always have the patience to fix my own site at 10 p.m.).

Showit gives me something I value more than complexity simplicity and reliability. It’s easy to update, visually intuitive, and doesn’t break when I make changes. I can jump in, tweak a headline, swap photos, or refresh a layout without touching a single line of code.

As someone who spends their creative energy on clients all day, I need my own online space to feel light, flexible, and frustration-free. Showit gives me exactly that, a beautiful, professional site that’s easy to maintain, so I can focus on what I do best: building incredible websites for my clients.

Why Showit?

1. No Code. No Tears.
Showit works like a drag-and-drop dream. You literally move text, photos, and buttons anywhere on the page, kind of like designing in Canva, but for your website. There’s no coding, no confusing backend menus, and no “oops I just broke the layout” panic. It’s made for visual thinkers and creatives who love to see what they’re building in real time.

2. You Can Actually Update It Yourself
Want to swap out a photo? Add a new testimonial? Update your prices or launch a new offer? With Showit, you don’t have to wait on a developer or beg your tech-savvy cousin for help. It’s intuitive and forgiving, meaning it’s hard to mess things up. (Trust me, I’ve seen some brave clicks, and Showit always survives.)

3. Beautiful, Customizable Templates
Even if you’re not ready for a full custom design, Showit templates (email me for more info) give you a stunning starting point. They’re designed to be fully customizable; fonts, colors, layouts, photos — everything can be tailored to fit your brand. You can have a polished, professional site in a fraction of the time it takes on other platforms.

4. SEO? Handled.
Yes, you can still show up on Google. Showit integrates seamlessly with WordPress for blogging, which means you get all the SEO power without the messy backend. You can design your site on Showit and manage your blog posts through WordPress: the best of both worlds.

5. Mobile Design Made Easy
Showit lets you design your desktop and mobile layouts separately, so your website always looks perfect no matter where it’s viewed. No weird cut-off text, no tiny buttons you can’t click — just a perfectly balanced experience for your visitors.

6. You’re in Control (Without Being Overwhelmed)
Showit was made for people who want the freedom to make updates, try new things, and grow their online presence without needing a developer every step of the way. It’s flexible enough for pros but simple enough for first-timers.
So whether you’re a photographer, service provider, or product-based business owner, Showit gives you that perfect balance: creative control + professional design = total confidence online.

Because let’s be real, when your website looks this good and is this easy to use, you’ll actually enjoy keeping it up to date.
