What Is Showit? (And Is It Right for Your Creative Business?)

If you’re a creative entrepreneur looking to redesign your website, you’ve probably heard the name Showit floating around. But what is it, exactly? And more importantly, is it the right platform for you?

At Pop Impact™, we use Showit to build bold, user-friendly, high-converting websites for purpose-driven brands—and for good reason.

Let’s break down what Showit is, what it’s not, and how to know if it’s the platform your business has been waiting for.

What Is Showit?

Showit is a drag-and-drop website builder that gives you total design freedom, no coding required.

Imagine if Canva and WordPress had a baby. That’s Showit.

It lets you:

• Design anything you want, exactly how you want it
• Customize both desktop and mobile views
• Connect to a WordPress blog (with the best of both worlds)
• Add your own branding, layout, and flow

Who Is Showit For?

Showit was originally designed with photographers in mind but it’s evolved into a go-to platform for all kinds of creative entrepreneurs:

• Wedding & event pros
• Designers & brand studios
• Coaches & course creators
• Lifestyle brands
• Creatives who want their personality to pop

If you’re the kind of business owner who cares about design, creativity, and a website that doesn’t feel like a boring template, Showit might be your perfect match. 😉

What Makes Showit Different From Other Website Platforms?

No rigid templates. No clunky builder. No coding stress.
Here’s how it stands out:

Feature	Showit	Squarespace	Wix	WordPress
Design Freedom	✅ Total control (drag anything anywhere)	⚠️ Section-based	⚠️ Some flexibility	⚠️ Depends on theme
Ease of Use	✅ Beginner-friendly	✅ Easy, but more limiting	✅ Easy, less elegant	❌ Steep learning curve
Blogging	✅ Uses WordPress (best of both)	✅ Basic	✅ Basic	✅ Advanced (but complex)
Mobile Design	✅ Custom mobile view	⚠️ Auto-adapts only	⚠️ Limited editing	⚠️ Requires extra work
SEO Potential	✅ Strong, with setup	✅ Great	✅ Decent	✅ Excellent (with plugins)

What Showit Is Not

Let’s keep it real, Showit isn’t perfect for everyone.

• If you’re building a large ecommerce store, Shopify might be a better fit.
• If you want ultra-minimalist templates you can plug into instantly, Squarespace could work.
• If you’re obsessed with plugins and full backend control, WordPress may still be your thing.

But if you want full creative freedom, a beautiful website that works for your brand, and a platform you can actually update yourself, Showit is your go-to!
