Hey there! If you’re reading this, chances are you’re diving into the world of websites and trying to figure out which platform is the right fit for you. I’ve been there—it can feel like a lot, right? With so many options like Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, and (my favorite) Showit, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
As a web designer specializing in chic, minimalistic websites for photographers, artists, coaches, and entrepreneurs, I’ve tried them all. Each platform has its pros and cons, but Showit stole my heart, and today, I’m sharing the top five reasons why it’s the ultimate platform for your dream website.
1. Complete Creative Freedom (No Code Required!)
When I first started web design, I was drawn to the idea of creating unique, stand-out sites that didn’t feel like cookie-cutter templates. With Showit, the design possibilities are limitless. You can move, resize, and layer elements exactly where you want them—no coding needed.
Wix offers some drag-and-drop features, but they feel a bit rigid compared to Showit. Squarespace? Gorgeous templates, but good luck making them truly your own without some coding knowledge. And WordPress? While it’s powerful, you’ll likely need a developer to achieve the same level of customization. However, WordPress is still on my list because is intergrated with WordPress for the Blogging feature – so WordPress is here to stay.
2. A Designer’s Dream with User-Friendly Backend
One of my favorite things about Showit is how user-friendly it is—not just for me as a designer but for you as the website owner. After I’ve designed your site, you’ll find it’s super intuitive to update text, swap out images, and tweak content without breaking anything.
With WordPress, the backend often feels overwhelming, especially if you’re not tech-savvy. Squarespace is a bit simpler but still requires some trial and error. Showit strikes the perfect balance—it’s powerful yet approachable.

3. The Power of WordPress Blogging Without the Hassle
I get it—blogging is huge for many of you. Whether you’re a photographer sharing your latest shoots or a coach posting tips, a solid blogging platform is essential. Showit uses WordPress for its blogging backend, which means you get all the SEO perks and robust features of WordPress without the clunky design experience.
In comparison:
- Squarespace’s blogging tools are decent but lack advanced SEO customization.
- Wix? Let’s just say it’s not built with serious bloggers in mind.
- And WordPress itself? Great for blogging but comes with a steep learning curve.
Showit gives you the best of both worlds: WordPress power and Showit’s beautiful design.
4. Mobile Design Done Right
Let’s face it—most of your website visitors will likely be scrolling on their phones. Showit lets you design your desktop and mobile site separately, so you can ensure your mobile site looks just as amazing as your desktop version.
Other platforms like Wix and Squarespace have mobile responsiveness, but you’re stuck with automatic adjustments that don’t always look right. With Showit, you have full control. Trust me—it’s a game-changer.
5. Stellar Customer Support
Last but definitely not least, Showit’s customer support is phenomenal. Whether you’re troubleshooting an issue or just need advice, their team is friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable. It feels like having a tech-savvy bestie on speed dial.
I can’t say the same for the other platforms. WordPress? You’re on your own unless you hire help. Wix and Squarespace? They have support, but it’s not as personal or responsive as Showit’s team.
Why Showit Is the Perfect Fit for You
If you’re a photographer looking to showcase your portfolio, an artist wanting a site that feels like you, or an entrepreneur ready to make a statement online, Showit is hands down the best choice. It’s versatile, easy to use, and designed for creative businesses like yours.
