Showit is a no-code, drag-and-drop website builder designed specifically with creatives in mind. Unlike traditional platforms that box you into templates or require CSS knowledge for anything custom, Showit gives you complete creative freedom.
Think of it like Photoshop meets a website builder—minus the coding. You can drag, drop, resize, and layer anything, anywhere. Fonts, images, videos, animations, backgrounds—every detail is customizable. If you can dream it, you can build it.
Showit also seamlessly integrates with WordPress for blogging, giving you the visual flexibility of Showit with the blogging power and SEO structure of WordPress. That means you get the visual freedom of a designer’s toolkit with the strategic muscle of a robust blogging engine.

Let’s be real: most website builders aren’t built for creatives. They’re built for businesses that care more about function than form. And while that’s fine for some, it’s not great when your brand is your business.
Here’s why Showit is such a game-changer for creatives:
Showit is one of the only platforms that allows total creative freedom without needing to touch a single line of code. You’re not stuck in grids or restricted sections. Showit lets you design completely custom layouts—no “template box” restrictions.
You can stack images with text overlays, move elements off-grid, or add custom fonts and animations. The only limit is your imagination.
Showit uses WordPress for the blog back end—so you’re not missing out on SEO tools like Yoast or RankMath. You get to design SEO-rich layouts and control metadata, alt text, headers, and site performance.
Over 60% of web traffic now comes from mobile devices. Unlike many builders, Showit lets you design desktop and mobile layouts separately so your site looks polished on any screen. This gives you full control over how your site looks on any device.
With mobile-first traffic dominating, crafting a phone-optimized layout isn’t a “nice-to-have”—it’s essential.
If your brand is image-driven—think photographers, stylists, creatives—Showit lets you highlight visuals beautifully with full-screen galleries, parallax scroll effects, and branding consistency.
New to website-building? Choose a template and tweak it. Have a vision and a budget? Consult with a Showit designer. Templates don’t equal cookie-cutter sites—just a head start.
Showit has stellar customer support (via chat and email), and the platform is easy to maintain. No plugins, no tech overwhelm, just drag, drop, and go.
