Probably going to offend some web developers here but let’s be real WordPress websites are a creator’s worst nightmare! In fact, most web builders are boxy and built on templates that look generic and lack artistry. 2 years ago Showit changed the game and we’re never looking back. We now work exclusively within Showit to design and build every single website we work on and we’re revealing the reasons why…

What is Showit? Showit is a web design and hosting platform that allows you to create a completely custom desktop and mobile website, all with a drag-and-drop interface that requires no coding. It integrates with WordPress for easy blogging and SEO.

Before we delve into Showit Vs WordPress (& everything else), it’s important to note that WordPress, Squarespace and Wix are all great platform with a host of attractive features, particularly favoured by those looking for a generic template website. While they aren’t our preference, one could very well be the perfect fit for you. To assist you in making an informed decision, we’ll break down the similarities and differences between Showit and these other options.

The backend of Wix and similar lack organisation, making it challenging to locate essential elements like title tags.

Lack of Advanced Marketing Tools:
