Why Showit is the best website platform for service-based business

When it comes to creating a stunning and functional website for service-based businesses, not all platforms are created equal. If you’ve ever been frustrated by website builders that confine you to their layouts with no chance for growth or make customization beyond complicated (looking at you, Squarespace and WordPress), you’re definitely not alone.

That’s why I’m a huge fan of Showit, and why so many creative entrepreneurs, service-based businesses, and personal brands are making the switch. If you’re curious about what sets Showit apart from other website platforms, or if it’s the right fit for you, keep reading.

So, what is Showit?

Before we dive into everything, let’s talk about what Showit actually is.

Showit is a drag-and-drop website builder that gives you full creative control over your design. Unlike platforms like Wix or Squarespace, Showit isn’t based on blocks or strict templates, it allows for completely custom, drag-and-drop design.

The real charm of Showit lies not only in its flexibility but also in how simple and intuitive it is to create a website that truly reflects your brand. For service-based businesses, having that level of creative control is invaluable.

Why I swear by Showit (and why you will too)

I’ve built websites on multiple platforms, and Showit is the one I always recommend. Here’s why Showit is my go-to for custom website design:

1. Complete design freedom (no coding required!)

Unless you have a degree in coding then one of the biggest frustrations with other website builders is their limitations when it comes to layouts that seriously restrict your creativity. With Showit, you’re not stuck in a box.

• Drag-and-drop everything (text, images, shapes, buttons) literally anywhere on the page.
• Layer elements on top of each other (just like in design software) for a creative and high-end look.
• Customize every pixel to make your brand look custom without having to play nice with templates.

Whether you want a bold and colorful layout or a sleek and minimal aesthetic, Showit lets you create a website that feels as unique as your business.

2. Showit + WordPress = the best of both worlds

One of the most common misconceptions is that Showit lacks the power we all associate with WordPress. Spoiler: It actually integrates with WordPress seamlessly!

What this means for you:

• Design your site in Showit for total creative control.
• Run your blog on WordPress, which is hands down the best platform for blogging and SEO.
• Get the best of both worlds, a stunning, drag-and-drop site with the functionality and search engine power of WordPress.

If you’re serious about blogging or growing your website traffic, Showit’s WordPress integration gives you a major advantage. In fact, I’ve talked about why brand consistency builds trust and drives growth, and a blog that showcases your authority is a huge part of that.

3. Mobile-responsive design that’s actually customizable

Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt personally victimized by a website that looks amazing on desktop but completely disappoints on mobile. 🙋🏻‍♀️

Unlike other platforms that automatically create a mobile version (which often ends up being a mess), Showit lets you design your mobile site separately from your desktop version.

• Want to rearrange content just for mobile? Done.
• Need to adjust text sizes for better readability? No problem.
• Want to hide certain elements on mobile to keep things streamlined? Super easy.

With over 60% of web traffic coming from mobile devices, having a site that looks flawless on every screen is a non-negotiable, and Showit makes it effortless.

4. SEO-friendly features to help you get found

A stunning website is great, but it’s even better when people can actually find it.

Showit’s built-in SEO settings give you the power to:

• Add custom page titles and meta descriptions for each page.
• Optimize image alt text for better search rankings.
• Structure content with headings (H1, H2, H3) to improve readability and ranking.
• Use WordPress for blogging, which is still the best platform for organic search growth.

If you’re building your brand and want to attract your dream clients (instead of just hoping they stumble across your site), Showit’s SEO capabilities gives you a solid foundation.

5. Reliable support & no tech headaches

The last thing you need as a business owner is a website that crashes or a platform with terrible customer service. Showit is the opposite of that.

• Hosting is included—so no need to figure out complicated setups.
• Their support team is amazing—they actually respond quickly and help solve issues.
• No coding required—so you’re not stuck Googling CSS fixes at midnight (ask me how I know).

Even if you’ve never built a website before, Showit makes it easy to launch a professional site without the tech stress.

Who is Showit best for?

Showit is perfect for creative entrepreneurs and service-based businesses that need a website that not only looks good but also works hard to attract and convert clients.

Coaches, Consultants, and Personal Brands
Photographers, Designers, and Creatives
Wellness Professionals, Therapists, and Educators

If your business relies on a strong online presence and a brand that feels elevated, unique, and polished, Showit is the way to go.

Is there a downside to Showit?

No platform is perfect, and Showit isn’t for everyone. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind:

It’s not built for e-commerce. If you’re running a large online store, Shopify or WooCommerce is a better choice. (Though you can integrate Shopify Starter with Showit!)

There’s a learning curve. While it’s easier than WordPress, Showit still takes a little time to get used to, especially if you’re coming from a more structured platform.

That said, for most service-based businesses, these aren’t dealbreakers, they’re just things to be aware of when making the switch.
