WordPress is the most powerful (and popular) site builder and blogging platform out there. To date, it actually powers around ⅓ of the internet.
One of the best things about Showit is that it integrates fully with WordPress. That means you can create your blog posts in WordPress and they'll feed right into your beautiful, new Showit website.
Showit + WordPress = beauty meets power.
If you're coming from another WordPress site or Squarespace, Showit will even help migrate your existing blog posts for you.
PS - If you're still confused about how this works, watch this video explaining the process.
Every single page of our Showit websites is created at a designer level to give your visitors the very best user experience. It’s attention to detail that adds the designer touch.

If you want your Showit website in front of your dream clients, it needs to be optimized for success. All of our Showit website templates are expertly structured for SEO.

TL:DR
One big ranking factor for sites is the speed in which a site loads and right out of the box, Showit loads FAST.
We spent years and a whole lot of $$ trying to optimize our old Elementor site only to change back over to Showit in the end.
If you like spending hours tweaking with caching to preload javascript on your site, offloading images and digital assets to AWS and compressing images, go with a straight WordPress site.
But if you want to spend time actually doing what you love and running your business, let Showit do those tedious tasks for you.
Let’s clear something up: Showit is not ‘bad’ for SEO (more about that in this post 5 Things We Wish People Knew about SEO). Showit integrates fully with WordPress and allows you to create optimized content to drive traffic to your site.
I think the best example of the power of Showit when it comes to SEO is our old photography site. Davey and I were wedding photographers in Annapolis, Maryland for several years and during that time, we had a Showit site.
When our oldest child was born in 2018, we stopped photographing weddings and thus stopped blogging or updating that site. But because of the optimization that we put into that site, it stayed on the first page of our (previously desired) search results for SIX MORE YEARS.
Up until we took the site down in early 2024, we were still getting a few inquiries a week from a Showit site that was incredibly outdated.

I knew I needed to get a new site up and running quickly, and I just love the look and user experience of Davey and Krista sites! It was incredibly easy to customize (even though I was learning Showit for the first time) and allowed me to easily make adjustments that were important to showcasing my brand and presenting my work in a high-end way.
My inquiries are continuing to increase, and because the site is so easy to optimize for SEO

Still not convinced our Showit Website Templates are Your Best Option?
You pay 4-figures to have a custom website built for you. But what happens when you need to change something and you don’t know how to use your website? You’re stuck.
Either…
A. you spend hours trying to figure it out (lose time which is money)
Or B. you have to call up that designer to make the change for you (lose money)
Scenario 1
You DIY your website using Wix or some other platform. The result? Hopefully pretty good! But you’ve lost hours you could have spent in other areas of your business, and this site won’t be expertly optimized for your target audience.
Scenario 2
You build your own Showit website and skip our template. (This is the best option because at least you have Showit.) But you just lost your strategic layout, placeholder text, SEO optimization, launch course, continual support, access to a rich community of creatives like you, and more. For what?
Scenario 3
FIND YOUR NEW WEBSITE
After building a successful photography business and launching the Rising Tide Society, one of the largest communities for creatives in the world, we jumped into the world of Showit website template design.
Fast forward to where we are now – As one of Showit’s top designers, we’ve sold 5,000+ templates and have been fortunate enough to be named Showit’s Designer of the Year.
We get both sides—we understand the needs of modern business owners (a throwback to our photography days) and have 15+ years of website design experience.
We’re here to help you and other creative businesses create your dream websites and book more clients without overcomplicating the online world. Why?
So you can spend less time sweating over competition and more time doing what you love.

Is it SEO friendly?
next question —
Do I need to know any code? As with anything else, it takes a little time to learn. But we think Showit is one of the easiest website builders on the market. The editor has a similar feel to Canva and the Adobe Suite, so photographers and creatives should adjust easily.
They also have an amazing U.S. based support staff that quickly answers questions. We used to exclusively design custom WordPress websites. But since Showit launched their new platform, most of our clients have decided to use Showit because it’s easy to use and powerful enough to do what they need it to do. Oh, and the best part? You don’t need to know how to code to use Showit.
Is it truly easy to update your website?

Yep, not a problem! This is super quick and easy to do. Here's a quick tutorial we made on YouTube.

The Tutorials
Showit vs. Squarespace
Showit and Squarespace have their similarities—but one will quickly find there’s more creative control and flexibility in Showit. Additionally, Showit’s integration with WordPress puts it over the top when it comes to comparing Showit and Squarespace.
There are a lot of similarities between Showit and Squarespace. They’re both website builders that also host your website, they each offer dedicated customer support staffs, and both have templates available that you can use to get started.
But there are also a few key differences.
Showit’s website builder is truly drag-and-drop—move text, images, and videos around with ease. In Squarespace, you’ll be working within modules. They’re relatively easy to use, but don’t provide the same drag-and-drop flexibility. We also find the editor to be clunky and finicky. And as designers, the lack of precision downright kills us.
There are also differences in how the mobile version of the website renders. In Squarespace, the mobile version of your website will render based on the desktop version. The advantage is that it looks good immediately—no extra formatting is necessary.
In Showit, however, you’ll have to format the mobile version of your website in addition to the desktop version. We think this is actually a positive thing because it gives you more control over how the mobile version works. Although, admittedly, it can get a little tedious.
Squarespace does have more built-in e-commerce functionality than Showit. Showit does integrate with WooCommerce but if you really want to do a lot of e-commerce customizations to your site, it's going to take some work and you might need to hire a Showit developer.
What really separates Showit from Squarespace is its integration with WordPress. Yes, you can blog with Squarespace. But blogging with WordPress provides so much more freedom and optimization potential. By integrating with WordPress, you can install plugins that add functionality to your website. Not every plugin is compatible with Showit, but plenty are.
Squarespace is a good website platform (that’s why we’re doing this comparison), and I would recommend it over something like Wix in a heartbeat. But we think Showit is better.
so what do you recommend?
We recommend Showit over Squarespace in 99% of situations. The exception is for those people who need some e-commerce functionality and refuse to go with Shopify or WooCommerce (both of which are better e-commerce platforms than Squarespace).
And yes, you COULD try a different website platform (maybe), but is the quality and ease guaranteed? No.
Or you could pull out the DIY website card, but would you actually ever launch it? Not likely. Besides, your time is valuable.
So, really, let us save you the experiment. We've been in the industry for a decade, and we stand by it: Showit is the best, and our designs make the best even better. Your stunning, optimized-to-convert, fully customized, copy-filled Showit website is waiting for you.

There’s no bottleneck like my previous web builder.
There are other options on the market but D&K templates immediately caught my eye and stood out. Branding is everything, especially for a photographer in the high end market. I needed something that would convey luxury and my D&K template delivered.
