11 Powerful AI Tools Every Showit Website Designer Needs

Behind The Scenes, Build Your Website & Brand

filed in

You’ve got your Showit template. You’ve got a vision. And now… you’ve got decision fatigue.

Whether it’s picking the perfect layout, writing compelling copy, or finding visuals that don’t scream stock photo, building your website can start to feel overwhelming—fast.

The good news? You don’t have to do it all alone.

Think of AI tools as your behind-the-scenes creative assistant. They can help you:

  • Generate layout ideas and wireframes
  • Write headlines, blurbs, and CTAs
  • Choose color palettes that actually work
  • Create custom visuals, icons, and mockups
  • Get your Showit site launched faster (without sacrificing quality)

In this post, we’re sharing our favorite AI tools that complement your Showit website design (no code or competing platforms required).

1. Visily – AI Wireframing & Mockup Generator

Visily turns napkin sketches, screenshots, or prompts into full UI mockups. It’s beginner-friendly but robust enough for designers, which makes it a great place to brainstorm website page layouts before jumping into Showit.

Features & Use Cases:

Upload a sketch or screenshot, and Visily’s AI tools will auto-detect design elements (like nav bars, CTAs, and image), then convert them into an editable wireframe. From there, you can tweak fonts, colors, and spacing—and export your preferences straight into your Showit design process. It even includes templates and mood boards to spark inspiration.

If a client wants to reuse the layout of an existing non-Showit site, Visily can turn a screenshot into the foundation for a fresh new design.

Pricing: Free plan available; Pro starts at $12/month

Best For: Designers, DIYers, and visual thinkers who want to experiment before customizing a Showit template. Visily is a great alternative to Sketch, Adobe, or Figma. 

Unique AI Feature: Converts screenshots (even hand-drawn!) into editable wireframes.

2. Magician (Figma Plugin) – Design Assistant for Figma Users

Magician is a clever Figma plugin that helps you generate icons, placeholder copy, layer names, and even animations—all within your design file.

Features & Use Cases:

If you use Figma to plan before building in Showit, Magician speeds things up. It can suggest CTA button text, write on-brand copy, generate icons for services, and add simple animations (all with zero coding). It’s like having a wireframe sidekick. 

Pricing: Free plan available; Pro starts at $10/month

Best For: Designers who prototype or plan in Figma before building in Showit.

Unique AI Feature: Integrated directly into Figma, so it blends seamlessly with your design workflow.

3. Colormind – AI Color Palette Generator

Colormind uses deep learning to generate cohesive color palettes that feel fresh (not forced). This tool makes it easy to create color combos that look good and work well in web designs. 

Features & Use Cases:

Generate a random palette, lock in one color you love, and Colormind will build a complementary palette around it. You can also use it to pull colors from images or preview your selections in contextual mockup designs (like a website or poster). 

Pricing: Free

Best For: Anyone choosing colors for a website, brand, or digital design.

Unique AI Feature: Learns from current design trends to create unique palettes that feel on-brand and up-to-date. 

4. Attention Insight – AI Heatmaps for Better Design Decisions

Want to know where people are most likely to look on your website—before it even goes live? Attention Insight uses predictive heatmaps (like a design-savvy fortune teller) to show where visitors’ eyes go first, second, and third. It helps you design with intention by revealing where people focus most. 

Features & Use Cases:

Upload a web page screenshot or mockup to evaluate if your CTA buttons are in the right place, your headlines are getting attention, or your images are too distracting. You can even compare your design to benchmarks in your industry (like coaching, photography, or e-commerce).

Plus, it provides a Clarity Score, which helps you assess how easy your layout is to understand at a glance. This is especially helpful for conversion-focused landing and opt-in pages. 

Pricing: Free 7-day trial; Paid plans start at $29/month with options for solo designers and small teams.

Best For: Website designers, brand strategists, or marketers who want to validate design decisions before pushing a page live. It’s also great for refining your homepage or sales page layouts in Showit.

Unique AI Feature: Predicts how users will interact with your site before you launch it—so you can tweak layouts, headlines, and image placements before you spend time building in Showit.

5. Custom GPT – Sean GPT Copywriting Assistant 

Writing high-converting copy can feel like yelling into the void. SeanGPT helps you craft words that resonate. It’s a custom GPT from author and marketer Sean Vosler, built to help you write with personality and persuasion.

Features & Use Cases:

Use it to brainstorm ad copy, polish email sequences, generate landing pages, or break through writer’s block with a clever co-writer. Ask for critiques, headline variations, or full sales page drafts—and it will help you come up with emotional, story-driven messaging.

Pricing: Free (for now!)

Best For: Marketers, copywriters, coaches, creators, and founders who want to write with more clarity and charisma. 

Unique AI Feature: Feels like a TED Talk meets your favorite late-night copywriter — blending psychology, story, and strategy.

6. Fontjoy – AI Font Pairing Tool

Choosing fonts can quickly lead you down a rabbit hole (goodbye, time 👋). Fontjoy is the antidote. It uses neural networks to suggest beautiful, balanced font pairings.

Features & Use Cases:

Lock in your favorite brand or logo font, and Fontjoy will suggest complementary fonts for headings, body copy, and accent text. Then, you can preview your pairing and copy the font names directly into Showit.

Pricing: Free

Best For: Anyone selecting fonts for a website or brand refresh.

Unique AI Feature: Generates font pairings that balance contrast and cohesion (without overwhelming you with options).

7. Promptomania – Prompt Generator for Visual AI Tools

If MidJourney or DALL·E prompts have ever felt like a guessing game, Promptomania is your answer. It helps you write better prompts with less effort. 

Features & Use Cases:

Use its dropdowns and sliders to build precise, well-structured prompts that produce consistent, on-brand image results. It works great for hero images, blog graphics, and icons to upload into Showit. 

Pricing: Free

Best For: Designers using AI image tools like MidJourney, DALL·E, or Microsoft Designer.

Unique AI Feature: Visual prompt builder with customizable fields (lighting, mood, style, etc.) to fine-tune your results.

8. Runway ML – AI Photo & Video Editor

Runway ML is a powerful suite of AI tools for visual creators, offering everything from background removal to generating entirely new scenes from a single image.

Features & Use Cases:

Use it to remove backgrounds, correct colors, upscale images, or generate new visuals entirely. It even includes AI text-to-video tools for creators dabbling in motion content.

Pricing: Free plan available; Pro starts at $12/month

Best For: Designers and creators who need fast, pro-level edits for their Showit sites.

Unique AI Feature: Simple, high-end image editing (without the Photoshop learning curve).

9. MidJourney – High-End AI Art Generator

Known for its cinematic style, MidJourney produces one-of-a-kind images with an editorial feel. It’s great for adding on-brand visuals to your site (without sifting through endless “meh” stock images). 

Features & Use Cases:

Use carefully crafted prompts to generate rich, moody, or minimalist brand images, illustrations, and textured backgrounds. It requires Discord access and comes with a bit of a learning curve, but the payoff is worth it.

Pricing: Starts around $10/month

Best For: Designers who want show-stopping visuals that stand out from stock. 

Unique AI Feature: Highly stylized, artistic visuals that feel editorial and bespoke.

10. Canva (Magic Design + Magic Write) – AI Tools for Layout Suggestions, Graphics, and Copy

Canva is a hugely popular design platform, known for its templates and easy drag-and-drop interface. But in 2023–2025, Canva went full AI mode with tools like Magic Design, Magic Write, Magic Resize, and even AI background removal. While Canva isn’t a full website builder (and we wouldn’t want it to be), it’s an incredible sidekick for Showit designers creating on-brand visuals, social graphics, and quick layout mockups.

Features & Use Cases:

  • Magic Design: Upload an image or describe an idea, and Canva will generate professionally styled templates and layouts around it. Think: Banners, section headers, promotion graphics, and more.

  • Magic Resize: Resize a single design to use across different platforms—social, email, website, and beyond—in just one click. (It’s not technically AI, but still magical.)
  • Text-to-Image AI: Canva now includes a simple DALL·E-style image generator. Use a prompt like “hand-drawn olive branch illustration” or “neutral home office space” to generate images for your design.

Pricing: Free plan available; Pro starts at $12.99/month

Best For: Literally everyone—from DIYers to designers to agencies. 

Unique AI Feature: Combines layout and copywriting in one platform, then lets you resize and remix for any channel.

11. Imagine.art – Fast + Free AI Image Generator for Web Graphics

Need fast, unique visuals without a Discord login or a steep learning curve? Imagine.art is a beautifully simple, browser-based tool that creates stunning images from text prompts.

Features & Use Cases:

Type in a phrase like “soft watercolor illustration of wildflowers for a feminine brand” or “vintage camera flat lay, top view,” and Imagine.art will generate multiple image options. You can refine your results by adjusting the style, dimensions, and aesthetic tags to get visuals that fit your brand like a perfect T-shirt.

Pricing: 100% free—no login required. High-res downloads or commercial use may require credits.
