Showit is a visual website builder used by photographers, coaches, and creative personal brands. You place elements freely on the canvas (not a strict column grid), and Showit hosts the published site. Blogging is optional and runs on WordPress in the background: the website-only plan has no blog; Basic Starter Blog and Advanced Blog add WordPress with different plugin and traffic limits. Designer templates are typically sold separately. Official pricing lists the website-only plan at $22/mo when billed annually ($259/year), with a 14-day trial and no credit card required.
🎨 Canvas editor: Pixel-level placement for landing pages and portfolios, including overlapping layouts.
📸 Creative-first templates: Marketplace/designer templates aimed at photographers and service brands (sold separately).
📝 Optional WordPress blog: Design blog chrome in Showit; write posts in WordPress on blog plans.
☁️ Hosting included: HTTPS, media storage, and Showit hosting on every plan.
🔌 Advanced Blog extras: Custom plugins, migrations from WordPress or Squarespace, and higher traffic caps on paid blog tiers.
📱 Device views: Adjust desktop and mobile layouts in the builder.
🚫 Not a full native store: Ecommerce usually means plugins or third-party tools, not a Shopify-style checkout.
• Photographers, designers, coaches, and personal brands who want layout freedom.
• People happy to pay a designer or use a paid template rather than a huge free theme library.
• Sites that may add a WordPress blog later.
• Weak fit if you need built-in ecommerce or the cheapest possible DIY builder.
