Showit

The web's ultimate power couple

Design your blog posts without any hassle

WordPress has dominated the internet for decades, and for good reason. Today it powers over 43% of all websites, more than any other platform on the planet. It's the gold standard for blogging, content management, and SEO.

But dominance doesn't mean perfect, and WordPress has spent years trying to close the gap on design. While the block editor has come a long way, getting your site to look exactly how you want it still takes a serious investment of time, either yours or someone else's.

WordPress' missing piece

Showit takes the part of WordPress that's always been more frustrating, the designing, and makes it effortless. Arrange your blog templates in Showit's visual builder, connect your WordPress account, and you're done.

No PHP. No late-night Googling. No hiring someone just to change a font. Your posts, your categories, your social sharing buttons, all of it looks exactly the way you imagined it. Because, you designed it that way.

Showit is the answer for designing in WordPress

Sure, WordPress is free to use, but is it free to run? That's a different story. Between hosting, premium themes, page builder plugins, and the occasional developer rescue mission, a well-designed WordPress site can quickly add up to a few hundred to several thousand dollars a year. And that's before accounting for the hours spent managing updates, resolving plugin conflicts, and keeping everything secure.

Showit bundles your hosting, your design tool, and your WordPress blog integration into one predictable plan. No piecing together five different subscriptions and hoping they play nice together. No surprise bills when something breaks, just a professionally designed website that you control, without needing a team behind you to maintain it. 

The real cost of WordPress

One of the biggest reasons people stay loyal to WordPress is SEO, and they're right to. WordPress is genuinely excellent at it. Clean content structure, customizable URLs, powerful plugins like Yoast and Rank Math, and years of trust built with search engines make it the blogging backbone serious content creators swear by.


That's exactly why Showit didn't replace WordPress. We integrated with it. Your blog runs on WordPress, which means every SEO advantage you've heard about stays fully intact. What changes is everything your visitors actually see. The design, the layout, the experience: that's all Showit. So you're not trading performance for beauty. You're getting both, working together, the way they always should have.

You don't have to choose between SEO & creativity

FAQs

Answers to some of life's greatest questions found here

Will switching to Showit hurt my SEO?

No, and for your blog specifically, it can actually help. Your blog content continues to live on WordPress, which means all the SEO equity you've built stays intact. Showit also handles clean URLs, fast load times, and mobile responsiveness, which are all factors Google cares about. Many Showit users find their SEO improves after switching simply because their site performs better and visitors stay longer.

I've tried page builders in WordPress before. How is Showit different?

Most WordPress page builders work within the constraints of WordPress — they're adding design options on top of a system that wasn't built for visual freedom. Showit is a design-first platform that connects to WordPress, not the other way around. That means you're not fighting themes, template hierarchies, or block limitations. You start with a blank canvas and build exactly what you want, then WordPress powers the content underneath it.

Can I still use SEO plugins like Yoast or Rank Math?

Yes! Because your blog is still running on WordPress, all your favorite WordPress SEO plugins work exactly as they always have. You get the full WordPress SEO toolkit: metadata control, sitemaps, schema markup, readability analysis, but with none of the design limitations.

What about other WordPress plugins?

Definitely. Any plugin that works through WordPress will continue to work with Showit. Email opt-in forms, analytics, scheduling tools, membership plugins, WooCommerce, and more; if it integrates with WordPress, it integrates with your Showit site.

Can I design every part of my blog, or just certain sections?

Yes, completely. In Showit you design the entire blog experience: the post layout, the sidebar, the header, the footer, category pages, individual post templates, all of it. What you build in Showit is what your readers see. WordPress handles the content and publishing behind the scenes, but the design is entirely yours.

How hard is it to switch to Showit?

Showit offers free migrations from WordPress and Squarespace. Your blog content, posts, categories, and tags all carry over, nothing gets lost. Most of our users are surprised by how straightforward the whole process is.
