Its intuitive drag-and-drop builder lets you design your website exactly the way you want it. All without having to write a single line of code.

But what really sets Showit apart is its flexibility.

Whether you’re a blogger, a photographer, or a business owner, Showit offers endless possibilities for customisation. From the layout and design to the functionality and user experience.

So why settle for a cookie-cutter website when you can create a truly one-of-a-kind online presence with Showit?

Showit offers powerful features and seamless WordPress integration to enhance your website.

This article explores Showit’s top features and benefits in creating a stunning, professional website for your brand.

Let’s take a closer look.

Simple Drag and Drop Tool

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the thought of creating a website? If so, you’re not alone.

Many people feel intimidated by the technical skills required to build a website. But with Showit, you don’t need any coding experience to create a professional and visually stunning website. How is this possible?

Showit’s drag-and-drop builder makes it easy for anyone to design a website without any technical skills required.

What is a Drag-and-Drop?

A drag-and-drop builder/interface is a way to create something by dragging elements from a library and dropping them onto a page.

In the case of Showit, this means that you can select from a variety of elements, like text boxes, images, and buttons, and place them exactly where you want them on your website.

This is in contrast to traditional website builders, which require you to have coding knowledge or to use pre-built templates to create your website.

Benefits of an Easy-to-Use Drag-and-Drop Builder

There are several benefits to using an easy-to-use drag-and-drop builder like Showit’s:

  1. No coding experience required: With a drag-and-drop builder, you don’t need any coding knowledge to create a website. This means that anyone, regardless of their technical skills, can create a professional website.
  2. Intuitive design process: Showit’s drag-and-drop builder is easy to use, making the design process intuitive and straightforward. You can simply click and drag elements onto your website and arrange them in the way that you want.
  3. Flexibility and customisation: You can place elements exactly where you want them! You have complete control over the layout and design of your website. This means that you can create a truly unique and personalised website that reflects your brand.

Things to consider about a Easy-to-Use Drag-and-Drop Builder

I adore Showit’s drag-and-drop builder, but let’s weigh some cons for a balanced blog.

Limited Customisation

Showit offers high customisation, but drag-and-drop has limitations. You may find that you can’t achieve a specific design or feature you want without using code. But by hiring a developer, like myself – just sayin’ – you can.

Steep Learning Curve

Although Showit’s drag-and-drop interface is designed to be intuitive, there is still a learning curve. You may need to take some time to learn how to use all the features and elements available to create the exact design you want.

But Showit do offer you free training on how to navigate their builder. Plus, they’ve got a great team on hand to help out should you ever need it.

Lack of Flexibility

In some cases, the builder may limit your ability to make complex changes to your website. You may find that you are restricted to pre-built templates or that certain design elements can’t be adjusted to your liking. However, if you’re looking to really invest in your brand then heading down a custom site might be the better option for you.

Potentially Slow Load Times

Depending on how your website is designed with the drag-and-drop interface, it may result in slower load times for your website. This can be a frustrating experience for users who are looking for fast access to information. However, again seeking out someone who knows how to build websites would ensure that your site is built to avoid situations like this, because we are able to avoid things that make your site load slower. For example, having images sized correctly.

Overall, it’s important to consider both the pros and cons of using any drag-and-drop platforms like Showit’s.

Now that we’ve covered the pros and cons of the Showit platform, let’s take a closer look at some of the features that make Showit stand out.

Examples of Websites Built with Showit

If you’re considering using Showit’s drag-and-drop interface to create your own website, it can be helpful to see some real-world examples of what’s possible with this powerful platform.

Here are a few examples of websites that have been built using Showit’s drag-and-drop builder:

Natalie Trusdale – Self Esteem Coach

Natalie Trusdale’s website was built to promote her personal brand as a self-esteem coach, with the intention of helping her target audience to find the confidence they need to reach their goals.

She wanted her site to be easy-to-navigate and visually appealing, and that’s why she chose Showit as the platform for her website.

Showit allowed Natalie to customize her site with features that would draw in her target audience – from a sleek design that looks great on any device to a variety of options that make it easy to find the services she offers.

Natalie also worked hard with Dear Charlie and the oh-so-lovely Ami Writes, copy and content writer to make sure her website was informative, providing resources and tips that visitors could use to take the next steps in their journey to build self-esteem.

By creating a website that is both attractive and informative, Natalie Trusdale has been able to spread her message and help her target audience find the confidence they need to take on the world.

This leads me to Ami Writes. If you have been following my blog posts and social media, you know that I have a soft spot for this amazing woman. She is my business best friend and partner in crime. Before all of that, she was my client, and we built a great website—complete with a brand identity—on Showit.

Ami Writes – Copywriter & Content Writer

Ami Writes is a creative copywriter and content writer that helps female-led business owners showcase their brands with powerful words. Crafting stories that entice and convert your sites to make them exceptionally effective!

Working with Ami on her website made it abundantly clear that Showit was the ideal choice. It gave her the opportunity to make any changes she desired without the frequently high cost of enlisting us each time for small modifications.

Previously, Ami had been using WordPress, which was causing a major roadblock for her business due to its intricate editing features. We knew that Showit was the perfect solution for Ami and her website, as it allowed for quick and easy editing capabilities and the ability to customise her website to her exact specifications.

By using Showit, Ami was able to quickly and easily create an intuitive website that truly represented her brand, from the design to the functionality. Showit allowed her to make any changes she wanted without having to consult with us each time, saving her time and money.

Plus, with the built-in SEO optimisation, Ami was able to improve her website’s visibility in search engine results. And with the support of Dear Charlie, she was able to create a website that truly reflected her brand and made it easy for her target audience to find the information they needed.

Now another project I worked with the wonderful Ami Writes on was Charlotte Hunter Menopause Nutritionist.

Charlotte Hunter, a menopause nutritionist, approached me after years on WordPress. She had yet to find a site that accurately reflected her brand personality, as she is not a typical menopause nutritionist. Instead, she is highly knowledgeable and combines nutrition with scientific research.

Charlotte was finally able to create a website that matched her unique brand and made it easy for her target audience to find the information they needed. Showit’s intuitive drag-and-drop interface allowed us to design her website exactly the way she wanted it.

Plus, with powerful features like SEO optimisation and seamless integration with WordPress, Charlotte was able to take her website to the next level.

With our help, Charlotte was able to create a website that truly represented her brand and made it easy for her target audience to find the information they needed.

Since launching Charlotte has not only just received fantastic comments about the design – why thank you! But she’s also got the websites stats to match those too. With her services, courses and memberships in high demand we know that Charlotte has a site that will stand the test of time. Like I said I can’t take all the credit on this one I had the help of the amazing Ami Writes copywriting skills too!

Next on the list is one of my initial clients for Showit, excluding myself.

Yasmin Anne Photography – Newborn & Maternity Photographer

Yasmin Anne Photography offers stunning photography for newborns, expectant mothers, parents, and families. Don’t just take my word for it—check out her Instagram!

When Yasmin came to me, she had bought a template but wanted to make it her own. Unfortunately, she didn’t have the time she’d anticipated. We decided to go back to basics and use some of the template to build a custom site that matched the brand identity and complemented her photography style.
