Website Tips For Creatives: Why Showit Is Perfect

As a creative entrepreneur, you want a website that screams you. When prospective clients click on your site, they should be blown away by the creativity and functionality—leaving them with no doubt that they’ve found their next hire. A site that’s equal parts stunning and strategic can do wonders, generating leads for interior designers, copywriters, photographers, or anyone in the creative field.

There’s just one little hiccup: most website design tools are, well, uninspiring. They box you into rigid templates or don’t have enough features to bring your vision to life. Cue frustration and endless hours tweaking things that never quite feel right.

But don’t worry—we’ve got good news. Let us introduce you to Showit.

What is Showit?

Showit is the website-building platform you’ve been dreaming of—designed by creatives for creatives. It’s like a page builder for WordPress but with no need for bulky plugins slowing things down. Forget cookie-cutter templates and rigid layouts; Showit offers total creative freedom and simplicity. Imagine a blank canvas seamlessly integrated with WordPress, where you call all the shots and create a custom website that’s as unique and inspiring as your brand.

Curious? You can play around with Showit for free (that link gives you a free month trial) but we’re here to give you a sneak peek into why it’s the go-to platform for creative entrepreneurs. Let’s dive into the standout features that make Showit so extraordinary.

Drag & Drop Everything

Showit is built around simplicity, so no coding required! Drag-and-drop functionality allows you to place elements—like images, text, or buttons—anywhere on your page.

This gives you all the creative freedom you could possibly wish for. 

You’re not bound by “building blocks” or anything else that some website-building platforms use. Want to nudge a photo over by just an inch? You can. This lets you play around with how every page looks and truly makes it possible to have unique websites. 

Our portfolio is the perfect place to showcase this point. We’ve designed many websites using Showit and you’ll see how diverse they are in terms of the layout, which features go where, and so on. You can create a home page full of big images showing off your interior design work, or you can have a simplified one promoting your copywriting services. 

The design possibilities never end, and this allows for a highly aesthetic website. 

Design Anything You Want

You see many website-building platforms claim they let you make a custom site from scratch. In reality, most of these platforms limit you by only letting you implement themes, confusing code, or played out design elements.

The more personal your site feels, the more your audience connects with it. Showit makes this effortless.

Unlike other platforms, Showit works more like Adobe Illustrator. When we say you have a blank canvas, we mean it. The page is completely empty, and you can design virtually anything you want to go on it. This includes creating things from scratch using vectors and other tools. 

It lets you add wonderfully aesthetic elements to your website that couldn’t be added via other platforms. We find this essential for creative entrepreneurs – particularly if you’re a designer. What better way to show off your talents than by having a website with your own design elements floating about? 

Use A Host Of Custom Fonts

Let’s talk fonts. The right font can make or break your branding.  The right font can exude elegance, creativity, or professionalism—perfectly reflecting your brand.

Certain fonts convey different things – if you’re a creative entrepreneur, your brand should revolve around creativity and style. You don’t want to use boring fonts that everyone else has; you need custom ones to tie in with your brand image. 

Moving away from traditional fonts is a top tip, and Showit makes this easy to do. It already has a vast range of fonts to pick from, but it also integrates with Google Fonts and lets you bring them over. Better yet, you get to customize the fonts to fit with the other design elements on your page. It ensures they balance with the color scheme and emphasize your branding. 

Loads Of Customizable Templates For Creative Businesses

Showit’s target audience is creatives – it’s literally in the company’s branding, and it wants to make life easier for creative professionals. That’s why it stocks a plethora of free website templates made for different industries, and our shop has unique Showit Templates as well.

A quick look at the template offerings will show you designs for portrait photography businesses, bloggers, wedding photographers, copywriters, and more. 

The beauty of these templates lies in how they’re made. Unlike other website templates, these have been designed by professionals. It gives them a more authentic look, and they’re designed around your site’s theme/purpose. For example, many of the templates for photographers involve design elements to show extensive photographic backgrounds or moving galleries. 

As with everything on Showit, the templates are 100% customizable. Use them as inspiration for the base layout of your site before altering the font, moving around the images, and just generally testing how you want things to look. 

Features Made For Creative Websites

You will lose yourself in all of Showit’s features, and some of them are perfect for creative websites. The ability to add animations to your site is absolutely fantastic. This can let you animate text so it flows across a screen or animated images so they almost flick over to new ones like a slideshow. 

It’s little things like this that give Showit the edge over other platforms as you genuinely get to express your creativity. Instead of having a static site, you can make one that feels alive!
