Showit Website Builder
What is Showit?
Designed for creatives and small business owners, Showit is a drag-and-drop website builder and hosting platform. It functions like a design canvas similar to tools like Canva or Adobe. Showit gives you the freedom to place text, images, and other elements anywhere you like, completely code-free.
Why Showit
Unlike many website builders, you're not restricted to rigid rows and templates. You can let your creative side shine.
Design freedom
Easily update text, images, services and pages yourself without touching code or third party plugins.
Easy to update
Desktop and mobile layouts can be customised independently for a better user experience.
Mobile-friendly design
Combine Showit's visual editor with WordPress blogging for long-term content marketing and SEO.
Built to grow
Showit is Great if:
You're an interior designer who wants a website as considered as your projects
Your portfolio is the heart of your website — and it deserves an image-led, editorial layout
You want to add new projects, update services and publish journal posts yourself
You're a solo designer or small studio without a developer on call
You've outgrown your DIY site but aren't ready for agency-level pricing
You want your online presence to grow with your studio — from first enquiry to full-service projects
Your website needs client portals, memberships or complex logins.
You want to sell a large product catalogue (think full furniture or homewares store).
You need extensive database-driven features, like searchable product or supplier libraries.
Showit may not be right if:
Showit consistently stands out for its balance of design freedom, ease of use, and flexibility. It's the platform Maeten uses because it gives business owners complete control over their website, making it easy to update, manage, and grow without relying on a developer.
Showit vs other website platforms
Showit: FAQ
How much does Showit cost?
Showit plans start at around $19/month, with higher tiers offering more features. An annual plan works out cheaper than paying month to month.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Showit is entirely drag-and-drop. You can build and edit your site without touching a single line of code.
Can I edit my website myself after it's set up?
Yes — that's one of Showit's biggest advantages. Everything is visual and editable, so you're never dependent on a developer to make changes.
Does Showit work for blogging?
Yes. Showit runs your blog through WordPress, which is the industry standard for blogging and gives you strong SEO foundations.
How does Showit compare to Squarespace or Wix?
Squarespace and Wix lock you into their own template structures. Showit gives you true design freedom — whether you're starting from scratch or customising a professionally designed template, nothing is constrained by the platform itself.
Can I use my own domain with Showit?
Yes. You easily connect your existing domain directly to your Showit site.
Is Showit good for SEO?
Yes. The WordPress blog integration gives you solid SEO capability, and Showit's pages are fully customisable for meta titles and descriptions.
Can I sell products or services through Showit?
Showit integrates with third-party tools like ThriveCart, Shopify and WooCommerce, so selling services or digital products is straightforward.
Do I need a separate hosting plan?
No. Hosting is included in your Showit subscription.
What happens if I need help with my Showit site?
Showit has its own support team and an active user community. If you're starting with a Maeten template, our documentation and support resources are included with your purchase and we are always available to help.
