Showit is a site constructor platform where everybody can create it is own template as a designer.

As in many other website template systems you can either create free website or purchase a prepaid design from a professional designer.

While at first glance it looks similar to other template constructors there are several major differences. Showit websites are different from other constructors in everything. From contact form to Showit themes you can tell the difference.  Let’s see all these futures more in detail.

Showit websites.

Unlike Wix or WordPress there is no free subscription option. Yes. You have to pay for Showit to publish your site. Its pricing depends on packages included. For example Showit websites does not have its own blog but uses WordPress for that.

If you do not need a blog and just want a Showit websites that where you will update texts instead, price would be the lowest.

For the WordPress blog price would be a bit more expensive. Platform charges you on a monthly basis. Thus before you take any decision regarding how to move forward you better decide which kind of subscription you need. 

Another good point is that it does not charge you extra if you want to set up a shop.

Showit Themes.

As one of the most common question every new owner of his site asks himself:

“What platform should I choose if I have Showit vs WordPress?”.

There are so many pros and cons to this answer. It is really hard to say. Themes are completely different and are aiming at different goals.  However, let’s get over that step by step to explore one by one feature – Showit themes.

Showit themes in a huge number appeared not long ago but still managing to take its own niche on the market. 

If we look at WordPress it is a system that allows you to build site in no time having thousands of plugins to add functionality to the website. Initially created as a tool to facilitate blogging now it turned into monstrous platform that can be tailored to almost any need you can have from the website nowadays.

Contrary to WordPress Showit themes does not have any embedded features apart from the blog that is done in WordPress.

However it allows for total customization of a website design  and look. In no other platform system you can manage so many drawing details as in. As a result you can turn your website into a state of art using all design features that system offers.

Wordrpess on the contrary has its design customization abilities severely limited. Yes there are some plugins that allow for additional customization but it is a far cry from what Showit can offer.

Wix vs Showit .

When potential site owner has a question of   Wix vs Showit option he should ask himself “ What I am going to use my site for  in future?”

If it is just a shop that would need more and more items in future then Wix is a best bet as it allows to scale your Wix selling stuff.

There is no pre-setup option for selling of the items.  Each item description you have to do manually.

System does not have its own payment gateway. It means that  in order to organize merchant gateway you have to look for a side provider such as Shopify(button), WooCommerce, Paddle and other payment gateway providers.

 For this very reason the it is a great platform to sell limited number of crafted or other special stuff which are not really scalable but unique and can have a customized appearance.

Even simple websites on this looks way more attractive then those on other platforms.

If you are an unexperienced designer but want to improve the outlook of your website the best way is to turn to professional designer.  Most of the people who come are applying for designer help are former Wix or Squarespace users who are switching to get better looking website.

But you can still create a template on your own. Use an initial template given to you once you register your account.

There are no Free Website templates apart from the initial one given you as a base for customization. Even contact Form you have to build on your own.

Thus, the bottom line is that if you want just a shop or information site without deep dive in then choose Wix or Squarespace.

To customize shop, site and blog with scaling WordPress would play best.

If you want to design a crafted website where you will sell unique staff as in a boutique store then your bet is Showit. At the end of the days it is not Wix vs Showit but your desire to get fast and simple or long and shining.
