Which Is Better: WordPress or Showit?
If you’ve been looking into a new website, you’ve probably come across Showit.
It’s pretty, it’s drag and drop, and it’s everywhere in the creative world right now.
So when clients ask me, “Why do you still build on WordPress instead of Showit?” it’s a fair question.
And the truth is, it’s not about what’s trending. It’s about what’s going to work long term.
WordPress has all the design freedom (and then some)
There’s this common idea that Showit is the creative platform and WordPress is the techy one.
But that couldn’t be further from the truth.
The way we design at The Good Canvas, WordPress is just as visual and intuitive. We use a modern builder that lets us layer images, play with movement, customize fonts, and create layouts that feel like art.
The difference is that WordPress doesn’t stop there.
It gives you the beauty and the backbone.

It’s your home, you should own it
When you build on WordPress, you’re not renting space on someone else’s land. You actually own it: your domain, your design, your SEO, your content.
That means no subscription limits, no locked templates, and no worries about what happens if a platform changes direction.
You can grow, move, edit, or expand without starting over.
It grows with your business
One of my favourite things about WordPress is that it can evolve right alongside you.
Start with a simple service-based site, and down the road you can easily add a blog, shop, course, or booking system.
You’ll never have to switch platforms or rebuild from scratch.
It’s powerful where it counts
Showit is beautiful, but when it comes to performance and SEO, WordPress is unmatched.
Its structure is built for Google visibility, which means your website can actually bring in traffic, not just look good.
Even Showit itself uses WordPress for its blogging capabilities because that’s where the real optimization happens.
So if you’re blogging, marketing, or growing your reach, you’re already relying on WordPress in some way.
It’s built to last
Because WordPress is open source, you’re never locked into one company’s ecosystem.
There’s an entire global community keeping it updated, secure, and expanding with new features.
You’ll always have access to fresh tools, integrations, and support, not just a handful of preset templates.
We design on WordPress because it’s creative and capable.
It’s the platform that lets your website look like art and work like strategy.
We want your site to feel like you today, but also grow with you in the years ahead.
That’s what WordPress does best.
