Why We Build Your Website on WordPress
And why it will feel just as easy and intuitive as Showit – and even more!
When someone reaches out to work with us, there’s a question that almost always comes up.
“Will I actually be able to edit my site on my own if it’s on WordPress?”
We understand the worry behind that question. WordPress has a reputation for being powerful, but complicated. Showit, Wix and Squarespace have a reputation for being simple, but they’re very limited. And most creative business owners just want a website they can update without breaking anything.
So let me soften this right away.
The WordPress websites we build for you are beautiful, strategic, and completely editable. You will be able to change text, update photos, swap sections, and even build new pages if you want to.
And you will not need any tech experience to do it, promise!
Let’s talk through why we use WordPress and how we make the experience feel as intuitive as the drag and drop builders you already know.
WordPress gives you full creative freedom
Showit is known for its design flexibility, but here’s the truth many people do not realize.
A custom WordPress website can be just as creative, visual, and fluid.
The difference is that WordPress does not limit you once your business grows.
That means
• more advanced layouts
• animations and movement
• better SEO foundations
• unlimited customization
• no limits on scale as your business evolves
You get the design freedom and the longevity.

THE GOOD CANVAS
We structure your backend so it feels simple
The part that overwhelms people with WordPress is not WordPress itself.
It’s poor setup.
Most people see cluttered dashboards, unnecessary plugins, and confusing page builders. That’s not what your experience will be.
Inside your website, you’ll have
• clean, labelled sections
• pre-built blocks you can choose from
• a simple visual editor
• no hidden technical areas
• no complex decisions
• no risk of “breaking” anything
Everything is organized, streamlined, and built with intention so you can log in, make a change, and leave. No stress. No digging.
You only see what you need
When we build WordPress websites, we hide or disable anything you don’t need access to.
You’re not staring at 40 buttons you’ll never use.
You’re not trying to interpret settings meant for developers.
Your dashboard becomes a calm workspace that makes sense.
Our goal is always the same: Make the backend feel as peaceful as the front end looks.
You get a walkthrough and a training session
You won’t be left to figure things out.
Every website we build includes a recorded walkthrough so you can always revisit how to:
• change copy
• update images
• add testimonials
• upload a blog post
• create new pages
• adjust your menu
• embed forms or buttons
You will know exactly how your site works.
And you’ll have the confidence to use it.
WordPress gives you more power behind the scenes
As your business grows, your website needs to grow with you.
WordPress gives you the features you’ll want later, even if you don’t need them right now.
Think:
• stronger SEO
• better load times
• more integrations
• ecommerce options
• membership or course capabilities
• advanced blogging tools
• better long term stability
And yes, this is exactly why Showit uses WordPress for all their blogging features.
Even they rely on WordPress for what matters most.
A DIY-friendly site that’s built for the long term
We want you to have a website you can update on your own and a website that can support your business for years. WordPress gives you both. And our design process bridges the gap so it feels simple, intuitive, and steady.
Your website should not feel fragile.
It should feel like a tool that gives you freedom.
Every website we create at The Good Canvas blends artistic design with strategic thinking
so your brand feels deeply yours and your website works quietly in the background to bring you more visibility and more aligned clients.
If you are ready for a website that grows with you, I would love to build it with you.
