If you’ve been around A Design Haus for any length of time (or have followed Kara over the years), you know she doesn’t throw her name behind just anything. She’s picky. Which means we’re picky. Very picky. And when it comes to websites, we exclusively build on Showit—not because we have to, but because we want to. Actually, scratch that—we insist on it. Why? Because Showit is the Gretzky of website platforms. It’s powerful, it’s beautiful, and it does things other platforms wish they could do. And since Kara has been a customer since the early days (she’s a 2006 OG), we’ve seen firsthand why Showit is the go-to choice for designers, creatives, and business owners who refuse to settle for cookie-cutter websites. Here’s where we are going to break it all down for you.

01: Showit gives us unmatched creative freedom.

Other website platforms? They box you in like the middle seat in economy—cramped, rigid, and with absolutely no legroom for creativity. Interfaces that aren’t intuitive and have you in tears on a good day. Dreaming of a fully custom layout that doesn’t look like it’s from 2012? Not a chance.

Showit, on the other hand, gives us total design freedom. We can create anything from sleek and minimal to bold and artsy, without having to fight with clunky code or restrictive templates. This means our clients get a one-of-a-kind Showit website that actually feels like them, not a slightly modified version of someone else’s.

02: Your mobile Showit website won’t look like an afterthought.

Ever pulled up a website on your phone only to find that everything is wildly out of place, doesn’t function as it should when you tap, or simply feeling miserable to surfing it? Yeah, our clients don’t have time for that kind of crap. And that doesn’t happen with Showit. Unlike other platforms that say they optimize for mobile, Showit actually allows for us to custom design the mobile version of a site separately. This means your Showit website will look effortlessly flawless, no matter what device someone’s using.

03: The blogging power of WordPress without the headaches.

We love Showit, but we also respect the power of WordPress. But guess what? So do they. It’s why Showit integrates seamlessly with WordPress for blogging. You get all the SEO benefits, customization, and content management tools of WordPress without having to actually build your site there (because let’s be honest, WordPress websites can be an absolute and very painful bore).

You get all the power of WordPress without the stress-induced headaches. A high-performance blog without the high-maintenance drama. It’s the best of both worlds.

04: Easy for you to Update (Yes, really).

We don’t believe in holding our clients hostage every time they want to switch out a photo or update their operating hours. Showit is designed to be user-friendly, which means once we hand off your beautifully custom website, you can actually manage it yourself without breaking it.

Drag-and-drop simplicity? Check. (Though, let’s be real—major design overhauls are still best left to the experts. We’ve seen some things…) No coding required? Check. The ability to make updates without sending a frantic email to your web designer? Check.

Of course, if you’d rather be hands-off and let us handle updates, we’re here for that too. But knowing you can make changes without the stress or tears? That’s the kind of freedom we like to offer our clients.

5. SEO? Yep, Showit’s got that too.

A stunning website is great, but if no one can find it, then what’s the point? Showit makes SEO easy with customizable page titles, meta descriptions, and image alt text. Not to mention, since your blog runs on WordPress, you get access to powerful SEO tools like Yoast to keep your content ranking.

And because Showit uses a clean code structure (unlike some other platforms that shall not be named), search engines have no problem crawling and indexing your site. Translation? A better shot at landing on that coveted first page of Google.

6. Real, human support (Not a robot in sight).

Ever tried getting help from a big-name website platform? If you have, you probably know the joy of waiting three to five business days for a vague, copy-and-paste response. Showit’s support team, on the other hand, is made up of actual humans who have yet to let us down. Even after 18 years and we think that’s saying somethin’. They respond quickly, they’re beyond helpful, and they actually want you to succeed.

Basically, what we’re saying is this: Showit Wins. Every Time.

We believe your website should be as unique as your brand—something that represents you fully and functions flawlessly. Showit makes that possible, and we’re here to help you bring your vision to life.
