The short answer
What is Showit website design?
Showit is a drag-and-drop website builder loved by photographers, wedding professionals, coaches and creative brands for its design freedom and WordPress blog integration. Showit website design covers custom design from scratch, premium template customisation, WordPress blog setup, SEO foundations, mobile optimisation and optional care plans.
Showit makes it easy to build a beautiful site. It does not make it easy to build one that brings enquiries. That depends on how clearly the site explains your offer, how quickly a visitor finds your prices or booking link, how the mobile layout is designed (Showit lets you design it separately, which is a gift and a trap), and whether the blog is set up so search engines can find your work.
SpiderHunts Technologies is a UK-registered company with its registered office in London and its designers and engineers in Lahore, and more than 1,000 clients since 2020. We build Showit websites designed to match your brand, turn visitors into clients, and stay easy for you to update yourself.

Page-level meta tags, Open Graph data, schema markup where applicable, image compression, mobile speed optimisation and full Google Search Console setup before launch.
08
Sales pages & lead magnets
Launch pages, freebie opt-ins and waitlist pages connected to your email platform, so a new offer can go live without rebuilding the site.
09
Care plans & updates
Optional, separately agreed care plans after launch: new pages, seasonal updates, blog template tweaks and help when something on the site needs changing.
Pretty is not the same as booked
A beautiful site that doesn’t bring enquiries is an expensive portfolio.
Most creative business sites we review look lovely on a desktop screen. The problems show up on a phone, in search results and at the moment someone decides whether to get in touch.
A site that only looks good
- A template with someone else’s brand still showing through the fonts, colours and structure
- A mobile layout that was never designed, just squashed from desktop
- Full-size gallery images that make pages slow on a phone signal
- Pricing, packages and the enquiry form buried three clicks deep
- A blog that is not set up for search, so years of posts bring no traffic
A Showit site built by SpiderHunts
- A design built around your brand voice, your offer and your ideal client
- A mobile layout designed on its own, for how clients actually browse
- Compressed images and a speed pass before launch
- A clear route from any page to your packages and enquiry or booking form
- A WordPress blog with categories, internal linking and meta data set up properly

Before you spend anything
When Showit is the right platform: and when it isn’t
Showit is excellent for the right business and a poor fit for others. We will tell you honestly which you are.
Choose Showit when…
- Your visual identity matters a lot and you want layouts no template grid allows
- You want to update pages yourself without touching code
- You sell a service: photography, weddings, coaching, creative work
- Blogging and search traffic are part of how you get clients
- You want the mobile site designed deliberately, not generated
Choose something else when…
- You need a full online shop with a large catalogue: Shopify or WooCommerce will serve you better
- You need a members area, bookings engine or custom web application built in
- Your team will not maintain separate desktop and mobile layouts
- Your current site already converts and only needs content updates
- You need complex multi-language content across many regions
Choosing a platform
Showit vs Squarespace vs WordPress vs Wix
All four can produce a good site. The differences are in design freedom, blogging and how much maintenance you take on.
| Showit | Squarespace | WordPress (on its own) | Wix | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Visual brands: photographers, wedding pros, coaches | Tidy sites with built-in commerce and scheduling | Content-heavy sites and custom functionality | Small businesses wanting an all-in-one builder |
| Design freedom | Very high: free placement, no grid | Medium: section-based | Unlimited, with a developer | High |
| Mobile layout | Designed separately | Mostly adapted from desktop | Depends on the theme | Adjustable per element |
| Blogging & SEO | WordPress blog alongside | Built in, simpler | Strongest | Built in |
| Maintenance | Low: hosted | Low: hosted | Updates, plugins and security to manage | Low: hosted |
| Edit without code | Yes | Yes | Yes, with a good theme | Yes |

FAQ
Questions about Showit website design
Straight answers to what buyers ask before they sign.
Still have a question?
Ask us directly. A senior engineer reads every question.
Ask about your projectWhat is Showit and who is it for?
Showit is a drag-and-drop website builder loved by photographers, wedding professionals, coaches, course creators and creative brands for its design freedom. It pairs with WordPress for blogging and SEO. It is best for brands where visual identity matters a lot and the owner wants to update the site without code.
How much does a Showit website cost?
As a guide, customising a Showit template you have bought costs £1,500–£3,500, a custom Showit design from scratch £4,000–£9,000, and a migration to Showit £2,500–£6,000. WordPress blog setup adds £800–£2,000 if you do not have a blog today. Your Showit subscription and template are separate. We give a written quote, with scope and exclusions, after a free call.
Do you design custom Showit websites from scratch?
Yes. We design bespoke Showit websites around your brand voice, your offer and your ideal client: never another cookie-cutter template. Mobile-first design, conversion-led copy and SEO foundations from day one.
Do you customise Showit templates I already bought?
Yes. If you bought a Showit template (from Showit, Tonic, Davey & Krista, With Grace and Gold, GoLive or others) we customise it to feel completely yours: brand colours, fonts, copy, structure and SEO setup.
Should I buy a template or get a custom Showit design?
A template customised well is the right choice if your budget is tighter, you like a template’s structure and you need to launch in weeks. A custom design is worth it when your brand needs to stand apart, your offer does not fit a template’s page structure, or you have already outgrown a template site. We will tell you which one fits after seeing your current site.
Can you set up a WordPress blog on my Showit site?
Yes. Showit pairs with WordPress for blogging. We set up the WordPress blog with a design that matches your Showit site, category pages, SEO foundations, internal linking, and a blog editing experience your team can use.
Do you specialise in Showit for photographers?
Yes: wedding photographers, family photographers, brand photographers and boudoir photographers are some of our most common Showit clients. We understand the booking and conversion patterns of this category and design accordingly.
Can you migrate my Squarespace or WordPress site to Showit?
Yes. We handle migration from Squarespace, WordPress, Wix or Webflow to Showit with all SEO redirects in place to help preserve your existing rankings. A typical migration runs 3 to 5 weeks.
How long does a Showit website project take?
A custom Showit design from scratch typically runs 5 to 8 weeks. Template customisation projects typically run 2 to 4 weeks. Migration projects typically run 3 to 5 weeks. WordPress blog setup adds 1 to 2 weeks if your previous site did not have one.
Will my Showit website be SEO-friendly?
Yes. We set up technical SEO foundations including page-level meta tags, Open Graph data, schema markup where applicable, image compression, mobile speed optimisation and full Google Search Console setup before launch.
Can I update the site myself after launch?
Yes: that is one of the main reasons to choose Showit. We hand over with a walkthrough of editing text and images, adding gallery pages and publishing blog posts, and we design reusable page sections so new pages stay on-brand.
Is Showit the right choice if I want to sell products?
For a few digital products or session bookings, Showit with a payment or booking tool works well. For a full online shop with a real catalogue, stock and shipping, a platform built for commerce such as Shopify or WooCommerce is usually a better choice, and we build those too.
