If you’re in the market for an amazing Showit template for your new website, or perhaps you’re still juggling your options between Showit, WordPress, Squarespace, and Wix – you’re in the right spot. I’m here to give you the lowdown on Showit, share my personal experiences, and help you figure out if it’s your perfect match.

Showit 101: A Quick Crash Course
So, what’s the deal with Showit? Imagine a hosted website platform that takes the hassle of hosting off your plate – sounds dreamy, right? No more paying for hosting like you would with WordPress. It’s perfect for those who aren’t tech wizards and definitely for first-time website creators.
Showit requires a subscription ranging from about $230 to $400 per year, depending on what you need. The cheapest option is great for a simple blog, while the pricier one caters to high-traffic sites needing advanced features. The design interface is unique – think of it as a blank canvas waiting for your artistic touch. And here’s a fun twist – the blog hosting is managed through WordPress, so if you’re familiar with that, you’ll feel right at home.
Why Showit Stands Out
- Ease of Use: It’s more user-friendly than WordPress, especially during the design and building stages.
- Flexibility: Offers more creative freedom compared to Squarespace.
- Performance: Faster loading times and better SEO compared to Wix.
- Aesthetics: Perfect for creating stunning visuals even if you’re not a design pro.

Let’s dive into templates, shall we?
Northfolk Showit Templates
Northfolk is a well-known name in the Showit template universe. Their themes are stunning, with a special knack for photography businesses, but they’ve got gems for copywriters and coaches too.
My top pick? The Universal Base – a minimalist, neutral template that’s a blank slate for your creativity. And if you’re feeling fancy, their Universal Add-on Kit includes sections for podcasts, blogs, online stores, and more.
Feeling adventurous? Northfolk also offers single canvas add-ons to sprinkle some wow-factor onto any site. Think marquee text, stacking images, and split screen scrolls – features that scream sophistication.

A Few Final Thoughts
Before you rush off to purchase your dream template, a quick word of wisdom: templates are not magical fix-alls. Your site’s success hinges on quality images, consistent branding, and compelling messaging. Templates are a strong start, but they need your unique touch and strategy to truly shine.
