Website builders like Showit make it easy for anyone to customize their website. Drag-and-drop technology will let you move components of your pages around and put them exactly where you want them. 

It’s easy to add custom fonts and choose colors that reflect the personality you want your business to evoke, whether that’s sophisticated, funky, down-to-earth, whimsical, or adventurous. And you can save those choices so they’re reflected throughout your website.


3. Start customizing.

One of the most important things you’ll do in the process of building your website is assigning a domain name to your site. We recommend keeping your domain name simple and specific so that it’s easy to remember (the name of your business is ideal) and avoid using things like numbers or special characters. 

Showit makes it easy to connect your domain. Either have the Showit team connect it for you, or they’ll send you simple, step-by-step directions. 

Speaking of the Showit customer support team: Don’t be afraid to ask for help along the way. Showit’s customer support team is among the best. Just use our in-app chatbox to get in touch and ask your questions. A Showit support pro will be there to help!
