About this episode
Kristin Richards discusses her transition from WordPress to Showit, highlighting the benefits and ease of use for website design.
After designing dozens and dozens of websites over the years, I made the switch from WordPress to Showit back in 2020—and I haven't looked back. In this episode, I'm breaking down the real reasons behind the switch (and no, it's not just because it's "pretty"). From ditching plugin updates to freeing up design control, I'm sharing the behind-the-scenes of how this move made life easier for both me and my clients—and how it helped me grow my business, too. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by WordPress, stuck in rigid design limitations, or want a simpler way to launch a beautiful and strategic site—this one's for you. HERE'S WHAT I'M SHARING: - Why I got tired of constant plugin updates and tech fires - The stress-free maintenance experience with Showit - How Showit gives total creative freedom—without needing to code - Why the WordPress blog integration still plays a role in my website strategy - How switching to Showit made selling website templates 10x easier - The hidden perks that made it a no-brainer for my creative, travel-based clients RESOURCES MENTIONED: → Try Showit (my affiliate link): https://showit.com/r/inflow → Explore our travel-inspired Showit website templates…
