Showit vs Squarespcae
Same stylish designs. Two different builders.
Which one fits you?
Whether you live for total drag-and-drop freedom (Showit) or prefer Squarespace’s all-in-one dashboard, our Palma design deliver the same refined aesthetic. Swap in your colors, copy and images—just choose what fits the way you work.
Good design shouldn’t limit you to one platform.
SHOWIT = full creative control and easy-to-edit pixel-perfect placement.

A Platform Snapshot
Questions + Answers
Nope. Both versions stay code-free so you can easily just pop in your photo and images without worrying about code.
Do I need to learn any code?
02
Yes, a few pages and canvases were not inclued. We tried to include a majority of the commonly used pages. However, you might not find the Resources, Affiliate Shop, etc. Some canvases could not be re-created, but 90% of the site is almost identical!
Is anything missing from the Squrespace Version?
01
You can, but you’d need to repurchase. Each builder uses different file types under the hood.
Can I switch platforms later?
04
Showit buyers (from Saffron Avenue) do not have design/setup support (but will try to help answer any questions if stuck). Squarespace buyers get SquareStylist support for 3 months.
