Elementor

4.0

(46)

"Elementor. It's the perfect blend of easy of use and complexity."

"Recommend elementor, especially now with their new update to increase speed and decrease LCP"

"Great options for building funnels with customization and better pricing."

"I have been using the free version of elementor for friends/family etc."

"Just use Elementor free version."

"If you want premade templates, nothing can beat Elementor."

"I would recommend elementor, the theme hello elementor, which is an extremely light weight theme with only wordpress and elementor."

"I work with Elementor most of the time and I get a very good loading speed, after optimizing the website."

"Elementor Pro is the best. I have designed tons of websites with Elementor Pro and my clients always love the results!"

"Elementor is highly recommended without question."

bricks

"If you're looking for high customizability and solid performance, I'd lean toward Bricks Builder."

"+1 for Bricks! I really love the ease of use and flexibility."

"Bricks all the way ... nothing comes even close."

"Bricks on the hype-train right now. It's really good."

"Bricks Page Builder is fast, and easy to use. I’ve used it in most of my projects, and it never disappoints!"

WordPress

"We build our websites on WordPress using Breakdance. It’s super quick and very easy to use."

"Wordpress and Breakdance Pro Breakdance is intuitive and fast."

"Extensive customization options and numerous help articles available."

"Now, the WordPress editor itself is a page builder."

"The block editor does not bloat up the DOM unlike Elementor and other page builders, resulting in better page speed."

"Just pick a theme like understrap which is wordpress + boostrap and code it by hand. It WILL be faster."

"Just use the WP editor (Gutenburg) with the right blocks/patterns and you don't need a page builder."

"You should avoid all page builders but Gutenberg."

"I just built my first Wordpress site and I had no idea these existed. It looks like I’ve just been using the Gutenberg built in editor. Worked great for me."

"A powerful builder with predefined client design patterns."

"Use Gutenberg instead, it might take a bit longer but you'll have a better website in the long run."

"[Kadence](https://www.kadencewp.com/kadence-theme/starter-templates/) is another option."

"Someone suggested Kadence to me recently. Maybe have a look at that"

"Kadence!"

"I still use Kadence when I'm lazy and doing free stuff to help people! I think what I like about them is that because they prioritize accessibility, I trust they will fix any issues I find."
