Page Builders

Page builders promise easy website design. Some deliver. Most create bloated sites that load slowly and lock you into their ecosystem forever. I’ve built with all the major options and have strong opinions about which ones are worth your time.
This category covers Elementor, Bricks, Kadence Blocks, GenerateBlocks, Beaver Builder, and whatever new builder shows up claiming to be different. You’ll find honest comparisons based on real projects, not feature checklists copied from sales pages.
I evaluate page builders on what actually matters: page speed impact, code quality, learning curve, long-term maintainability, and whether you can leave without rebuilding everything. Some builders I loved in 2020, I’d never recommend today. Others have quietly become the best options available. These reviews reflect what I’d actually use on my own sites.
