Best Page Builders for WordPress- You Should Know About

 Since the appearance of visual editors, today practically anyone with a little patience can create a website with WordPress without having design and programming knowledge.

Visual editors have made life much easier for us and are even used by many professional designers, who despite having the necessary knowledge to design a website from scratch, prefer to use this type of tool due to the possibilities they offer and the speed with which you can create a site from scratch.

The best thing about this type of tool to design a web page is that you can use any of the best WordPress templates without problems, you will not be tied to any since even if you change the template in the future your designs will remain without problems in most of the cases.

Anyway, there are themes that allow you to get the most out of all these layout designers since they are created to exploit the 100%. Astra Theme is one of them, that if you don't know it we recommend you take a look because it has many possibilities.

Whether you already have a website and want to improve it, or if you are going to start your project from scratch and don't know which editor to start with, take a look at this selection that we have prepared and choose the one you like best:

Visual Composer

Divi Builder

Thrive Architect

Beaver Builder

Elementor Pro

1.Visual Composer

It is probably one of the first visual mockers that appeared and it is spread by many WordPress sites that you can find in the SERPS.

One of the factors that have most influenced its proliferation in thousands of installations is that it is included in most of the themes that are sold on sites like Themeforest which is the largest marketplace of WordPress templates, hence its use comes by default, and thousands of sites use it.

It is very convenient to use this layout since you just have to drag and drop the element you want and voila, you are designing your template.

The biggest drawback it has is that it leaves a lot of code on your page and also, if you decide to do without it tomorrow, your design will be totally damaged and it will be difficult for you to restructure the texts again.

2.Divi Builder

This is probably the most widely used layout and for many, the best, and that started as a valid plugin for a single template (the famous Elegant Themes Divi template) to later evolve and become a plugin that you can use in any other template of your taste.

There are true fans of the Divi plugin and the Divi theme who, to this day, despite having come up with new alternatives that face it, continue to defend it as the best of all, especially after having recently released version 4.0, which improves substantially the previous one.

Divi is probably the easiest to use and as we say it gives very good results.

If after conducting your analysis you choose it, take a look at our Divi Hosting designed to create your website in less than 30 days.

3.Thrive Architect

One of the visual editors that has stood out the most in Spain, since it has been used by many people despite the fact that in the rest of the world it is not as well known, or at least it is used much less than the rivals that we will comment on below and that little by little they are eating the market.

Thrive Architect is an editor designed more especially to create landing pages or more specific sales pages.

It is a complete page designer but perhaps it is more focused on optimizing sales and attracting leads, although as we say, complete sites can be created with it.

4.Beaver Builder

This is perhaps the layout designer most used by design professionals today since its possibilities are endless, although it is true sometimes if you want to do something complicated, it results somewhat more difficult to handle than the others, but as we say, this it is due to the infinity of possibilities it presents.

It uses a Drag & Drop system that allows you to see on the front end live how you are modifying the design of your site.

One of the things we like the most about Beaver Builder is the infinity of Addons that you can find on the market, which allow you to have an infinity of templates and blocks predesigned by third parties ready to include in your design with a simple click.

This gives you endless options to create web pages quickly and without technical knowledge.

5.Elementor Pro

Elementor is the most recent of all the mentioned plugins but it is undoubtedly one of the strongest to enter the market.

It has a free version that you can find in the WordPress repository that gives you many possibilities to

create a professional website with a few clicks.

This has made it the preferred option for many users who in principle have no interest in paying for a plugin of this type.

It is true that if you want to achieve the best results and have access to all its possibilities, you will have to do with the version of Elementor Pro, which is the paid version, but for starters or for basic things the free version is also quite complete.

On the other hand, like Beaver Builder, it has countless companies behind it that are creating very good and affordable Addons which allow you to extend its possibilities to the maximum.

The war of the best visual layout designers has only just begun, we will see who wins over time or if new editors come out that surpass the current ones.

Thanks to the use of this type of visual editor, it has been possible to carry out different courses to make the most of all its functionalities such as the Basic Elementor Course or the Divi Course.
