   Goodness only knows why headway is in your list. As a beginner I found it really frustrating to use. The whole “shared layouts” aspect is so poorly explained it caused more problems than it was worth. I tried so hard with it but the documentation is poor and the support is lacklustre. In fact within the last 2 months there is zero support. There are minimal video guides to using it. it is sold as a drag and drop and responsive builder, sure you can drag and drop but where you drop blocks is not where they appear on a live site without a heck of a lot of adding margins and padding, which results in it being very unresponsive and just causing a headache all round.

   3 weeks ago I jumped into beaver builder. Absolutely fantastic product, it actually works! It is intuitive, quick to pick up, tons of modules that you would have to purchase as extra in headway. I am in no way affiliated to beaver builder as much as this may sound, but it was the best decision ditching headway and going for beaver, I’m just gutted I didn’t use it from the beginning.. I wasted so much time and effort and nearly lost confidence in myself using headway. Beaver has been fantastic, great slack community too. I can’t comment on the others as I’ve not tried them. Beaver builder all the way!!

     The great thing about WordPress is that it gives you plenty of great choices. We like both Headway and BeaverBuilder, they are both great tools to build your website.

   I must say Visual Composer is ok but does not work totally with my theme, support is poor and the amount of CSS I still have to do to get things adjusted is just mad, I am tempted after this in trying beaver builder!

   Great Article! I was looking for alternative to the various Page Builders out there and came across this article. I had never before heard of or used Beaver Builder before but after reading this article and perusing through the comments I was driven enough to buy Beaver Builder. I have developed in WordPress for over 6 years and I have to say Beaver Builder is probably the best piece of software geared towards WordPress that I have ever used let alone page builder. Kudos to everyone for sending me in the right direction! I was even compelled enough to write about my first impressions of Beaver Builder based off of my experience with it from reading this article.

   If you’d like to check it out feel free!

   Thanks again WP-Beginner for another great article.

   Site Origins page builder should at least A grade. Not only because completely free and has many addons, but because it easy to use.

   Visual Composer, also interesting.

   I just want to give a well-deserved (in my opinion) mention to SiteOrigin’s Page Builder. I was a complete novice, having never built a website before and in fact having never even heard of WordPress previously – that’s how much I knew about building a website.

   It took me quite a while to begin with and adding new pages with the layout I wanted was still quite a challenge. Then I discovered Page Builder which changed everything. It’s VERY easy to use, has everything most people who are page building will need and it’s also completely free.

   I can’t compare it to anything else as I have only ever trialled one other which I didn’t get on with and can’t remember the name of, but anybody searching these pages who is trying to put a website together, especially on a budget, could do a lot worse than try Page Builder.

     I use it as well and am very satisfied, it does pretty much everything. I have had it crash though when WordPress has been updated and it hasn’t. Also, the size of the sites it creates seem very large even if the site you’ve created doesn’t have much content. I do also find myself using a lot of custom CSS in order to override some of the prebuilt site wide stuff in there, but hey, at least it lets you do that.

    Hi, nice article, but is it biased? You totally ignored Visual Composer, which is the biggest and most flexible one, with lots of components you can add from 3rd party and even you can shortcodize other plugins and player.

      Yes and as authors of several premium WordPress plugins, we can also say that Visual Composer is also the least compatible one to work causing a lot of bugs and compatibility issues.

      However we do agree that we need to a version 2 of this article to add other builders that we didn’t include to add pros / cons of each.

          Agree! Another list with more categories aside from ease of use, flexibility, and the design output. A suggestion would be the testing the page builder’s compatibility with third-party plugins and themes.

          Would also like to know why was Page Builder Sandwich overlooked when the article was made? We may have missed a tiny spot on the three categories you guys mentioned that we can improve on. Thanks!

    I have using both Divi & Site Origin – but with respect to ease of use & flexibility, I prefer Site Origin. One aspect that beats Divi is the number of columns that can be created. In Divi, the restriction is 4 columns but in Site Origin it’s upto 8 columns – it makes Site Origin a better choice from the points for flexibility. On the other hand, in Divi, padding & margin for modules can be set individually for all each of the four sides, where as in Site Origin, it can only be set up for all the four sides together.

    • Mike Oliver says

      Ene 21, 2016 en 11:34 am

      Manas, in Pagebuilder you can do that as well. Instead of using the global padding under Layout/Padding, go to Attributes/CSS Styles and you can set the padding individually, just add each style one line at a time leaving off the curly braces. For example:

      margin-left: 20px;
      padding: 10px 30px 0px 10px;

        Divi has become way to messy, and their support is very poor. In 2 years I have submitted 4 tickets and never had an issues attended to. The most common reply is “Support over 24 hours due to high service demands” or the like. It feels clumsy a 2 star rating from me.

    This summary is pretty spot on, although I would upgrade Site Origin to a B+ Site Origin’s pagebuilder is one of the only ones that has not been buggy at some point for me, it always works smoothly and is not overly filled with options. I have used all the other accept Beaver Builder (although I tried the demo and it seems pretty great).

    I have a Themify membership and I stopped using it because of the overload of options. There is too many option panels, it could be a lot simpler and lighter, same thing with Divi and Visual Composer. It seems to me the ones that pack in too much and rely too much on short code are the ones slowing down sites and causing theme conflicts. I think as far as the builders, in my opinion less is more.

    I like that Site Origin has the options you need, but allows you to code in the rest and doesn’t rely on tons of options. Beaver Builder seems to be on the same page as far as a lightweight and cleaner builder.

    Anyone have an feedback on whether or not Beaver Builder works better with the BB theme, or just as good with other themes? I would think the BB theme would be best coded and optimized for the builder. It’s an extra $100 to get the theme with the builder, may be worth it though rather than risking conflicts with other themes.

    Nice article. WordPress is a powerful Content Management System that comes with number of modules that suits any complex business scenario and has the ability to make your digital dream a reality. WP importantly provides framework that makes a consistent design and have responsive modules that works well with any device.

    I feel Themify is one the best theme builders that comes with drag and drop functionalities to help a designer built a website with ease. It is a framework that satisfies the development of small as well as large websites and even can be used to build e-commerce websites. The highlight of Themify is that it can design a page from front-end as well as back-end that attracts me the most. To know the backend code helps the developer to make changes as and when required by including short codes or by modifying the coding.

    Thanks for the insights.

      I agree. Aqua Page Builder is great and Syamil did an awesome job with it. It’s pretty easy to develop for and add new elements to. One of the things I dig is that you develop a page in the plugin and then include it with a short code, which makes it easy to integrate into other items, like plugins and themes.

    My only complaint is I wish there were some different type elements that a lot of my clients ask for like progress bars, counters, colored Google Maps, and others. I think I would have to use Intense Shortcodes with BB but hopefully they will add more of those type of elements.

    You really should test drive BB at their demo http://demo.wpbeaverbuilder.com and find out for yourself.

      Like visual composer we’re starting to see any ecosystem build up around beaver builder. Take a look at ultimate add-ons for beaver builder UABB, and PowerBuilder power pack for beaver builder.. These additional plugins, have a free lite version as well as the commercial version with all the features. They add the additional kinds of modules that you’re looking for like progress bars countdown clocks Cortines tabs portfolio grids, etc.

      I’ve used visual composer with the Impreza theme for the last two or three years for almost all my client projects, but I just switched to a combination of using Genesis and beaver builder because the performance and stability is so much better.

    I realize this article may be focused on standalone builders, but if one is considering a complete package– theme and builder– I cannot recommend X’s latest enough.

    Themeco has incorporated their own pagebuilder into X called Cornerstone, and I really love it. Unlike VC, it is efficient code. But what I love the most is the UX. When I first got my hands on it it was just SO intuitive. For more advanced users it has a built in CSS editor for every page as well.

    I also realize there may be concern about what happens if one changes themes. Indeed, the Cornerstone stuff would not change over, it’s dedicated to X. But… at the same time I also don’t think there’s a site design that can’t be accomplished with X, so there may not be a reason to switch down the road. (that, of course is a whole different discussion!)

    You guys should check it out.

    Another comment worth to mention …

    The only thing I do not like in Beaver Builder so far is the fragmentation of the UI into two parts (not counting the admin area of the WP, amounting to 3 different interfaces).

    Do you have an interface to page builder and another in the WP Customizer for the general settings of theme.

    That, IMHO, Layers beats any competitor, it integrates the theme options and the builder all in the Customizer, making the user experience more smooth and linear.

    I have used Beaver Builder and I’m loving it!

    Other greats page builders worth of mention and can be categorized in “parent themes + page builders” are Layers by Obox Themes and UpFront by WPMUDEV.

    Layers is FREE and Open Source, and have fully support for WP Customizer, meaning it integrates nicely with WP UI and you can use and create widgets, has a great documentation and a growing community.

    UpFront, I’ve tested, and for me is like to Wix, ensuring a lot of freedom to the user, which is not always good, depending on your customers.

    Thrive Content Builder (TCB) is also very good and easy to use and loads fast.

    I’ve built some sites with Divi and while a very good theme & builder, learning curve is fairly high. The new 2.4 release looks awesome and may eliminate some of the CSS coding required for most Divi sites.

    I’ve also used Ultimatum theme – similar to Divi, a little easier IMHO. Ultimatum & Microthemer (CSS coder) is a good combo.

    Will have to try Beaver Builder after all the rave reviews. Thanks for the post!

    Hate to rain on everyone’s parade, but page builders are notorious for generating horrible code in the source. They often have high learning curves for a typical user, as well they can create visual nightmares if you disable them (at least the ones I’ve tried in the past). I’ve even tested themes from Theme Forest that depend on Visual Composer, and the site was a complete mess when I changed themes to test that option.

    In my opinion, they cause more headaches than not.

    Another thing I love about Beaver Builder is that if I decided to deactivate the plugin, it won’t leave ugly shortcodes all over my website, unlike some other page builders.

      What remains if you deactivate the plugin?

        Hi Zimbrul! If you disable Beaver Builder all of your text and image content gets ported back into the WordPress editor. Our buddy Jonathan from Sure Fire Web Services made a video that shows this feature in action:

    Beaver Builder’s Standard license is $99 for unlimited sites (not single site; they are really kind), and they have the free lite version on the WordPress plugin repository.

      Hi Almazia. Just to make your message complete: the free version of the Beaver Builder plugin actually beats the Page Builder by Site Origin as you can use any widget with Beaver Builder too. But unlike the Site Origin’s one you have the comfort of front-end editing!

        I cut my teeth on Genesis with my own sites, Now I’m thinking of switching to designing client’s sites with page builders. So many people want to feel like they have control and can change things if they want.

        I actually took SiteOrigin’s PageBuilder out for a test drive recently and once I got the hang of it and overcame a few issues, liked it. But I never thought about front-end editing vs. backend. So now I’m going to spend the weekend playing with both the Beaver Builder lite and Layers.

        I do have a few questions for the Beaver Builder lite gurus. I am pretty comfortable with html and css. I also can tinker with php in the Genesis theme. Do you think someone with my level of coding skills needs the premium Beaver Builder or would the lite do? Also, I just checked out a site that says Beaver Builder doesn’t do headers and footers?! That makes no sense to me. Could someone explain that for me?

        Thanks

    Interesting articles to discover other builders… but not to forget about Visual Composer, and the Elegant Themes’ builder which is already built-in Divi theme (and will be released as a standalone builder plugin soon). They both are Grade A builders, and nope, they’re not free.

      I was surprised that Visual Composer wasn’t part of this review of WordPress page builders. It gets a 4.87 star rating out of 5 on CodeCanyon. There are also tons of add-ons available for it.

        Not only is Visual Composer Class A and beats the others hands down in this article, one of the neatest factors is that there are so many addons that make styling your site so sweet. One of the best is Ultimate Addons for VC. I have used VC and numerous addons for my development site and am extremely satisfied. A glaring omission by the author of this article.

          Upthread another commenter (@Nemrah July.8 @ 1:09p) mentioned that Visual Composer is “not that good for page loading.” Presumably it injects so much extra and/or inefficient HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to do its thing, and/or the JavaScript requires so much extra overhead at page load time, and/or the PHP and/or SQL involved is slow and inefficient, that while it may be easy to use and produce nice-looking page designs, it really slows things down enough to turn off users and perhaps even generate server and/or timeout errors under heavy load.

          @Editorial Staff replied on Jul. 9 @ 7:23a: “Agreed. One of the reasons why we didn’t include it in this list.”

          So, it wasn’t an oversight. It simply didn’t make the cut. This is supposed to be a comparative review of the best page builders, not all page builders, and apparently Visual Composer just wasn’t considered one of the best for this reason. Doesn’t matter how many features it has: if it bogs down page loading, it’s not considered usable, let alone one of the best.

          Perhaps if they were to go over their code and run it through performance analyzers such as YSlow and make the necessary optimizations, then it could make the cut.

          Just curious – I have purchased VC – but I’m so used to using Avada & Enfold – or other themes with their own built in page builders – that I’m unsure of how to choose a theme for using V. C I’m used to using premium themes with top-notch support ratings – so if you have any advice to give on a theme with great support that doesn’t have a page builder and is known for great support I’d appreciate that very much! Thanks!

          @Mark – I always say consider the source. CodeCanyon is frequented by buyers of a mostly clueless nature (read: the majority – not everyone there) so it’s not really a surprise why the rating is high.

          VC works for them and that’s really all they know or care about. There’s of course much more to a recommendation than that. VC doesn’t deserve a place in this list and when you’ve gotten more experience with WP you’ll hopefully realize why.

          Use what works for you or not. Take the advice of those more experienced than you or not. Ratings are meaningless though if sourced from mostly inexperienced users. That’s why articles like this can be helpful to opening people’s eyes and making them rethink their choice or not.

        I love Visual Composer and was also surprised it isn’t on here. Beaver Builder is nice too. I’m not a fan of the Divi theme builder.

      Used the Divi theme, and it definitely has a steep learning curve. They make up for some of it with the preloaded templates, but it’s no where near the flexibility that BeaverBuilder offers.

    Hi,
    thanks for this really nice article.
    To my mind a 100 dollars for a single site licence is huge when you have a premium whole theme for 50, no? I’d say that the licence could cover up to 5 sites for ex. Nevertheless I’m sure that the quality is optimal and not doubt at all about this is must have type of tools for non advanced developers.

    One you do not cover is visual composer.
    Do you have an opinion on that one?

    Thanks.

    PS: All that say respectfully about beaver builder I’m quite convinced to try by now at the next occasion

      Beaver Builder starts at $100 per year for unlimited sites. Check out the BB pricing here https://www.wpbeaverbuilder.com/pricing/

      It would be nice if the article was updated:)

    Just a quick note about Beaver Builder. Not only are they the best on the market (subjective of course!), but their support is second to none — which is really valuable when it comes to client projects.

    What about the Visual Composer on Code Canyon? I’ve used all of these except for Themify and I’d have to agree that Beaver Builder is great, but Visual Composer is just as good and it’s only like $30.00.
