WordPress website builders
WordPress originally started out as an engine for blogging, then because of its simplicity, flexibility and clarity has gained popularity and it began to be used for other purposes. Now, apart from blogs, it is used to make a landing page, online shops, news portals and corporate websites. Its flexibility is ensured by a large number of plugins for all occasions, with which you can create a very different functionality on the site.
Constructors – the next step in the development of WordPress.
One of the further lines of development of WordPress is the creation of page builders, on the basis of which you can build a page, even a fairly complex design. Elementor, Divi Builder, Oxygen, Beaver Builder – these are just the most popular of them, in fact there are dozens of them. That the main development is going in this direction is confirmed by WordPress itself, which released Gutenberg as the basis of a text editor, but it is still very much inferior in functionality to existing commercial constructors.
Advantages of constructors:
Easy and quick to get started. You can quickly mold a design without knowledge of HTML and CSS, although they will be useful. You can create different templates from ready-made ones.
The speed of development increases. You can quickly build a page with an arbitrary design.
Disadvantages of designers:
Each designer has its own characteristics to work with it confidently it is necessary to study it deeply. If you have to make changes, the task can be from very simple to large – it depends on the imagination and skill of the previous developer.
Generate complex and redundant code. There are designers who generate clean, simple and readable code – like Canvas, but its capabilities are severely curtailed and closer to Gutenberg.
This results in long page load times and you need a better hosting service, which is likely to be more expensive. Also need a complex system of caching at the site and on site hosting.
If the functionality is not included in the system designer, we have to write it out, and it will be harder than to write it out in WordPress.
Some moments of technical seo need to be bypassed with sophisticated tricks
In terms of technology, we have gone through all the stages of creating pages for WordPress – layout – using builders (Divi) – creating our own themes.
The benefits of having your own theme created just for your site.
Clean, clear code without extra stuff that loads quickly.
Intuitive interface works without any hidden fields and settings. Everything you need to work with the page is on this page.
