If you're frustrated by your WordPress theme's limitations, you don't know to or don't want to write custom code, or you want a lot more flexibility in your website, you might want to consider a page-builder plugin for WordPress.
- You don’t have to know HTML, CSS, PHP, or JavaScript to design your own webpages
- A page-builder makes web-design fast with WYSIWYG drag-and-drop editing
- A good page-builder can be used anywhere on your site
- A page-builder lets you build sections and pages “in your own image”
- Page-builders will probably someday integrate directly into the Gutenberg editor
Tips for using a WordPress page-builder
- Ensure your theme is compatible
- Use a page-builder only when you need more than Gutenberg can offer
- Avoid page-builders for full post content
- Use global styles over single styles whenever possible
- Look for free or premium add-ons to extend your chosen builder
