WordPress page builders

  • July 31, 2019

Over the course of several years, I dedicated considerable time to searching for and evaluating various page builders for WordPress. My experience spans across well-known tools such as Visual Composer, Beaver Builder, Elementor, and numerous page-builder-like themes, including Avada. Each tool had its strengths, but none fully met the demanding requirements of commercial projects where reliability, maintainability, and performance are paramount.

The turning point came when I discovered the combination of the Neve Pro theme and Elementor Pro page builder. This pairing finally provided the robust and flexible solution I had been seeking—one that could effectively rival the custom-built WordPress themes, especially for smaller projects. The synergy between Neve Pro’s lightweight, performance-oriented framework and Elementor Pro’s intuitive design capabilities offered the perfect balance of functionality and ease of use.

To thoroughly evaluate this solution, I experimented by building two personal websites using Elementor. Both sites consistently achieved over 90% across all metrics on Google PageSpeed Insights, demonstrating the platform’s ability to deliver high-performance websites. I maintained these sites for over 12 months, and during this period, I was impressed with their strong organic search performance and the minimal effort required for ongoing maintenance and updates. This experience confirmed that I had finally found a solution that met my high standards for delivering smaller, straightforward brochureware sites within an agency setting.

In terms of cost, Neve Pro is priced at $69 per year, while Elementor Pro costs $59 per year for a single site, with agency licenses available for both. This investment offers excellent value, providing the tools needed to create professional, high-performing websites that satisfy both client expectations and industry standards.
