So, you’ve decided to launch a website for your business and service. A reasonable, rational, smart choice in today’s world, powered by online traffic and e-commerce. Good for you!
“If you build it, they will come”, says the famous quote by Kevin Costner from “Field of dreams” and indeed you first must build it! But how do you even start?
The real question when it comes to website creation is how you build it – using what generator, software, or builder. If you already chose WordPress as your desired form of template and site, great choice, it’s now the time to decide the method to build it. Let’s take you step by step on your way to make a crucial decision for your future website.
What Elements Do You Need to Review and Compare Before You Start?
The market is flooded with options, we’ll help you narrow it to the WP page builder of your choice that will serve you best. Let’s compare elements on the sites so we can reach the ultimate choice for you.
What Elements Are We Comparing?
- Design: Adding great style to your website increases traffic and attracts an audience. We will compare the options each builder provides.
- User-friendly interface: If it’s easy to use, building your website won’t become a tedious, dreadful process. We will compare the interface way of work to see how user-friendly it really is.
- Templates: We will compare what template options are included, what are the choices that you receive with the WP builder.
Design:
When you compare Visual Composer to Brizy and Elementor, the design options are lacking – with fewer choices of styling.
Elementor, on the other hand, is known to be a superb design force with tons of styles, custom backgrounds, fonts, colors, and even advanced CSS styles, definitely, a strength, making this builder a leading competition in the design category.
Brizy is not half as diverse for styling as Elementor because of the way its interface operates. You can use the sidebar for minor changes of responsive controls and a few more features – but it’s not as user-friendly as Elementor.
Templates:
Brizy is the newest builder of the bunch and offers only a couple of tens of templates with 150 blocks (parts of templates) to be used.
Visual Composer has about 90 templates, not all complete – some templates are parts of pages and some are complete pages.
The Elementor Pro has got by far the most of all the builders – hundreds and hundreds of templates, some you can create by yourself and save for future use! Some are complete designs and some just blocks that are part of the overall design, while you can receive about 50 templates if you use the free version.
Interface:
Elementor has gained instant fame due to its easy-to-use interface that swept hundreds of thousands of users to join the relatively-new WP builder that was launched in 2016 – and received raving reviews, also for its ease of use with a split-screen interface.
The even newer WP builder, Brizy, launched in April of 2018 with a front-end visual page builder that is different than Elementor and built block by block.
Compared to those two, Visual Composer serves you with both back-end and front-end editing options. Note: Visual Composer does not have a sidebar, only pop-ups for navigating through the interface, a method not all are fond of.
Comparing WP builders is an extremely individual process – each designer, client, or website builder works differently — and everyone has different needs.
We suggest that before choosing your favorite one to use, define your goals and wishes for the website, then proceed to your choice of builder. Whichever you end up choosing, we hope it will benefit your business, service, or blog to the fullest!
