Gutenberg has been out for over a year and the turf is very active for all the builders for WordPress. There are now several builders to choose from including the one built into WordPress core.
In this session, we will explore several of the builders including Gutenberg, Divi, Elementor, Cornerstone, Beaver Builder and Brizzy and more. We will explore how a builder can help your site and how it can also possibly hurt the site in terms of speed, and functionality. What the best builder for you might be and how to get the best resources for the builder you choose.
Page builders are not something new for WordPress. They have been around for a while, the first popular one being Divi first released in 2008. Most recently, 10 years later, WordPress core released its own type of page builder built right into WordPress called Gutenberg. In this WordCamp session completely online and available after the date on WordPress.tv, we will compare several page builders and choose a winner. The rounds of page builders include Divi, Beaver Builder, Elementor, and Gutenberg!
