WordPress has always been one of the most practical tools for creating and maintaining a website. And nowadays it gives many new opportunities for a broader range of users. For instance, WordPress drag-and-drop page builders allow users to customize the WordPress website without editing a single line of code. Such plugins are easy to use – you just have to edit the layout by adding, removing, and replacing elements as if you were working in a simple and intuitive photo editor software.
When you are purchasing a WordPress theme for your website, in most cases it features several layouts you can choose from. It’s pretty smart and practical to have those because, in many cases, standard layouts may perfectly fit the concept of your website, and there will be no need for editing. However, what if you need to make adjustments from time to time, and you want to experiment with new widgets and features? Well, then you will need at least a basic knowledge of HTML5 and CSS languages to customize your website, unless you have already installed one of the following WordPress builders that allow you to make changes fast and easy.
1. Beaver Builder
This is one of the most popular WordPress drag-and-drop plugins ever. Beaver Builder is pretty intuitive and easy to learn: you just press on the element you want to customize, and all options will be instantly highlighted. To move the elements or replace them, you need to drag them across the layout, and all the changes will be applied in real-time.
Beaver Builder supports the most popular modules like carousel, a wide range of sliders, buttons, widgets, content blocks, etc. When you are purchasing a standard edition of the program, you also get 30 free website templates designed for different kinds of websites. Beaver Builder is extremely user-friendly: the program also features a fast and easy tutorial for beginners. It’s absolutely compatible with all WordPress versions, including the latest one. We consider Beaver Builder one of the easiest and the most comprehensive drag-and-drop builders on the market.
Price: $99+
2. Divi
Divi builder is another fast and straightforward editor that is ideal for beginners. It features 20 readymade customizable templates designed for different types of websites. Initially, the Divi builder evolved from a popular Divi WordPress theme. Still, the plugin works great with any other WordPress theme as well. The theme comes with 46 modules that can be arranged in sections or rows. There are three variants for sections and 20 for rows. Naturally, Divi allows you to make all the adjustments in real-time, so that you can experiment with layouts and features as much as you want.
Price: starting from $89 (per year)
3. Elementor
Elementor is also one of the most popular drag-and-drop editors for WordPress that does not require any special coding skills and knowledge and allows you to build, rebuild, and customize your WordPress website in real-time mode. In our opinion, Elementor has many common traits with the builder programs mentioned above. Still, we found its interface and controls a little bit less intuitive and practical, then the control and navigation panels featured in Beaver Builder and Divi. Steel, Elementor features a vast and diverse collection of interchangeable widgets, features, layouts, social media and tabs, which is a great advantage. Apart from it, the Elementor price is pretty low!
