WordPress Page Builders
WordPress page builders replace or extend the block editor so pages, headers, footers and theme templates can be designed visually while the site stays on ordinary WordPress hosting. Freelancers and agencies building client sites are the core users. The first divide is architecture: plugins that add their own editor over a theme, full theme builders that control every template, and block libraries that extend Gutenberg rather than replace it. Code output is the second, because heavy markup and scripts show up in Core Web Vitals, and some builders leave shortcodes behind when deactivated. Licensing is the third, since per-site yearly plans and unlimited or lifetime licenses add up very differently for an agency running dozens of sites. Elementor, Bricks Builder, Divi and Kadence sit at different points on all three.
