Is there an uncomplicated way around it?

Earnie R, thanks for mentioning these options. We purchased Beaver Builder for our business and we have not been able to get a simple blog up in 3 weeks of long days and nights on it. It has cost us an awful lot in time. It’s been a disappointing…. and very frustrating…. experience for us.
However, a business owner/friend recently purchased the same Beaver Builder package and he swears it is the BEST thing to ever come along.
At the end of the day, there is still room in the market for someone to develop a new competitor. I’m one who is shopping for it.

Beaver Builder has not worked out for my situation. Actually, it has been a nightmare to set up and get running on a simple blog. It’s not for everyone, which does underscore that developers should be encouraged that the market is open to other options.

hi dear still you think its best as DIVI3.0 is quite good i need good advice to start with please advise

Thanks

Thanks for an informative article!

I am preparing to switch from my 3.8 version of Headway Themes and simplify my over-complicated site. I think Beaver Bulider fits the bill! As a not-super-technical WP user I think this will be a great solution for me. I also use WP Easy cart as my shop plugin (which I love).
I’m confused, however, about the plugin vs the theme. If I purchase the BB plugin how best to select a theme to use with it? Would a basic WP theme (like 2016 work?) Do you have a set of criteria you use when selecting a theme?

Regarding the BB theme: As a single user/single site artist I’m not sure purchasing the theme +plugin at $199/year makes sense: it might be overkill for someone like me.

I would appreciate your thoughts – and thanks again for an informative article!
I’m looking forward to simplifying my site with Beaver Builder!

Hi Michele!

I can’t really comment on the new Divi Builder plugin, as it’s not something I’ve used just yet. Based on my experience with the old Divi Builder that comes with the Divi Theme, I find Beaver Builder to be much more light-weight. It doesn’t feel as sluggish if that makes any sense.

However it has been more than a year since I last used Divi, so I imagine a lot has changed since then.

I just want to add my 2 cents.

I am a customer of Beaver Builder and have been using their framework to build my website. Right now there is nothing out there that is better in my opinion. I am absolutely in awe at the ease and simplicity. Even my clients love using it to update their websites.

You’re very welcome Bobby!

I can’t wait to see what the new template designs and theme presets look like. I find these to be some of the most useful options when I’m after something simple. It’s so much easier to customize something that’s already half-built too! So excited!
