Slightly off-topic:
I was trying to explain to a client why page builders (WP Bakery Visual Composer in this case) are utter shit. This is what I came up with.
These things mix up content and presentation. When I build a WP site, I want my client to focus on the content; that's going to be their job. I don't want them thinking about the design/presentation of their content; that's my job.
But these page builder plugins put all of this presentation bullshit right in the area for the content. Fuck off. That's not where that goes.
- God I agree - few clients could handle Visual Composer without some serious training anyway - it's full of quirks.
But yes - ACF should do what most clientsfadein11 - need.fadein11
- Visual Composer is seriously handy for building quite complex layouts on smaller budgets. I would never let them use it though.fadein11
- curious (noob), why would a client care if you use a page builder or not?Gnash
- ^ nope its when they try to use it to update their site - you have way too much design control with those tools - better sticking to ACF and standard wordpressfadein11
- so they don't destroy the design in seconds (like ALL clients seem to love doing).fadein11
- I get it now :)Gnash
