    I use the bootstrap framework to design my layouts in WP. I feel like I have more control but I also feel like I'm 'waisting' time when I could be learning how to use a page builder plugin instead.

    Which do you think is better? Bootstrap or a page builder? Which page builder plugin do you recommend I should learn?

    Thanks in advance

    • Beaverbuilder is well put together. Visual composer is the most popular. Either way , your understanding of bootstrap will help learn them much faster.T-Dawg
    • I find when clients come back with modifications it's much faster to make changes on bootstrap templates. But try one out (both come with free versions I think)T-Dawg
    • thanks t-dawg. Have you found they have limitations or no?hotroddy
    • They're pretty expansive with what you can do. I work in both code and page builders, depending on the project. Best way to see if it's for you is to try oneT-Dawg
    • There are some page builders out there that I've had to work with that are abhorrent. The two mentioned above are my favorites.T-Dawg
    • I suggest just poking around in the free versions of each for 10 mins. I think you'll get a better idea to whether they'll suit your needs.T-Dawg
    • thanks for the sound advice!hotroddy
    • learn the pagebuilder whats closes to bootstrap, ways easier to understand the layout management and develop into that. (i used visual composer back then)sted
    • Thanks Sted. Found a BootStrap PB. Their tag line is, "The main goal is to give you wings, without glueing them to you." Love ithotroddy
