Page Builder by SiteOrigin


Despite using the block editor on any (new) website, I'm still using SiteOrigin's on 3 customers pages (since 8+ years) …



The developers have done a very good job in developing a clean, easily usable and esp. non-techy-user-friendly editor. Like others (i.e. Elementor), this editor is not bloated, just works (never had any problems) and has a very good feature set.


"Legacy", but very good

Build responsive page layouts using the widgets you know and love using this simple drag and drop page builder.
