So true, I have seen total beginners create nice looking pages with the tools you've mentioned, but if they stay in it for the long haul they find themselves limited by these tools - after which they either gain the technical skills required and move away from the page-builder or hire a dev. That's why I personally won't use such tools. They make it quicker to begin with, but I'll inevitably find myself fighting against the tool.
- mamurphy 8y agoWhat kind of beginners? If someone wants to make websites for a living, of course they need to get the skills. If they just want one website, those tools are often enough.
- iliketosleep 8y agoI'm not referring to individuals who wants to make money as a web devs. What I'm referring to is the entrepreneur who lacks technical skills but is able to put up a nice little website using page-builders, and after a while wants to take it further and add features not supported by the page-builder.
- puranjay 8y agoI used Elementor for a recent site but it churns out such bloated code that I was worried my performance was taking a hit. Ended up writing everything from scratch in HTML and site performance has improved by 25%+ It's not a dealbreaker for most businesses but when you're competing on SEO, these little things matter
