Debate with Nathan Wrigley and David Waumsley

Setting up the Debate

When setting up this debate series we naturally got asked to compare one page builder against another. A great topic, but tricky for us as we both use the same page builder and know it best. As people are passionate about their brands and we don’t want to fuel divisions because of our ignorance.

Instead, we thought we would probably talk about the major players within this debate... about whether we as generalists (who deliver whole sites alone - mostly)  are better off learning some basic code skills or not. This could have an influence over which tools we prefer in WordPress.

We might disagree which software falls into which category, but..

Some lean more toward being an all-in-one solution for the wider non-coder market

Others have a coding audience in mind, or at least people who want to put their solution together with their own choice of plugins

Coding - David

No coding - Nathan

Final thoughts

On the whole, we're lucky with the tools we've picked. We took wrong turns, looking at Megathemes to do things quickly. It was a false economy for us when we wanted one thing different to the scores of options they gave us. It took twice as long! Since then, we have preferred simple layouts that we can add to.
