Thrive Architect

Thrive Architect — part of the broader service of Thrive Themes, you can purchase Thrive Architect on its own and use it as a regular builder. However, it is at its best when you use it with its own Thrive Theme Builder and it opens your site up to being more powerful, dynamic and smarter at building websites that convert.

Thrive was made for funnels and conversion so using Thrive Leads (lead gen forms), Thrive Ultimatum (evergreen countdown clocks) and Thrive Apprentice (course builder) ups your game pretty fast and Architect is the builder that unites them all. You get used to the interface quite quickly.

Divi Builder

Perhaps one of the heavier page builders on this list and perhaps a little more of a learning curve with its interface, Divi comes with the Divi Theme as well to get you started. It's fairly easy to drag and drop and it does make it easy to copy and paste design settings to similar blocks. So make one change to a block, apply it to all the others with a click.

The color coding of sections is also handy.

Elementor Pro

Probably the most loved for WordPress web designers, Elementor has a ton of extensions (free and paid) with pre-made blocks for you to drag and drop. It offers more of design elements like rotating, flipping, and animation to text, containers, images and more.

There is a free version of Elementor with limited functionality, but good enough to get you going and upgrade when the time is right.

This demo is a fully designed Elementor Pro demo for the Elementor BTS in 2024 where you can watch every single step and decision I make to create a course-selling site in 7 weeks.

Beaver Builder

The little Beaver that could, this doesn't seem to get as much attention but is also a strong candidate.

There is a Theme that you can start with when you purchase Beaver Builder to help you get started with some pre-built blocks, which I always recommend.

Gutenberg Blocks

Gutenberg is the standard now for WordPress and is a screen you'll be familiar with. For the demo, instead of using WordPress' default Twenty Twenty Five theme, we're using the free version of KadenceWP.

There are a number of themes and designers now that use Gutenberg Blocks as its base. KadenceWP is one of them and with paid version you get more functionality and pre-built/designed blocks to use.

Gutenberg's come a long way and is quite different from any of the page builders above.
