As soon as Best4u a Wordpress Once the website has been developed for you, our hosting & support department can continue to assist you whenever you prefer. However, from that moment on, you are the one in charge of designing new pages, using either a standard page builder or Gutenberg. If you have your webshop built by Best4u, you receive a website with Gutenberg as standard. It is often mistakenly thought that a page builder and Gutenberg are identical, but there are indeed differences between the two options. In this blog, Best4u highlights the differences between a page builder and Gutenberg for you!
Standard
The first thing worth knowing about Gutenberg is that it is built in by default for every entrepreneur who gets a WordPress website. That is to say: if you want a page builder, you need to install a plugin. The risk associated with this is that it might not integrate perfectly with WordPress. You don't have to worry about that with Gutenberg, because the latest versions are always thoroughly tested.
Speed
The many options within page builders also come with a major disadvantage: speed. This is lost because a lot of (unnecessary) code is introduced. You don't have to worry about this with Gutenberg, as it has been kept simple yet powerful. Consequently, all blocks work independently of one another without requiring too much effort.
Live edits
Do you find it annoying that you cannot immediately see the effect of your changes? If you choose a page builder, you can see the updates you are making directly in the live environment without having to call up a preview. This saves a lot of time!
Design
With Gutenberg, you have a number of design options. Are you thinking about expanding the Gutenberg editor? Then you can add these in CSS. Since it is not particularly easy for a layperson, if you want to take the next step with a Gutenberg editor, you need to start tinkering in CSS. Not particularly easy if you have little technical knowledge. If you would like to call upon this, Best4u can help you. Page builders often come pre-loaded with fonts, font sizes, etc.
