Page builders make it easy to design right inside WordPress — drag, drop, tweak, repeat. I did that for years. It felt fast. It felt efficient. And it felt like the “modern” way to build sites.
But I don't think it's actually the right approach.

It's funny, I watch a lot of content creators that are into Webflow or Framer or React and Tailwind.
In their bubble, no one uses WordPress anymore (and if you do, you'd be kinda ashamed to admit it).
But, according to Cloudflare, WordPress is in an entirely different league than these platforms.
