Guest Post Series: Everything You Always Wanted To Know About PageBuilders (But Were Afraid to Ask)

InceptionHosting

Both @Ympker and @vyas have been working on a HUGE series of posts about page builders and graciously offered them as content for the LESB site, the first of which has been posted today: https://lowendspirit.com/everything-you-always-wanted-to-know-about-pagebuilders-but-were-afraid-to-ask

All posts on the main site have hidden equivalent posts on the forum and because these guys have put so much time into this I thought it would be good to increase engagement and increase recognition for their work so here is the forum link to part 1: https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/1135/everything-you-always-wanted-to-know-about-pagebuilders-but-were-afraid-to-ask

Any comments made on that post will also show on the main blog post on the LESB site.

I will post the forum links here to the next parts daily as they are posted.

Ympker

Thanks, Ant

Ahh, but where are the best free ones, for the perennially skint?

Shh..Boss, Mobirise is free (and included in the series)

Great work @Ympker and @vyas. Looking forward to the next chapters.

I have particular interest in which one would be a better fit to use with alternative CMS's like Grav.

Last one I used was FrontPage. ;-P

Lol there is a list of cough free pagebuilders in more than one post, and resources section in the last post. Patience is the key

"Mobirise is a free offline app for Windows and Mac". Well that rules that out.
Still haven't spotted a decent freebie one (that is able to do more than one page), other than the OK but quirky PageKit that I've got my missus using.
I remember the days of Coffee cup HTML and other offline editors (MS/Adobe bloatware) but now an online webpage builder seems much more appropriate for some reason.

Is Pagekit still under active development? I thought one of the contributors had a falling out...

I had liked Pagekit, Publii is quit similar

What do you mean by "more than one page"? You can create multiple pages with Mobirise.

Subsequent sentences don't relate to this one. I ain't a Windoze/Dirty Mac luser.

The markdown is kinda broken?

Thanks for the heads up... I think the LESBlog (Grav) reads markdown differently than Vanilla.
This is the view for the same post in Vanilla:

Not sure what is the fix. Thanks

Maybe you can't put markdown inside the spoiler since other image load correctly? It also happens in part 2.

InceptionHosting

fixed.
