Hi there,
Sending good weekend vibes to you all! So I am an Etsy seller, getting into WordPress and WooCommerce, I kind of want to become a little more independent. So I have been trying around with WordPress, watching tutorials, reading resources for weeks now. Some people suggest page builders. Some are highly opposed to them because of loading times and too much code?
Now, maybe could you give me a little help with figuring out the pros and cons of a page builder from the perspective of a WordPress beginner? Would it be more sustainable for the future to get into doing with or without a page builder? If you recommend a page builder, which one would you suggest I look into? If you don't use a page builder, do you have some advice for a beginner?
Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. Hope all of you have a great weekend. Also, since I guess this topic is controversial: I am really really sorry if it offends you in any way. I just want to understand it, and would love to hear both sides.
Like you said you’re an Etsy seller, meaning you’re not into deep tech and coding.
Indeed page builders is a sensitive topic in the WordPress community. But it totally depends what you want for your site. In your case, I’d recommend you use a page builder.
The problem comes when you go for those free and unreliable ones. Or you go for those bloated ones. They create trouble in the long run for your site.
I’d recommend [SeedProd](http://seedprod.com). It’s beginner friendly, doesn’t bloat your site, and makes it super easy to setup your store. The best part is their ready made site kits. I mean you’ll have everything even when you’re just starting it.
