Wow, awesome plugin that’s easy to learn and use, plus above and beyond support

To start up – WOW!

I’ve always been a proud WordPress website builder and for the most part I have resisted the use of page builders … not any more, how stupid was I ??

While I am happy to delve deep into the WordPress plugins/widgets code, develop my own themes and just get down and dirty developing sites which by the way I love doing, the owner of the site isn’t, for example Wifey.

I, and I know 1000’s of others have to do a fair amount of post web site support which is fine (and I mean just user errors with page/post editing), especially if its your main source of income. However that can become quite demanding and other projects can often be delayed.

As I said above I have resisted page builders by dismissing them as newbie tools, never really looking at what they can actually offer.

Then come a rebuild of wifey’s website, I had to make it easier for her to manage and update. Wifey was competent to do much of her website editing herself, however there were often times where Wifey had issues, for example layout of her content within the WP editor and then on the live front end, it was often a real pain in the … you know what for her. That was after adding plugins to help like TinyMCE Advanced, Just TinyMCE styles and other editor assistance plugins. I’d often hear her grumble in the background only to find there is an issue with her page editing and getting it to look ‘exactly’ like what she wanted and can visualise.

So I had to look for a better solution … This time I had to make sure EVERY element of the site content is 100% manageable by her at anytime and anywhere. I started by looking at my options – many … many of them. It HAD TO be easily usable and 99% support free.

I decided (after a lot of testing all other similar tools) then to go with SiteOrigin as it was the most complete and versatile solution in my opinion for what I needed.

So I created a test site with SiteOrigin and that changed my whole view on site builder solutions.

So I set about rebuilding wifey’s web site with SiteOrigin. By additionally getting the premium add-ons, everything wifey needed (with a couple of more specific plugins) was there. The best part is I could turn on only the widgets required so it was easy to use and not be confusing with too many options.

WOW! What a difference this has made. Our plugin installs have gone from 19 down to 7 (the SiteOrigin plugins counting as a group of 1). Her new site load times have gone from fast to OMG! (we have our own VPS)

Wifey is ecstatic and I have yet to hear her grumble at the new site. Her ability to control layouts page by page has been such a great feature that I was simply asked why didn’t I use this before – chuckle ??

So if you are considering a Site Builder plugin, give this one a serious consideration, you will be pleased with it as much as I am.

BTW I can still get down and dirty with developing suitable themes for sites needing them. BTW SiteOrigin has themes available too ??

Just when you think I am done, wait there is more … if you need support as a premium addon user – that support is amazing and awesome with quick responses that are helpful. This is on par or better than my other ‘awesome plugins’ list (see my other reviews) ??

So what are you waiting for? Do it and do it now …
