Beaver Builder
A WordPress builder that leaves clean markup
Beaver Builder is the WordPress page builder chosen by people who care what happens when it is switched off: content stays as ordinary WordPress content rather than collapsing into shortcodes. Licences are annual and cover unlimited sites from the second tier. The white-label option lets an agency hand a site over without its own tooling being visible. The template library is smaller than the flashier builders, which is the trade for the markup being sane.
Our note
Choose this over Divi or Elementor when the site may outlive your involvement with it, because the shortcode lock-in is the thing that hurts a client two years later. If nobody will ever migrate the site, the cheaper unlimited licences elsewhere are the better arithmetic.
Durable
A site generated from a sentence about the business
Durable generates a working site from a short description of the business, which is aimed squarely at a tradesperson or solo operator who needs a presence today and will not be maintaining one. An invoicing tool and a CRM sit beside the builder. The free tier publishes on a subdomain with monthly caps on generated images and AI chat. Anybody with a design in mind will be fighting a generator rather than using a builder.
