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.
Elegant Themes
Divi, on a licence for unlimited sites
Elegant Themes sells Divi, a WordPress page builder whose licence covers unlimited sites rather than counting them, which is why it has stayed in agencies for a decade. The visual editor works on the front end, so layout changes are made on the page rather than in a preview. A large marketplace of child themes and layouts sits beside it. Divi generates its own markup, and moving a site off it later means rebuilding, which is the cost nobody prices in at the start.
