However, there are 5 that I think stand out from the pack.

This is why they can\u2019t be on this list for me.

I did a full <a href=\"https:\/\/addwp.com\/bluehost-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BlueHost review<\/a> about what they offer.

WordPress page builders have grown in popularity over the years. I have an entire post dedicated to WordPress Builders that you can check out. I don\u2019t want to repeat the whole list again here so I\u2019ll just cover my top three.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/go\/elementor\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-153 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Elementor-1-150x150.png\" alt=\"Elementor\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Elementor-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Elementor-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Elementor-1-20x20.png 20w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Elementor-1.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/go\/elementor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Elementor<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now, people get pretty worked up over which WordPress builder is the best. I\u2019ll be honest with you and say that a lot of it comes down to preference. I personally ranked Elementor high due to the fact that they seem to be doing much more on the development side, and doing it at a much faster rate than their competitors.

I\u2019ve been using it for many years. I still build websites with it, and honestly feel more comfortable using it than any other WordPress builder. However, it is a little bit bloated feeling at times. Overall, I highly recommend it, and you can learn more about why in my <a href=\"https:\/\/addwp.com\/divi-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Divi review<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/go\/brizy\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-498 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Brizy-150x150.png\" alt=\"Brizy\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Brizy-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Brizy-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Brizy.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/go\/brizy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brizy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Brizy might be one WordPress builder that you have never heard of before.

If that\u2019s the case be sure to check out my <a href=\"https:\/\/addwp.com\/brizy-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brizy review<\/a> to learn more about it. It\u2019s the newest of these builders on the block, and I feel like it will be one of the more popular WordPress builders in the near future.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WordPress_Themes\"><\/span>WordPress Themes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What WordPress resources list would be complete without recommending some WordPress themes? It\u2019s always going to be debatable which themes are the best out there. Again, this comes down to personal preference. However, the best thing about them is that you can usually get an idea of which one you like for free.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/go\/astra\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-210 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Astra-150x150.png\" alt=\"Astra\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Astra-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Astra-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Astra-20x20.png 20w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Astra.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/go\/astra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Astra<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve read a few of the WordPress builder posts on this site you may have noticed that I mentioned Astra from time to time. This is because Astra is awesome. Astra easily allows you to incorporate various builders with their theme. Additionally, they offer a free version you can try out. This free version comes with Astra starter sites, which help you to start websites quickly and easily.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/go\/oceanwp\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-212 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OceanWP-150x150.png\" alt=\"OceanWP\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OceanWP-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OceanWP-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OceanWP-20x20.png 20w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OceanWP.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/go\/oceanwp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">OceanWP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>OceanWP comes in just behind Astra on my list. In fact, you can\u2019t really go wrong with either option. The two options are very similar as they work well with various builders and have free theme options.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/go\/divi\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-159 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Elegant-Themes-Membership-150x150.png\" alt=\"Elegant Themes\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Elegant-Themes-Membership-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Elegant-Themes-Membership-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Elegant-Themes-Membership-20x20.png 20w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Elegant-Themes-Membership.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/go\/divi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Divi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now Divi is a little different than the other themes as it has a built in builder. The theme is part of the ElegantThemes club, and contains other themes and plugins in their membership as well. You get a ton of value with their membership, but Divi is the crown jewell.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/go\/generatepress\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-164 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/GeneratePress-150x150.png\" alt=\"GeneratePress\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/GeneratePress-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/GeneratePress-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/GeneratePress-20x20.png 20w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/GeneratePress.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/go\/generatepress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GeneratePress<\/a><\/p>\n<p>GeneratePress might be the most lightweight, and clean theme on this list.

It\u2019s certainly worth checking out if you\u2019re trying to make a clean looking blog.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpzoom.com\/?ref=45026\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-768 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Foodica-150x150.png\" alt=\"Foodica\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Foodica-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Foodica-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Foodica.png 500w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Foodica-360x360.png 360w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Foodica-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpzoom.com\/?ref=45026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Foodica<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This one is likely the least known of these on this list.

I hope you check out the tools below for yourself!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designevo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Design Evo<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designevo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-828 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Design-Evo-150x150.png\" alt=\"Design Evo\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Design-Evo-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Design-Evo-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Design-Evo.png 500w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Design-Evo-360x360.png 360w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Design-Evo-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Design Evo is an awesome logo maker. It comes with a free to use option as well as two paid options. When using the free option you need to make sure to give credit for the work. To be fully transparent, each of the images you&#8217;re seeing on this page I made with Design Evo in a matter of minutes. It&#8217;s a great tool that I highly recommend checking out for yourself!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Canva.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-829 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Canva-150x150.png\" alt=\"Canva\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Canva-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Canva-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Canva.png 500w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Canva-360x360.png 360w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Canva-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Canva<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In some ways Canva is similar to the above mentioned Design Evo. The biggest differences between each of these programs is that Canva has more pre-made designs. Canva also has pre-made layout sizes to build on for various social media images. This can be a big time saver when it comes to the design process. You can make a lot of great free designs with this tool.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unsplash.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-830 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unsplash-150x150.png\" alt=\"Unsplash\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unsplash-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unsplash-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unsplash.png 500w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unsplash-360x360.png 360w, https:\/\/www.addwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unsplash-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Unsplash is another free tool that I often use. They offer beautiful images that are free to use. When putting together mock websites for clients I tend to go here first when searching for a beautiful placeholder. Additionally, they have a wide variety of images that is hard to beat. My only suggestion would be to re-size them after you download them as they&#8217;re usually huge files.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Do you use any of the <em>WordPress resources<\/em> that I&#8217;ve mentioned in this post?
