• Firstly, I’m a developer. I can build anything and everything I’ve been asked to build so far (so good). However, some things fall under the “why re-invent the wheel” theory, and page builders and front-end editors, which I was quite sceptical of before this, falls under the “can’t be bothered to build myself” as they can be quite complex things to get right. Instead I decided to check a bunch of them out, both from a client perspective, but also as I have a couple of blogs where I want to “just blog” and add content (as opposed to tweak and develop, which I easily fall in to otherwise). So I encountered PBS in my testing.

    PageBuilderSandwich has made me really impressed with how natural it feels to edit in the front-end. Place your cursor: type. That’s it! The “no pop-ups” benefit of the PBS “marketing speak” became clear when I tested the other builders in parallell: the eternal pop-ups, with lots of options, often got in my way of actually adding content on the screen when I felt inspired to type, and those pop-ups never had the correct styling anyways, so it was still hit-and-miss. Not so with PBS. It “just works”, and in a great way too.

    I have always been a bit sceptical about the raving WP plugin reviews too, where someone inevitably claim they will purchase the Pro version of the plugin (and I’m never sure if they are part of the dev team or not), but hey, I shall stop being overly sceptical, as that is exactly what I’ll do with PBS, come salary, so this is one of those reviews where “old me” would be sceptical of. The benefit here for you though is that you can try the free version and it will have cost you nothing. Try it, see for yourself. I bet you’ll love it.
