Ask HN: Are there any, good, website builders out there?

[floppydisken]

In the name of getting stuff done, presumably a website builder would be the go-to tool to quickly create and edit websites.

Having had opportunity to work with Elementor, Divi and atm. Subbly's website builder I've not been impressed yet. It honestly seems stupidly difficult to not constantly bud heads with the builder.

Have any of you found good website builders that beat building websites by hand?

I went back to Wordpress for my current project. It serves my need well enough, and the new block-based editor is actually very good.

I have considered using a static generator and/or writing by hand, but Wordpress is simply better since it saves my time to work on actual content.

And that is exactly what I'm looking for. We want to run all kinds of tests to verify our experiments, which is difficult if we need an actual developer every time.

Have you fiddled with custom blocks yet?

[truly → floppydisken]

I haven't, the builtin ones are good enough for my project.

Sounds interesting though to keep in mind.

I strongly dislike website builders as a rule, but Webflow is an exception. I’ve been very impressed with it.

What is it about Webflow that makes it "click"?

[carlgreene]

Webflow has been a great experience
