[Hidden-tech] Looking for WordPress Visual Composer expertise

[GLP]

Lots of thoughts here. Most of them angry and frustrated. I've found no ideal solution. I would find out what they actually mean by "edit a new WP site with a SquareSpace-style interface of pre-defined widgets". Chances are, VC would be overwhelming. It is definitely not SquareSpace-like in practical usage. I have opted for Page Builder or Divi. PB is occasionally buggy and has its drawbacks, while Divi is maddeningly and surprisingly developer-unfriendly. One of the main advantages of PB is that you can move content back into the default WP editor free of crazy shortcodes. Beaver Builder might also be worth a look.
