    I’ve found that when I’m considering page builders to make it easier on the clients to create and curate content, I am drawn to front-end editing capability. This is being discussed elsewhere but the Dashboard itself is a big hurdle to a lot of users and the ability to edit the page in place is a big deal.

    CPT’s are for unique content type

    Editus is okay, it’s simple, and theoretically extendable but I haven’t used it in production yet. I am hoping when the REST API is added to Core we will see the Customizer will become my dream front end editor

  19. Bridget Willard Avatar

    @briannaorg Oh wow.

  20. Roy Sivan Avatar

    @briannaorg REST API is in core

  21. Roy Sivan Avatar

    there are also front end editors. VC has one.. not sure if Beaver Builder has one

  22. Brianna Privett Avatar

    VC does have one, I think it is fairly ugly – it’s a tough job

    and I do like it. It’s a little buggy, but it’s simple

  26. Roy Sivan Avatar

    didn’t like it?

  27. Brianna Privett Avatar

    Lasso rebranded as Editus

  28. Roy Sivan Avatar

    there was umm.. Lasso?

  29. Brianna Privett Avatar

    a good front end editor has to stay out of the way

  30. Roy Sivan Avatar

    you DEF don’t stay what it stands for

  31. Bridget Willard Avatar

  35. James M Avatar

  36. Roy Sivan Avatar
