Page builder or coded site?

The short answer

Builders trade performance and portability for editor convenience. Hand-coded lean builds win speed, security and cost of ownership; builders win when non-technical staff must rearrange layouts weekly.

How to actually decide

• How often does layout actually change - weekly or yearly?
• What does the weight tax cost you in buyers?
• Exit plan: builders rarely export cleanly.

What we recommend

This site is the coded argument: thousands of pages, a fraction of the usual weight. The trade is real both ways. Both sides of this comparison are builds we deliver - which is exactly why the recommendation above has no sales angle. Itemise your stack in the comparisons hub, or stack guidance.
