When you’ve secured your HostArmada hosting, it’s time to think about utilizing it best. To fully exploit our infrastructure, you need a powerful, good-looking, and user-friendly website. However, these are not that easy to create. That’s why you need an easy-to-use, agile, and regularly maintained page builder. In this regard, Beaver Builder is, without a doubt, the best WordPress page builder. We are huge fans of its user-friendly dashboard, drag-and-drop building style, and the exciting variety of elements and features you can add, opening up a world of possibilities for your website.

So, let’s look closer at BeaverBuilder and why we recommend it to our users as the best supplement to our hosting services.

Easy-to-use

If we can say something about Beaver Builder without any doubt, it’s that the builder is effortless to work with. Even if you are a complete beginner who just saw a page builder for the first time, you will be able to instantly learn and build your own website. That’s the beauty of it. Beaver Builder is intuitive and uses a visual drag-and-drop interface. This allows users to build stunning websites without knowing anything about coding or website development.

When launching Beaver Builder, you’re greeted by a full-width preview and a simple toolbar. The clean, uncluttered interface allows users to focus on building their pages without distractions. Adding modules or templates is easy—just click the plus icon and drag elements into place. The platform also automatically creates new columns when needed, further simplifying layout creation.

Beaver Builder’s flexibility in organizing the workspace is another standout feature. Users can drag the settings panel to the screen’s margin and fix it in place, ensuring it’s always accessible while they work. You can also open a document outline to quickly select rows, columns, or modules, streamlining the design process.

Finally, the platform offers a small but very thoughtful touch. Beaver Builder supports dark mode. This reduces eye strain during prolonged sessions.

With these thoughtful features and a glitch-free editor, Beaver Builder is a user-friendly tool for both newbie designers and well-rounded developers. Still, the ease of use is far from the only feature that made us fall in love with Beaver Builder.

Customizable interface

Beaver Builder’s customizable interface is one of its standout features, offering users unparalleled flexibility. Unlike many other page builders, Beaver Builder allows you to tailor the layout according to your preferences. This customization begins with the settings panel, which can be easily dragged to either side of the screen and fixed in place. This feature ensures that essential tools are always within reach, enhancing productivity.

Switching back to a full-screen preview or using popup settings menus is just as effortless. This adaptability makes it simple to control your workspace. The ability to adjust layouts with minimal effort is another highlight. Dragging a module beside another one automatically creates a new column, streamlining the design process.

The drag-and-drop functionality extends to adjusting column widths, eliminating the need to open full settings for minor tweaks. This approach simplifies layout management, making it accessible even for beginners. The clean, clutter-free interface further enhances usability by allowing users to explore and experiment without feeling overwhelmed.

Highly responsive design

Now, it’s true that most builders already make the website responsive out-of-the-box. Still, Beaver Builders’ highly responsive design capabilities make it a standout choice for creating adaptable, professional websites. It automatically adjusts to any screen size, mandatory for good SEO results. But more importantly, Beaver Builder offers responsive editing modes that allow customization based on device type for those who want more control. Users can easily adjust font sizes and typography and even hide specific rows or modules on certain devices. This level of customization ensures that every element of your website is perfectly tailored to the screen it’s viewed on.

The tool also provides an accurate preview of how your design will look across different devices. This is crucial for making real-time adjustments without the guesswork. You can switch between desktop, tablet, and mobile views with just a click, allowing for a seamless editing experience.

One of the most impressive features is the ability to customize responsive breakpoints. This gives you even more flexibility in ensuring that your site performs well on various screen sizes.

Overall, Beaver Builder’s highly responsive design features provide users with both convenience and control, making it an excellent tool for creating websites that look great on any device.

Conditional Element Display

While everything mentioned above is great, the conditional element display is one of our favorite features. This adds an even higher level of customization and control over what your audience will see. It goes beyond the device and is about what you want to show a particular group.

This feature allows you to show content only to logged-in users. Or users in a specific country or area. This makes it perfect for both proper targeting and, of course, for membership websites. The best part is that it doesn’t need an additional third-party plugin.

This will streamline your web design efforts immensely. For example, if you want to create different messages for different audiences, all you need to do is hide particular blocks for one group and show them to another. For example, you can show a CTA button only to logged-in users.

The biggest strength of this feature is its simplicity and user-friendly design. Setting your rules doesn’t require coding skills; it’s just a matter of a few mouse clicks.

So many Templates

One of the most important things in web design for a novice user is having a starting point. Starting from scratch can be overwhelming, especially if you have no experience building a website.

That’s why Beaver Builder offers a vast library of landing pages and other content page templates that can cater to any need. These templates include key elements like hero sections, testimonials, pricing tables, and more, making it easier to build visually appealing pages without going through the toughest part of creating a website – its layout.

One of the standout features of Beaver Builder’s templates is their flexibility. Users can easily customize these templates to fit their specific requirements. Once you’ve tailored a template to your liking, you can save it for future use across other pages or even different projects. For example, if you offer various services, each one with its own landing page, you can reuse your first landing page and just change the content. This will save you significant time when designing and tweaking the layout to perfection. More importantly, it will create a sense of consistency within your website.

For beginners, Beaver Builder’s templates provide an excellent starting point, allowing them to produce professional-looking websites without extensive design experience. For more advanced users, creating, saving, and reusing custom templates adds a layer of efficiency and creativity to the design process. Overall, Beaver Builder’s templates are a key feature that enhances website creation’s speed and quality.

Theme Builder

The template library is not the only thing that will help you make your work more efficient. While the core Beaver Builder plugin is exceptional for designing individual pages and posts, the Theme Builder allows users to craft and control the entire website’s structure, including headers, footers, and archive pages.

The Beaver Themer is, however, only available for pro users, but it’s definitely worth the price. It allows ample customizations and even conditional application of templates. It’s a must-have for those trying to create a deeply personal experience for their users.

Additionally, the integration with plugins like Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and Toolset allows users to incorporate dynamic content into their designs. This makes it possible to create templates that automatically display specific content depending on the context.

Unfortunately, there is a small limitation, as the header and footer templates work only with a limited selection of themes. This restriction might be a drawback for users who prefer more theme flexibility. Despite this, the ability to inject custom design elements at different WordPress hook locations remains a valuable feature, especially for those who want to add call-to-action buttons, advertisements, or other elements seamlessly across the site.

CSS and Java Editor

Beaver Builder has also taken care of advanced users. When users go through the initial phase of using the available resources, they usually opt for even more customization through custom CSS and JS codes. Of course, Beaver Builder obliges with a dedicated editor. The editor itself is easy to use and offers basic validation and suggestions.

Of course, you need to know CSS and JS to utilize the editor. You can still only interact with the general layout; you can’t mess with the individual rows and modules.

Regardless, the CSS and JS Editor gives advanced users who have a particular vision for their websites a touch of independence.

Outstanding Performance

While any website builder will undoubtedly fly with HostArmada’s infrastructure behind its back, when it comes to performance, Beaver Builder stands out as one of the more efficient page builders. Indeed, just like any other page builder, Beaver Builder leaves a slight bump compared to the native WordPress block editor. Still, this overhead is negligible at worst as the builder leaves practically no footprint on the overall website performance.

Performance tests have shown that Beaver Builder introduces less “weight” than other popular builders like Elementor and Divi. This balance makes Beaver Builder a strong contender for those seeking a good mix of flexibility and speed in their website design.

Real-world feedback from users aligns with these findings. Many users report that Beaver Builder maintains excellent performance even as their websites grow and become more complex.

This shows that Beaver Builder, combined with HostArmada’s lightning-fast cloud hosting, is the best solution for fast, secure, and stunning websites.

Light vs Pro

If you are a beginner website builder and you only want to test Beaver Builder’s capabilities, it’s wise to start with the free version. Indeed, the pro version is where the true magic happens, but the light version will give you a good idea how the builder feels. Of course, there are some limitations to what you can do. For example, the light version lacks some integral basic modules like buttons, separators, and headings. You will definitely need those if you are building a commercial website.

The real strength of the pro version comes with the advanced module. There, you will find almost any module you need: maps, icons, slideshows, contact forms, CTA’s social buttons, everything.

Furthermore, the light version lacks access to the vast library of pre-made templates. This is a huge problem for beginner users, as the light version will force them to build their own website from the very beginning. Furthermore, the inability to save your templates in the light version further pushes users to get the pro version.  

The Pro has another huge advantage: the background options. The free version offers several options, such as color, gradient, photo, or video background. The paid version adds a slideshow and parallax, giving you a more refined look.

There are many other pro features that will enhance your website’s performance, design, and usability. But more importantly, to have a truly operational consumer website, you will need the Beaver Builder Pro. Can you imagine a commercial website without a single button? Neither do we. So, the Beaver Builder Light version is only a demo. You can test it out and see if it fits your style. But you will need the pro version if you want to build a serious website.

Pricing

Beaver Builder Pro comes in four packages – Standard, Pro, Agency, and Ultimate. The difference between the three is small. Each of them offers Beaver Builder use on an unlimited number of websites, gives you priority support for a year, and gives you access to the above-mentioned features and modules.

The only difference is that Standard does not include the Beaver Builder Theme, and Pro does not include White Labeling.

With the Ultimate, you will also get the Beaver Themer Addon Plugin and six months of free Assistant Pro. This is, without a doubt, the best deal for developers who want to earn a living from website creation.

Is Beaver Builder Worth It?

The short answer is Yes. Definitely. The builder offers some extensive options that you can’t find anywhere else. Sure, you have to pay for a premium version if you want to build a functioning commercial website, but when you are creating a business, getting Beaver Builder Pro is an investment rather than an expense. Especially when you use it with HostArmada‘s outstanding cloud hosting. Utilizing this miracle combo will enhance your productivity, performance, and, ultimately, your revenues. So, secure your HostArmada hosting plan and get Beaver Builder Pro to build your winning website.
