Beaver Builder user reviews

Overall, Beaver Builder is seen as a very powerful WordPress plugin, offering an intuitive user experience and ease of use.

Users highlight its speed, ease of editing, and excellent community support.

The flexibility of the plugin and its compatibility with many other WordPress tools are also highly appreciated.

I’ve used a handful of other page builders (Elementor, WPBakery, Gutenberg) and Beaver Builder is my favorite. I like its WYSIWYG nature and find it more intuitive than the other builders. I’ve taught a number of my clients to use it so they can maintain their own sites after I’ve built them. I have the paid version and have found the support to be excellent. I particularly like the fact that when I send in a support ticket, the same BB support person follows it through to the end.

This plugin was recommended to me for building pages, but I ended up using it for blog posts too. It’s so easy to use and looks great!

Yasmin Stefanie

I started using Beaver Builder in 2016. Since then, my income has increased by 60-70%. This is because Beaver Builder has allowed me to take on more clients and spend less time building websites.
