I’m creating a WordPress site for a client using the Block Editor, not a page builder. I can’t believe I’m brave enough. LOL

It’s been eye-opening for a few different reasons:

1. It’s a whole new learning curve to figure out where to adjust things.

2. The design system differs from builders like Elementor and Divi, though it’s decent.

3. Not using a page builder has made the site load much faster, which is a plus.

The site is almost ready to go live. I’ll share it when it does and discuss my experience with the WordPress block editor more.
