Gutenberg vs Elementor: WordPress page builder comparison

When building a WordPress website with design scalability in mind, choosing between Gutenberg and Elementor can have a significant impact on the site’s long-term success. 

Gutenberg, officially called the Block Editor, is the default content editor within WordPress. It offers a streamlined, block-based approach for content creation. Elementor, a popular third-party page builder plugin, is known for its extensive customization options.

Both Gutenberg and Elementor offer a visual WYSIWYG interface that allows users to see real-time changes.  This eliminates the need for extensive coding. Users can drag and drop elements to construct complex layouts, input content, and customize designs easily. 

At rtCamp, we work with both Gutenberg and Elementor for our enterprise clients. And we can confirm that both work well in enterprise settings. However, with Gutenberg, you tend to stay close to the “core” as it ships with WordPress. This handbook shares insights to help you choose the more suitable page builder for your specific needs.
