Joe
I am using H-Code and it is really amazing theme. Thank you.
I am using H-Code and I am loving it.
I am not that experienced with theme development yet, but I am still able to solve most of my issues.
I don’t like working with Visual Composer though. Is there anyone who can recommend another composer or page builder? Or themes that use other techniques instead of VisualComposer?
Hein,
Visual Composer is by far the best and most advanced drag and drop page builder available for WordPress. There are some themes such as Avada, Divi, X Theme and others that uses their own page builders but they are basically a forked versions of Visual Composer that are skinned differently but shared the same functionality and idea. Personally I would recommend to spend some time to learn VisualComposer as that’s the backbone of thousands of WordPress themes out there and is most commonly used page builder plugin.
