Page builders make it easy to design right inside WordPress — drag, drop, tweak, repeat. I did that for years. It felt fast. It felt efficient. And it felt like the “modern” way to build sites.
But I don't think it's actually the right approach.

It's funny, I watch a lot of content creators that are into Webflow or Framer or React and Tailwind.

But, according to Cloudflare, WordPress is in an entirely different league than these platforms.
Not sure how I ended up on this list with the legends @kevinpowell.co and @syntax.fm (and sure, it's just one guys list), but I'll take it!
You know those blog posts where the text is skinny & easy to read, but things like images & videos were wider?
There are a LOT of ways to do this, but what I'm sharing in today's video is super simple, straightforward, and automatically responsive!
