Website builders or page builder plugins are great for non-technical users to quickly build websites. If your budget is low or you don't have a developer, then a website builder is a great choice.
However, website builders have their limitations. They often sacrifice customization for simplicity. Often, they have limited functionality and design options. This isn't a problem for smaller websites, but if you're operating a large website that needs more customization or advanced features, website builders or page builder plugins may not be the right choice.
Aptuitiv works well for small websites and excels on larger, more complex ones. The way content is managed and the deep customization of Aptuitiv are a few reasons we may be the better choice than website builders.
