I am surprised you haven’t mentioned Elementor in your article. In case you haven’t tried it, do give it a try with a good theme. A powerful builder with a lean theme makes the best combination. I read about it here ( https://www.wpblog.com/drag-drop-elementor-page-builder-for-wordpress/ ) and used Base theme with Elementor. The results were beautiful 🙂
