Craylor - THANK YOU for putting this content out. I cannot express how much time you've saved me. I'm a complete beginner to WP and spent 2 days trying to navigate different theme builders - I had no idea it would be this stressful and overwhelming. Then I came across this video and I've been able to finally get a site up and running. I've watched a lot of videos but you're the first one to actually 'ELI5' (which beginners need!). I've subscribed and also signed up for your training academy. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
There were a few reasons I picked Kadence for this course: 1. The block editor has come a long way over the years, and I finally see it as a viable option for some. I think it’s especially attractive for beginners since it’s so tightly integrated in WordPress. Salient is designed for WPBakery and doesn’t work well with the block editor. 2. Kadence has a free version (which I use exclusively in this course). 3. Kadence also works with Elementor, and I explained in a recent video why I’m preferring Elementor these days over WPBakery. I used the free version of Kadence to build the craylor.academy site with Elementor and liked the experience. Nothing wrong with Salient, it’s still a solid theme. Like anything in the WordPress world, there is no one universal “best” option for every scenario. Kadence works for some people, Salient works for others.
