Switchboard CMS by Coates Group vs. Divi

Divi is great if you build multiple websites for clients; however, I'm not sure it is cost-effective if you only make a single site.

• It has a very easy-to-use and extremely complete block editor.
• It offers many templates that you can use as a base for your website.
• Customer service has been fast and effective whenever I have needed it.
• Tiene un editor de bloques muy sencillo de usar y extremadamente completo.
• Ofrece muchas plantillas que puedes utilizar como base para tu web.
• La atención al cliente ha sido rápida y efectiva siempre que la he necesitado

• The load time of the builder could be faster. On some websites it takes a long time to load, and may crash the page. (I believe they've said they're working on this stability issue.)
• Warnings on updates if they're difficult for some sites to run. I have one website that has crashed more than once from Divi's theme updates. I always back it up before the update so I restore the site, but this is still a bit of an inconvenience.
• Integrated (or more clearly marked) tutorials within the builder. I migrate site maintenance and ownership to clients after the site is complete and some could use refreshers within the builder on what happens where i.e. the difference between a section, row, module.

Divi is overall a great tool to use - I think I would need to spend a little more time to dig into the tool to provide more long term feedback.

I find Elementor very clunky and find Divi much more intuitive.

Also we purchased a lifetime license for Divi and can use it on unlimited websites, while Elementor there is a yearly subscription per site

• Higher conversion rate
• Theres no needed more tools
• Ive got rid of a CTA tool since with Divi i can make them. Is not that easy, but is functional
