📝 WordPress (Gutenberg Block Editor) – Best for Simplicity & Speed

Pros:

  • Lightweight and fast (no extra page builder code).

  • Easier to manage for blogging.

  • Gutenberg blocks are enough for most blog post formatting (headings, images, quotes, lists, etc.).

  • Better for SEO and performance out of the box.

  • No extra cost (Elementor Pro is paid).

Cons:

  • Design customization is more limited (especially for fancy layouts).

  • Takes more effort to make a blog post look “beautiful” without additional CSS.


🎨 Elementor – Best for Custom Design & Visual Control

Pros:

  • Drag-and-drop interface for full design freedom.

  • Great if your blog needs more visual storytelling (e.g., portfolio blogs, product reviews, media-rich content).

  • You can create custom blog post templates (with Elementor Pro).

  • Ideal if you want a branded, styled post layout.

Cons:

  • Slower page load times (Elementor adds extra code).

  • Can get overwhelming for simple blogging tasks.

  • Needs Elementor Pro for full customization (extra cost).


🚀 My Recommendation:

  • If your main focus is writing content and SEO, go with WordPress (Gutenberg).

  • If you’re building a visual brand or want each post to stand out, go with Elementor (ideally with a custom template so you don’t rebuild layout each time).
