Your page builder shouldn't be the slowest thing on your site.
We build on Breakdance because it gives you Divi- and Elementor-style visual editing without the bloat — lighter pages, fewer plugins, and a site your team can still edit.
Fast by default, not after five plugins.
Same page, three builders. Switch between the vendor test and an independent one — Breakdance leads in both.
One heading. Very different code.
Older builders wrap every element in layer after layer of divs. Less markup means less for the browser — and Google — to wade through.

Simplified for illustration — real output includes extra attributes on all three.
Faster to build in, not just faster to load.
Speed matters to the people editing the site as well as to visitors. Breakdance's editor is snappy where Divi and Elementor tend to drag — so updates take minutes, not an afternoon.
That's why we hand off on Breakdance: your team can keep the site current without calling us for every edit.
Loads and saves in a beat
The editor opens fast, even on long pages, and saving doesn't stall the screen. There's no spinning loader before you can make a change.
Easy to find your way around
A structure panel shows the whole page as a tree. Click to jump to any element, search the element library by name, and switch between pages and templates without leaving the editor.
Settings that update as you type
Spacing, color, and type controls preview live on the canvas. Settings are grouped clearly by breakpoint, so a mobile tweak doesn't mean digging through tabs.
Copy, paste, and rearrange freely
Drag sections in the structure panel to reorder them, duplicate with a click, and copy whole sections — or just their styles — to another page. Undo and revision history have your back.
Everything you'd add a plugin for, built in.
Fewer plugins means fewer updates, fewer conflicts, and fewer things to break at 2am.
Drag, drop, done.
130+ elements with live, true-to-life editing — layouts, typography, and responsive tweaks per breakpoint without touching code.
Change it once, everywhere.
Site-wide colors, fonts, spacing, and buttons live in one panel. Update your brand color and every page follows.
No theme required.
Headers, footers, blog templates, and archive pages are built in Breakdance itself — sticky headers and mega menus included.
Forms that just work.
Contact, quote, and multi-step forms with conditional logic, file uploads, and email notifications — no extra plugin.
Popups without the bloat.
Exit-intent, scroll, and timed popups designed in the same editor, with targeting rules built in.
Design your whole store.
Shop, product, cart, and checkout pages are fully designable — not stuck with WooCommerce defaults.
How the builders stack up.

Based on publicly documented features as of 2026. Builders update often — we confirm specifics during your audit.
We handle the move. You keep your rankings.
Audit
We map every page, form, and integration on your current builder and record a baseline speed report.
Rebuild
Page by page in Breakdance, on a global design system so future edits stay consistent.
Launch & hand off
Redirects, a before/after speed report, and a walkthrough so your team can edit with confidence.
Coming from Squarespace or Wix instead? See WordPress Conversion. Want it kept fast after launch? See Care plans.
Before you switch
Only if you want it to. We can rebuild your current design faithfully, or use the move as a chance to refresh it.
URLs, titles, and descriptions carry over, with redirects for anything that moves. Faster pages typically help, not hurt.
If you've used Divi or Elementor, it'll feel familiar within an afternoon. Every handoff includes a walkthrough.
It depends on page count and features. Most rebuilds are quoted like our Conversion service, starting at $900.
