• Take into account:
  • It doesn't work with Guttenburg very well so make sure you install and activate the Classic Editor plugin
  • Here is a good resource that talks about the pluses and minuses
  • Don't go all "My Space" on this. This may be exciting at first, but remember that good design still has to be adhered to...
    • The nice thing about not using something like this is that the theme and global setting prevail.
      With great power comes great responsibility
    • Design based clients love this, but it may be a bit much for others
      • Our last client, who is pretty tech savvy, was lost...it took me a while as well
      • Not really fun for developers either...it adds a lot of extra code and styles...and it will slow your page speed a bit
  • It can give designers a lot more control over their content...so on that level it's pretty effective
