Vs The Competition
If you're considering switching from Elementor to Breakdance, there are a few reasons why you might want to make the switch.
Breakdance's incredibly fast load times keep visitors and search engine bots happy.
Breakdance is the easiest visual builder for WooCommerce. Period.
Build your website in a matter of minutes when you use global settings.
Show or hide elements and sections based on anything. Literally.
Build dynamic websites visually using loops and repeaters. Connect your database everywhere.
Searchable panels, revision history, copy-paste elements across your websites.
I just dumped Elementor on a few client sites and rebuilt with Breakdance in only a couple hours. I dropped 8 plugins that Elementor needed. Never going back.
“I love it. It's so smooth. It really shows how cumbersome Elementor can be.”
“I'm enjoying building sites again, and Breakdance does things far better than the block editor or Elementor.”
“Light years ahead of Elementor in terms of performance.”
By carefully studying the last generation of website builders and listening to the feedback of their users, we have been able to create a modern tool that combines the best features and capabilities of other builders with our own unique improvements and innovations.
We firmly believe that quality and attention to detail matter. We believe that every single aspect of a product matters, from the design to the functionality to the user experience.
We understand that the smallest details can make a huge difference in your experience with a a product, and that's why we take every step of the development process very seriously.
“Once you build with Breakdance, you don't want to use any other page builder.”
“The built in elements are better than that of Elementor.”
“Breakdance has given us a new, happier relationship with WordPress.”
“Transitioning all my client sites to it. I just enjoy it so much better than Elementor.”
“Can't believe how modern and effective Breakdance is compared to its peers (ahem Elementor).”

For example, here are some things we might build that wouldn't be included:
a cloud-based hosting offering
a social media marketing platform that integrates with Breakdance Website Builder
another WordPress plugin for doing something other than building websites with drag & drop
a license that includes the ability to white-label Breakdance
WooCommerce extensions that are non-specific to Breakdance

|
Conditions
Control where your headers and footers appear and who they are shown to - i.e. a member portal header, a logged out user header, etc.
|
Elementor's conditions are good enough for most use cases. Breakdance provides better, more in-depth display conditions to give you more granular control over where your headers and footers appear.
|
|
| Dedicated Header Builder Element |
The dedicated Header Builder element in Breakdance provides header-specific functionality such as sticky on scroll, overlay, etc.
|
not provided
In Elementor, headers are created using the Section element.
|
| Sticky Headers |
Can be achieved using Elementor's "sticky" functionality, although needs a bit of custom code to get the same results as you can in Breakdance.
|
|
| Overlay Headers |
just check a box to make your header an overlay
|
can be achieved in Elementor using negative bottom margin
|
Powerful. Time to say goodbye to Elementor.
