For future reference, I do know of a “convert to Elementor” tool, and it is well-done and even free. It will read each page, convert it to Elementor. If the client wants to switch to Elementor, that makes it much easier to then make a page template in Elementor, and modify each page to use the template. It can even convert “pure HTML/CSS/PHP” sites. Anyone curious, can ask me about it.
It is a “bad idea” to have multiple page builders installed (mainly the page speed is hurt by loading all those program files).
That said, you can certainly take a WordPress site made recently (meaning, running a current version of WordPress and a theme that at least works with the current version of WordPress) that was done in the Block Editor, and add Elementor to it.
I’ve done many sites where “only the few special pages” used Elementor, and the rest was made with the Block Editor. This works if you know how to edit “most pages” in the Block Editor.
What if you Do have another page builder?
As an example, let’s say you have Beaver Builder.
(I will guess Beaver Builder is still one of the better page builders. It certainly is one I would say is okay to use; there are many I’d urge you to get that other junk builder off your site. I haven’t done a comparison in a long time so maybe BB is better than Divi (the Divi Builder, not the junk theme bundled with it, use Divi Builder with 2025 or Spectra One themes).
What if You Like the Block Editor, Do you Need a Page Builder?
I like the TwentyTwentyFive theme, or the Spectra One theme.
Spectra One Theme and Spectra Builder
Spectra is a freemium page builder that integrates with the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg), allowing you to create a WordPress site with ready-to-use blocks, and some great templates.
Spectra One is a modern and versatile WordPress theme that leverages Full Site Editing (FSE), allowing for extensive customization using blocks throughout the site, from headers to footers. It was developed by Brainstorm Force, the creators of the popular Astra theme, and is available for free on WordPress.org.
Spectra – WordPress Gutenberg Blocks generates Blocks, so it is designed to work smoothly with any theme, including the free Spectra One theme, https://wpspectra.com/ or Spectra – WordPress Gutenberg Blocks. Most of the features of full page builders, with zero page builder bloat; your site loads fast.
Spectra One is beautiful and modern, suitable for blogs, portfolios, businesses, and more.
It is fully compatible with WooCommerce, and has some WooCommerce-specific features that will significantly enhance the experience. If you want to set up a WooCommerce shop, or online course, or coaching program, Spectra One is a solid choice, especially if you plan to start with basic features and gradually expand.
Spectra Pro, the premium version of Spectra, offers advanced website design options and is designed to work smoothly with any theme, including Spectra One. Start with the free version, and upgrade when you find specific features you need.
In summary, Spectra and Spectra One are well-suited for coaches and course creators.
