Owning a successful online website takes a lot of dedication. It also takes a willingness to commit to certain tools that optimizes performance, productivity, and saves on resources. How you use your content management system should be no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WordPress has come a long way and, with its newest release, has updated its default content editor to that of Gutenberg. This block editor comes packed with all the features<\/a> you\u2019d need to build and maintain a successful WordPress website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, with WordPress\u2019 upgrades, plugin creators have also sharpened their toolsets regarding page builder plugins. As a result, some WordPress users have opted to try out plugins<\/a>, such as Motopress, in the hopes of designing more intricate posts and landing pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Motopress Differs From Gutenberg<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although Motopress does offer great perks when it comes to customizing your website, it also has some downsides. In this article, we will explore why WordPress users should migrate from Motopress to Gutenberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All About MotoPress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

MotoPress is a drag-and-drop content editor<\/a> quite similar to Gutenberg. It is also compatible with various WordPress themes. This plugin elaborates on WordPress\u2019s functionality when it comes to spicing up posts and pages, without requiring the user to have any web developing skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike traditional page builders, you also don\u2019t have to make use of source code. This means you are free to stop using the plugin at any time without having to worry about removing source code from your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motopress integrates with the standard editor screen in WordPress, so it won\u2019t alter the editing experience too much. Furthermore, it\u2019s also able to integrate with just about any theme. The plugin\u2019s creators also offer custom WordPress themes that allow for even more versatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above perks may sound perfect, but, unfortunately, the range of features that Motopress provides comes at a hefty price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WordPress users are able to choose between the three license options, namely the personal, business, or developer license. The personal license gives you a download license for one WordPress website. The business license equips you for up to five websites. Lastly, the developer license gives you editing access to an unlimited number of websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Motopress may be a good option for established companies, it doesn\u2019t cater to new online businesses that are still finding their feet. Seeing as Motopress\u2019s only value addition is extra editing options, investing in this plugin on a monthly basis may not seem like a worthwhile investment for most companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also worth mentioning that Motopress\u2019s default styling of the elements isn\u2019t as refined when compared to other page builders. This means you will have to tinker around with the options to really get the most out of this plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Gutenberg Might Be The Better Choice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gutenberg is the new and improved WordPress block editor. It replaced the WordPress TinyMCE editor in the latest WordPress editor version – WordPress 5.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you want to copy and paste directly from Google Docs or you want to simply add images right where you want them, Gutenberg\u2019s intuitive build allows you to make effortless changes to any post or page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of Gutenberg\u2019s new layout options are compatible with older themes. This means you don\u2019t have to redesign a well-loved website when opting to go with Gutenberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Gutenberg allows you to play around with color, add anchor links to the heading blocks, or convert blocks into another type of block with just a click of a button. This effortless design of the block editor itself allows you to create beautiful page designs that stand out from the crowd without the need of additional layout options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part about Gutenberg? It\u2019s completely free. This block editor now comes standard when downloading and using WordPress. So, you won\u2019t have to pay extra to get access to all that Gutenberg has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
