An Impressive Page Builder? Oh yes.
I own (or have tried) every single page builder for WordPress. To say I was skeptical about another page builder is to say the least. I used the test drive on the Zion site and quickly abandoned it (yeah, judged it too quickly). After spending some time on the Facebook group, I came back the next day to try again. Okay I thought, I think I get this. I got some more push back from users on the Facebook group... so I thought I'd dive deeper this time.
The more I use Zion Builder the more I like it. YES - it is a learning curve as all new builders are. This one is intuitive and hits the marks for what is missing in just about every other page builder.
The builder is fast, easy to use, and can be described as smoother than elementor, as fast as bricks, with some of the customizability of Oxygen. Zion does a great job of blending workflow with customizability for more developer friendly CSS classes. This means you don't have to open every button to change the style, but you also don't have to go into the styles.css to find the class buried beneath all the rest. You can edit the class globally in the visual editor. Remarkable.
The interface is a reminder of Brizy Builder but less quirky. I like the Brizy editing interface but it just isn't intuitive and can be confusing. Looks like Zion beat them to fixing that - and I think clients will like it.
Am I saying that this will replace other editors? No. It will not replace Oxygen or Bricks - at least not for me. But it WILL REPLACE Beaver Builder, Divi, and Elementor. In comparison... they stink, they're slow, and they're old.
When I am thinking about how my clients will interact with the site and page editing, Zion is simple, uncluttered, and it makes sense.
Final thoughts, the developers of Zion listen to their users. They want to improve and get better. They have a roadmap and are going to continue building this page builder. I think most WP folks will regret not buying this in a year or two. The Zion team is looking at the big picture and ready to take on the future.
Cheers.
