Our guest for this episode is Robby McCullough, one of the co-founders of the Beaver Builder plugin and the FastLine Media agency. Beaver Builder is a great drag and drop page builder, which we’ve used ourselves.



The Core



* Available as either a plugin or theme

* Free version: https://wordpress.org/plugins/beaver-builder-lite-version/

* Especially useful for clients, who can make edits visually without understanding code
