In terms of static sites, there's really nothing you cannot do with Pinegrow. I would actually describe Pinegrow as more of a visual website editor as opposed to a builder. In addition to various frameworks, Pinegrow has robust support for both flexbox and CSS grid. You can even open sites directly from URLs.
You can buy a Bootstrap or Foundation or HTML5 template and open it directly. You can open multiple pages open at once, and multiple sizes of each page, so it can make building sites for different viewports pretty easy (especially since in now supports multiple monitors.) Pinegrow is the only one that will allow you to use third-party templates. What you see in the workspace is exactly what the site will look like. One big advantage of Pinegrow is that everything you do is live. If you can hand code, you'll probably have no trouble with it, but there is a bit of a learning curve to the interface.
Bootstrap builder vs coding code#
It doesn't restrict you in any way, but it is not very easy for a beginner to grok, and it definitely requires a good familiarity with code to really be able to do a lot of stuff. It's probably the most open-ended website builder out there. I have used Pinegrow extensively (since 2017) and built a few sites with it.
Bootstrap builder vs coding how to#
And if there's something you can't seem to work out how to do just ask in here and someone can usually help point you in the right direction. If you're looking for a tool to save you time, then you've found it if you're using BSS at this time. There's a lot of CSS that needs attention as well, so no, it's not a beginner tool. Mind you, BSS is not a newbie tool, not for the "Joe Blow guy that wants to drag and drop it all and set a few little settings and be done" kind of person.
More so than BSS in my opinion and considering BSS doesn't have anywhere near as good of documentation as Pinegrow does, that's saying a lot about BSS in how it's easier to learn.
It has a ton of bells and whistles, but not a lot of it is intuitive so it takes a bit to learn how to use it. having said that, the learning curve is extremely painful. Pinegrow is nice, the biggest advantage there is that most things are open (not locked) and your files aren't saved to a single proprietary project file like BSS is so you can edit old sites, new sites, any sites. Nothing near as robust and feature packed as BSS is in any way, at least not when I checked it out about 6 months or so ago it didn't even compare to BSS at all. Mobirise in my opinion is very restrictive and more for the newb person wanting to make a website. I like BSS and Pinegrow, for different things, as my brief description of each mentions. Pinegrow also has its own WordPress template buildring tools - in its "full", more costly, version. All three are "builders", with packaged components, which differ in how easily you can incorporate your own code, and how easily one can do this, Pinegrow perhaps being most flexible in this regard, but BSS has some nice features here, too, but as I said, it's reliant on Bootstrap, which in itself is not as flexible as Foundation, which Pinegrow enables you to use. I don't use WebFlow, so can't talk about it. Pinegrow permits using more than one CSS framework as its name implies BSS permits using only one - Bootstrap. Your (perennial) question simply asks - "Can I join PHP systems with each of these front-end tools?" Simply put, Yes - now go to each and do a search for PHP. All three - BSS, Pinegrow, and WebFlow are "front-end" tools for UI interaction with users - they're not back-end tools relying on databases - which is what CMSes are. You say you know how to code, yet obviously you know nothing about computing.
