Hello and thanks for the great recommendations. As you mention GeneratePress, a block theme that doesn't allow full site editing, I would really like to know your opinion about FSE:I suppose you already treated this subject, would you mind pointing me to the right video(s)? Thanks!
-
Thanks Paul! I'm surprised that Crocoblock's tools didn't make your list. I like them better than ACF. I've been amazed by their functionality AND their customer support.

Great content! Thank you! I was recently exploring alternatives to Elementor and came out with Oxygen. Have you tried it? What is your ooint of view? Thank you again

Hello to you! I wanted your help. I have always followed you on your YouTube channel where you share our knowledge about creating a WordPress website. Thanks for your work. Thanks to you, we are creating websites. I have a client (an organization) who wants me to create a website for them. He wants to be able to pay for his subscription himself. I already have a Hostinger subscription and this is where I host the websites of my clients. How can I handle this case? Thanks for your help!
