I have to agree with Jovo and the others, I personally find the swift page builder to be much more difficult and less user friendly than visual composer. It’s a shame as I really like the theme and would use it in the future for other client websites but visual composer is much easier for my clients to understand and work with, so I will probably only purchase the theme this one time.
One of my main issues is having to manually enter shortcodes. For example: [sf_iconbox image=”fa-tachometer” type=”standard” color=”standard” title=”Box Title” animation=”fade-in” animation_delay=”200″]Enter your Icon Box content here[/sf_iconbox]
For a client to make updates to their website who does not have much knowledge of web design this looks confusing. Other things that cannot be done with the swift builder (as far as I can tell) is the ability to hide content on certain devices. For example on other themes which use the visual composer, I can edit rows and select whether the rows show on all devices or are hidden on mobiles, tablets etc. This is a very useful feature for making mobile adaptive websites.
Like the others, my personal opinion is that extending the functionality of the visual composer is the way to go with this theme.
Thanks
