<b>WPBakery vs Elementor: inheriting an old site</b>
You'll meet WPBakery on legacy client sites. Know what you're walking into before quoting.
— WPBakery is shortcode-based, so content is portable-ish but renders as junk if disabled.
— Elementor stores structured data in post meta, cleaner in the DB but locked to Elementor.
— WPBakery's frontend editor lags hard on long pages; Elementor's is smoother but heavier on assets.
<b>Pros (WPBakery):</b> bundled free with many themes, content survives in text form.
<b>Cons (WPBakery):</b> dated UI, shortcode rot, weak performance story.
<b>Pros (Elementor):</b> modern UX, active development.
<b>Cons (Elementor):</b> heavier default output.
<b>Best for:</b> migrate WPBakery sites to Gutenberg or Bricks at redesign; don't just swap to Elementor and keep the weight.
