Beaver offers 30 professionally designed templates that allows you to edit the sample text and content. Beaver does offer a free plan to get you started. Pro plan start is at $99.

Gutenberg

Gutenberg is the latest default WordPress editor and it uses block editing to arrange your post elements. You can easily add your custom content styles by dragging and dropping elements on the page.

It does have a number of limitations though, like being able to adjust the width or height of your blocks.

Gutenberg is great for a more content layout like creating your blog posts, but for page, design is better left to the other builders mentioned in this post. It’s a backend editor,  what this means is that it doesn’t allow you to style visually as you create your content. You will need to constantly click on PREVIEW.
