Comparison to Other Editors

In this section of the FAQ, we're happy to provide our outrageously unbiased and $100% accurate review on how Graphite.Space compares to other similar tools. Please mind that, for the sake of keeping it short and simple, we're limiting the comparison to a basic, conceptual level.

DISCLAIMER: We have nothing but admiration for our fellow developers in other companies, and greatly appreciate the diversity the competition brings to the industry. The information in this article is subjective, and is provided for educational (not promotional) purposes.

Wix / Editor X

When it comes of Wix, it would be more accurate to compare Graphite to Wix's EditorX product.

We really like Wix and honestly think it's a great tool for a really wide audience of users. Being a tool tailored for very specific audiences ourselves, we're willing to say that Graphite.Space is easier to use compared to EditorX, while allowing you to create web pages and web sites of fairly similar complexity.

Webflow

Webflow is a cool guy. But what really distinguishes Graphite in this comparison is that our product emphasizes visual editing over technical development, whereas Webflow is more on the code-heavy side (in our humble opinion, at least):

• Graphite does not have a steep learning curve, allowing you to create web sites with little to no knowledge of HTML and CSS;
• Settings for element size, margins, padding etc., as well as the means to create a basic grid structure in Graphite are made as visual tools available for use right on the canvas;
• Graphite can boast a much more concise, intuitive and user-friendly interface for designers: we have fewer settings, toggles, buttons and levers than Webflow, while allowing you to create web pages of equal complexity;
• Graphite offers a much more familiar approach to the design system and visualizing your ideas in general, and it lets you implement previously familiar tools and techniques that you'd normally use in your favorite graphic editor.

Basically, if you're a designer and you prefer visual editing over working with code, we're pretty sure you'll like Graphite better than any similar tool out there. At least that's what we like to hope for!

Wordpress

Compared to Wordress, Graphite gives you static web pages that load a lot faster and are much more stress-resistant as a result of your work. Also – the whole process of creating a landing page is a lot smoother and quicker (or so we aim to achieve) in our editor.

To be perfectly honest, though, when it comes to creating complex web sites and managing heaps of content, Graphite does not have much on Wordpress yet. Fortunately (for us), we do have a few updates in mind that will help us even the odds... in our favor ;p
