Editor X: a complex website builder that successfully covers all possible needs
This is what we loved most about Editor X and the main reason why we decided to write this review: this website builder successfully covers all the areas a business needs in order to seamlessly maintain, scale and upgrade its activity. We are going to talk more about each of the features so that you can get a better idea of how complex this tool is.
1. Design and layouting features
Editor X helps users build extremely appealing, modern and sophisticated website designs and allows them to style and customize every element to perfection. Some of the design and layouting features include:
- Flexible canvas: seamlessly design your website at any viewport width through the resizing handles available on the sides
- Stack: choose the relationship between elements as the screen size changes; instantly place items inside a Flexbox and prevent unwanted overlaps
- Layouter: a smart layouting tool made of multiple containers, based on Flexbox technology; the content within a layouter can automatically wrap and stack as the screen resizes
- Repeating layouts: easily display unlimited content from a database and maintain a uniform style across every container
- CSS Grid: “paint” your ideas on a 2-dimensional framework to bring to life incredible responsive experiences
- Fixed, Fluid and Scale: pick how each element acts as your screen resizes; set a fixed or a fluid size, or simply set your images and text to scale proportionally with the viewport
- Docking: EditorX allows you to automatically attach elements to the closest edges of their parent container
- Unit of Measure: size your elements in pixels, percentages or according to the viewport height/width
- Custom breakpoints: 3 set breakpoints available but it also lets you custom your own breakpoints
- Style Per Breakpoint: easily change the styling and positioning of elements and choose what to show/hide at breakpoints
- Copy to Breakpoint: the style changes automatically cascade down from larger to smaller breakpoints
- Viewport Height: control exactly which part of your website a visitor sees by setting any section of your site to 100% viewport height
- Focal Point: you can pick the exact point on an image or video that you want to remain visible at every viewport
- Animations: animate any element and have fun with the ideas to supercharge your brand’s online presence
So many other are available, such as a photo studio, amazing scroll effects, numerous video collections, custom menus and a beautifully created design system.

PROs and CONs
We can honestly say that we find this online tool a great shot for everyone to bring to life an idea and see it bloom in front of their eyes.
On the PROs side we can easily mention how effective and intuitive Editor X truly is. We did not need to read any instructions to immediately figure out how to place different elements around, drop in amazing photos and create a website of our liking. There is no lag, no errors and the graphics are amazing. Not to mention how responsive everything is: pretty much every element flows smoothly at the right time, in the right direction, when it needs to.
On the CONs side we can mention that the entire experience can be a bit overwhelming if you’ve never done this before. For someone who is just getting started and does not know much about positioning elements, responsiveness and so on, getting mixed in all of these features can make you a bit dizzy. However, they offer a lot of support and useful resources that will help you get the hang of it in no time!
