Page builder

A page builder is a drag-and-drop tool inside WordPress or a hosted platform for laying out pages without code.

Elementor, WPBakery, Divi and the built-in editors on Wix and Squarespace are all page builders. They make layout easy for a designer and heavy for a browser.

Every page built with one depends on the builder staying installed and updated. Remove it and the page turns into a wall of shortcodes or vanishes.

A Think Bright page is finished HTML. It does not need a builder to run. Editing happens on the page itself, and the file still works if you take it elsewhere.
