I am affiliate (IOS) of another company that is in the finance vertical. Because I'm an ISO of this other company we were able to use the same website design for our company, we just changed our logo, images, and content. Now that I'm learning more about how the website should look, feel and work I'm trying to find a user friendly page or landing page editor. Is there such a thing as a point & click editor for WP, like drag & drop functions? I don't want to learn code, but by researching my competition I have a good idea on how I want my new pages and landing pages to look. Thanks in advance for not bashing me.
 


Wordpress has a default "Visual" editor that allows you to edit articles almost like a word document. This is as close as you are going to get:

The Dark Sky Blue oval area allows you to add photos (photo above).

There is a Theme customizing option

But I never wasted time with that.

You don't want to learn code, but want to edit the way a website looks? Well that's the equivalent of saying I don't want to learn how a car engine works but I want to make my car faster by changing the engine, adding turbo, and adding forged pistons. Hire a mechanic then. There is no "easy" way to doing this. Without the knowledge, you can't magically acquire the editing skills.

Hire a web designer to make the edits; and no just because your kid, nephew, or the neighbor's child down the street know computers doesn't mean they are a professional web designer. That same kid can answer the phone do you want them answering your business line?

By research the competition what? How do you even know the competition's website converts traffic into leads/sales? Saying it's a cool/nice site doesn't mean that site makes them money. A web designer can't give you that answer either. A conversion optimization specialist can. You'll need to A/B split test your designs to make get the best layout to maximize conversions. So instead of the competition's website converting at 1% (1 in 100 people convert into a lead), a conversion optimization specialist can get it to 2-10%, and continue on. That person needs to know how to edit a website as well.

If you were sold the wise tale, that it's just build it and they will come, well, you're in for a big surprise. I've only touched on a tip of the iceberg.​
