Building a fully functional dynamic website in WordPress is not too challenging anymore, thanks to plugins designed to do all the most demanding work. Advanced Custom Fields, Toolset, and Meta Box are probably the top-of-mind tools here. Let’s compare these plugins between each other and the Crocoblock JetEngine.
Dynamic Website Structure
The more complex the website is, the more advanced features it requires from plugins for its development. However, no site structure can be created without features like Custom Post Types, Custom Fields, Repeater Custom Field, Custom Meta Boxes, Custom Taxonomies & Terms, Posts Relations, and Options Page.
All the considered plugins generally cover these functions, but to varying degrees. For example, only Crocoblock has such a custom field type as Iсopiсker. Also, Crocoblock JetEngine is the only solution that allows you to create a personal data repository for every user to store any post collections.
Custom Content Types is a neat feature that allows storing all CCT metadata in separate database tables, allowing you to query and export data twice faster and save server resources. Crocoblock is the only provider that offers such an option at no additional cost.
Dynamic Content Output
Extract the user data, data from the custom post types, meta fields, taxonomies, option pages, and display it dynamically on the website. Each provider from the list offers unique widgets and listings for displaying dynamic fields.
Dynamic Visibility
It is a module that allows users to adjust the dynamic visibility parameters for every content element on the page depending on user data, meta fields’ values, and other conditions.
Such an option exists only within the Crocoblock and Toolset.
Advanced Dynamic Options
To create simple websites such as a portfolio or a news site, the functionality we discussed above will be more than enough. However, if you need to develop something more complicated like a Multivendor marketplace, you will need functionality as Front-end Forms, Profile Builder, Membership, and Rest API. This is a unique set of tools that only Crocoblock provides.
