1. Avada’s pros and cons

Pros:

1. Unlimited design options for creating website layouts.
2. Own drag-and-drop page builder (Fusion Builder).
3. It works on the front end of your website, meaning it shows you the outcomes of your work right away.
4. Many premium plugins are included, including ACF Pro and Revolution Slider.
5. Integrated mega menu for complex page navigation.

Cons:

1. Design customization limit: You can not customize any page-builder/ theme design. Even if you use any add-ons.
2. Limited designs and layout: As these page builders and themes are only created for fast website development, they have a limited number of layouts and designs.

2. What is an Essential plugin bundle?

Fastest, Lightweight & Highly Customizable – 35+ plugins, 10 sliders, Best in class – Marketing Popup plugin with 2000+ pre-built templates. Compatible with leading page builders/themes saving your time for add-ons and searching plugins on wordpress.org

3. How does an Essential plugin bundle overcome the limitation of the Avada theme?

Designs:

You can use all these layouts and designs with the Avada theme. 

For example, if you are creating a blog website with an Avada theme, the Avada theme gives you 1 or 2 designs but a blog designer in Essential Plugin gives you 8 layouts and 50+ designs

Same like you will get in Sliders, Portfolio, Marketing popup, etc

Design Customization: 

As I said before you can not customize Avada theme elements layout and designs as per your need but if you use  Essential Plugin, you can customize any design with the template overriding method.

Save your time and money

You can save your time by searching multiple Avada theme add-ons and plugins on WordPress.org or at any marketplace. You will also get the benefit to get support for multiple plugins from a single author.

Free to change the page builder

The biggest disadvantage of the Avada theme is that if you decide to switch to another theme, it will leave a shortcode mess behind. This means that all the pages and posts created with the Avada theme will need to be recreated within a different theme or with a different page builder plugin.

But if you design the module with Essential Plugin you are free to change to any theme or page builder.

4. Available content with Avada theme VS content with Essential plugin bundle

Available content with Avada theme

The available content elements include headlines, images, text paragraphs, videos, buttons, dividers, spacers, icons, image galleries and carousels, counters, testimonials, social media icons, shortcodes, and a lot more. Also, you get to use whatever widgets you already have on your WordPress site.

Available content with Essential Plugin Bundle

Here is an essential plugin bundle with all plugin list and their layout and designs:

Conclusion

Putting it all together, the main benefit of using the Avada theme is that you can create impressive page layouts/designs, even if you’re not a professional or have any experience with site-building.

This is especially important if you’re on a tight budget and don’t want to hire anyone to help you with the site.

So, what can you do exactly? First, Avada allows you to take advantage of many content elements/modules (more than 90 of them), which you can place anywhere on the page PLUS you can use Essential Plugin Bundle to take advantage of more layout and designs.
