Most "page builder" articles are demos that quietly skip the annoying parts. This isn't that. I built the same landing page twice — once by hand in our visual builder, once by asking Claude to do it through our MCP server — and timed both. Here's exactly what happened, including the bits that were slower than I'd like.

What the page builder actually is

Neleto's page builder is a block-based visual editor. You drag sections onto a canvas — hero, text, image, gallery, CTA, columns, embed — set their content and spacing in a side panel, and the page renders with our built-in Rust frontend. No separate frontend app, no framework to wire up. You hit publish and the page is live on your domain.

The point is that you don't have to choose between "developer headless setup" and "locked-in website builder." You get the visual editor for the 90% case, and full HTML/CSS control plus a plugin API for the 10% that needs it.
