What it does
Building custom page layouts in WordPress often means editing templates or writing code. This plugin moves that work into a visual editor on the front end of your site. You drag elements such as buttons, sliders and galleries onto the page, adjust them, and see each change as you make it. There is no need to refresh or switch between an editor screen and a preview, which makes trying out different layouts quicker and less tedious.
The builder fits a range of projects, including personal blogs, online stores and company websites. Responsive controls let you adjust how layouts appear on mobile and tablet screens, and revision history with undo and redo lets you experiment and roll back when something does not work. Developers get an API for extending features or customizing elements, and the plugin is translation ready for multilingual sites. It is designed to work alongside your existing WordPress themes and plugins.
Best for
- Site owners who want to design pages without code
- Developers who need to extend or customize page elements
- Blogs, online stores and company websites
