What it does

Building a WordPress site by hand often means editing code or working around a theme's fixed layouts. This plugin replaces that with a visual builder where you drag content into place and arrange it on the page. You can start from one of the pre-built templates and adjust it, or build a page structure from scratch with the layout builder. Colors, fonts and layouts can be changed to match your brand, and the resulting pages are responsive, so they adapt to desktops, tablets and phones.

The plugin suits a wide range of projects, from simple personal blogs to business websites and online stores. It works with WooCommerce, and it includes elements for things like forms, Instagram feeds, a Stripe button and WooCommerce order details. Built-in SEO tools sit alongside the design features, and global and per-page options let you control settings such as animated page transitions between pages. Beginners can rely on templates, while experienced builders can create more complex page structures.
