\"bestBest WordPress Page Builder Plugins<\/h2>\n

When it comes to customizing your WordPress site you\u2019re going to have a lot of different options available. Most themes have various customization options that let you change the look and feel of your overall site. But, most lack options for extensive post or page customization.<\/p>\n

Hence, the rise of WordPress page builder plugins. These plugins make it very easy to create completely custom pages and posts across your site. Below we highlight the five best WordPress page builder plugins.<\/p>\n

\"Recommended<\/a><\/p>\n

Why Would I Use a Page Builder Plugin?<\/b><\/h2>\n

WordPress page builder plugins can help you easily create a custom site without having any previous coding experience. If you feel limited by the current customization options for your WordPress theme, then you can use one of the plugins highlighted below to easily create a custom design.<\/p>\n

Even though WordPress offers plenty of post formatting options, it doesn\u2019t really allow you to customize the look and feel of each post or page. With page builder plugins you can easily create custom posts and pages that stand out and engage your readers in new and effective ways.<\/p>\n

The Best Page Builder Plugins<\/h2>\n

There are dozens of WordPress page builder plugins currently on the market. Most of them have similar features and allow to accomplish your customization goals. Below we highlight five of our favorite WordPress page builder plugins.<\/p>\n

1. Visual Composer<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"visual<\/p>\n

Visual Composer is the number one best-selling plugin at Code Canyon<\/a>, and one of the first page builders on the market. It offers full drag and drop support, will work with any WordPress theme, and lets you edit via the back-end or front-end of your site.<\/p>\n

This plugin comes with over 40 different predefined layouts you can use to start customizing your site, or you can use one of the 45 different content elements available. Plus, it\u2019s mobile-friendly, and even integrates with plugins like Yoast SEO and WooCommerce.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a reason this plugin is a best seller: it\u2019s affordable, easy to use, and offers plenty of customization options to suit every style of website owner.<\/p>\n

2. SiteOrigin Page Builder<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"siteorigin<\/p>\n

The SiteOrigin Page Builder is a free plugin that\u2019s on par with the other paid plugins on this list. In order to customize your site, you\u2019ll be given a workable canvas, where you\u2019ll be able to change the content blocks within.<\/p>\n

This editing canvas supports drag-and-drop functionality and will work across all of your site\u2019s posts and pages. Plus, it works as a widget too, so you\u2019ll be able to customize your sidebars and any other aspect of your site that uses widgets.<\/p>\n

Finally, this plugin is responsive and operates on a grid-based layout, so your newly customized site will look good on every screen size.<\/p>\n

3. Themify Builder<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"themify<\/p>\n

The Themify Builder is a powerful and easy to use page builder. It enables you to edit via the backend of your site, as well as the front-end. Whichever editing interface you choose, you\u2019ll be able to use the drag and drop feature to customize your site.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be able to add elements to your site, like boxes, galleries, images, sliders, testimonials, videos, text blocks, and a lot more. It\u2019s also equipped with pre-designed layouts that are based upon page types.<\/p>\n

With the features this plugin provides you\u2019ll be able to make simple site changes where you see fit and even use it to create an entire website on the back of a basic theme.<\/p>\n

4. Conductor Plugin<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"conductor<\/p>\n

It uses a drag and drop editor and currently integrates with almost any existing WordPress theme. However, some of the features of this plugin do work best with the Symphony framework. There are also additional add-ons available that will extend the functionality of this plugin.<\/p>\n

There are a ton more WordPress page builder plugins out there, but the five mentioned above are our favorites. Choose your favorite from the list above and start customizing.<\/p>\n
