WPBakery Page Builder
WPBakery Page Builder is a WordPress plugin for building website layouts with front-end and back-end drag-and-drop editors. The front-end editor supports inline changes, while the back-end presents a schematic view of pages, posts, and custom post types. The builder includes more than 50 content elements and over 100 predefined templates, along with tools for adapting layouts to different devices and fine-tuning responsive design. WPBakery says the plugin works with any properly coded WordPress theme. Listed integrations include WooCommerce, Yoast SEO, WPML, TranslatePress, Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, Contact Form 7, ACF, and several slider plugins. Developers can extend it through an API and map WordPress plugin shortcodes to builder elements. A free online demo lasts 720 minutes, requires a name and valid email, and does not require payment information; changes made in the demo are sandboxed and cannot be saved permanently or exported to a WordPress site. There is no free plan. Regular is listed at $82 a month for a lifetime license covering one site. A direct license includes one year of support, and lifetime licenses receive free updates for the license lifetime.
