3. 30+ Add-Ons and Counting

Develop your website with elements like texts, images, icons, buttons, and more. There are plenty of add-ons in WP Page Builder to fully equip and deck out your site. Drag & drop the add-ons on web pages and then modify their looks the way you want.

Here are some of the amazing add-ons included:

• Form: Create web forms effortlessly. It gives you a convenient way to style your forms as you desire. The Form add-on itself is capable of setting up any kind of form without needing to install any plugin. Moreover, you can manage form plugins and enable reCAPTCHA with just a simple click. There is also an add-on for Contact Form 7 if you prefer.
• Carousel: It’s hard to find an advanced add-on like a carousel in a free page builder plugin, but WP Page Builder lets you create stunning hero sliders without having to pay for it.
• Post Grid: Display blog posts in grids defining the number of posts and styling the look.
• Feature Box: Use the Feature Box add-on to display the features of products on your website.
• Accordion: Need any collapse text content on your site? Use WP Page Builder’s Accordion add-on and modify the style the way you want.
• Person Carousel: Besides displaying profiles and testimonials individually, you can also showcase them in carousels too. The Person Carousel and Testimonial Carousel add-ons will do that for you.
• Pricing Table: For services you offer or products you sell, you probably need pricing tables. Use the Pricing Table add-on in WP Page Builder to set up pricing tables easily.
• Flip Box: Have a flip-box with logo, title, text, and buttons, and change the flip options and style to look the way you want.
• Pie Progress: Place a pie progress element on your site with the Pie Progress add-on.

• Animated Number: Use this add-on to display animated numbers for better stats presentations.
• Social Button: Link to social media profiles using different buttons on your site.
• SoundCloud: Add audio bits from SoundCloud.

4. Device Specific Responsiveness Controls

You can determine the way your website looks on different size of devices. The device specific responsiveness controlling system in WP Page Builder lets you adjust and optimize web pages for desktops, tablets, and mobile phones easily.

The process of making web pages responsive with only a single unit (pixel) does not make a page builder smart. WP Page Builder introduces multiple responsiveness units. Alongside pixels, you can also determine the responsive breakpoint with rem and percentage units. You can change the element sizes and even show/hide specific elements for specific devices.

5. Plenty of Premade Layouts

Whatever the type of website you want to build, a wide range of predesigned templates inside WP Page Builder has got you covered. Choose any layout that matches your cause the most, customize them with your contents, and launch a complete website in minutes.

These readymade layouts come in the form of layout packs. The most popular layout packs are:

1. Business: Built for any type of business websites. Companies or business firms needing to showcase portfolios, profiles, and services can take the best advantage of this layout pack. The available pages in this pack include: Home, About, Team, Portfolio, Pricing, Contact, and Services.
2. Insurance: Perfect for any finance related company, corporate firm, or agency that provide insurance services. The pack comes with three built-in pages namely: Home, About, and Services.
