Looking for an easy way to build and customize your WordPress site? That’s where drag-and-drop page builder plugins come in handy.
WordPress page builders allow you to create, edit, and customize your website layout without writing any code.
In this article, we will compare some of the best drag-and-drop page builders for WordPress.
Why Use a Drag and Drop Page Builder for WordPress?
When starting a blog, many beginners find it difficult to customize their WordPress page layouts. While a lot of premium WordPress themes come with different page layouts, most of them are extremely hard to customize for anyone who does not know code (HTML / CSS).
This is why users often ask us questions like, ‘How can we make WordPress drag and drop?’ or ‘Is there an easy drag-and-drop page builder for WordPress?’
When we talk with people who switch from Weebly to WordPress or from Wix to WordPress, their most common response is ‘I wish WordPress had a drag-and-drop website builder.’
Well, there are several great drag-and-drop page builder plugins available for WordPress. They allow you to create completely custom website designs in WordPress without writing a single line of code.
Since there are so many different WordPress page builder plugins in the market, we decided to compare and rank the top WordPress page builders, so you can choose the right solution for your need.
Our criteria for comparing these WordPress page builders are ease of use, flexibility, and design output.
Having said that, let’s take a look at the best page builders for WordPress in the market.

Each widget is independent and comes with its own settings. Elementor will also let you add widgets created by other WordPress plugins.

Our Grade: A
Review: Elementor is a popular page builder plugin for WordPress. It is easy to use, has a large extensions ecosystem, and comes with tons of modules and templates that you can use to build a custom website. However, the code output is not as efficient, and users often report slower page speed.

Visual Composer Website Builder is a user-friendly WordPress website editor that helps you create custom website layouts, fast.
It comes with a simple drag-and-drop builder, out of box content elements, professional templates, and a host of powerful features to make a website.
Similar to SeedProd and Beaver Builder, it also provides a real front-end editing experience for designing a website. But there’s a lot more you can do with this plugin.
With the exception of SeedProd, Visual Composer is the only other plugin that allows you to edit all aspects of your landing page, such as logos, menus, headers, footers, and sidebars.
That’s why the team decided to call it a website builder, instead of just a page builder.
The plugin features powerful design options to customize the appearance of any element on your page. You have easy options to add stylish backgrounds, including parallax, gradient, slideshow, carousel, zoom in and out, video, and more. It also comes with flexible rows and columns for creating grid layouts on your site.
Visual Composer works well with all WordPress themes. This allows you to switch your themes without losing the custom layouts that you created with Visual Composer.
It also includes support for the new Gutenberg editor, Google Fonts, and Yoast SEO.
Visual Composer is designed for professionals, and it is evident by their attention to detail, such as remembering your color choices, which allows you to easily use the same color palette for consistency throughout your design.
Pricing: $49/year for one site license
Our Grade: A-
Review: Visual Composer is a great plugin for beginners to start a website. It provides powerful features for website making in a simple manner. Website editing is made super simple with the real front-end drag-and-drop editor. However, the interface is a bit different than typical WordPress plugins, so it can feel alienating to new users.
Final Thoughts: Best WordPress Page Builder Plugin
As we compared different drag-and-drop WordPress page builders, one thing became very clear. SeedProd, Thrive Architect, and Beaver Builder are clearly the top 3 choices.
Divi and Elementor Pro are other great alternatives that offer a complete drag-and-drop WordPress page builder.
If you don’t mind spending a little bit of money to get the best solution in the market along with guaranteed support, then go for any of these options, and you won’t regret it.
Do I Still Need a Page Builder if I Am Using the New WordPress Block Editor?
Recently we’ve been getting a lot of users asking us this question.
The WordPress block editor, also known as Gutenberg, was officially launched as the new default WordPress editor. The new editor uses blocks which are content elements for creating pages and posts.
Superficially, the block editor looks similar to some of the WordPress page builders above.
Hence there’re hot discussions going on in WordPress about Gutenberg and page builders.
Is Gutenberg a page builder? Does the Gutenberg block editor replace the WordPress page builders? And, do I still need a page builder if I am using the new WordPress block editor?
Well, the answer to the first two questions is ‘No, not quite yet.’
And yes, you will need a page builder if you want an easy way to create completely custom WordPress designs.
Gutenberg in its current form, is no match for the powerful features these ‘true’ WordPress page builder plugins offer.
Having that said, you can use a plugin like CSS Hero with Gutenberg and probably get away without using a true page builder, but it entirely depends on your needs.
A lot of our readers love using CSS Hero for quick and easy website customization. Read our full CSS Hero review to see if it is a suitable solution for your needs.

What can i DO!?

Hi Bruno,
Please contact the page builder plugin’s support for help. You can also activate the plugin temporarily and then try importing content manually. See the page builder plugin’s documentation for that.

Robin says
Just a heads up for others out there. I have tried Divi and want to pull my hair out. Their tutorials are outdated and so if you want user friendly – this is not.
I often am instructed to go to a certain drop down menu, and it isn’t there. I am instructed to “simply” look for a button option and it not in the place they say it is. I find it somewhere else 20 minutes later… It has become VERY time consuming and frustrating.
I found myself at this article looking for another drop and drag software option because after months of struggling with Divi, I’m done!
sangam kr says
I am looking for a page builder similar to hub pages. can you suggest one for me
Doug Byrd says
I already have a WooCommerce website that I am perfectly happy with. If I get one of these page builder plugins, can I keep my present website the way it is? Will the plug-in integrate into my website?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Doug,
Yes, just don’t edit any of your existing pages with the page builder.
Admin
Nuno Pereira says
Hi there,
What do you think of Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)? Would they be a good alternative to page builders? Could a non-developer create and customise page layouts using ACF rather than page builders?
I have to decide between using ACF or a Page builder. The agency that will develop my website recommends ACF, but I think it’s because they want to push me to use them again in the future, since any changes require the involvement of a developer.
So, I’m a non-developer, I’m the typical digital marketer who knows some HTML/ CSS and I know how page builders work, but I’m not sure about ACF…
I’s important for me to have the flexibility to customise page layouts if needed. For instance, would I be able to create a new page with a new layout by copying existing sections from other pages (e.g. create page #3 using the “testimonial” section from page #1 and “customer logo” section from page #2)?
Let me know what you think,
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Nuno,
Your developers will recommend a solution based on your needs. If you are unsure, then you need to ask them why they would prefer ACF over a page builder plugin. If they are unable to convince you, then you can reconsider your options.
Admin
Junaid says
Can one use different page builders in a website for different pages therein?
WPBeginner Support says
Yes, but we will not recommend it. You will need to keep them installed, which will slow down your admin screens and may even result into conflicts when writing posts or creating pages.
Admin
Hadi says
hi,
tnx for this perfect article.
I have a question:
when we wanna use a page builder like elementor or beaverbuilder is it important what theme we have?(i mean a free theme or pro theme)
if yes, can you give me names of some of the appropriate free and premium wordpress themes?
(if the answer of the first question is yes)what does make pro themes different from free themes?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Hadi,
Most page builder plugins are compatible with any standard compliant free or paid WordPress theme. However, some themes may not have a full-width page template in which case page builder may have to fit its layout inside the page container. In that case you have the option create your own full-width page template or you can use page builder’s canvas template which will do the samething and provide you a blank canvas to use as template.
Admin
Eduardo says
Hello, im new in this. What about if i want to make a platform were my clients can chose there template and edit it with one of those drag and drop builders. Is it posible tu include one of them like seperadly with every registered clientes?
Stacy says
Do page builders slow your site down?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Stacy,
They can. Some page builders may load additional scripts and stylesheets which may slightly increase your page load time. However, with proper WordPress performance optimization you can easily negate their impact.
Admin
Kris says
Elementor every time for me. I think it’s streets ahead of the competition.
Daniel Lee says
Yes but how about its problem with a lack control over responsive breakpoints?
Joris says
What about the code quality of these page builders? Using a page builder seems to me like putting an awful lot of trust in a plugin to handle the layout as opposed to handcrafting templates yourself. Then again, page buildes cut the development time considerably.
Editorial Staff says
These page builders are top-notch in their rights and have huge communities around them. Of course, you’re having to trust the developers of the page builder to maintain the platform, but most of these companies have build sustainable businesses.
Admin
Anthony Pero says
I think in a lot of cases, you can limit the output of the page builder to the_content(). So, you can design a theme, but instead of creating custom templates, or using ACF and custom post types, you can just go with Posts and Pages, and either build some defaults for the client, or allow them to add blocks and widgets to design their own one-off layouts.
Richie Trice says
Is there any builder out there I can use to create the layout of a single blog post but have user adding content use the classic wordpress editor? I am looking for a drag and drop builder to do this, I am sure it can be done with custom coding.
mike says
The beaver themer will create the layout for posts….
Jeff Moyer says
Great article I personally user Divi regularly but am exploring more options because I don’t like the lack of drop down menu options. Want to give Beaver Builder a try soon…
Jim B. says
Elementor is actually free.
Elementor Pro starts at $49.
Pro adds a number of impressive and useful features, but for a basic site, the free version is more than capable.
Raju Kumar says
Want to tell DIVI builder so flexible best and fast. Another thing a lot off free layouts are available and you can import 10 layouts and can select some portions from some layout and then can create your won layout you want which is very very easy.
a tool is god if lot of fre goodies available , Other I have tested and complex and speed is very poor and flexibility is very very poor. All other stuff are paid in those builders.
Sarah Duffy says
If I have zero coding skills but want to learn how to blog and eventually grown into paying someone for a sophisticated site, does it behoove me to work with a developer at first or Can I jump right in with beaver builder lite and a free theme or Vogue I think works with Beaver builder lite.
Titus says
Please, can page builder be used on free wordpress theme? I am a newbie, I just got disappointed with my website I paid a company to design for me,. I have asked them to make some changes which they refused. So I am considering re-designing it myself but looking at the challenges involving in switching theme is making that option a daunting task.
But I am willing to try if I can get the right guidance.
Thanks for the article all the same
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Titus,
Yes, page builder plugins work with any standard compliant free WordPress theme.
Admin
Roxy says
How would these compare to the Avada theme?
Nadine says
ok, I am glad that I found this as I really need to build a word press site fast .
Looks like Divi is not that bad but Beaver Builder is more solid as the post states and Elementor is ok. I read all the comments and these two seem like the best choices. If anyone has any insight on where I can get my domain free, it will cut down pricing. I am trying to figure this all out, but once I do, I will continue to learn. I need to create a bunch of things in Photoshop and only one user said they like the ease of transitioning between Photoshop and Divi. Thanks for everone’s response.
Tousif says
Please don’t go for a free domain. Even the one that comes with your hosting should not be opted. Nothing is truly free. You may end up getting a free domain for a year, however the renewal costs associated with it will be higher than the one you get from the domain registrars. If you want to buy domain, you can use namecheap and you will get a domain for around $9.
Lois says
Can anyone recommend a theme builder that will allow me to download the themes. I am looking to design themes to sell them on my website.
Thanks in advance!
Keith says
Beaver Builder is praised for its ease and excellence by a very large following. Some of my contacts love it…L-O-V-E it!
Beaver Builder has not worked out at all for my situation. Actually, it has been a nightmare to set up and get running on a simple blog. It’s not for everyone, which does underscore that developers should be encouraged that the market is open to other options.
BKF says
Keith: Thanks for taking the time to talk about your experiences with Beaver Builder.
Could you be more specific about why BB hasn’t suited your situation? I’m in the market for a builder and themes. I’m considering Themify with Parallax as my first choice.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Rohit Km=umar says
Thanks for suggesting me a good plugin very helpful.
Gustavo says
I think Beaver is very good, Elementor is good and Divi is fantastic!
Kevin says
Divi is really slow compared to the others and leaves a lot of waste code behind if you remove it from wordpress.
It also requires a lot of css to do things with compared to themes like elementor which require none.
Rob says
I’ve used divi a few years now on multiple sites and now I’m in the process of moving all of my sites out of it. When it was new to me, I thought it was great, but the more I work with it the more I’ve come to hate it. I find it very slow, and a pain to work with their editor. More than once when they have updated I’ve had css issues.
As a lot of people have said, once you go divi you’re married to it. When you try and transfer articles or pages over into something else it’s just full of code that you have to get go through and edit out. Though I would say any system that uses short codes for everything would have the same issue.
Pamela says
Hey everyone, may I ask a personal opinion?
Which one do you think is best considering performance and maintenance: a page builder plugin or set custom fields with ACF plugin?
Thanks.
Kev says
ACF Everytime. If you have the skills to build a website yourself, use a barebones theme and build your own html and stylesheet in around it. It will reduce the need for all of the add-on plugins and limitations of a paid for theme. Once you have a solid template, use this as you basis.
Will says
From the original comments, this post is several years old. Granted, you can repurpose it, however its tough for me to know if you are truly comparing 2017 apples to 2017 apples. I say this because after reviewing BB, Elementor and Divi, I chose Divi. Now I have run into a few issues (color overlay on images, which would seem basic builder features, but its UI and overall experiences is far better than the other two.)
So when you are comparing, it would be best to say Divi 2.0 or Divi 3.0 as they are very different. I’ve worked with BB and it feels like a big slab of old code in comparison Divi 3.0.
Thank you.
Jeni says
Thank you for pointing this out – a lot changes over 12 months and I am seeking the best, flexible and speed friendly page builder and theme system to get into.
The date makes a difference!
This thread started in 2015 folks.
Rogher says
What page builder there are for Woocommerce?
Milan says
Update on pricing (May 2017)!
Beaver Builder starts with a premium version at $99 for UNLIMITED site use. This is quite cheap compared to other plugin pricings.
Yuvraj Zala says
May I ask which Social Media Sharing plugin you are using?
WPBeginner Support says
Hey Yuvraj,
It is custom made specifically for WPBeginner.
Admin
Denise says
When using Site Origin’s Page Builder or Beaver Lite, if the plugin is deactivated will the page be blank?!
Milan says
Can’t speak for Site Origin but BB Lite does leave your text in place when all the page builder code around it is deleted.
So the posts or pages are filled with the orginal copy.
Paige says
I loved building my website with Page Builder by Site Origins because I was an absolute newbie but I have found that it interferes with other elements of my website. I am constantly having to pay my go to guy on Fiverr to find my issues and more often than not, he finds that it is a conflict with Page Builder. The other place I run into issues is with Slider Revolution and it appears that Slider Revolution and Page Builder don’t like each other. Remember I was a newbie and am working to replace the sliders because I keep reading that sliders suck. (I kind of like them since we are a photography company but…)
Should Beaver Builder help with these issues? And how hard is it to change the site from Page Builder to Beaver Builder?
Milan says
There will allways be some plugin conflicts between plugins. Only use the best plugins (free or premium), then there will be less conflicts.
For a slider plugin I suggest:
Soliloquy Lite
armoic says
So the C grade to Divi is just because the shortcode thing?
David says
I would give Divi a C- because it is not as intuitive nor as easy to use as advertize.
Every time I ask a question on how to do basic things, like setting the height of a slider I have to use CSS code to do it.
Sarath says
Is Elementor JS secure? I saw lots of Vulnerability in Visual Composer, and it’s good that they often update. However, is Elementor JS secure enough and does the community frequently update their plugins?
WPBeginner Support says
Hello Sarath,
Elementor is open source, regularly updated, and well maintained. Just like WordPress, it uses the same GPL license which allows anyone to study the code and submit bug reports.

Karakaplan says
I use only Visual Composer in my 10 sites.
You did not mention about it.
As if it is not best selling builder in Codecanyon !
Andrew Peters says
Are use the visual composer for a number of years before I discovered beaver builder about a year ago. I was using it on a few dozen sites. Since moving to beaver builder I’ve gotten significantly less support requests, much less bugs in general, and much much much happier clients. VC I was pretty much the only decent option for a while. That’s just not the case anymore. I was pretty much the only decent option for a while. That’s just not the case anymore.
Michael Zorko says
Woo this is tough. Back in the old days I was a staunch purist. I would often start with a base WordPress theme/framework and build pages with good old fashion css/html/php – Then I found Visual Composer. I was in heaven. I used it a great deal – for about 10 clients. Loved the ease of use – creating templates. Then there was a change. I rehab a great deal of websites. I took over for someone that had their own proprietary drag and drop. Then I looked at the code. OHMYGOODNESS. Have you guys every looked at the raw code left behind by these programs?
Let’s call drag and drop editors what they are. They are simply advanced shortcode programs (we have been using shortcodes forever) – that take typical code blocks – simplify them for ease of use, and quick placement. However they leave behind a great deal of bloat. Think about it – we trade standards compliant code, for a proprietary code, that is only useful with use of the governing plugin, to make life easier. For anyone that is concerned with code to text ratios or multiple http calls – this can be an issue. HOWEVER – life is not so bad anymore.
With the advent of http2 protocols, these things don’t matter anymore –
I like drag and drops – I use an Avada theme that has a really great drag and drop included – same issue – tons of bloat code – but easy to use – but I cloud host all my sites with an http2 protocol, so it just doesn’t matter anymore –
So I say this – GiddyUp
Andrew Peters says
That’s one of the things I love about beaver builder. The stuff that divi and visual composer add and leave begind isn’t an issue with BB.
Guy Ludig says
I think that Beaver is probably the best for WordPress beginners, but there are a lot of possibilities missing. I prefer VC (waiting for the new one that will be launched soonest) with a real frontend editor and DiVI. But as I mentioned they are perhaps overwhelming for beginners.
I never had problems with VC or Divi, but ok for slow servers they may become critical.
jayati Creative says
In my opinion Visual builder is heavy weight… it eats load on server
And I prefer siteorigin page builder as it has recently launched visual editing also.
Divi builder good for Divi theme only
eric says
do wordpress install have problems with multiple builders inside one installation?
Asumpta says
Thank you so much for this post. Has helped people like me struggling with code!
Jason says
What about Visual Composer. Which is better, Vissual composer or Wp Beaver Builder
Andrew Peters says
BB, hands down.
ejesh says
if there are free plugins why then buy?
Azrin says
Just use a divi plugins if you want to change theme. Should be an A+
LEOPOLDO PIRELA says
I have been using visual composer for about 2 years now. It is a good page builder, until I started to use Divi…….It really changed the way we can go from PSD to WordPress and create great websites. One of the things I like the most about it, is how fast it is compare to visual composer.
Raitis says
Hi Leopoldo, I believe you are talking what is now know as WPBakery Page Builder. The new product – Visual Composer Website Builder (pay attention to the website builder part) is a React-based solution which is fast
Would be great if you can try it out – I’m sure you will find a good fit for it.
Amelie Jons says
Hello Syed Balkhi,
Thanks for sharing this awesome collection of best drag and drop page builder plugins!!!
Beaver Builder is one of my favorite amongst all these plugins.
Keep updating.
Darron says
Velocity really?
no mention of KingComposer or Elementor?
Mohammmad chebaro says
Divi worth A+, it has live editing also. Many freebies and online communities. I vote DIVI all the way
TEEJ says
100% agree with you
Derek Brown says
100% Disagree. I had to remove DIVI from a multisite of over 30 sites because their tech support could not, and finally gave up fixing their blurbs element, which unfortunately I had used on every site. I move an install to staging for them to look at. 2 months later, as you can see, still no fix.
Now I am stuck with changing ALL sites to a new layout. Now that I have made that change I realize just how bloated and slow DIVI was. Upsets me that this product is on most page builder lists
Prince says
I didn’t see Visual Composer!
Edit and include it, then give it an A+
Vion says
Hi,
I’m looking for a way to add a nofollow to a link via page builder. I tried to activate some plugins for that but apparently no one is working.. Could you please tell me if there is a plug in which could do this?
Thanks
Lawrence ADEBOYE says
Thanks for the information
Sahrudin says
I love theme divi,, very easy drag drop bulider
Patricia says
Awesome list but I think Page Builder Sandwich should be there somewhere. It’s one of the newest and easiest frontend page builder plus real time editing.
Well, I am still quite new to WP but I can say that Page Builder Sandwich’s just like using MS Word.
