Visual Composer Website Builder Review

Intuitive Drag-And-Drop User Interface

Visual Composer Website Builder aims to help you create websites and pages on WordPress fast and easy. Whether you are a beginner or a professional, the website builder adapts to your learning curve and level of expertise. With this plugin, you can create a website even if you’re not a web developer or a tech-savvy person. In other words, it makes web development and designing simple.

Thanks to its drag-and-drop interface which makes you move elements across a page and manage your layout easily and quickly. Visual Composer’s user interface is also configurable. As an example, you can control how you want to navigate through your layout by setting the navigation at the left, top, right, or bottom of the layout.

The simple user interface permits the duplication of any element, column or row with just a single click. The default names of elements can be renamed so you can navigate through your layout quickly. In addition, you’ll be able to hide and unhide the elements on a website.

Edit Content From Mobile Devices

You can edit the content of your website from your mobile devices. This is because Visual Composer has a responsive mobile UI (mobile user interface) which makes the management of content through smartphones and tablets a breeze.

Frontend And Backend Editors

Visual Composer is equipped with frontend and backend editors which make it easy for you to create your website, and manage its layout, content, and elements. Its frontend editor is actually a live WYSIWYG  (What You See Is What You Get) editor. This means all of the changes you make will instantly take effect within the editor, and you’ll be able to see how your website and its content will look like when it is published.

On the other hand, Visual Composer’s backend editor is a schematic editor which lets you create and edit the content of your website directly from the admin dashboard of WordPress. This editor shows the structure of your content as rows, columns, and content blocks; and it is very helpful in creating an initial structure for your website or working with landing pages, which contain a large amount of content.

Rich Content Elements

When you build a website using Visual Composer, you can access a comprehensive list of ready-to-use content elements to enhance your website and achieve brand design consistency. These premium and well-crafted content elements include text blocks, images, hero sections, buttons, icons, default and custom WordPress widgets, and social media widgets. Also, before you add a particular element to your website, you’ll be able to preview it first.

Advanced Design Options

In Visual Composer, you’ll have the freedom to create and design the layout you want for your website. The page builder provides you with advanced design options which permit you to control padding, margin, border, radius, and more. For instance, it has an easy-to-use shape divider which allows you to divide the sections of a website; and apply colors, gradients, image backgrounds, or videos to shapes.

Customizing a background is one of the powerful design options available in Visual Composer. As an example, you can customize a background by turning it into a beautiful and smooth carousel slideshow. You can also apply parallax effects to the backgrounds of your sections, columns, or rows; or a zoom in/out effect to give your website a dynamic look and attract the attention of your visitors.

Automatic Mobile Responsiveness

Visual Composer permits you to create a mobile-friendly website. It has an intelligent system that automatically makes your website mobile-responsive right from the start. If you want to control the responsiveness of your website, the plugin also makes that possible.  You can adjust the responsiveness settings for every type of device. For instance, you’ll be able to hide elements or adjust the spaces for desktop, tablets, or phones.

Works With Any WordPress Theme

To wrap it up, Visual Composer can be used with any WordPress theme. You can switch between themes without losing the previous content you created from WordPress’ classic or default editor. This is because the website builder has the capability to recognize and convert an existing content.
