Introduction
WordPress has built a veritable empire on the foundations of user-friendliness, flexibility and depth of customisation. With that said, however, you do need to have at least some experience in coding, or be willing to seek out a specialist to get the most out of the platform. Despite this, many intrepid users would rather take on the task single-handedly.
This has given rise to the plethora of ‘Drag & Drop’ WordPress Page Builders. Some of these plugins are free, some are paid, but the best of them allow you to build professional websites quickly, with no previous coding or design experience needed.
Here are Kaira’s favourite WordPress Page Builders (in no particular order):

Page Builder by SiteOrigin
With intuitiveness at its core, Page Builder by SiteOrigin makes building responsive grid-based page content that adapts to mobile devices with pixel-perfect precision simple. It enhances WordPress’s existing editing features without being confusing or cluttering the interface. The software offers:
- A simple ‘Drag & Drop’ interface for all experience levels, without users needing to have prior coding knowledge.
- Page Builder will integrate with your website’s existing WordPress theme. This means that your content is never in danger of being lost when it’s time for a design refresh.
- You’ll still be able to use your favourite widgets, and Page Builder has a number of integrated plugins to give you more control and customisation features.
- The software also generates and optimizes every line of code on your website page.
What Page Builder says: Simple content creation interface. Instantly recognizable. Astonishingly different. It’s a whole new dimension to content creation that’ll help you create your home, contact, about us or any other page where a linear layout won’t convey your message. It’s a powerful enhancement to the WordPress content editing experience, yet it feels entirely familiar.
Page Builder is free and that’s not going to change anytime soon. You can install it on as many sites as you like, and you don’t have to concern yourself with licenses or renewals. You can download the software here and watch the demonstration here.
