Page Builder

The WordPress Page Builder plugin is a work of art when it comes to WP development.

The plugin greatly simplifies the process of putting dynamic WordPress websites together, allowing administrators to easily create widgetized pages.

Page Builder works by adding a special button to the native WordPress WYSIWYG editor, which when pushed activates a special editing mode where the site's owner can create modular pages containing one or more columns and rows.

Inside these content cells the user can add his content with the help of WordPress widgets.

All widgets that are active, present, and accessible through the native WordPress Widgets interface will be available in the Page Builder interface also, working practically the same way.

Installation:

Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.

Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
