WPBakery Page Builder WordPress Plugin Review
Today I’m going to review one of the most popular premium WordPress plugins of all time! If you’re currently frustrated because you’re trying to build beautiful looking landing pages for WordPress, and don’t have the biggest budget, then you might love this.
Release Date:
The WPBakery Page Builder By WPBakery launched Wednesday May 11th 2011. (The plugin has been updated countless times since then, lol).
WPBakery Page Builder Overview:
The WPBakery Page Builder, according to my own independent research, is one of the most popular page builder addon plugins for WordPress. In fact, this plugin has been purchased well over 300,000 (that’s three hundred thousand) times.
The reason why I find this to be particularly impressive, is because this equates to there being an absolutely massive community of like-minded users, which of course adds to all of the already existing content, support, and tutorials by WPBakery.
The Vendor:
WPBakery is one of the most popular WordPress teams that I’ve personally ever known of. The WPBakery Page Builder is literally one of the most popular premium plugins for WordPress, and as a result, the WPBakery team has devoted a ton of work in order to create really awesome customer support, and tutorials.
If you’ve ever been frustrated because you’ve experienced abandon-ware style apps in the past, then WPBakery might just be the company you’ve been looking for.
My Favorite Features:
Probably my favorite feature of WPBakery Page Builder is that it’s ridiculously popular, which as a result there is a ton of tutorials, a large community, and plenty of support available if you ever need any help using the Plugin.
Another really cool thing is that plenty of heavy hitting companies trust this plugin, including ASUS, Bloomberg, DHL, and other ridiculously large brands.
A Closer Look Into Some Of The Features:
Functionality with just about any WordPress theme. So if you already have a theme that you love, you can still use WPBakery Page Builder right on top of it.
Ample SEO integration, so you never have to worry about your site being seen by Google ,Yahoo, and others.
The ability to drag and drop beautiful blog page designs without knowing a single line of code.
Powerful done for you templates. So if you don’t have a graphic design based bone in your body, you can still craft really cool looking pages.
WOO Commerce functionality, so you can promote your own products, e-commerce goods, books, courses, or even affiliate offers.
Value Rating:
The value rating for WPBakery Page Builder is absolutely tremendous, simply because of all of the different features and done for you layouts available within the plugin. The WPBakery Page Builder plugin boasts well over 2,000,000+ (two million) installs, and is arguably one of the most popular front end page builders on the planet, not simply for WordPress.
Another really cool selling point for WPBakery Page Builder, is that it’s relatively cheap compared to many competitors. In fact, you might find that unlike other page building tools, WPBakery Page Builder doesn’t require any ongoing cost, and is just a onetime sunken cost.
There is a caveat to this of course, because WPBakery only offers roughly 6 months of support with the initial license purchase. You can purchase extended support if you wish, however, please be advised that the software is relatively easy to use, and there are also a ton of other tutorials and support features available.
You might be wondering, “Why do they charge more for support?”, and the answer is because support is expensive. A lot of software vendors do NOT charge for support, however, in many cases, they will offer substandard support, or even worse, end up abandoning the app eventually. (And this is coming from someone with ample IT and tech support experience).
WPBakery Page Builder Is NOT For You If:
- If you don’t use WordPress, and have no intention of using WordPress, then you don’t need this plugin.
- If you already have an awesome page builder that is easy to use, then you don’t need this plugin.
- If you’re not really into blogging, designing, page building, or anything related to the world of blogging, then you could probably skip this.
WPBakery Page Builder IS For You If:
- If you’re frustrated because you have no clue how to build amazingly beautiful pages with WordPress, and want to make cool WordPress pages without having to know how to program a single line of code.
- If you’ve tried other page builders before, but you found the cost to be far too expensive for what you got.
- If you’re new to the blogging world and quickly discovered that your pages just don’t look cool, beautiful, awesome, or amazing, and you want to change that!
My Closing Thoughts Regarding WPBakery Page Builder
I’ve been building websites since I was a tiny little kid, and I’ve been experimenting with WordPress since at least June of 2010.
Sine that time, I’ve personally designed a massive boatload of websites, and have struggled massively in an effort to make my blog look at least halfway passable (lol).
That’s why I understand how frustrating it can be when your pages just don’t look awesome.
Because if you’ve ever bent over backwards in an effort to create amazing content, then you at least want the page to look good.
Because if it doesn’t look cool? Then you’ll never have the confidence required to share that content with your friends, social media followers, email subscribers, and so on.
So I honestly believe, that we writers and bloggers live in fantastic times.
There’s never, ever been a better time to be a writer.
And thankfully, these days, there are so many awesome tools that can help you to build really awesome looking pages, using 100% drag and drop tools.
In my humble advice, WPBakery Page Builder is a worthy addition to your WordPress arsenal, and at the very least it’s worth checking out if you’ve ever been depressed when trying to make really cool looking pages using WordPress.
