The WordPress page builder that respects your code
SiteOrigin Page Builder is a free WordPress plugin for building custom page layouts. Clean HTML, works with any theme, and never locks you in. Trusted by over 500,000 sites.
The Widget-Centric Paradigm
A layout engine, not a design prison
Page Builder orchestrates standard WordPress widgets within a responsive grid. Your content remains portable. Change themes, switch builders, or deactivate the plugin without losing your work.
No Lock-In, Ever
Unlike proprietary builders that store content in custom formats, Page Builder uses standard WordPress widgets. Deactivate the plugin and your content degrades gracefully, not catastrophically.
Core Web Vitals Ready
Generates 5-100x less HTML than visual builders. Your pages score better on PageSpeed Insights without optimization plugins.
Theme Neutral
Works within any theme's content loop. Your theme controls fonts, colors, and spacing. The builder just handles structure.
Genuinely Free
Core features aren't crippled. No artificial page limits, no "upgrade to unlock," no premium-only widgets. Use on unlimited sites.
Developer Friendly
Extensive hooks and filters. Build custom widgets using the SiteOrigin Widget framework. Modify row markup to match your CSS framework.

Create Your Grid
Add rows to define horizontal sections. Each row can have custom backgrounds, padding, and full-width or boxed layouts.
Define Columns
Split rows into columns with precise ratios (50/50, 60/40, 33/33/33, or any custom split). Columns stack responsively on mobile.
Drop In Widgets
Place any WordPress widget or SiteOrigin Widget inside columns. Drag to reorder. It's that simple.
<!-- No div soup, no bloat -->
<div class="panel-grid">
<div class="panel-row">
<div class="panel-cell">
<!-- Your widget -->
</div>
</div>

WordPress.org Reviews
What builders are saying
Real five-star reviews from the WordPress.org plugin directory.
“I'm still using SiteOrigin's on 3 customers pages since 8+ years. The developers have done a very good job in developing a clean, easily usable and non-techy-user-friendly editor. This editor is not bloated, just works and has a very good feature set.”
“I've been using SiteOrigin for 5 years now. Been using Page Builder, Widgets Bundle, and SiteOrigin Premium with zero issues. It's my permanent building structure. So long as they keep supporting Classic Editor, I'm a lifelong user.”
