Templatera – Template Manager for Visual Composer What users are saying?
“WordPress can be limiting to the average users when it comes to how you want your page layout to look. Even though you can do anything with HTML and CSS, most users do not know these coding languages. That’s where Visual Composer for WordPress can help.
Visual Composer transforms the default WordPress page editor into a robust feature-rich editor that allows you to add columns, image galleries, accordions, tour sections, call-to-action buttons, videos, and much more.” – Haris Bacic, Forbes.com
“This plugin is the best thing to happen to WordPress since the invention of WordPress.” – jeffreysummers
“Just downloaded this today and am loving it – would you believe I knocked out 5 pages on a site in less than 10 minutes?!? AWESOME!” – theaer
“I’m loving this plug-in. But more importantly the customer support has been Stellar!!!!” – Matt Harper
“WOW. Thanks for being born! I just downloaded the plugin without thinking twice.” – Chip
“Anyone not sure of purchasing this, needs to stop and just go buy it, this is truly one awesome product and makes creating a static homepage a breeze with some amazing results.” – RedDan
Extendable Theme authors requested this feature and it’s finally here. Now you can extend Visual Composer with your own set of shortcodes. Define them in themes functions.php everything else Visual Composer will handle automatically. Start creating “Visual Composer ready” themes!
Thank you, Michael
