Visual Composer for WordPress: A quick overview

Let's take a quick overview of Visual Composer, the pioneer of visual editing for WordPress

Specifically designed to simplify the life of the inexperienced user and to speed up the editing approach of the more experienced one, Visual Composer is a reference plugin in the WordPress market, developed by WPBakery with the aim of giving a visual approach to the many functions of the CMS for which it would be necessary to work with the HTML or CSS code.
Visual Composer: can it help me?

Visual Composer has an intuitive and quick approach to all of those editing functions which allow the shrewd user to transform a block of text without art or part into a concentrate of usable information, pleasing to the eye and easy to scroll through. Not a small added value, in an era where everything must be "fast".

Il Visual Composer is a WordPress plugin (downloadable from the official site) which performs the task of providing a palette of ready-made tools that can be taken and dragged onto the white canvas of the page to transform it as you like. The "drag & drop" system allows you to move the elements you want to introduce, so as to integrate them into the text of the article or web page.

Visual Composer replaces the regular WordPress editor and works so well that many premium themes integrate it into their service package for an even greater level of convenience. Check out ThemeForest premium themes and see for yourself.

Visual Composer is also considered one of the first page builders, which is a rather generic term to identify all those WP extensions that help the user to create professional pages for their web spaces. Visual Composer was the Page Builder par excellence and paved the way for the very large selection of visual tools we can choose from today.

Is Visual Composer compatible with Gutenberg?

After months of uncertainties and problems, Visual Composer Premium is finally compatible with Gutenberg and allows the user to exploit the "block system" of the new WordPress editor within the page, without Visual Composer causing compatibility problems to the entire system and pre-existing pages.

How exactly does Visual Composer work?

Being a plugin, Visual Composer requires a quick installation to get up and running on WordPress systems right away. By creating a new environment, it is possible to take advantage of a practical block system to go and design the structure of the blank page. Just click on "Add item" to let yourself be overwhelmed - don't panic! – from a plethora of functions and options to customize the web page to the maximum. With the practical search button you can skim the functions according to your needs and go and select the one you deem the best for your needs.

Visual Composer therefore does not require previous knowledge of coding, making it the ideal tool even for beginner users. Among the main functions of Visual Composer, both frontend and backend, we mention those for text blocks, function buttons for social media, video players, carousels for images and graphics.

Visual Composer is an effective system and adapts to the "liquid needs" of modern websites. This means that it is the perfect tool for creating captivating websites that are seen well not only from a certain browser on a PC, but also from tablets and smartphones. Not a small added value for a tool that, in its Premium version, has a truly affordable price.
