Offsprout Page Builder

Description

What Is the Offsprout Page Builder?

Simply put, Offsprout is the first WordPress page builder built specifically for design agencies and freelancers. And it is white-labeled out of the box.

While every other page builder focuses on being the best tool for a non-technical person to build their own website, Offsprout’s sole focus is helping design agencies and freelancers rapidly build and manage client sites.

Offsprout Page Builder Features

• Unsplash stock photo integration with over 800,000 images
• Centralized style management that allows to you update fonts, colors, and even button style and row/section style throughout your site from a single place

2. After activating Offsprout, navigate to the settings page at Settings > Page Builder to configure the post types you would like it to work with.

FAQ

How is Offsprout better than other page builders for design agencies and freelancers?

Having come from the agency world ourselves, we know the tasks that take a long time. Offsprout focuses on centralizing design and reuse of design elements, so that sites have better design consistency and can be updated throughout with minimal effort. As just one example, Offsprout allows you to design multiple button skins that can be re-used throughout your site.

Can I white-label Offsprout?

Offsprout comes with zero branding right out of the gate. We don’t want to come between you and your clients!

Best Page Builder

acabasso November 11, 2017

I’ve tried a lot of different page builder plugins, and this was by far the best. I run a web design agency, and we build websites for businesses of all different sizes. We have designers of different skill levels, from more junior designers to experts. For me, it’s important that my team have tools that can help us more easily build great-looking websites. After trying out all the options out there, it’s clear that Offsprout is perfect for us. It has everything I’ve been searching for. It’s a super-fast and responsive drag-and-drop editor. It displays changes we make in real-time, letting us see changes without having to save or update the entire page. Also, in the past, one thing that’s taken a lot of time for us is “reinventing the wheel” with new projects by having to recreate pages and page sections with elements we’ve used in other projects. But with Offsprout, its page and section template features make everything so much quicker to do. It saves us a lot of time and expense on our projects. And it’s not just the page templates that are great. The section templates are also a great feature. We can reuse specific page elements again and again, another huge time saver. Also, whenever we’ve had questions, support has been super-responsive and helpful. I just can’t say enough good things about Offsprout.
