What do you like best about Visual Composer?

The back end editor gives a lot of freedom in order to customize your page as you want without being to slow (this also depends on the server it runs). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visual Composer?

The time it takes to load when there is a lot of stuff to load is a lot. Also I would love a better approach of how to align each row for different devices. This can be fixed from a UI / UX prespective. The UI can be improved and be mordenized a little bit, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visual Composer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Speed in web design, with only a touch of CSS when it needs it. Also a good precision with enough functionality in order to create a good looking page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Visual Composer?

What I like most about Visual Composer is its price, since it is really low. Also, they offer lifetime updates and at least 6 months of totally free support. I also like the fact that it has pre-built templates, to easily adapt to your website. On the other hand, it has an undo and redo button, which are very useful in case you accidentally delete an item. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visual Composer?

The most recent WordPress update caused a crash in Visual Composer that prevented the website from opening, so we had to contact customer service for support and to be able to reestablish the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Visual Composer:

I recommend Visual Composer to people who lack coding skills. It is a software where you only have to drag and drop the elements. It is well priced and has an excellent customer service team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visual Composer solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Visual Composer I can edit my company's website in different resolutions, that is, how the website would look on a desktop computer or a mobile device for example. Also, I can add very useful elements like forms, maps and animated buttons, without having to code. The best thing is that they have extensive documentation and provide totally free technical support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Visual Composer?

Two things I like about the Visual Composer is that, It has wide range of third party addons available and very affordable in terms of price in personal use.

For the beginners it's very easy to use. It doesn't required much development knowledge to use this page builder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visual Composer?

There are couple of things that I do not like about Visual Composer page builder is customization options are very limited and there is no Undo button in builder that is most required features of any page builder.

It can be expensive if you want to use in multi sites or client work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Visual Composer:

Use it for every informative website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visual Composer solving and how is that benefiting you?

After using he Visual Composer we saved lots of task in development of pages and its section. Template manager features can be useful other pages which you wan t to user template part only by which it saves lots of time and you don't have to create every block again and again.

We are using visual composer to provide solutions to manage content which saved us and output better markups on frontends Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Visual Composer?

Visual Composer is an easy-to-use and implement tool. It can be installed through the WordPress directory with a few clicks. What I like most about this editor is that it allows me to preview the website in different resolutions, for example, mobile devices, tablets, or desktop computers, so I can give my website a responsive appearance. Most of its functions can be added by simply dragging and dropping onto the page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visual Composer?

There are no themes or templates available in the free version, so if you want to start from a pre-built design, you will need to obtain the paid license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Visual Composer:

I recommend trying the free version so you can use its features and gain your own user experience in the process of building your website. I believe it's worth acquiring the paid version if you want to implement advanced functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visual Composer solving and how is that benefiting you?

I mainly use Visual Composer to design the structure of my organization's website because I can easily drag and drop the elements. The biggest benefit is that it has developed functionalities or elements, like the Vimeo player, which we only have to embed on the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Visual Composer for many websites over the years but have now found that it has issues with themes and plugins alike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visual Composer?

I have problems with updates with Visual Composer. I find myself having to disable plugins as it conflicts with quite a few. And, it is not very theme friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Visual Composer:

I would research and test, test test before going live and make sure you check after any automatic updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Visual Composer?

This tool has made it much easier for me to create pages in Wordpress. You only need to add elements and add information without writing a line of code, just drag and drop. It is very easy to use and the results are really great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visual Composer?

I have had some errors when the internet connection is slow, the rest is very good. I wish that in some way you can undo the changes made by mistake, if so give you the maximum score. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Visual Composer:

This plugin has not disappointed me at any time and I am very satisfied with all the results. It is very easy to use, you do not need to configure anything and there is a lot of documentation. The free version is more than enough for most developments. Excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visual Composer solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the web pages that I develop in Wordpress I have never missed Visual Composer, since it has allowed me to make pages and add content in record time. I just have to drag and drop elements until I achieve the objectives. In my company is a plugin of mandatory use in all developments in Wordpress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Visual Composer?

Visual Composer gives you the ability to create attractive WP pages in a user-friendly interface. The interface focuses on the use of "blocks", which are effectively div's that can be styled automatically, without fidgeting with HTML, CSS, and JS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visual Composer?

Because of the super-friendly interface, it can be hard to make technical changes. If you need to make a change to the actual code, you have to go through a few different steps, or find a work-around for whatever is broken. This can be frustrating or confusing, so you need to be careful about any global changes you make to the website.

Also, some blocks or block contents are harder to implement than others, so you'll have to play around with the options to get a good feel for the process.

Though this will speed up your initial creation time, you may find it adding time down-stream. Whereas you used WordPress's "Edit this page" button to immediate make changes (such as broken links or copy edits), you'll now need to go into Visual Composer to make those changes, which will add a few more clicks to the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visual Composer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Visual Composer reduces dev time when building websites. As an agency, being able to produce functioning, attractive websites is our bread and butter. By reducing the amount of time it takes to create these websites, we can fit more projects into our schedule as well as reduce lead times for our clients. Visual Composer can speed up our web design process, allowing us to grow our revenue stream. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Visual Composer?

Making a page in Wordpress is much simpler and takes away many hours of work, you do not have to be an expert programmer or connoisseur of html or css to create really attractive pages. It is compatible with Wordpress shortcodes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visual Composer?

The free version lacks essential features and can not be used unless the premium version is purchased. You must avoid the abuse of components so as not to negatively affect the loading of the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Visual Composer:

I have been able to make my website quickly thanks to this great Wordpress plugin. I found it very easy to use because I only have to drag the components I want to incorporate into my page and that's it, that's that easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visual Composer solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a very powerful tool for website developers and for those people who want to start in the world of creating web pages using Wordpress. I use it to create the contents of my website since I am not an expert in html and css. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Visual Composer?

Since I met with Visual Composer, I can not separate myself from it, making a Wordpress website a child's play. Everything is done visually without touching a line of code, simply dragging components and building the page. Very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visual Composer?

I wish I had an option to undo the changes. You have to think well before inventing dragging things because you can damage the content and there is no going back to solve the changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Visual Composer:

The free version does practically everything. Highly recommended!. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visual Composer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Without a doubt it is a tool that greatly facilitates the development in Wordpress and this translates into less time when delivering web pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Visual Composer?

The ease of use. Even without development knowledge, websites are easy to build, and easy to teach clients how to edit for themselves. Plays well with other plugins. I've used visual composer with 5 websites in the last few months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visual Composer?

Using the page builder tends to make the websites noticeably slower, but with a lot of optimization and a little caching—it can work just fine.

I tend to get visual composer/wp bakery bundled up with wordpress themes, and support is much more limited in this approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Visual Composer:

Don't hesitate, just get it. I'd take this any day over squarespace or wix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visual Composer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rapid building websites for clients with limited budgets. After created custom/saved sections/templates, anyone on the team can quickly make additional pages—while keeping the overall design consistent.

I love the ability to edit with both the front-end/back-end editor. As a developer, its easiest for me to use the back-end view, but most of my clients flourish off the front-end view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
