Live Composer

What Live Composer is

Live Composer is a free, open-source WordPress page builder for editing pages on the front end. In version 2.0, users can select elements on a page, change them, and see the result there without opening a separate preview. Editing tools include a searchable sidebar, pop-up module settings, drag-to-reorder controls, module duplication, and undo and redo. Layout controls let users set margins and padding separately, choose units, and adjust row, container, and module widths. The builder supports dynamic content and works with most modern WordPress themes, though its maker recommends a clean theme designed to work well with page builders. Existing layouts made in Live Composer 1.x can still be edited in version 2.0.

Live Composer includes WooCommerce tools for customizing product and shop templates and is compatible with popular SEO plugins such as Yoast SEO. Its paid extensions add modules for custom fields, custom post types, mega menus, third-party sliders, Google Maps, galleries, and video embeds. The Official Extensions Pack does not include the WooCommerce Page Builder Integration. Extensions are updated through WordPress admin after a license is entered. Free users can refer to usage and developer documentation and a public Facebook community; premium support is for buyers of the Pro Extensions Pack or WooCommerce Extension. The maker describes same-day email support, 12 months of subscription updates, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Plans start at $69 a year for one site.

Who it suits

Live Composer suits WordPress site owners who want to edit page elements directly on the page, with layout controls and support for dynamic content. Its paid extensions are described as designed for agencies, freelancers, and growing websites that need additional modules or premium support.

Limits

The free Live Composer 2.0 plan is the open-source page builder. The paid extensions plans cover one site for $69 a year, 2–5 sites for $99 a year, or unlimited sites for $149 a year; the Official Extensions Pack includes 12 months of support and updates and a 30-day refund.
