"Legacy", but very good

By Adrian (Adrian2k7) on June 12, 2025

Despite using the block editor on any (new) website, I'm still using SiteOrigin's on 3 customers pages (since 8+ years) …

The developers have done a very good job in developing a clean, easily usable and esp. non-techy-user-friendly editor. Like others (i.e. Elementor), this editor is not bloated, just works (never had any problems) and has a very good feature set.

Beyond Expectation Support

By adventurousghost on November 26, 2024

Great plugin, especially with premium add-ons. But what makes it the best is their AMAZING other worldly support.

Works well but too many updates

By paulstenning on March 24, 2024

This plugin works well and is fully supported, but the amount of updates is excessive - 9 so far this year. This can make it more difficult to ensure our websites are kept up to date.

Great plugin

By gertjuergensen on February 18, 2024

It works as promised. I am extremely satisfied with this plugin.

Always Great

By DB (destructiveburn) on April 14, 2023

I've been using SiteOrigin for 5 years now. Not officially at the beginning with SiteOrigin as my theme had a forked version of it, but I easily moved over to the official one, this one within a year later or so later. Anyway, been using Page Builder by SiteOrigin, SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle, and of course SiteOrigin Premium with 0 issues, and just all work with Classic and TinyMCE.

It's my permanent building structure. So long as they permanently keep supporting Classic Editor / Classic Widgets

The best free page builder

By Rana (jayantkumarrana) on January 25, 2023

The basic page builder is quite good for starters. Very well documented with support. I hope they adapt more features from other popular plugins.

Great Page builder (easy to use) & best support

By Sparen on December 20, 2022

Siteorigin really does a great job by developing & upgrade their plugins and support the wordpress community!

Stable. Fast devs/support

By jackmclean on October 14, 2022

Best page builder

Buggy

By wordcrunch on August 12, 2022

Not compatible with visual editor. Widgets using page builder cause all sorts of incredibly difficult-to-diagnose errors, especially after migrations. Needs a lot of work.

Great plugin, excellent support...

By Terry J (texasbiz) on July 15, 2022

Have used this plugin off and on for few years. It is the best free page builder plugin on the WP repository. Had few issues (totally expected) time to time but nothing one cannot overcome:)
