Thank you for sharing the valuable information about visual composer…
Yeah, visual composer is only the plugin which is very simple and easy to operate.
You can design your website through the visual composer by adding simple rows and other tools within it.
Nowadays, everyone is using visual composer especially the beginners who are at the beginning stage of website creation.
Thanks, Udit, hope to see one of your themes with Visual Composer bundled soon 🙂
Hi,
I’m little confused.
Can we purchase visual composer developer and integrated it in our themes(themeforest)?
Because lately you allowed only the basic version by purscasing the extended lisense from themeforest.
I want to include visual composer and not WP bakery.
In fact, you can do it for free (free version). The only restriction to your users will be access to the Hub and Support. But with the API you can develop a set of custom elements – exclusive to your theme so this will lower Hub issue for them. In addition, feel free to join our affiliate program and if users decide to upgrade to the Premium you will get an additional bonus.
Hi Linda
There’s something confusing for me.
I’m using your plugin WPBakery Page Builder. I’ve paid for support.
The theme is OptimizeWP, which is not fully compatible with WPBakery P.B. For instance, the TAB ELEMENTS are very basic.
So, my idea is swept out OptimizeWP and use Visual Composer Starter Theme.
Do you give support for this theme?
Do I need something else?
I did not find documentation of this theme in your website.
Thanks
Yes, you can use this theme with WPBakery Page Builder too. But we recommend using the Visual Composer Website Builder because it’s the new product.
How can i download free visual composer website builder.I like to learn this.
Hi Bharat, you can download the free version website builder from here: https://visualcomposer.com/download/
I used visual composer its really amazing builder. We can make a beautiful website by using this composer. Than you admin for this composer.
Thanks for the nice words. Feel free to share your website so we can look into what you’ve created with Visual Composer.
Hi Linda Thanks for this article but I have questions for you. Where did you find this information “grow your sales up to 400% by offering more” Is it your case study ? or got information from some source. Last question ” win-win” means, either way, you are going to win right…..
Hi Nishant, we made the research on sales for themes with and without builder integration. Themes with builder integration are way more popular in terms of sales.
“Win-win” means that all parties benefit from the collaboration. Theme authors get a high-quality builder for free, customers receive builder straight from the theme, and we receive additional user that may want to convert to Premium at some point.
Its great ,I used visual composer its really amazing builder.thanks
visual composer is really an amazing builder, I used it.

Hi there, I’ve always been a huge fan of Visual Composer since I stared using WordPress. I’m planning to develop a new theme and integrate Visual Composer for my page builder. I basically want to offer all existing VC features to my users + build custom theme elements on top of VC, without prompting my users anytime to do a premium upgrade. Do you think I should purchase your developer license in this case? I just wanted to know what other benefits I get by buying your developer license (other than 40+ content elements vs 100+ content elements) compared to using the free version you mentioned here. Appreciate your response at the earliest. Thanks a lot!
Developers license is designed for those who do websites for clients on a daily basis. Developers license will allow you to activate Visual Composer Website Builder premium on your clients’ websites. For theme integration, we suggest integrating free version, extend it with your custom elements (if needed) and then let your users decide to go premium or not. On top of that, you can earn even more with our affiliate program.
visual composer is really an amazing builder, I used it.
Thank you for the kind words!
Thanks for doing such a great work! I’ve used WPBakery for some time and it’s awesome! Especially with some custom CSS, you can create beautiful things. I’ve just started using Visual Composer and this one is even more awesome,
I’m working on a new theme design and I would like to include Visual Composer in my theme, so that it appears as a required plugin to install. Do you have a guide or tips on how to do this?
Thanks! Ralph
Thanks, Ralph for the awesome feedback! Since Visual Composer Website Builder is GPL your a more than welcome to simply include it with TGMPA class and extend with help of our API https://visualcomposer.com/help/api/
Please share your end result with us really interesting what you will come up with.
Thank you for you help! I’ll let you know when I’ve finished. It’s a side project for now????. My personal hobby website is ready, that’s http://www.creativecreators.nl . Take a look if you want! Thanks, Ralph
Hello Visual Composer Team,
Thanks for Building an amazing Page Builder. I Have design Many Sites with WordPress Theme Containing and Compatible with Visual Composer.
Thanks Again
Thanks, that means a lot to us! Are you ok with sharing some of the works you’ve done with Visual Composer?
Visual Composer is very good and amazing builder. I personally loved it.
Thank you Aashish, have you created any custom elements or plugin for the Visual Composer Website Builder?
Thanks for building this page
Hi There,
I am Elite Author at themeforest.net, I cam considering to integrate your visual composer website builder to replace WpBackery page builder, But your policy is not clear, even you people have not answered any query related to theme integration of premium version clearly, Please elaborate, do we allowed to integrate and bundle premium version in our theme by purchasing developer license or not. If allowed, please elaborate on how your license system works.
Hi Muhammad, Thank you for the question!
You can integrate Visual Composer Website Builder free version and include it with your theme. It goes without saying that you can bring more value to your users and extend the free version with your own elements (with help of our API). Your customers, will have access to updates and will always have the latest version. They could also decide and upgrade to our Premium license (to get support directly from us and access to Visual Composer Hub). As a result, you as a theme developer will give your users great page builder at no extra costs to you, we on the other hand could benefit if your users will convert to our paying customers.
Deveopers license is for contractors and agencies that do website for their clients. Developers license owner can activate it on the clients websites, but only by logging into your Visual Compser account.
I will be happy to answer additional questions if you have any.
Have a great day!
Michael Makijenko,
Thank you for responding to me, well we always encourage the user to purchase a separate license, but for this query, looks like its somehow possible to bundle premium version and generate the activation key for buyers via our support desk, my concern is, do you allow this type of configuration or not. The buyer always feel convenient to purchase after testing the item.
still waiting for response!
As of now, there’s no way to provide your buyers with license keys for their activation. We are looking into this and may have a solution designed for themeforest authors.
On the other side, Visual Composer Website Builder free version is extremely powerful and not so limited as others 🙂
any way to convert custom elements from wpbackery page builder to the visual composer, I mean it is not convenient to invest more time again for the functionality we already made for wpbackery page builder.
Muhammad, jump into our slack.visualcomposer.com or Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/VisualComposers it will be easier to chat there.
With Visual Composer Website Builder, we solved what community was asking for a long time. We are not using WordPress native shortcodes for content storage. This is one of the reasons, why there’s no “convert” tool available. You should look at Visual Composer Website Builder as a completely independent product, it was written from scratch with all the experience that we gained over the years.
Thanks for creating an amazing page builder. I build my home page using it
Thank you for using our builder! We’re glad you enjoy it. 🙂
