Zen Addons for SiteOrigin Page Builder is a curated set of 36 widget extensions built on the official SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle framework. SiteOrigin Page Builder is fast and dependable, but its stock widgets can look dated. Zen Addons fills that gap with modern, sleek widgets that look polished out of the box and stay lightweight. It adds the practical, everyday building blocks most sites actually need, from tabs, accordions, and pricing tables to FAQ sections with Schema.org markup, team grids, testimonials, and video lightboxes, so you can build richer pages inside SiteOrigin without reaching for a heavier page builder. Every widget is designed to be clean, accessible, and easy to style. Widgets render with semantic HTML, follow ARIA best practices, and stay out of your way: nothing loads on the front end unless a widget that needs it is actually placed on the page. Built for the SiteOrigin workflow Zen Addons plugs directly into Page Builder by SiteOrigin and the SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle. All Zen Addons widgets are grouped under their own “ZASO Widgets” tab in the widget picker, so they are easy to find and never get lost among the core widgets.

Under Plugins > SiteOrigin Widgets, where you can turn individual widgets on or off. You can also manage every Zen Addons widget from one place under the Zen Addons menu in your WordPress admin sidebar. The widgets are not listed under Appearance > Widgets, because they are built specifically for the SiteOrigin builder. Standards Semantic, neatly structured HTML. Accessible markup following ARIA best practices. SEO-friendly output. Front-end assets load only on pages where a Zen Addons widget is used. Requirements WordPress 5.5 or later and PHP 7.4 or later.
