Zion Builder in action – TRY IT NOW WORDPRESS PAGE BUILDER FEATURES Elements and templates at your fingertips Add elements and pre-made templates right where you need them from the page builder “Add Elements” Popup. This popup gives access to pre-made layouts, elements, and to the Library System. Unified system of options Every element has the same easy to use and intuitive options pattern found in the “Element Options” panel. It consists of 3 main tabs: general, styling and advanced. The general tab contains options specific to the edited element, the style tab contains options that can be used to style every aspect of the element while the advanced tab contains options for changing the element name, id, animations and more. Global styles To apply the same styles on multiple elements, Global CSS Classes were implemented. They can be styled either from the page options panel or from the Element options panel. No coding skills required. Live responsive editing Visually decide the sizes, colors, or positioning of the elements for each screen. This means that any changes made to the mobile view, will only appear on that device and it will not affect the other devices, which will still maintain the original design options. Custom rich text on click The inline editor is triggered on text click and provides options such as font family, size, weight, spacing, alignment, or text-transform. It can also be dragged anywhere on the screen so it doesn’t interfere with the design. Gradient background Multiple gradients may be layered by making use of color opacity. When set a lower opacity of gradient colors, other gradient layers become visible. This is a powerful and unique feature that lets you add a distinctive touch to your design. History of actions Saving system, history of your actions, post revisions, users permissions, or easily discard changes give you the power of becoming the sole creator of your website. Shortcuts for undo and redo are also available. Design features The following extra design features come built-in the Panel Element Options: Blending Background, ColorPicker, Pseudo – selectors, Element’s motion control, Flexbox control, Powerful background image, Filters, Borders, Shadows, Typography, Transform, Transitions. Library system It contains the actions needed to import and export library parts and access to Zion library that provides hundreds of pre-made templates. Dragging size and spacing Live edit the margins, padding and size by dragging the element outline toolbar. Moving elements Repositioning the elements is done with simple dragging and dropping anywhere in the page or in the tree-view. A blueish line is the hint of the new position. Keyboard shortcuts The most used and intuitive keys were implemented to ensure the accessibility of user actions. Discard changes A unique feature of Zion Builder is the “display” of a green dot showing the options that have changed. No more looking around to check each option to see if it was changed. Top right toolbar shortcuts This toolbar appears only when hovering an element and gives the possibility to access the options panel, to save, hide, duplicate, or delete the element. Custom workspace The user is able to open, close, drag, and resize the panels according to his needs. The main panel can be dragged on the left or right side of the page. Right click actions By right clicking on an element ( from the preview page or tree view panels ) a custom menu appears with the main set of actions needed: copy, edit, remove, duplicate, hide, save, cut, discard, and copy element styles. Searchable options We implemented a search system so that you can easily find any option needed. No more looking around the options panel to search the exact option. This greatly improves the learning curve for new users. Flexbox control Control the alignment of your content ( the child or the parent elements ) to be vertical, horizontal, or center. All the flex-box rules are implemented in the display section of Panel Element Options. Pseudo-selectors “Hover” state of an element combined with the independent composition of elements brings a powerful design that otherwise would have been achieved only with custom code. Element’s motion control From the advanced tab in the edit element panel, you can add movement to the elements. There are ready to use animations such as fade, slide, zoom, etc. An animated element will start it’s animation only when it is visible on the page. Post revisions The builder uses the WordPress revisions feature. With each page save, a new page revision is also created allowing the user to go to a previous version of the page. Extendable options Built with PHP and Vue JS, the builder can be easily extended by adding new elements, adding new option types and custom conditions for the theme builder. Renaming elements Locating the correct element to interact with can be difficult when developing a complex web page. So you can rename your elements to get easily identified. On top of this, each element can be identified by its unique icon. RTL support Zion Page Builder supports RTL which is vital for languages that are read from right-to-left (rather than left-to-right).
