Create custom page layouts, design unique headers, footers, and sidebars. For more information, here is a comparison of [Visual Composer Website Builder vs WPBakery Page Builder](https://visualcomposer.com/visual-composer-vs-wpbakery-review/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=free-download&utm_content=visual-composer-website-builder-vs-wpbakery-page-builder-text-link).
183 +
184 += Do I need coding experience? =
185 +
186 +No, not at all. Visual Composer page builder is a good fit for both experts and beginners. With an intuitive drag and drop interface and with a range of pre-designed templates and content elements you can convert your imagination into a real website.
187 +
188 += Does Visual Composer Website Builder work with any WordPress theme? =
189 +
190 +What does “properly coded theme” means? A theme that follows official WordPress Codex rules and guidelines.
191 +
192 += Can I insert 3rd party shortcodes into Visual Composer Website Builder? =
193 +
194 +Yes! Visual Composer Website Builder includes a shortcode element that allows you to add any 3rd party shortcode into your layout.
195 +
196 += Do you have a Premium version available? =
197 +
198 +Yes! The Premium version comes with world-class support and access to Visual Composer Hub where you can download additional elements, templates, addons, and integrations.
199 +
200 += What is the difference between the Free and Premium versions? =
201 +
202 +Visual Composer Free version is the ultimate page builder to get your web design project started. Visual Composer Premium unlocks a full website builder experience and gives you unlimited access to the Visual Composer Hub (a cloud marketplace of elements, templates, extensions, and integrations).
203 +
204 += Can I edit the Header, Footer, and Sidebar? =
205 +
206 +Yes! Header, Footer, Sidebar, and overall theme edit and design options are available in the Visual Composer Website Builder Premium version.
207 +
208 += Can I create a landing page with Visual Composer? =
209 +
210 +Yes! The free page builder version comes with a blank page layout option that allows you to create a complete landing page from scratch or by using one of the Visual Composer Hub templates. You can create a landing page on your existing site and it will completely stand out from the rest of your pages - perfect for running your marketing campaigns.
211 +
212 += Is Visual Composer a page builder or website builder? =
213 +
214 +It is both! Visual Composer’s free version works like a page builder where you have full control over the content area defined by your WordPress theme. Want to design a full site including headers and footers? Choose Visual Composer premium as it allows you to go beyond the content area and create a full site just like you want it.
