179 +
180 += What is the difference between Visual Composer Website Builder and WPBakery Page Builder? =
181 +
182 +Although they are different site builders, both Visual Composer and WPBakery are designed to allow WordPress users to build websites. However, the difference is the performance, functionality, and features that each of these builders offers. Visual Composer Website Builder allows you to build a complete website. 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.

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.
