What is iThemes Builder

Although we think of it more as a web design tool, iThemes Builder is a powerful, flexible, easy-to-use WordPress theme designed to allow you to quickly build websites and blogs with WordPress. With Builder’s innovative Layout Engine, you can build almost any layout you’d like within minutes. Then bling out your site with graphics and styling.

We created Builder for ourselves … so we could rapidly build customized client sites. We think it’s the premiere tool for web designers who don’t want to mess with code … so you can focus on design and content.

I’m actually a boring accountant – I wear pinstripe pajamas, I have a dog called “Abacus” and I sleep with a calculator under my pillow – so if I can create and build websites with Builder, then anyone on the planet can! -Callum M., Builder customer

The reviews and testimonials

“Since iThemes release of Builder I am having a difficult time even considering any other theme to develop any of my or my client’s sites. It is completely versatile and yet allows me to add my own creativity as needed.

Combining Builder with my quick and simple low cost answers to building websites and blogs system, I can bring bigger, better and more powerful sites and blogs to my clients in even less time. Builder is easy for the developers during the design phase and offers endless options for meeting clients layout desires.

Builder is a website designer and developers dream come true.” –Kerry Carron

***

“When I recently found iThemes, I couldn’t write a single line of HTML and I thought CSS was a prefix for a US battleship. The fact that as a complete and utter novice I am now able to build my own websites – and recreate elements of other themes I have purchased, says a huge amount about what a fantastic, intuitive and easy to use product you and your team have both created and continue to develop. I am now able to build websites that previously I would have had to pay fairly significant amounts for – and would have had to continually pay for ongoing tweaks and changes.

I have been using and testing website building tools for many years now and have to say that Builder is by far the most innovative and novice-friendly tool I have ever seen. Please pass on my gratitude and congratulations for the achievements of your fantastic team!

Thanks again to you and Team iThemes for completely changing the scope of what I am able to achieve in both Web Design and its subsequent implementation. I’m actually a boring accountant – I wear pinstripe pajamas, I have a dog called “Abacus” and I sleep with a calculator under my pillow – so if I can create and build websites with Builder, then anyone on the planet can!

Warm regards from an avid iThemes supporter.” -–Callum MacLure
