@nucro yes! Beaver Builder is totally compatible with WPML. You can more on the integration here:

Huge fan of this plugin. We use it on a lot of client sites and they non technical clients really prefer using its interface over the the WP one
I can vouch for @robbymccullough and his team. They have done a phenomenal job with this one. Probably one of the most recommended WP Page builder.
I use it and it's a massive difference, especially if you need to get something up quick.
Great plugin, highly recommended. We've tried a few page builders and settled on Beaver Builder + the new theme builder, it's absolutely rock solid and the support community is phenomenal. Recently switched to Beaver Builder on a relatively large enterprise site, 100k+ page views per month & multisite across 6 languages with no issues. We've also tried Squarespace and Webflow but feel you can't beat the open-source flexibility of the WordPress platform under the hood. Choose a proprietary platform and it will inevitably bite you in the *rse at some point further down the line ("I'm sorry but you can't do that via the API at this time").
We use Beaver Builder and a lot of our projects. It's actually pretty great. I have a bunch of critiques of the page builder, for instance it's not usable on any kind of touch interface, which seems silly. Don't understand why one must go into the live preview in order to do work. It seems like a knowledgeable person could do work directly from the edit screen. Like all live preview Builders if you're using the preview screen is extremely computationally expensive
I used to hate all drag-and-drop page builders for WordPress until I tried BeaverBuilder. Now I don't build a WP site without it. It's really well done and gets better with every release. Plus support is top notch. Their new addon for custom post type and theming support is a game changer. Love this product!
One of the best page builders I have ever used! Well thought options, easy to use interface and highly stable.
Hey Product Hunt! Thanks for all the support.
If anyone wants to try Beaver Builder, we have a live demo available here:

We also have an awesome user group on Facebook here:

@robbymccullough We are considering to integrate this with ListingPro Directory Solution for Wordpress on ThemeForest. Current only VC is available with it but beaver seem to be a really good addon for builder. http://bit.ly/listingprowp
@csaba_kissi was going to use Divi and even bought it, but returned it.
Divi does not support full width pages.
@androidlove I use Divi at my full-time job, all you have to do is make a standard section (blue-colored outer container) and set its row (green-colored inner container) full-width and gutter size to 0.
@deanbrady ah, sorry, we're not doing any specials or coupons at the moment. TBH, we very rarely do. We've done a Black Friday sale for the last few years, but that's the only time we do discounts. Sorry!
Pippin Williamson (AKA @pippinsplugins) did a very thorough and highly critical review of builder plugins (https://pippinsplugins.com/wordp...). Beaver Builder was one of his favorites.
@markbranly awesome article - just wish he had also taken a look at handling of custom post and custom content types - beaver handles these, though many other page builders fail with them
@markbranly @pippinsplugins She must hate page builders because then it is tough to have the world's most narrow content column...
Played around with the demo and it looks great, guys! Congrats on the hunt @robbymccullough! I wonder how does it compare to Thrive Content Builder from @thrivethemes?
@dkornyukhov @thrivethemes they are very similar. Thrive does a great job providing templates and tools for marketers whereas Beaver Builder can be used for any type of website. Both are good choices. :)
This look really good! How is it different from Visual Composer (https://vc.wpbakery.com/) though?
@kartikarora95 long story :) but I think one of the most important difference is BB is not shortcode based, and this means NO lock in effect.
@francecarlucci Ah I see. But for a regular wordpress user, someone who just wants to run a simple webpage, shortcodes are more useful I believe. I might be wrong.
@kartikarora95 visual composer has terrible performance. Another alternative is Elementor
@kartikarora95 @francecarlucci shortcodes are definitely very useful, but page builders that are built on shortcodes are a terrible idea.
