Blade comes with the Visual Composer, a visual layout builder that allows you to forget about the syntax of shortcodes and create multiple layouts within minutes without writing a single line of code! You can edit, delete, increase and decrease size of each item.
Furthermore, you can reorder the elements, copy-paste and save templates. It has very simple and instinctive interface! Don’t forget to read the Rows/Columns article in this documentation, where you will discover the amazing responsive possibilities.
As you can easily see, Blade’s elements are especially handmade for the theme’s preferences and they harmoniously use the amazing visual interface of the composer. That means you will not find just one Visual Composer copy in Blade!
