The Project
Organic Builder Widgets is a unique page-builder plugin for WordPress that allows users to create multi-section pages using the core WordPress Customizer, viewing their changes in real-time. It’s designed to be a simple alternative to the bloated, proprietary page-builders on the market. While working with Organic Themes, JumpOff worked as the primary developer on the plugin, which currently has more than 10,000 active installations, and a 4.6 (out of 5) star rating on WordPress.org.
The Code
The project utilizes an object-oriented WordPress development approach, and uses the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate for its architecture. The free version of the plugin is available via the WordPress.org repository and on Github.
Real Time Previewing
Since Organic Builder Widgets utilizes the native WordPress customization API, users can preview their changes in real time.
Custom widgets come with styling customization options to help users fine-tune their websites.

The paid version of the plugin contains 16 custom widgets.
