Why Cornerstone

No Code & Pro Code In Perfect Harmony

Whether you’re building your first site or coding advanced Components & Parameters on a complex project, Cornerstone scales with your skills.

Build Anything

Cornerstone is a blank canvas with no limits.

Cornerstone isn’t just a page builder — it’s a full-site editing platform. Paired with the Pro Theme, it becomes a blank canvas giving you total control over your entire site: pages, headers, footers, archives, single layouts, and more. No part of your build is off limits — and no extra tools are required to make it happen.

Footers
Archive Layouts
Single Layouts

Manage Efficiently

One Unified Workspace.

Cornerstone is built for momentum. With everything organized in tabs — pages, headers, footers, components, templates, and more — you can build, manage, create, and scale from a single interface. This allows you to limit the amount of back and forth between builder and the WP Admin. As a matter of fact, you virtually never have to leave Cornerstone!

Modern Framework

Build with intention. Scale with confidence.

Cornerstone gives you full control of the front-end of your site using real HTML, clean structure, and styling tools that follow web standards (not builder shortcuts). You’re not locked into proprietary wrappers or forced into rigid layouts. Instead, you get total control over structure, styling, and semantics — the way modern development should be.

Robust Toolset

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

With most builders, you need a stack of plugins just to unlock the basics. Not here. Cornerstone includes native query building, dynamic content, conditional logic, theming, component systems, and even external API support — all built in. And when you do need a plugin, Cornerstone plays nicely with the entire WordPress ecosystem. We recently won a contest as the only builder on the market that didn't need 3rd party plugins to complete a complex build.

Built Beautifully. Even Under The Hood.

Cornerstone takes a front-end-first approach to building — generating clean, semantic HTML without bloat. Whether you're shipping to production or handing off to a dev team, the markup is logical, accessible, and ready to scale. You can even inject your own custom attributes and data hooks where needed.

I would like to rate 5 stars for all categories listed. Great theme, full featured, fast and easy to use. Very few times there have been bugs I needed to code around. Great for both my clients and developers to use.

@Defmans7

By far the best design and innovative theme builder. I’ve been loving the new loopers, the max video training they have available, and the header, footer, archive, page, and post builders. This theme has come a long way and I highly recommend you get it.

@Bdevries21

X, Pro and all of Themeco products are 10/10. Went from total beginner to being able to create some really cool websites. Their staff is always available to answer questions, whether through the forums or paid support. Cornerstone is simple and easy to figure out and offers a multitude of optional add-on as well.

@Isabelle808

I've been using X, and now Pro by Themeco for 10 years. I originally purchased X to build my own website for a business I was starting. I enjoyed the process so much, that over the years I now design and build websites, solely using Pro. Pro is incredibly versatile, streamlined and once you wrap your head around the UI, it's super quick and easy to build a great looking and functioning website.

@texaskiwi13

I have created over 500 websites and highly recommend X theme and Pro. CORNERSTONE IS FAST and intuitive. CUSTOMER SUPPORT is AWESOME for answering questions. 8 years of daily use and the changes in Cornerstone the last 2 years are nothing short of AWESOME.

@TJF86

I bought Cornerstone to design just one website, because I wasn't sure if my website design skills were good enough. But after having successfully designed my first website from scratch using Cornerstone, and in 5 days only, I would like to design more websites.

@Itziar_wordpress

I want to express my deep gratitude for your outstanding work on Cornerstone and Pro. Your creations have been a lifeline in my professional journey, helping me bring my creative ideas to life. Thanks to you, I found the job of my dreams during a challenging phase.

@sgaleano9208

I was stuck building websites with themes someone built in their parents basement, no support, just horrible. I came across Cornerstone and decided to buy it. Before I knew it I had bought 10 themes, and then when you guys launched the unlimited plan, I jumped on it.

@jjhiggins7

I have been an ambassador for the Themeco ecosystem within my business for as long as I have been using WordPress. Your support and continual quest for improvement has been invaluable for me and I am confident it will continue to be the future.

@philysgdy

I am not a full-time web designer, but I've been designing websites since high school (2002). A friend of mine asked me to check out this new theme called X. I used it on a church website project and immediately fell in love. Since then, I’ve built at least 13 websites on X/Pro.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cornerstone is a professional-grade visual builder for WordPress that blends no-code simplicity with pro-code flexibility. Whether you're a first-time site creator, a freelance designer, or a full-stack WordPress developer, Cornerstone adapts to your workflow. You can visually build and manage every part of your site — pages, templates, headers, footers, archives, and more — without sacrificing performance or structure. It’s powerful enough for developers, yet intuitive enough for anyone to use.

Unlike many visual builders that focus only on pages, Cornerstone is a site building framework. It includes native tools for full site editing, dynamic content, loops, conditions, custom components, and even external API access — all within a single workspace. You don’t need third-party plugins to extend its power. It outputs lean, semantic HTML with no shortcodes and no unnecessary wrappers. It’s a builder you can confidently scale with.

Not at all. Cornerstone is built to be fully usable without writing a single line of code. Drag and drop your layout, visually edit your content, and manage responsive styles right inside the builder. However, if you are a developer or advanced user, Cornerstone has plenty under the hood — including Breakout Mode, Twig Templating, raw field access, and JavaScript/CSS editors. It’s designed to grow with you. You can learn more about the builder including tips, tricks and how to guides on our YouTube Channel.

Sure can. With the native Query Builder and Looper system, you can query and loop anything including posts, users, custom fields, CSV files, external APIs, and more then apply the loop to any container in your layout. You can even nest loops to build relational views or show grouped data. It’s one of the most powerful visual loop systems available in WordPress — and it’s built right into the core experience.

Most definitely. Every Element in Cornerstone is built with mobile responsiveness in mind. You can control breakpoints, style for each screen size, and even customize layout or visibility per device. On the performance side, Cornerstone outputs clean HTML, avoids shortcode bloat, and keeps your front end lightweight making it easy to pass Core Web Vitals, improve SEO, and deliver a better user experience.

Great question — all three products are part of the same family, but they serve different levels of creative control and customization.

X is our streamlined option that includes the Cornerstone Builder for page creation only. It does not have access to the Header Builder, Footer Builder, Layout Builder, or Grid Editor. It’s great for getting started with visual page design using one of our pre-built layouts.

Cornerstone (Standalone) is the core visual builder available as a plugin sold exclusively at CodeCanyon that you can use with any WordPress theme. You’ll still be able to visually design your pages, use dynamic content, and build Components however for full site editing (headers, footers, layouts, blogs, etc) you will need Pro to unlock Cornerstone's full potential.

Pro is our most advanced offering. It includes the full power of Cornerstone plus visual editing for headers, footers, archives, and single layouts as well as native Components, Parameters, Conditions, and a deeply customizable UI. If you want total control over your site — from structure to styling — Pro is the best fit. All plans above include Pro.
