Themify Builder – A Closer Inspection of Ultra’s Page Builder

Built into the theme is Ultra’s very own page builder – the Themify Builder. It’s a powerful and intuitive page builder which gives you the freedom to design any kind of layout you can think of.

No need to write code. The Themify Builder has a drag and drop interface so you can easily adjust the look of your site by simply adding, dragging, and dropping elements in place. You do not have to write even a single line of code.

Edit on the back-end or the front-end. You also have the option of editing your website on the back-end by moving modules around. Or you can edit on the front-end and witness the page building process live before your eyes.

Access a library of layouts. Over 140 pre-made and professionally designed layouts are included in the Themify Builder. All you need to do is simply select and import any of the layouts, modify it by changing the text or images, and your page layout is good to go.

Animate your elements. The Themify Builder also includes 60+ animation effects – Bounce, Shake, Flash, Pulse, Zoom In, Swing, Flip, and a whole lot more. You can apply these effects to the elements on your website.

Builder Addons and Plugin Compatibility

Purchasing the Ultra theme will give you free access to these 12 bonus builder add-ons: Countdown, Progress Bar, Counter, Contact, WooCommerce, Timeline, Image Pro, Typewriter, Maps Pro, Pricing Table, Slider Pro, and Audio.

These add-ons will help extend the capability of the Themify Builder as well as add more functionality to your website. With the Timeline add-on, for instance, you can display content in a timeline-styled layout.

You can also integrate an elegant audio playlist in your website with the Audio add-on.

What’s more, Ultra is also fully compatible with most third party plugins like Yoast SEO, WPML, Contact Form 7, Disqus, and MailChimp.

During the one-year period, you can use their Support Forum for faster responses to any specific queries you might have with the theme. As for general theme support, you have 24/7 access to their Documentation and FAQs.
