For everyone
Faster pages that everyone can use
Your site loads faster
Each page loads only the styles of the blocks on it, from your own site, and no fonts or scripts from other companies. Faster pages keep visitors and help search rankings.
Everyone can use it
Menus, tabs, sliders and dialogs work with the keyboard and screen readers, charts and tables read as words, and moving blocks stay still for visitors who ask for less motion. The checker flags problems as you build.
Moving from Beaver Builder
Page Builder Sandwich Pro converts your Beaver Builder pages into blocks, keeping the layout, fonts, colours and images, and gives you a report of anything that needs a manual touch. Your original pages are never changed, so you can compare side by side before you switch.
