Summary

Homepage of Page Builder Sandwich
Page Builder Sandwich is a WordPress page builder. It stores pages as plain WordPress blocks instead of shortcodes or a private format, so WordPress, your theme and your SEO plugin can keep reading them whatever you add later. Build in the standard block editor, or use Sandwich Studio, a full-screen visual editor with a layers panel, undo history, a command palette and keyboard shortcuts.
A page loads styles only for the blocks it uses, taken from your own uploads folder, with neutral class names and no generator tags. A measured test page gained +0.5 kB and sent 0 requests to servers owned by other companies. The free accessibility checker points out missing alternative text and weak colour contrast while you work.
The free plugin offers 44 blocks and 20 website kits. Pro adds 68 more blocks, 8 more kits, a form builder, popups, A/B tests, a theme builder, a design system, a WooCommerce store builder and imports from Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery and Figma. AI agents such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can create pages via its MCP server, which has 150 tools.
It has been a WordPress page builder since 2015, and version 6 is a new builder from the ground up. Zinn Digital® Ltd develops, sells and supports it, and Neil Lock builds it.

Questions and answers
- Does Page Builder Sandwich cost anything to use?
- Not for the core plugin, which has no time limit and comes with 44 blocks, 20 website kits, Sandwich Studio and the accessibility checker. Page Builder Sandwich Pro layers on 68 further blocks, forms, popups, A/B tests and a WooCommerce store builder, and its 14-day free trial needs no card.
- What happens to my pages when I build them with it?
- They are stored as plain WordPress blocks rather than shortcodes or any private format. That lets WordPress, your theme and your SEO plugin read them, and the content of a page remains visible even when the plugin is deactivated.
- Does it make my website heavier or slower?
- A page pulls in styles only for the blocks it contains, served from your own site. Tested on one measured page, the plugin contributed +0.5 kB and 0 requests to servers belonging to other companies, and the phone Lighthouse score held at 100.
- Is it possible to bring over pages made in Elementor or Divi?
- Yes, through Pro. Pages made with Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder and WPBakery are turned into blocks, you get a report listing anything worth checking, and the original pages are left untouched.
- Which company stands behind Page Builder Sandwich?
- Zinn Digital® Ltd develops, sells and supports it, while Neil Lock is the person who builds it.
