Pagelayer review
A flexible, low-cost WordPress builder for sites needing popups and WooCommerce design tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Pagelayer is a WordPress page builder plugin for creating and editing websites through a drag-and-drop visual editor. Inline text editing, responsive design controls, reusable widgets, styling options, and revision history support day-to-day page work. It is aimed at WordPress users ranging from beginners to professional site builders, particularly those creating affordable sites with popups, custom themes, or WooCommerce pages.
Its strongest fit is breadth within a self-hosted WordPress setup. Pagelayer includes a theme builder for headers, footers, posts, archives, and search pages, along with a popup template builder that supports click, load, scroll, and exit-intent triggers. WooCommerce widgets and page design tools extend the builder beyond standard content pages. Integrations include WooCommerce, Facebook, Google reCAPTCHA, YouTube, Vimeo, and Gutenberg, giving it useful connections for common WordPress site elements.
Pricing is straightforward across the published paid plans. Personal costs $39 per site annually, Professional costs $75 per 5 sites annually, and Business costs $199 annually for unlimited sites. Each listed paid plan includes 60+ PRO widgets, Theme Builder, Theme Exporter, support for one year, and updates for one year. The free version is distributed through the WordPress Plugin Directory, while the Pro offering adds more widgets and features such as theme building, template export, and ecommerce components. Pagelayer suits users who want visual control and a low entry price; teams needing a platform beyond self-hosted WordPress should choose an alternative.
