    Unhappy Visual Composer-like extension for Magento?

    Is there an extension for making dynamic contents in Magentos CMS?

    Coming from Wordpress I am used to a number of different page builders with nice buttons and such for short codes and easy adding of animated elements.
    Yes, Magento is not a full blog or CMS-able thingy, but still.
    As I understand WPBakery's Visual Composer (VC for short hereafter), for instance, is only a library of JQuery presets and all you have to do is fill in the contents in required text fields. So why is there no such thing on Magento? It can't all be because of the lame "it's due to Magentos framework"?

    Isn't it that Magento developers focus on e-commerce more than design?
    So how do we get more designer folks on board of Magento?

    So far the only way to get some nice things going on in Magento is to use a "Magento Wordpress Integration"-solution (MWI for short hereafter), like Fishpig's or Sonassi's products.
    Fishpig is free and all, but won't accept WP plugins, which means VC is out of the question.
    Sonassi on the other hand seems to be more agile, but costs a fortune.

    Really, developing a MWI surely must be waaaay more advanced than to just make a VC-like extension?
    Or why not "port" VC to Magento?

    Just my thoughts.

    If you have a tip on page builder for Magento, please don't hesitate! Gimme a sign!

    There is a wysiwyg theme editor, something I have used to make life a bit easier...it allows full CSS control, even the breadcrumb trails and it has a drag & drop layout manager and you can add content blocks in a similar manner. It's not exactly what you are looking for, but pretty close! Hope this helps http://www.magentocommerce.com/magen...ner-14913.html

    Exactly.
    And if anyone capable of creating modules is reading this; how hard can it be bundle some code snippets of jQuery into a widget module?

    Heck, with my lo-tech PHP and Javascript skill I was able to do the nifty sliding-and-fading-in animation [of some paragraphs] I was looking for, since I couldn't find a decent one. I didn't make a module though, just quick n' dirty coding directly in a static block.
    I can only dream of doing it all via a widget =/

    I guess I could spend some time to be that guy to deliver us, but naaaaah.... that's not going to happen

    Visual Composer help you to build the page directly on the page, not in the admin panel, therefore allows you to view exactly which you want to build and change with live feedback on every change you make.

    It's a question i asked myself when i was developing an ecommerce store for a client based on Magento. Unfortunately, there is no Visual Composer like text editor available for magento as it was not meant to be a CMS but an Ecommerce platform.

    Still, the WYSIWYG editor on Mangento works pretty fine but nothing fancy like Visual composer.

    Great stuff i think you guys are about to see a nice portion of the wordpress market head your way as wordpress continues to disergard all the theme programers and plugin programmers that made it what it is today with gutenberg.

    What is an incredible CMS Visual Composer Magento 2? I exceptionally prescribe Magezon Page Builder expansion for Magento 2 that is too simple to utilize and quick. Construct any design you can consider in only a wink of an eye without knowing code or contracting an engineer. Essentially use drag and drop and 50+ structure components.
