## Description

#### What is Nimble Page Builder ?

**[Nimble Page Builder](https://nimblebuilder.com/)** is a fast and agile page builder
plugin for WordPress. Nimble Builder uses the live customizer, native and powerful
WordPress interface for real-time design.
 The plugin allows you to easily drag-
and-drop modules like text-editor, post grids, images, contact forms, maps, icons,
or ready-made sections and starter templates into any page of your site. You can
edit your pages in real-time, and then click “publish” when you are happy with the
result.

Плагин постоянно глючит, очень ограниченный и кривой функционал!Если вы думаете 
устанавливать или нет. Некоем случае не делайте это!Сейчас есть много хороших альтернатив.

I am disappointed.Does not integrate with Hueman Pro and the Documentation is a 
joke.Seems to be outdated and not supported anymore as well, so this has been a 
waste of money.

 [C-W-R](https://profiles.wordpress.org/creawebrdv/) February 17, 2023

Suite à une analyse SEO, on remarque que Nimble Builder crée un doublon des contenus
invisibles, et dans lequel il stocke la publication. Pouvez-vous modifier cela ?

В целом, плагин суперский. Не стал занижать оценку.. Есть тут русскоязычные – у 
вас тоже локализация никак не хочет работать? Через Loco Translate вообще 9 строчек
оставляет в шаблоне.. Не пойму, где собака зарыта.
