 * I am hardly a CSS guru but I had already been able to do much of what I had wanted,
   without this plugin, it was just hard work and very time-consuming. This plugin
   enable me to create complex layouts with complete control. With Page Builder 
   you build posts and pages using rows and widgets like lego with drag and drop.
   Its not wysiwyg, its better, since it enables you to easily build the layout 
   using widgets as content blocks (whatever the content). You do need to install
   the SiteOrigin Widget bundle since it includes some default widgets PageBuilder
   likes to use. You can use any widget, though SiteOrigin’s own bundle have some
   pretty good extra ones, you can use Jetpack’s as well as several other ones in
   the repository built in conjunction with SiteOrigin. I have found any incompability
   between my plugins or widgets and PageBuilder. There’s even a PageBuilder layout
   widget, so you can layout individual panels in a slider or rolling hero carousel.
 * All responsive too! One great extra is the ability to clone a page locally so
   you can duplicate it in any wordpress site (with this plugin). Shortcodes work
   for the most part in the TinyMCE text editor widget but not all text areas can
   use them but PageBuilder isn’t alone in this.
 * If you have an existing page with content, you can convert this content into 
   a default one row one column pagebuilder layout (the content goes into the text
   editor widget). If you decide to uninstall the plugin, simple content isn’t lost.
   Having also made use of their excellent support I can safely give this 5 stars.
