## Description

**[f(x) Builder](http://genbumedia.com/plugins/fx-builder/)** is a new page builder
plugin that provides visual columns in the post editor without using shortcodes.
From the setting page, you can enable it for posts, pages, and custom post types.
There is no vendor lock-in. If you decide you no longer wish to use the plugin, 
you can disable it without losing your content (though you would loose the column
formatting).

**Features:**

 1. Super simple to use.
 2. Visual columns in the post editor.
 3. If you disable the plugin, you content is not lost.

 5. 1 – 4 columns supported.

I’ve used several Page Builders, but none integrates as perfectly as the f (x) Builder
plugin. Clean design, very lightweight and easy to use make this plugin essential
for any WordPress site. Please continue with this beautiful development, I sincerely
do not know if it needs any improvement, it is perfect for me. Many thanks to the
developer!

I mean it works without me thinking how to use it), which is unbelievable for a 
builder. Simple and efficient. I tried it yesterday when it was alpha, today is 
beta, I liked UI improvement. Great potential!

### 󠀁[EXACTLY What I was craving for!!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exactly-what-i-was-craving-for/)󠁿

 [nick6352683](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nick6352683/) September 24, 2016

No bells and whistles, just a plain and simple page builder, with a FULL editor 
at our disposal. Perfect for those who create their own themes or shortcodes or 
use some quality shortcodes plugins. What’s really amazing is that it add 0 (ZERO)
strain on the server – the page loads are exactly the same with this page builder
active or not. If you are using a shared hosting, and especially if you are using
a “heavy” plugin like Woocommerce, and if you want to have a page builder without
effecting the speed of the site, then besides a good theme and agood cache plugin,
this is the page builder to use. I cannot specify how excited I’m with this, I hope
they don’t add too many things to it. There are a million other page builders that
have plenty of features, at the expense of speed and memory (RAM). We needed at 
least one that is extremely lightweight, and this is it. Besides, there is no way
any builder plugin can compete with Visual composer, so dominating a different niche
is very clever. If anything that needs to be added, the ability to have full width
content when the theme is fixed width, ala Visual Composer, or SiteOrigin. The Divi
builder plugin and the Beaver builder plugin fail miserably with this.
