The Page Builder Sandwich plugin

What Page Builder Sandwich is, free and Pro, upgrading from the old version, updates and AI agents.

Build pages from 48 blocks, section by section, in the block editor or Sandwich Studio, with clean front-end HTML and no builder wrappers.

Page Builder Sandwich has a free edition and a paid Pro edition, sold as Personal, Business and Agency plans. Pro includes everything in the free edition. Prices are on Page Builder Sandwich's own website and inside the plugin. Hosting with us does not include Pro; hosting customers get a discount on their first payment (see Pro plugins discount for hosting customers).

Coming from the old Page Builder Sandwich

Pages built with the old plugin (pbs-row/pbs-col HTML, old buttons, old table columns) are converted to the new blocks on first open, with a backup kept. Everything you build is stored as normal blocks. SEO plugins read it, other tools can edit it, and if the plugin is ever switched off the page still shows its content. No shortcodes left behind.

It needs WordPress 6.8 or newer and PHP 8.2 or newer.

Updates

On a WordPress site we host, the free Page Builder Sandwich updates itself and every update is checked on your own pages first; anything that changes is rolled back. See Our plugins update themselves. A Pro licence brings Pro's updates through the plugin's own Account screen.

AI agents (MCP)

A site running Page Builder Sandwich can let an AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients) work with it through 143 abilities, each limited to what the signed-in WordPress user may do. See Page Builder Sandwich: connect an AI agent (MCP).
