Best Drag And Drop WordPress Plugins

10 plugins · 11.3M combined installs · 4.5/5 avg rating

Drag-and-drop plugins provide visual, WYSIWYG page building interfaces for WordPress that allow non-developers to construct complex layouts by dragging content elements — columns, images, text blocks, buttons, videos, and widgets — into position without writing HTML or CSS. Elementor, Divi Builder, and WPBakery pioneered this category and fundamentally changed how WordPress sites are built by making sophisticated design achievable without coding knowledge. Freelancers, marketing teams, and small business owners use drag-and-drop builders to maintain and update their own sites independently. While the WordPress block editor provides native drag-and-drop functionality, third-party page builders remain popular for their richer widget libraries, global style controls, and template ecosystems.
