Starting with a blank page can be daunting, especially if you are not a designer or running short of time. Visual Composer makes sure that you have access to a collection of designer-made templates.

Or go for the industry templates, like, web design, barber shop, restaurant, and other.

This is where the Visual Composer custom Page Layout feature comes like a miracle. It allows you to customize the default theme as you like.

As soon as you choose to create a page with Visual Composer website builder, you get a choice of five different layouts. Start with a blank page, header, and footer layout, sidebar layouts or leave the default WordPress theme.

The page layouts are designed to provide an easy start. And they can always be changed at any time in the Visual Composer settings. The next steps include adding a header, footer (if that’s your pick) and start building your website.
