What is Nimble Page Builder ?
Nimble Page Builder is a fast and agile page builder plugin for WordPress. Nimble Builder uses the live customizer, native and powerful WordPress interface for real-time design.
The plugin allows you to easily drag-and-drop modules like text-editor, post grids, images, contact forms, maps, icons, or ready-made sections and starter templates into any page of your site. You can edit your pages in real-time, and then click “publish” when you are happy with the result.
