Swifty Content Creator - Beautiful Content Made Easy.
Create appealing blogposts, story-pages and grid pages with breakout bars and clever layouts. All true WYSIWYG in the front-end and fully compatible with the WordPress editor.
This is Swifty Content Creator
A page builder, a front-end editor, with which you can create all kinds of content for the pages and blogposts of your website. Not just text and images, but also buttons, a contactform, video’s and more.
Use rows and columns if you like. Or not :-)
Most front-end editors work with adding rows and filling those rows with content in columns. And although you can do that with Swifty by picking one of many ready-made presets; you don’t have to.
You don’t have to use a grid.
You can also simply write your content and add images and other components and re-arrange them with the text wrapping beautifully around them.
It’s simple, elegant and easy to use.
Swifty Content Creator is different than other front-end editors, page builders and composers
It does not use popup-screens in which you then have to type your text. Instead it just works in the page, in your theme and you see what your visitors will see while you are creating your content.
It is fully two-way compatible with the WordPress editor itself.
This allows freelancers, agents and designers to do fancy stuff in WP-mode and then give the site to their customers that can work in the safe and familiar Swifty environment. Less stuff will break, which is always a good thing :-)
You can work with a grid if you like, but you don’t have to.
Use the grid and insert a row, deviding it in columns and that way create all kinds of page layout blocks that you can save for use elsewhere on the site if you like :-)
Or you can pick one of the cleverly designed presets; combinations of content blocks that are frequently used, such as pricing tables, category comparissons, meet the team layouts and more. Way more!
Most front-end editors and visual page builders and composers are not true WYSIWYG, because they show gridlines and hovering buttons and pop-up panels that get in the way. Swifty Content Creator tries to avoid that and provides you with a true what-you-see-is-what-your-site-visitors-will-get experience.
Here's why you should definitely give Swifty Content Creator a try:
You will see what your visitors will see, while you are creating the page You no longer have to switch between edit and preview mode. You see the page as the visitors of your site will see it. That way you can quickly and easily see where your content should go and how it fits in the page.
All content is responsive So the pages will do very well in Google Page Speed Insights (if your theme is up to par)
Text wrapping around elements If text is the hero on your page, let it wrap beautifully around elements such as a video, a quote, or even a contactform, much in the same way text wraps around images.
Rows with columns Easily insert a row with columns in different proportions and fill those columns with content. If you like what you have created you can save it as a preset for future use on that site.
Presets Smart combinations of columns and content that our designers have prepared for you so you can build pages fast. Includes:
- Meet the team
- Pricing table
- Call to action
- Icons & text
- Images & text
- Buttons & text
- Testimonial
- etc.
Full page layouts Time saving combinations of presets for your home page, contact page, landing page, meet-the-team page and way more.
Break out bars Stunning full width (fully responsive) content area’s that you can fill with all kinds of content and backgrounds. Particulary helpfull if you want to tell a story or explain a product or service on a single page. Break out bars create chapters or segments each addressing a different aspect of your story or explanation, providing a well structured overview.
It will save you time No longer go back and forth between editor en preview because you work in the front-end
Auto-optimizes your images And does it even better than default WordPress - upload any image and let Swifty handle the rest
Easily add components Such as a contactform, button, video, icon, quote and lots more.
Theme independant Works well with most themes
Write text, not code Shortcodes are rendered so you can actually see what your page will look like.
Developer friendly Build pages faster while also having the freedom to add special stuff in the back-end
Two way compatible with WordPress editor You can do fancy stuff in the back-end and editing in the front-end will still work just fine
Works for multi sites Install once and use on all your multi sites
Distraction free The User Interface is neutral (maybe even boring) on purpose, so that it doesn’t distract you from beautifying your own website
Up-to-date Works with the latest version of WordPress, often within a week after a new release.
Compatible Works well with many other plugins, such as WooCommerce and Ninja Forms
Why not give it a try? It’s free :-)
What would life be like…
... if you could easily create beautiful content on the pages of your WordPress site, without having to switch back and forth between editor and preview-mode? Imagine not having to work in between shortcodes, but in the fully rendered front-end.
... if you could just upload an image and let Swifty take care of the rest, always automatically picking the right image to show the site’s visitors. No more hassle in preparing images and making sure you pick the right one each time.
