What it means to be named the best page builder for WordPress

WPBakery has been named the best page builder for WordPress at the TemplateMonster Awards. It’s a meaningful recognition – but not for the reasons awards are often celebrated.

In a community like WordPress, which has the largest market share, thousands of tools, plugins and add-ons – competition is constant and trends change fast. In that sense, recognition only matters when it reflects long-term use and trust.

WordPress is not growing or getting to where it is because of trophies but because millions of people rely on tools that work – each day and with every update they roll out. Awards don’t fix bugs, maintain compatibility or help someone deliver a client site on time. However, when grounded in real-world usage and long-term relevance, they serve as a signal that says: this tool has remained useful while others have come and gone.

And in that sense, we take this award as a recognition of all the effort we put into building a product that millions of sites and people continue to use for over a decade.

That’s the context in which we see this recognition.

What the best page builder for WordPress mean for us in practice

“Best” is an abstract word. In day-to-day WordPress work, it usually translates into something far more practical:

• Predictable updates that don’t break existing projects
• A UI that doesn’t require relearning every few months
• A tool that can be equally easily used by pros and non-tech people and is compatible with all themes and environments

Moreover, a product with Support that understands real production issues, not just demos. For agencies, freelancers and in-house teams, those things matter far more than any awards. They determine whether projects stay maintainable, whether handovers are smooth and whether sites remain stable long after launch.

And that’s exactly the standard that we at WPBakery uphold. To us, this award comes as recognition of more than a decade of building and baking, of consistency over time, of trust that people have given us – all to which we are deeply thankful.

Recognition like this is a checkpoint, not a finish line.

Looking ahead

As WordPress continues to evolve, so do the expectations placed on the tools that support it. Performance, accessibility and maintainability remain at the center of it all – not because they’re fashionable, but because they’re necessary.

This recognition is appreciated, but the work continues in the same direction it always has: building a tool people can rely on, year after year.

Thank you to everyone who builds with WPBakery and holds it to a high standard. That trust is what makes recognition like this possible.
