A structured WordPress page builder for people who care how a page is made. Real hierarchy, clean HTML, no drag-and-drop required.
For more than a century, technical drawings — architecture, engineering, industrial design — have been laid down on vellum. Not out of tradition. Because vellum takes a careful line. It is translucent enough to overlay. Strong enough to survive revisions. Precise enough to trust.
The surface matters. The difference between a napkin sketch and a working drawing isn't the hand — it's the paper.
Not a sandbox for scribbling. A structured surface where every placement is intentional, every measurement honest, every edge drawn by design. The HTML that comes out is as clean as the layout that goes in.
Free-form drag-and-drop looks easy in a demo. In practice it breeds bloated markup, pages that break on mobile the moment you touch one setting, and content that disappears the day you deactivate the builder.
Velloux places every block inside a column, every column inside a row, every row inside a section. Just enough structure to keep the output predictable. The box model — margin, border, padding — is exposed and honest. No hidden wrappers. No surprise markup.
The free Velloux core covers everything most pages need. The Atelier extends it — it doesn't complete it.
Sections, rows, columns, and blocks — the way real pages are built.
Clean HTML goes straight into post_content. Deactivate Velloux and your pages stay.
Margin, border, padding — exposed and editable on every element.
Text, heading, image, button, spacer, video, audio, divider, icon, HTML, group.
Reusable CSS classes scoped to a single stylesheet.
Bring existing content in, with drift detection to keep things in sync.
Full history for every change you make in the editor.
Register your own blocks. Tabs for settings. Hooks for everything.
Other builders try to own the whole stack — forms, sliders, post feeds, popups, countdown timers. Every feature ships on every page, whether you use it or not.
Velloux stays a tool. It builds pages. For everything else, it composes with the plugins you'd already use — your forms plugin, your slider plugin, your shortcodes, your blocks.
Your pages don't depend on Velloux to render.
Deactivate it and they stay.
Atelier — French for a maker's studio or workshop, the place where an artist or craftsman lays out their tools and works with intention. The Velloux Atelier is that studio. Velloux and its companions live here — each a dedicated instrument, each built for one kind of work.
the structured page builder
The core. Sections, rows, columns, blocks. Full box-model control. Clean HTML. No shortcodes. No lock-in.
the AI assistant
Sketch draft pages, add sections, and refine blocks from natural-language prompts. Uses your own OpenAI or Anthropic key — the API key stays on your server.
the content-blocks library
Twelve ready-made blocks — the patterns real sites are built from. Rendered as direct HTML, so your post_content stays portable.
“Every page builder I tried had the same problems — reliance on shortcodes, added bloat that was never used, or proprietary data storage that locked you in to the plugin. Velloux is the builder I wish I'd had the whole time.”
Velloux was intentionally built to write proper HTML and CSS. No heavy reliance on dependencies. No lock-in. Build your pages, then turn it off if you want — or leave it on without worrying about it slowing your site down. A simple way to design without any knowledge of HTML or CSS.
Free. Ready to install. No account, no tracking, no lock-in.
