Custom layouts wherever you need them

WordPress page templates work well but require foresight and developer-level knowledge. With Carrington Build you can simply drag-and-drop a few blocks to create a brand new page layout.
Let your imagination go
With the possibilities Carrington Build puts in your hands, don't settle for the same old page organization. Three column layout on this page? No problem. Two column layout with a full-width banner on top? Sure thing.
No programming needed
Leveraging your content all across your site has never been easier. From the custom Loop Module to the Post Callout Module - drag, drop and style the building blocks to augment your pages as needed. The power of WordPress in your hands.

Build Modules
We've all come to love WordPress widgets. They're can be arranged using simple drag-and-drop techniques, have custom settings, and be reused over and over in many sidebars. Widgets work really well for sidebars, but your page layouts often need more.
Introducing Modules, powerful building blocks for your custom page layouts. There's almost nothing these modules can't do. Check out the template provided in your download and feel free to invent your own.
