Avada Builder Plugin

Last Update: February 26, 2026

The Avada Builder plugin is one of two required Avada plugins and is core to the Avada Live Visual Builder, which powers the design experience in Avada. It works alongside Avada to provide drag-and-drop functionality for creating pages, posts, layouts, and dynamic content across your website. While the theme handles the overall framework and styling, the Avada Builder plugin delivers the interactive building tools that let you visually construct your site without writing code.
