<p>Blockade is in public beta. There may be frequent releases and features may change as we work towards releasing version 1.0. Please let us know about your experience, so we can make Blockade even better.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4>Blockade will change the way you look at designing and building for the web</h4>
<p>Page builders are usually overbuilt and hard to learn to use effectively. Blockade turns that trend on its head, and provides a lightweight page builder that integrates directly into your site’s existing interface. With Blockade, you can build beautiful, professional, and standards-compliant responsive layouts, in seconds.</p>
<p>Want to know the best part? Your layout is built in clean, easy to edit HTML5, with the popular Bootstrap framework.  Need to make a change beyond what the interface allows? Simply switch to text mode and edit the HTML directly.</p>
<h4>Built for real designers with real clients</h4>
<p>Real clients have sites with custom metaboxes, shortcodes, widgets, and theme options built into their editors. Most page builders ignore those crucial controls, and focus on building a new interface, just for their custom experience. They aren’t good at being a tool that adds to an existing workflow.</p>
<p>We built Blockade to give our clients the WordPress experience they deserve. It cut its teeth on the real problems users face with designing and editing, and working with common plugins like ACF and Slider Revolution. It has revolutionized editing for our team and our clients.</p>
<p>Now we’re ready to revolutionize editing for everyone else.</p>

<h3>Building templates</h3>
<p>Building a template is easy. Start out by creating a layout in Visual Composer. (For example, by creating a new page with the layout you want.)</p>
<p>When you are done, click the “Classic mode” button to return to the TinyMCE WYSISYG, and then click on the Text tab. Now you can copy the content of your layout into a template!</p>

<h3>Using in a theme</h3>
<p>To bundle templates with your theme, create the folder:</p>
<pre><code>/your-theme/vc_templates
</code></pre>
<p>Then, create a file, for example:</p>
<pre><code>/your-theme/vc_templates/my-template.php
</code></pre>
<p>The only requirement is that the file has a .php extension.</p>
<p>Paste the template you got from the “Building templates” section above, and you will see a new template called “My Template” after you click on Templates > Default Templates in Visual Composer. You’re done!</p>
