Description
Etch is a next-generation visual development environment for WordPress that aims to avoid the drawbacks of traditional page builders. It lets you build sites visually while producing clean semantic HTML and CSS, and it includes a canvas for drag-and-drop editing. Custom code, components, and design systems can be integrated into projects.
Key Features
- Clean Code Output – The builder outputs semantic HTML and CSS rather than bloated markup, which the source ties to performance and SEO.
- Canvas-Based Editing – You design on a canvas where elements can be dragged and dropped and adjustments made directly.
- Custom Code Integration – Custom code, components, and design systems can be brought into your projects.
- Responsive Design Tools – Layouts can be made responsive so they work across devices.
- Block Editor Sync – Work done inside the Etch editor syncs back to the WordPress Block Editor.
Who Is It For
Etch is aimed at developers, designers, and agencies who build WordPress sites and want visual editing without the bloat of traditional builders. Its stated purpose is to support scalable, maintainable, accessible sites while keeping control over the design process.
