Cornerstone is a powerhouse front-end visual page builder for WordPress, developed by Themeco. While it gained fame as the core engine behind the popular X and Pro themes, it is also available as a standalone plugin that works with any WordPress theme.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page Documentation
Cornerstone is known for its “clean code” philosophy and a “work area vs. preview area” interface that stays out of your way.
Unified Workflow: You can edit headers, footers, archives, and single posts without leaving the builder interface.
The Component System: Build your own design system with globally controlled components. Change a button’s style once, and it updates everywhere.
Dynamic Content & Loopers: Native support for “Loopers” allows you to pull data from WordPress (posts, terms, users) or even external JSON/REST APIs without writing PHP.
CSS Grid & Flexbox: It provides a native visual interface for complex CSS Grid layouts, making it a favorite for designers who want precision.
Conditional Logic: Set “Conditions” on any element (e.g., “Only show this banner to logged-in users” or “Show this if the product is on sale”).
Built-in Sliders & Forms: Version 7+ includes native “Modern Sliders” and the recently launched “Cornerstone Forms,” reducing the need for extra plugins like Revolution Slider or WPForms.
