Dynamic Content Made Simple

Display WordPress content, custom fields, and even remote data without complex PHP coding and with unmatched granularity and power.

Built in GraphQL Editor

WordPress has powerful data capabilities hidden beneath the surface. Builderius makes this data accessible through an optimized GraphQL editor with intelligent autocomplete and optimized snippets for quick start.

WordPress Content Queries

Query posts, pages, custom post types, and taxonomies using visual controls. The autocomplete shows exactly what data is available and how to access it.

Example: Custom Post Type Loop

{
  posts_query(
    arguments: {
      post_type: "testimonial"
      posts_per_page: 6
      orderby: "date"
    }
  ) {
    post_title
    post_content
    author_name: meta(key: "author")
    rating: meta(key: "rating")
  }
}

Custom Fields Integration

Works seamlessly with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), Meta Box, and WordPress custom fields. Access repeater fields, image galleries, and complex data structures through the visual interface. Other vendors like Jet Engine or ACPT are not supported at the moment, but can in part be accessed using generic WordPress meta fields.

Remote Data Sources

Connect to external APIs and services using WordPress’s built-in functions or REST API endpoints. Display news feeds, product data, google sheets or any external content.

Getting Started: Use the snippet library for common queries, then customize with autocomplete guidance. No GraphQL experience required.

Build Once, Use Everywhere – Custom Components

Create reusable components that save time and ensure consistency across your sites.

Component Creation Made Visual

Build any design element – pricing cards, team member profiles, testimonials – then convert it into a reusable component through the visual interface.

Properties That Become Form Fields

Define component properties like title, description, image, and links. These become easy-to-edit form fields when you use the component.

Create different styles of the same component using CSS classes. Make highlighted pricing tiers, featured team members, or any visual variation.

Component Variants

Dynamic Component Content

Connect components to your GraphQL queries for fully dynamic content. Build a team section component that automatically displays all team members from your custom post type.

Nested Components

Build complex layouts by nesting components within other components. Create page sections that contain multiple smaller reusable elements.

Time Saver: Build a pricing table once, use it on every relevant page. Update the component design and see changes across your entire site automatically.
