Frequently Asked Questions

Overview

What is Oxygen, and who is it for?

Oxygen is a powerful WordPress website builder designed for developers, agencies, and power users. Oxygen is a developer-first platform. It prioritizes a fundamentals-first approach to website building. The goal with Oxygen is not to simplify everything. Rather, it’s to make your workflow faster by providing visual tools to manipulate the code you’d have to write by hand otherwise. With Oxygen, you build out of fundamental HTML elements and style them with CSS classes, all from a visual interface that offers 1:1 abstractions that align closely with the underlying HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP.

Is Oxygen beginner-friendly?

No. If you're a beginner to WordPress, that's fine, but if you are a beginner to web design, we highly encourage you to use our sister product, Breakdance.

How is Oxygen different from other page builders?

Oxygen is different from other page builders because it’s built specifically for developers who want full control over their code while still using a visual interface. Instead of abstracting away the technical details, Oxygen embraces them, offering a 1:1 representation of HTML and CSS in its UI. It removes the traditional WordPress theme layer, allowing you to structure your site using fundamental elements like divs and classes, work directly with CSS selectors and variables, and integrate PHP and JavaScript as needed—all within the builder. This approach lets developers work faster without sacrificing the precision and standards of hand-coding.

What’s the difference between Oxygen 6 and Oxygen Classic?

Oxygen 6 is a complete rewrite of the Oxygen Builder, designed to fully embrace modern web development practices and offer a more powerful, efficient, and intuitive experience for developers. It introduces native CSS variable support, components, advanced interactions, improved CSS selector management with nested selectors, and a brand-new UI optimized for productivity with enhanced workflow features and keyboard shortcuts. Oxygen Classic, on the other hand, remains the original version that many developers know and love, retaining its traditional interface and architecture. While Oxygen 6 breaks from backwards compatibility to enable these advancements, Oxygen Classic will continue to receive full support, updates, and bug fixes, ensuring that existing projects remain stable and developers can choose the version that best suits their workflow.
