Side by Side V2 - Addon for WPBakery Page Builder — is an essential tool for any WordPress developer or site owner using the WPBakery Page Builder. It unlocks the ability to create modern, dynamic, and engaging split-screen layouts without writing a single line of code. This addon is specifically designed to help you break free from traditional, single-column page structures and present your content in a more compelling and visually balanced way.
Perfect for portfolios, product comparisons, feature showcases, or storytelling, Side by Side V2 allows you to place any content—from images and videos to text and call-to-action buttons—into two distinct, interactive panels. With extensive customization options, you can control animations, divider styles, and responsive behavior, ensuring your layouts look perfect on every device. This intuitive addon integrates seamlessly into the WPBakery interface, making it incredibly easy to add a professional and creative touch to your website.
Why This Is Important
Stop Losing Visitors to Boring Layouts
Are you tired of standard, predictable page designs that fail to capture attention? The average visitor spends less than 15 seconds on a website before leaving. If your content is presented in a monotonous, single-column format, you're likely losing potential customers. The human brain processes visuals 60,000 times faster than text, and a dynamic split-screen layout immediately signals that your site is modern, professional, and worth exploring. Side by Side V2 helps you create these high-impact visuals effortlessly.
The Power of Comparison
When customers are making a decision, direct comparison is crucial. Studies show that a well-presented comparison can increase conversion rates by up to 35%. Instead of forcing users to scroll up and down to compare features or see a "before and after" effect, this plugin lets you place them side-by-side. This simple change reduces cognitive load, clarifies your value proposition, and guides users toward a faster, more confident decision. It's an indispensable tool for e-commerce sites, service providers, and agencies wanting to prove their impact.

FAQ
Is this plugin compatible with the latest version of WPBakery and WordPress?
Absolutely. The plugin is regularly updated to ensure full compatibility with the latest versions of WordPress and WPBakery Page Builder. We recommend keeping all your themes and plugins updated to guarantee smooth performance and security.
Can I use videos or complex elements inside the split panels?
Yes. Each panel in the Side by Side V2 element acts as a standard WPBakery column. This means you can insert any element available in your WPBakery library, including text blocks, images, videos, carousels, forms, and even nested rows.
How does the split-screen layout behave on mobile devices?
The plugin is fully responsive. By default, on smaller screens (like tablets and mobile phones), the side-by-side panels will stack vertically to ensure content remains readable and user-friendly. The left panel will appear on top, followed by the right panel below it.
Will this plugin slow down my website?
No, Side by Side V2 is built with performance in mind. The code is lightweight and optimized to ensure it has a minimal impact on your page loading times. It only loads the necessary scripts on pages where the element is actively used.
