Avada Builder Plugin

The Avada Builder plugin, renamed from Fusion Builder in Avada 7.0, and one of the two required plugins with Avada, is our very own stand-alone page builder plugin, packed with innovative features and options. With Avada 6.0 and above, Avada Builder now comes in two interfaces in the one plugin, the traditional back-end wireframe editor, and the new front-end Avada Live.
