Learn in this video how to generally use the Visual Composer and how to actually create awesome page layouts. Visual Composer comes with a big library of components that you can add to any of your page.
To create a layout you start by creating a row element. Then you can click on the plus in the row element to add any further element to it. I show you how to add a background image and a action box.

Icon Boxes in Visual Composer are nice elements to present information like arguments for your business, or characteristics about your products to the visitor of your Wordpress Website.
An Icon Box is a little icon with a title text and some body text. If you put three of them in a row next to each other, this creates quite a nice layout.

Now you will learn how to create some more advanced layouts with the Visual Composer Plugin for Wordpress. The example that you will see in this video is a 50 50 row, that mean a row that is divided into two columns. On of the side there will be a full size image and on the other side there will be attractive text, some icons and a call to action button.
