Oxygen 6 has launched: the wordpress builder

[Cpvr]

Oxygen 6 has been launched, the developer-first WordPress builder designed for creators who demand more—more precise control over HTML and CSS, full support for CSS variables, a powerful reusable components system, deep integration with dynamic data from WordPress, and an advanced interactions engine—all with a workflow that mirrors hand-coding in a visual environment.

Many builders prioritize simplifying things for non-technical users—but Oxygen takes a different approach. Instead of abstracting away the fundamentals of web development, Oxygen puts them front and center, giving developers the power to build exactly what they envision, down to the smallest detail.

With Oxygen, you’re not working within the constraints of pre-defined elements or rigid design systems. You’re working visually with the raw building blocks of the web, maintaining the precision and flexibility of hand-coding while benefiting from the speed and efficiency of a visual builder.

• Build with clean HTML and CSS. Unlike other builders that abstract design from code, Oxygen empowers you to work visually while maintaining full control over semantic HTML and CSS. With a properties panel that maps directly to CSS, what you click is exactly what you’d code.
• Performance-first approach. Oxygen generates lightweight, optimized code to ensure your websites load faster and perform better than those built with widget-heavy alternatives.
• Scalable workflows. Oxygen is class-first, meaning you can style globally and scale designs with ease — perfect for developers and designers who care about maintainability.
• No hosting lock-in. Choose your hosting provider, maintain full ownership of your content, and enjoy the flexibility of WordPress. Unlike Webflow or Framer, Oxygen doesn’t tie you to a proprietary platform.

Design visually, code effortlessly​

Connect your design to your database​

If it’s in the WordPress database, you can put it in your design. No placeholders, just real data.

• TLDR: Easily connect dynamic content to your design.
• Why it matters: For content-heavy projects like directories, blogs, and ecommerce, dynamic data simplifies complex workflows and delivers your designs to life with interactions

Create websites that captivate users with click, hover, and scroll-based interactions. Add animations to showcase content or enhance the user experience.

• TLDR: Use triggers like hover, click, or scroll to build parallax effects, modals, and interactive content.
• Why it matters:Engaging interactions and animations help retain visitors and elevate your designs.

Keep your designs consistent with global CSS variables​

Achieve consistency across your designs with CSS variables for colors, typography, and spacing. Update your design system with a few clicks, and watch the changes apply everywhere.

• TLDR: Centralized control over your project’s styles for faster updates.

Run on WordPress, host anywhere​

• TLDR: Design without limits, all while staying within budget.
• Why it matters: Unlike Webflow’s tiered pricing or Framer’s per-site plans, Oxygen and WordPress let you focus on building, not budgeting.

Coming from Webflow or Framer?​

Webflow and Framer are incredible platforms for static sites, but they come with hosting restrictions, tiered pricing, and limited support for dynamic content. For creators who want the same design freedom while leveraging WordPress’s flexibility, Oxygen is the ideal alternative. Here’s why:

• Hosting freedom – choose any provider that fits your needs
• Scalable pricing – unlimited websites under one affordable subscription
• Dynamic content – full WordPress integration for data-driven designs
• Ownership – your content, design, and code remain yours.

With Oxygen, you can combine the creative power of tools like Webflow and Framer with the openness and scalability of WordPress.
