No Elementor, no separate page builder, no stack of add-ons. #### Six things you get * **Visual builder.** Drag blocks onto the page, style them in a design panel, and see the result at once — on desktop, tablet and mobile in the same window. * **Complete theme builder.** Header, footer, single posts, archives, search and 404 are built in the same editor, with conditions that say where each one applies. * **A client area instead of wp-admin.** Your client gets pages, blog, messages, media, forms, statistics and users in plain words, with your logo on top. * **Forms and media.** Contact and booking forms with an inbox and a mail log; a media library with folders, cropping and alternative texts. * **SEO and statistics.** Titles, descriptions, sitemap and a score per page — and visitors counted on your own server, without a cookie and without a third party. * **Speed and privacy.** Cached pages, WebP and AVIF, fonts served from your own site. Nothing is loaded from anyone else’s server unless you ask for it. #### Build the whole website One editor covers everything a visitor sees: * Pages * Header and footer * Blog index, single posts, archives * Search results and the 404 page * Reusable parts, used on many pages at once Colours, fonts, spacing and text styles are set once and used everywhere — change one, and the whole site follows. Two things a page builder usually cannot do: you can **work on a page that is already online** without changing what visitors see — saving keeps a draft, and you publish when it suits, now or at a time you set. And you can **put two versions side by side**, with what changed marked in green, red and orange, and restore one with a click. #### Give clients their own back end The client area at `/themebuilder/admin/` is the whole back end for the people who run the site. No plugin list, no update notices, no settings they should not touch— and no wp-admin. You decide per role and per area what they see and may change: see and change, see only, or hidden. Fine switches go down to publishing, deleting and changing an address, and a single page can have its own rule. In the editor, a role can be allowed to change words and pictures without being able to move a block. That makes ambera useful for agencies and freelancers — not only while the website is being built, but for the years after it is handed over. #### Start with a complete demo website Twenty-five finished websites come free: a bakery, a coaching practice, a locksmith, a hotel, a portfolio, a moving company and more. One click installs a demo with its pages, header, footer, templates, menus and pictures; another click removes it completely. Then you edit it with the same builder you would use for your own design. #### Free and Pro The free version is fully functional: you can build and run a complete website with it. [Pro](https://amberathemebuilder.com/) extends ambera for professional, multilingual and commercial websites: a shop with orders and invoices, memberships and courses, a newsletter, thirty languages, custom fields, AI assistance, editable templates for posts and archives, more blocks, tasks, backups and an early firewall. Pro is a separate plugin. Nothing in this free plugin is locked or waits for a key: what is listed above is simply not in it. ### External services The plugin talks to the services below. Each one is called only in the situation described, never in the background. **Demo catalogue (amberathemebuilder.com)** When you open the demo screen, the plugin fetches the list of demos from `https://amberathemebuilder.com/katalog/demos. json`. When you install a demo, it downloads that demo’s zip file from the same host. The request carries no personal data and no site information beyond what any HTTP request carries (the server’s IP address). The service is run by the plugin author, ambera GmbH; [terms](https://amberathemebuilder.com/agb/), [privacy policy](https://wordpress-theme-builder.com/privacy/). **Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com)** When you type a font name under Settings Fonts and press “Fetch and store it”, your server downloads the font files once from Google and stores them in your uploads folder. From then on the font is served from your own site; visitors’ browsers never contact Google. The request is made by your server, not by visitors, and sends the font name only. [Terms](https://developers.google.com/fonts/terms), [privacy policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy). **Pixabay (pixabay.com)** The media manager can search free stock photos on Pixabay. This works only after you enter your own Pixabay API key under Settings; without a key nothing is sent. When you search, the search words and your key are sent to` https://pixabay.com/api/`; when you pick a photo, the image file is downloaded from Pixabay to your media library. [Terms](https://pixabay.com/service/terms/), [privacy policy](https://pixabay.com/service/privacy/). **Country lookup (api.country.is)** The statistics module can look up a visitor’s country. By default it reads the country from a header your CDN sets (Cloudflare and others) and asks nothing outside. If you switch on the country lookup under Settings Statistics, the visitor’s IP address is sent to `https://api.country.is/` and only the two-letter country code is stored. This is off by default. [Privacy policy](https://country.is/). **Video embeds (YouTube, Vimeo)** The video block shows a poster image and loads the player from `youtube-nocookie.com` or `player.vimeo.com` only after the visitor clicks. [YouTube terms](https://www.youtube.com/t/terms), [Vimeo privacy](https://vimeo.com/privacy). **Support portal (portal.amberathemebuilder.com)** “Support ticket” and “Feature request” on the Help screen are links that open the plugin author’s support portal in a new tab. The link carries your site’s host name and a short technical summary( plugin, WordPress and PHP version, site language) so the form there is prefilled; nothing is sent unless you click the link, and nothing is submitted until you send the form on the portal. The plugin itself never calls the portal. Run by ambera GmbH; [terms](https://amberathemebuilder.com/agb/), [privacy policy](https://wordpress-theme-builder.com/privacy/). **Help videos (YouTube)** The Help screen can show short tutorial films. A tile shows only the title; the player from `youtube-nocookie.com` is loaded when you press play, and only then. [YouTube terms](https://www.youtube.com/t/terms), [Google privacy policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy). **PayPal button (paypal.com)** The PayPal block renders a plain form that leads to `https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr` when a visitor clicks the button. Only then, and only what you entered in the block, is sent: your PayPal e-mail address, the item name, amount and currency, and the return address. The plugin itself never calls PayPal. [User agreement](https://www.paypal.com/legalhub/useragreement-full), [privacy statement](https://www.paypal.com/legalhub/privacy-full). **Share links (Facebook, X, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram, Pinterest)** The share block is a row of ordinary links to the share pages of these networks. A link opens the network with the address and title of the page when a visitor clicks it; no script from any network is loaded and nothing is sent before the click. [Meta privacy](https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/), [X privacy](https://x.com/privacy), [LinkedIn privacy](https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy), [WhatsApp privacy](https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/privacy-policy), [Telegram privacy](https://telegram.org/privacy), [Pinterest privacy](https://policy.pinterest.com/privacy-policy). **Interpol (interpol.int)** When the firewall is set to “harsh” and an address on the block list keeps coming back, the blocked request is answered with a redirect to Interpol’s public cybercrime page instead of an error page. This is a plain redirect of the blocked visitor; nothing is sent to Interpol by the plugin. **Images in imported HTML** When you paste HTML into the editor’s import, images that point to another server are copied into your media library so the page does not load from there on every visit. Your server fetches only the image addresses in the HTML you pasted. ## Screenshots [⌊The visual builder: the page in the middle, blocks on the left, the design panel on the right — desktop, tablet and mobile in the same window.⌉⌊The visual builder: the page in the middle, blocks on the left, the design panel on the right — desktop, tablet and mobile in the same window.⌉[ The visual builder: the page in the middle, blocks on the left, the design panel on the right — desktop, tablet and mobile in the same window.

Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install it from the plugin directory. 2. Activate it under Plugins. 3. Open **ambera** in the admin menu. The dashboard walks you through the first steps: pick a demo or start blank, set your colours and fonts, edit the header and footer. 4. Set up the client area if someone else will run the website. The plugin brings its own theme layer. If you keep another theme active, ambera renders the pages you assign to it and leaves the rest to the theme. ## FAQ ### Is ambera Theme Builder free? Yes. This plugin is free and complete: the builder, the theme layer, the client area, forms, media, SEO, statistics, redirects, security and twenty-five demo websites. There is no key, no account and no trial period. ### What is the difference between Free and Pro? Free builds and runs a whole website. Pro adds what a commercial or multilingual site needs: shop, memberships and courses, newsletter, thirty languages, custom fields, AI, editable templates for posts and archives, more blocks, tasks, backups. See the [feature comparison](https://amberathemebuilder.com/en/features/). ### Do I need Elementor, Divi or another page builder? No. ambera has its own visual builder for pages and for the theme around them. It is not an add-on for another builder. ### Do I still need a theme? No. ambera renders header, footer and every template itself. A block theme can stay installed — WordPress needs one to be active, and ambera works with any. ### Can I use ambera for client websites? Yes, and that is what it is built for. The client area gives the people who run the site a back end of their own, and you decide what they may change. ### Can clients manage their website without wp-admin? Yes. Pages, blog, messages, media, forms, statistics and users are in the client area, in plain words. The WordPress dashboard stays with you. ### Can I import a complete website? Yes. Twenty-five demo websites install with one click, with pages, templates, menus and pictures, and can be removed just as easily. ### Does it work with the block editor (Gutenberg)? Yes. Posts written in the block editor are shown inside the templates you build. Pages can be built with either editor; ambera’s editor is used for the layout of the site itself. ### Does the plugin send anything home? Nothing without your action. There is no tracking and no licence check — this plugin has no key, no account and no licence server; updates come from wordpress.org through WordPress’ own update check. The demo catalogue, Google Fonts and the stock-photo search are loaded only when you open those screens or press those buttons; see “ External services”. ### Is the statistics module GDPR-friendly? It counts on your server, sets no cookie and stores no IP address. The visitor’s country comes from your CDN’s header if there is one; the optional lookup at an external service is off by default. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “ambera Theme Builder” is open source software.
