Metro Page Builder
Build the page you actually pictured.
A Dream builder for School Sites .
Drag blocks onto the canvas in the admin, then open the same page on the front end and move things while you look at them. No shortcodes, no theme lock-in, and nothing to upload.

The catalogue
All 100 add-ons.
Not a selection.
Not "50+", and not the six that photograph well. This list is read out of the component itself when the page loads, so it is exactly what you install — and it grows on its own the day a new block ships.

Why this one
Four decisions you will feel
on day one.
Edit on the front end
Build in the admin, then open the live page and move things while you look at them.
Superuser only
The front-end editor checks core.admin on both the render and the save, independently. Drag between sections, overlap deliberately, twenty-five steps of undo.
Nothing can be uploaded
The component has no upload endpoint at all — not a disabled one, not a guarded one.
Zero attack surface
The whole class of file-upload vulnerabilities that keeps hitting page builders needs somewhere to post a file. There is nowhere.
It bends to your template
Metro reads your Joomla menus and your template's colours instead of replacing them.
Custom properties
Sections redeclare CSS variables, so an integrated component restyles itself. No !important, no file edits, nothing to redo after an update.
Custom CSS on everything
Every block, row and section takes its own CSS. This page is built entirely from it.
Scoped for you
Write `& { }` and it is scoped to that block alone. You cannot accidentally restyle the rest of the site from inside one card.
Inside the builder
Two ways to build.
The same page either way.
Lay the page out in the admin with the palette and the inspector, or open it on the front end and move things while you look at them. Same page, same blocks, saved to the same place.
- PaletteFifty-eight blocks, grouped and searchable
- Spot toolbarDuplicate, move or delete without leaving the block
- CanvasDrag anywhere. Sections overlap on purpose
- InspectorStyle and Advanced tabs on every block
Blocks placed by dragging 100%
No shortcodes anywhere
Layouts you can start from 100%

GPL, readable, yours
Start from something
226 layouts included.
Every one of them editable.
Schools, clinics, restaurants, shops, course catalogues, portfolios. Load one, change the words and the colours, and you have a site. Nothing is locked.
Every one of these ships
Start from a design,
not from an empty page.
Build in an afternoon, not in days.
Install, pick a layout, replace the words. The parts that usually eat a week — the menu, the header, the mobile breakpoints — are already done and already wired to your Joomla menus.
Updates never break a page
Every release installs clean or updates in place, and pages built on an older version keep rendering. That is a test, not a promise.

234 to start from, or an empty canvas if you would rather.

Make it yours
Drag blocks in, set colours, write the words. Custom CSS on anything that needs it.

Tune it live
Open the page on the front end and nudge things while you look at them.

Ship
Meta, keywords and robots are on the page's second tab, already length-checked.
Side by side
What you get, and what you
usually get.
No brand names, because the point is not who else is out there — it is which of these lines you have been living with.
| Metro Page Builder | The usual arrangement | |
|---|---|---|
| Add-ons | 99, all included | A free tier and a "pro" tier |
| Ready-made layouts | 234, all editable | Downloaded one at a time |
| Front-end editing | Yes, superuser only | Often a separate product |
| Custom CSS | Every block, row and section | Sometimes, sometimes not |
| File upload endpoint | None at all | Usually several |
| Encoded files | None. GPL throughout | Varies, and you find out later |
| Your Joomla menus | Read and rendered as they are | Rebuilt in the builder |
| Template lock-in | None. Works on any template | Frequently its own template |
| Meta and robots | On every page, length-checked | A separate extension |
What this thing believes
Four commitments the code actually keeps. When there are customer quotes worth printing, they go right here.
Nothing on a page should animate before the finished state has rendered. If the script never arrives, the page is still complete.
A component with no upload endpoint cannot have an upload vulnerability. That is worth more than any amount of validation.
A block's CSS is scoped to that block. You cannot restyle the rest of the site from inside one card, even by accident.
Your template keeps its menus, its fonts and its colours. Metro fits into a site; it does not replace one.
Pricing
One product. No tiers of add-ons.

Before you buy
The questions people actually ask.
If yours is not here, ask before you buy rather than after.
Not sure it fits? Ask before you buy - a straight answer costs us nothing and saves you a refund.
Will it work with my template?
Yes. Metro renders into whatever template you already run, and reads your existing Joomla menus rather than asking you to rebuild them. There is no Metro template you are obliged to switch to.
Do I need to know CSS?
No, and you are not stopped from using it. Everything on this page can be built from the settings panels; the custom CSS field is there for the day a client asks for something no panel anticipated.
What happens when the year of updates ends?
The version you have keeps working forever. You stop receiving new ones until you renew. Nothing phones home and nothing switches off.
Is anything encoded?
No. It is GPL PHP, CSS and JavaScript you can open and read. If a vendor will not let you read the code that runs on your server, that is the answer to a different question.
Can my editors break the site?
The front-end editor is superuser-only, checked independently when the page is drawn and again when it is saved. Custom HTML is also superuser-only, for the same reason.
Does it slow the page down?
Nothing loads that a page does not use. Video blocks show a thumbnail and a play button until someone clicks, so no third-party player is fetched on load.
What about SEO?
Every page has a second tab for title, description, keywords, robots and AI-crawler directives, with the optimal lengths enforced as you type rather than checked afterwards.
Does it work with Adhrit LMS or Rudra ERP?
Yes, and it restyles them. Sections redeclare the CSS variables those components already read, so their own modules pick up your colours with no file edits.
Everything above was built with the thing you are buying.
No hand-written HTML, no theme that only the sales page gets. View the source and you are looking at the output of the same blocks that arrive in the box.
30-day refund. GPL licence. No account required to use it.
