Media Companies Using WPBakery in the UK: 116 Active Firms (2026)

Updated June 2026

Media and publishing companies using visual page builders produce digital content, advertising and subscription sites for UK audiences.

For publishers, a visual page-builder layer is usually a production tool rather than a core editorial system: it lets web, audience and commercial teams assemble home pages, campaign pages, advertorial hubs and event microsites without asking developers for each layout change. Adoption tends to signal a small or mid-market operation with direct digital audience acquisition, recurring template work and enough web maintenance budget to support plugins, design governance and periodic site fixes. The buyer is often the editor-publisher, marketing lead or outsourced web partner; engagements are typically modest retainers, redesign projects or ongoing template support rather than enterprise platform programmes.

Across the UK, 116 companies in this media and publishing cohort are actively trading. Employment footprint is concentrated in the organisations that disclose staff numbers: all 39 with staff disclosure report some headcount, together accounting for 482 employees. Among media and publishing sites where page-builder use is identified, this stack is the runner-up option, with an 11.9% share across 972 sites. London accounts for 33.6% of adopters, ahead of South East 15.5%, North West 12.9%, South West 11.2% and East of England 6.9%.

Media publishers using visual page builders sit in a familiar governance gap: the builder itself is usually procured as part of a site-maintenance stack, while risk tends to arise from tracking, forms, embedded media and subscription journeys layered around it. ICO and GDPR obligations matter where analytics, advertising pixels, newsletter sign-ups or reader accounts process personal data. Editorial teams also need change controls, because reusable blocks can put commercial copy, affiliate disclosure, competition terms or sponsored-content labelling into live templates without much developer review.

Adoption appears likely to remain sticky among small and mid-market publishers that need in-house control over campaign pages, sponsored-content hubs and event microsites. New build decisions tend to be shaped less by page editing alone than by site performance, consent management, search visibility and the availability of affordable web partners. Some publishers will move towards more structured editorial and design systems as digital subscriptions and first-party audience work mature. Others are likely to keep visual builders in place because the cost of retraining editorial, commercial and marketing teams can outweigh the benefits of a cleaner rebuild.
