Kirki
RivendicaKirki is a WordPress website builder for freeform layouts, structured content sites and interactive pages, with a free plan and migration tools.
Overview
Kirki is a WordPress website builder focused on freeform visual design. The product positions itself as an infinite canvas experience, replacing the usual section, row, and column structure with a layout workflow that lets users place and style content more directly.
The platform combines page building, a built-in CMS, collaboration tools, and interaction design features in one product. Its pricing page also shows a free plan, paid Pro, Agency, and Lifetime options, with free installation and a stated 60-day money-back guarantee on paid plans.
Key capabilities
Built-in CMS
Manage structured content with collections, custom fields, reference and multi-reference fields, dynamic templates, scheduling, and collection filtering/pagination.
Collaboration and handoff
Work with multiple editors on the same project, leave comments on the canvas, use staging mode, and keep publish history for review.
Interactions and animations
Design motion with a visual interaction timeline, support for scroll/click/hover/mouse-move triggers, interaction presets, text animations, and Lottie files.
Migration tools
Import from Figma, HTML, or another builder while preserving styles, spacing, and layouts.
Site-building tools
Create forms, popups, and other site elements from the included toolset, alongside core elements and components.
Common use cases
Custom page layouts
Create marketing pages or landing pages without being limited to a fixed section-row-column structure, using the freeform canvas and responsive breakpoints.
Structured content management
Build content-driven WordPress sites that need collections, custom fields, dynamic templates, and schedule-to-publish workflows.
Team collaboration and approvals
Work with clients or teammates on the same build using real-time editing, canvas comments, staging mode, and client share links.
Site migration
Move an existing design or site into Kirki by importing from Figma, HTML, or another builder and keeping the original spacing and layout.
Interactive design work
Add motion and interaction details such as scroll or hover effects, text animations, and Lottie files without leaving the builder.

FAQ
Does the free plan stay free?
Kirki Free is on WordPress.org and is described as always free, with no trial period, credit card, or expiry date.
What is a site license?
A site license covers one WordPress installation, meaning one domain and one site. If you need it on multiple sites, Agency provides unlimited licenses.
What happens when a paid subscription ends?
The live site keeps working after a subscription ends, but you lose future updates and support. Existing features remain available, though you cannot install new templates or apps unless you renew.
Does Kirki work with any WordPress theme?
Yes. The source says Kirki works with any WordPress theme on any hosting setup, with no conflicts or special requirements.
Do staging sites count against the license?
Yes. Local development and staging environments do not count against a site license; only live production sites count.
