After spending 15 years as a graphic designer and earning a business degree, I launched my agency, OGAL Web Design, in 2017. A year later, after finding the amazing community around WordPress, I co-found The Admin Bar, which has grown to become the #1 community for WordPress professionals. I'm a husband and proud father of three, and a new resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

After struggling with performance in Elementor, and feeling like Gutenberg isn’t quite ready for me yet, I finally decided to check out the Oxygen Builder.

I had always assumed it was going to be too steep of a learning curve for me, as Oxygen has the reputation of being “for developers”. But after just a couple weeks of experimenting I was presently surprised at just how easy it was to learn.

This is a recording of a live webinar I did in January of 2021 called Oxy-Curious: Get the skinny on the most lightweight page builder for WordPress. If you’re considering making the switch to Oxygen, or not sure if it’s the right fit for you, this webinar will walk you through the whole system and help you figure out if it’s worth exploring.

As I started figuring out Oxygen, I continuously bookmarked all the goodies I found along the way.  A special thanks to folks like Christoph Heine and Daniel Tullberg who sent me a ton too!

I’ve marked the things I’ve personally bought, used, or experienced myself with an asterisks.

Course

  • Ultimate Oxygen Course by Permaslug* – If you want to get up and running with a complete knowledge of Oxygen, then this is the absolute best and fastest way to do it!

    70+ individual videos with over 6 hours of content including basic & advanced features. Includes access to other bonuses (ACF, WooCommerce, etc.) and a lifetime membership for future updates (this is an affiliate link).

Tutorials / Videos

  • Permaslug* – Jonathan produces regular content on Oxygen, including tutorials and advantced techniques. 
  • Isotropic Design* – James posts all kinds of web design related videos & tutorials, using Oxygen for most of it.
