An Oxygen Builder alternative for clean code without coding
Oxygen gives developers total control and clean output by replacing the WordPress theme system. Canvasly Web Studio aims for the same clean, fast pages, but you design them visually, and they import into WordPress without switching off your theme.

Why switch from Oxygen to Canvasly
Clean output without hand-coding. Canvasly compiles semantic HTML, one minified stylesheet and only the JavaScript the page needs, while you design visually.
Code access when you want it.Edit HTML Code (Ctrl+U) shows the page's HTML and JavaScript, and edited blocks stay editable in the inspector.
No theme takeover. Oxygen switches off the theme system for the whole site. Canvasly only adds the pages you design.
A smaller commitment. Your site doesn't depend on one builder for its entire design.
Designer-friendly extras. 22 entrance animations, hover and scroll effects, a Landing Page Generator and an AI assistant.
When Oxygen is the better choice
Oxygen is the better fit if you are a developer building a whole WordPress site from scratch, with dynamic data and templates for every post type. Canvasly is built for designed pages that should load fast, look the same with any theme and publish to WordPress or any host.
Moving pages from Oxygen to Canvasly
Open the published page with Import → URL, or save it and use File → Open HTML File. Canvasly turns it into an editable project and copies its images, stylesheets and fonts.
Refine the design in the editor, or ask the AI assistant to restyle a section.
Export as WordPress, install the small Canvasly plugin and import the pages with Tools → Import → WordPress.
Check the new pages, then retire the old ones.
Questions
Is Canvasly output as clean as Oxygen's?
Canvasly exports semantic HTML, one minified stylesheet with only the units you used, and a script with only the features you used. Compare a page from each with PageSpeed Insights to see the difference on your site.
Can developers edit the code?
Yes. Edit HTML Code shows the page's HTML and JavaScript, and you can add custom CSS to any element or to the whole site.
Does Canvasly switch off my theme?
No. Only the pages you import use the Canvasly full page template; the rest of the site keeps your theme.
