    Hi Engine,

    Preface: You can find the developer documentation here.

    All elements on a web page are contained inside of widgets

    It really depends on what you mean by element. If you mean “everything you see on the page”, then no. Everything you add through SiteOrigin Page Builder (outside of rows and cells) are widgets.

    Widgets are written in HTML and CSS

    Widgets are written in PHP and if the widget calls for it, JavaScript. HTML and CSS (and optionally LESS) are used for the widget templates and styling.

    The source code for widgets is available and can be edited

    Yes. However, we would never recommend directly editing a widget and would instead recommend extending it.

    New widgets can be created

    Correct. For more information, please refer to this page.
