Elementor is built with a specific type of user in mind. Having said that is a tool that can be used by any and anyone. Have no web building experience? This is the tool for you. For newcomers it allows you to cut the middleman out and get things done yourself. For pros Elementor is great tool for quickly putting together launchpad websites for clients. I have been using it for almost a year now and I often use it when I need to create a few concept websites for my clients. For me its great for making lauchpad websites and concept pages for clients. I can quickly make something and be able to demo
Its free to use. Need I say more. Yes, and what is available in the free version is more than enough to get the job done. Elementor was made for easy WordPress page creation. Its great for people like myself that just want to get things done as easy and as quick as possible. Its puzzle like approach will have you adding in and swapping features and designs until you're satisfied. Oh, and it works well with other WordPress themes and plugins so you will never lack design ideas for your websites. Their customer service will assist you with whatever you need customized or help you troubleshoot problems.
The pro version is subscription based and is charged per website. This means every website that you want to utilize pro features you will need to have the required tier. While this is ok, if you’re just building your own website, if you're using Elementor as a dedicated web creation tool you will need to plunk down a fair amount for the expert version. Also, this is definitely not a tool for those who prefer to make adjustments to wordpress coding. Behind the sleek surface is very messy code that will require you to write even messier code to get your custom fixes working. Customer service is also behind the paywall so you may have to make due with forums and documentation to solve your issues.

Mostly I develop my websites in WordPress, even for the clients, I use WordPress. With Elementor I have designed professional pages on different websites. I have saved my lot of time, because before this when I was creating pages without this awesome builder, it was taking the time. But now Elementor has made my life very easy. The web pages looks very professional and unique which I have designed using the Elementor. So my experience with Elementor is really awesome, as a Web Developer and Designer, I really Love Elementor.
With Elementor you can design and build your web pages very fast. You can divide the containers of your content into different sections. Like, one container you can create two parts, three parts even four and more parts. Then in these sections, you can drag and drop different content elements like text, images, shortcode, videos, HTML and lots of more elements. Then in these elements, we can put our own website content. With Elementor you can design awesome pages. Without the knowledge of programming languages, you can create your web pages using Elementor.
I am honestly speaking, Elementor is really awesome. Only the thing is that there are two versions free and paid. In both versions, you can find lots of things. According to my experience and point of view, even if you are a free user you can build professional pages. I think so in the free version if Elementor includes more elements, it will be more awesome.

Elementor is a popular page builder plugin for WordPress that provides users with a visual drag-and-drop interface to create custom pages and layouts. Here are some pros and cons of using Elementor :1. User-friendly interface: Elementor has a very intuitive and user-friendly interface, making it easy for even non-technical users to create custom pages and layouts.2. Wide range of templates and blocks:...
1. Steep learning curve: While the interface is user-friendly, there is still a steep learning curve for new users, especially those who are not familiar with the basics of website design.2. Limited third-party integrations: While Elementor offers a wide range of templates and blocks, it does not have as many third-party integrations as some of its competitors.3. Lacks theme building capabilities: Elementor is primarily a page builder plugin and does not offer the same level of theme building capabilities as some other solutions on the market.4. Pricing: While Elementor offers a free version, the premium version can be expensive compared to some other page builder plugins.

Being a web designer for quite some time, I have tried using other website builders. But Elementor still exceeds my expectations, aside from being flexible, it's also very affordable.
What I love about Elementor is that aside from ease of use, i can create template blocks. I can use it on other website projects so my job becomes quicker.
I feel that it needs more done for you templates.

lo llevo usando hace más de 5 años y me parece una buena herramienta. Ha mejorado mucho la velocidad de carga de las páginas. Tengo licencia para muchos sitios. Hecho en falta la documentacion en castellano pero hay muhcas personas que hacen tutoriales sobre el producto sustituyendo lo que debería de hacer a mi juicio el desarrollador del software.
Es un constructor visual intuitivo y con una curva de aprendizaje relativamente baja que ayuda a ver como queda el diseño mientras se trabaja con los widgets
Lo que menos me gusta es que su soporte está solo en inglés y cuando saca versiones o proyectos no los notifica a los usuarios. Es decir, es un constructor intuitivo pero no porque Elementor lo ponga fácil. Hay funcionalidades que cuesta verlas loq ue hace que se pierda mucho tiempo investigando por el precio que se paga

I absolutely depend on it. As a stubborn old construction non tech individual, it has saved me time, money and has given me a wider understanding of the web itsself. I can't believe I only had to pay what I did. Thank you Elementor
This is the best plugin/site builder ever. Just with the free features you get more value for what you pay for the entire program. I am a penny pincher, and I take my sweet time before offering my hard earned money on programs, and I will tell you I wasted more time by not diving in sooner. Time is money folks, and I also completed eliminated my need to bug my kids or tech guys for help on my site. Mr. Construction, who works with his hands can now build websites, forums, and everything in between. Is it worth it? Yes, for the cost of a steak dinner, you get months of your life back
I can't stand the fact I waited so long! I would say...the only thing they could do better is give away free gold at the end of the rainbow. Simply, and honestly, nothing.

Elementor has been a trail-blazer in the WordPress page builder world. Many features came to Elementor first before being copied by other builders. That said, competition is fierce in this space, and the Elementor team continues to work hard to innovate. Is Elementor the best? That depends on your use-case. From experience I contend that Elementor is the best if you're building an e-commerce store with WordPress.
If you're building an e-commerce store with WordPress, it's smart to consider building with Elementor. As a WordPress page builder, Elementor is streamlined to work with WooCommerce and there are powerful third-party marketplace options to extend your online store's design and functionality. If you need help, there are plenty of online tutorials to guide you.
Having used Divi extensively before coming to Elementor, I found the interface confusing at first. Features are separated by tabs in the builder, which requires extra clicks to make design choices. That said, once you learn the user-interface, building becomes easy, and there's very few bugs to contend with (unlike other builders).

Overall, I would recommend this page builder to anyone setting up a website. It has a built-in pop-up builder as well which cost extra than other page builders I looked at
As an elderly person with limited technical skills, I found this software really simple to use. It worked for my basic website and blog. The support was helpful in educating me through the learning curve. I love the beautiful templates that allowed me to just plug and play my own personal information!
I did need to get some help from my colleagues to integrate and customize some of the widgets because it was too challenging.

Sincerely, I have never turned my back on Elementor every since I started using it. I have gained web design and development satisfaction by developing better solutions for clients.
Elementor came and changed the way we now use WordPress to build websites and web apps. I am in love with the fact that Elementor comes feature-packed with lots of free tools that are reusable and inheritable- an element can take a feature of another when properly set. Secondly, Elementor is the best WordPress builder there is even with its free version. I cannot start a WordPress project today without installing elementor as one of my first plugins. Its easy, feature-packed and upgradeable.
One thing I don't like about Elementor, and I really wish they do something about it, is the theme builder feature. I like the concept of trying to eradicate theme installations by letting users developed theirs, but that feature has hardly worked for me and I run away from its jurisdiction any time I open elementor to work.

We've used Elementor on 4 different high-traffic sites now and it's worked quite well. We tried a ton of other page builders and this one came out to be the winner. The support experience has been just OK--we haven't had to use it much, but when we do they can't go as deep as we'd like.
Page builders for WordPress keep popping out of the woodwork. My team uses Elementor and chose it for our new WordPress sites because it provides complete theme editing (including headers and footers), dynamic content (including working with custom post types and custom fields). The functionality is great and the IU is gorgeous as well. It's fast and it gives you a full look at the actual design--no boxes or rough approximations. There are so many widgets that you'll able to find whatever you need, especially with the after-market add-ins and templates.
The CSS and JS that are loaded are pretty heavy. It's absolutely essential that you get some sort of optimization plugin to deal with the extra number of requests created for a simple page, especially if you're using it everywhere on your site with a custom header. I also don't like that there's no "lifetime" option--the product is fairly expensive if you have to buy it every year, vs. just paying once for a theme that has lifetime updates. Still, it can replace a ton of other plugins, so that's a huge benefit and cost savings if you don't have to buy a handful of other widgets.

Elementor has served us with stability and customizability for years. It has made the initial design as well as subsequent maintenance on our websites easy to manage, and the software is well-maintained with frequent new feature releases.
Elementor makes it easy for designers, regardless of programming experience, to design and publish all aspects of a website that will satisfy most use-cases. And where the base software falls short, there are many plugins that are compatible with Elementor to expand its capability.
As with all page-builders of this sort, Elementor can sometimes cause websites to load slower than a custom solution would. But this seems to be a price that is paid for Elementor's competitors as well. I also am of the opinion that security patches need to be freely released without the need for a paid annual subscription. I understand the need to pay for new features, but security faults fixed later should not be an expense of the customer.

I have found it to be extremely easy to use and have had great results with it. It is very customizable and allows you to add a wide variety of elements to your pages. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for an easy way to create custom pages and posts.
There are many advantages of Elementor, a powerful WordPress page builder plugin. Some of these advantages include its user-friendliness, its wide range of templates and widgets, and its ability to create custom pages and posts. Elementor is very user-friendly. It is easy to use even for those who are not very familiar with WordPress or web design. It has a wide range of templates and widgets that make it easy to create beautiful pages and posts. And finally, Elementor allows users to create custom pages and posts, which gives them more control over their website’s content.
One downside is that it can be slow to load on some websites. Another issue is that it can be difficult to use for people who are not familiar with web design or coding. Additionally, Elementor can be expensive if you want to use all of the features it offers.

I think it works very well, sometimes it can be a bit slow, nothing that can't be improved. I would not change it for any other plugin, I think it is more complete and compatible with everything you can imagine in wordpress
the ease of integrating everything.They are always adding new things in their updates.I love that putting and dropping all the blocks are very good for building pages from scratch if I wish.the predesigned templates are very good, we use them a lot.It integrates super well with our autoresponder and I like that because we can trust the metrics.ABOVE ALL that I don't have to touch code at all. i am very happy with elementor
When I switched to the PRO version, what I disliked was over.

We used to use wix but we migrated to Wordpress and started using elementor. It has been the best thing we have done, we have very good results in all our websites with this tool.
This tool is one of my favorites, I use it every day to develop websites in our company, it is very easy to develop a web page using Elementor, in addition, it has multiple templates and predesigned blocks that we can easily use in the company for websites.
I think that the free Elementor option has many limitations, the sites that are developed with this option are very basic, I must combine this with other plugins to have good results. But the PRO version is very complete and allows you to use 100% of all the functionality.

Before Elementor plugin I was creating pages using simple WordPress Default editor. But now my Web development life has been changed. Because now I design pages of my websites using the Elementor. Because this plugin allow me to build the webpage according to my requirements. My experience with Elementor is really awesome, because I have created a number of sites using this plugin and I also use this plugin in the websites of my clients. I am really happy with Elementor.
With Elementor you can build professional and beautiful web pages. There are lots of elements in Elementor plugin, just drag and drop them in your pages and then edit the content according to your own content. You can divide the rows into different sections, and then in each section you can add images, text, videos, html shortcodes and lots of other useful content elements. The interface of this plugin is really easy to use and understand. You can see your webpage along with the options of this plugin. So just use the elements, edit the content and build a professional website.
There are two options in this plugin, free and pro. I think so in free plugin there should be some more options for the new users. Those new widgets can be very useful for the beginners.

All in all, I would say Elementor has made managing and designing our WordPress site a lot easier. While much of the heavy lifting can be done in the WordPress dashboard itself, many things are easier to do in Elementor's drag-and-drop interface. While I don't think it is quite the easiest or most intuitively designed website editor/CMS I've ever used, I think it is far better than just WordPress on its own.
My favorite part of the Elementor software is its drag-and-drop interface. Since WordPress itself has a sort of old-fashioned, archaic editing suite, Elementor's easier-to-use editing tools and drag-and-drop editing options make editing, creation, and upkeep of our website a lot more manageable.
While Elementor is a little easier to figure out than the WordPress dashboard itself, I'd still say it has a bit of a learning curve. My least favorite part of Elementor is how complex it can be. While the interface is primarily drag-and-drop and icon-based, you can still get a little lost in some of the menus and options. Unfortunately, this is less the fault of Elementor and more a byproduct of the WordPress underpinnings that make it all work. Fortunately, the support documentation and help section of the Elementor site is excellent, so I think it more than makes up for the learning curve.

I use Elementor on personal websites, as a freelance website builder, and at work for an internet marketing company. We focus on WordPress websites and this builder has been such a game changer. More of our team is able to jump in and do their jobs without having to know code or pass fixes off to someone who does. We are also able to implement more complex and interesting-looking websites more simply, meaning savings for us and for our clients.
The pricing is affordable, and the value is fantastic. Initial builds and changes are both quick and simple. Going from design to finished website is so much faster with Elementor. They are constantly improving their builder.
Sometime text element spacing is unpredictable. So we have to look in multiple places to find out what is causing the text to behave that way. Some templates look fantastic, but have been implemented in less than ideal ways that are easy to break and difficult to customize.

Elementor is great to work with. It has a lean learning curve, a huge and helpful community, and there are add-ons for just about anything you'd need. Its features are great for marketing purposes too (popups, forms, sticky elements, etc.), making it a great choice for landing pages too.
Besides being a fantastic page builder with a lean learning curve, I mostly like the huge community that has formed around Elementor. There's an entire "ecosystem" developed around Elementor: there are so many fantastic add-ons developed by the community and even themes developed specifically for Elementor
The loading speed of pages built with Elementor is often bigger than some other page builders, such as Oxygen Builder. I feel like this area could be improved, so that Elementor does not load scripts and styles of elements that are not inserted on the page. While it may not build the fastest pages (in terms of the loading speed due to page size), it does a much better job than most of its competition (Divi builder, WP Bakery Page builder, etc.).

I started with Elementor as a result of needing to put together a sales funnel. I looked at many, many templates and Elementor was the fastest and easiest. I use it for two of my sites and it's really nice once you get the feel for it.
Really easy to install. I was able to start making pages in just a few minutes, and only after a day, I was able to create pages for one of my sales sites. Modular, easy to drop in embed codes.
Many of the best features are only available in the pro version. It's not the default editor. I am still digging through their documentation to figure out if this is even possible. Otherwise, you have to make multiple clicks to edit a page with it, versus the Wordpress default.

Elementor helps me to build websites super fast and they look pretty responsive and attractive. I highly recommend it.
Elementor is my preferred web builder. It's very easy to use and provides incredibly web building experience with its drag & drog capabilities. It's very smooth and has a lot of pretty pre-made templates that in reality, helps to maximize my workflow thereby reducing workload. It's cheap and can still be accessible without money, however, the free plan is limited in many ways. To really enjoy the power of this tool, I recommend upgrading to a paid version.
Sometimes it doesn't provide full historical data. I also discovered that the tool is so sensible to an extend where objects can be easily displaced from their initial positions when I mistakenly double-click my mouse. Secondly, when I have more than 4 elementor addons installed, It seems to take an eternity for elementor to load on my pages. I suggest these bugs should be fixed by developers.

My experience has been really good, I already recommended to many people and they are happy too. Even with the free version of Elementor was very happy so now with the Pro I am extremely satisfied.
I love the fact that Elementor offers free and paid version, I used the free version for several months before jumping to the paid plan, in this way you can really make sure you like the product and know what to expect from it. Using Elementor is easy, it take several days to understand how everything works and then you will be building sites in no time. Elementor let you customized some parts of the website that is not possible with most of the WP themes within some coding, such the header, footer, single post and archive. Being able to edit those parts give you the opportunity to have a standing site different from others.
The fact that they do not have ready to import demos, I mean entire sites, this would be super B. And I just wish they offer some more features so I would not need to use an elementor extension plugin to achieve something.

I definitely recommend Elementor for both newbies and experts. It is undoubtedly the best page builder for WordPress.
I started using Elementor for my WordPress page only a few weeks ago. I have heard of Elementor way back 2016 when it was first released and when the hype about it was at the peak. I did not actually attempted to download it before since I had the technical part outsourced. Now that I discovered Elementor, I am pretty much convinced that I don't need to pay someone else to do the page building because...
Cons - 1. No option for one-time payment. I would much rather pay once than every month. I think this is one thing that competitors have against Elementor as they offer the choice of buying the whole thing at once. 2. Lack of support for integrations such as with ACF and PODS. I don't necessary need this now but I prefer for this to be ready for when it becomes a must for my page. It's not a deal breaker but I hope the developers can fix it.

Es un software con el que trabajo a diario y da unos resultados muy espectaculares. Después de probar otros softwares de construcción web, este es sin duda el más productivo.
Elementor es esencial en mi trabajo. Ayuda enormemente a enseñar al equipo, además de dar un resultado muy profesional. La creación de webs con este constructor es ágil dinámico y resultados espectaculares.
Cómo todo software y más en términos de creación web, hay veces que da fallos que no son fáciles de solucionar y el servicio técnico no facilita mucho esa comunicación.
