I was stuck and Limited in my work field as a designer a couple of years ago, since I discovered elementor, I've been able to take a HUGE step forward in my website designer career since now I'm able to sell website development as part of my website design services; The Learning curve (for the basics) and the price for the Pro version have been so worthful and I have plans to keep using and learning the software for a long time.
Elementor is a Jewel on the current Website Design & Development Market, I love the fact that the amount of unique and high-end responsive websites you can create with this tool is only limited by your imagination and creativity, it's easy to use, and they always incorporate new amazing and trending feature & even tutorials for you to learn how to create professional websites without knowing to code.
If there's any counterpart of using Elementor, is the fact that they still need to work a lot on Speed Optimization (Page Speed Load, Script Usage, Etc). You can't really blame them; It's hard to keep up with this with a framework that's constantly evolving adding more powerful features. Also, let's face it guys, your customer support team needs to improve a lot.

It is an excellent tool to take our website or landing page to the next level, in addition to having multiple functionalities for maintenance and updating, based on the best practices for an attractive and organized design; on the other hand, it works very well with other existing platform integrations and speeds up deployments without the need to know any programming.
Elementor is an excellent tool to make us grow and generate an exceptional product when we talk about the creation or optimization of pages, in addition to allowing us to easily manage our content in a modern and secure environment. It is a page creation tool that allows us to design beautiful pages without having to write a single line of code from the first digital draft to the publication or website page, as well as the categorization and tagging of content.
Sometimes, deciding the content of our publication represents a great opportunity, and this is one of the advantages of using Elementor page builder since with its functionality to support and increase the design, it promotes a unique user experience for each type. of content, making it much simpler and more efficient.Elementor makes it easy to configure multiple items such as the title, category and chosen tags, we can organize and create our content for publication using more than one element of the Text Editor, avoiding inserting content packaged as one.

I've used Elementor on a number of sites and, together with add-ons, have been able to create some nice looking pages. It's my go-to plugin if I'm building a site from scratch. I have not bought the premium version but if I used the plugin on a daily basis might be tempted. There are some very active user communities on Facebook, and most answers to problems can be found there. I haven't found the plugin to be especially buggy, but occasionally I've had to log out of Wordpress and login again to clear an error. That's fairly rare to be fair.
The free version of Elementor is pretty powerful - for most tasks you;re going to find what you need. Drag and drop, page sizing and editing are very easy, and so much more powerful than Wordpress' native Gutenberg editor
Well not everything is free, and when you want to start tuning up your site, some of the controls are far from intuitive. If you use this every day you will quickly get your head around some of the more complex elements, BUT, if you're a less regualr user, some of the less intuitive stuff may become annoying.

Overall most of our clients use the free version of elementor which works fine for basic to average business or personal blog. Templates in Pro version and Elementor add ons can save a lot of time building responsive and eye-catching design of the website. Easier to learn than any builder available for WordPress.For our medium to large scale company clients, Pro version with add on is used. It's so easy that basic modification can be done by clients themselves. Helpful for every WordPress designing our office both for our business as well as doing theme customization service for our valuable customers equally.
This is the most under friendly page builder we ever used for WordPress site. Easy to make full company website with widget, sidebar, header, footer, and section. Templates provide a quick and simple method to build stunning sites in hours. Many free plugins enhance this builder and add new sections elements to use which are otherwise paid. Element Pro is even more convenient to use. It provides extra elements to add in sections especially helpful in building online product stores quickly and easily.
Pricing for Pro may be higher for some initial scale blogs. Some time loading takes time in saving heavy elements of elementor theme and not autosaved correctly. But it's a rare event. Mostly editing and modification work fine.

I started using Elementor when it first came out, even before there was a Pro version of Elementor. And once Elementor Pro came out, I bought that immediately and renew my subscription every year. This is a no-brainer for me. I use Elementor to build websites for my businesses and those of my wife. It's been a great experience from the beginning. I can build nice looking websites even though I have no idea how to code.
Tons of features that allow you to customize your website to look the way you want it to look. And without coding knowledge! Continually being updated with new features. They tend to "push the envelope" in terms of releasing new features (and then other page builders copy them). So Built on the WordPress platform.
With all the features that have been added over the years, it's not as easy to use for a newbie as it used to be.

Overall I'd definitely choose this over other builders and suggest to anyone in 2022.
Easy to use, have pretty much every feature you may need, the builder loads faster than other WordPress builders, Fast loading website, Free version helps a lot of new businesses. Works fantastic with WP Rocket.
The builder sometimes does not load and I have to spend a lot of time fixing it! I have found that many plugins may cause a crash on elementor's builder. I know it's not Elementor's fault but still make me wanna go browse and test other builders.

Overall I would say it has been a good experience. It is nice and easy and drag and drop which certainly is nice and convenient. It has made things faster for me to do and implement and build upon for me atleast at the point I am at right now. Overall it is good and convenient and nice I feel.
It’s overall a great, easy, convenient, intuitive, fast, and good product I feel. You can do a lot with it and there is a lot of add ons for it which is nice. Overall a good solid first website builder to use if you are new and don’t know code and want a drag and drop convenient and easy enough to use system I feel.
I feel maybe my main gripe is the pricing structure I believe it’s like $50 a year and that’s for I wanna say only like 1 website. Which if you look at the competition like specifically divi its like $89 a year or $250 for a lifetime and unlimited websites and so overall divi is by far a better deal I feel especially if you are a web development agency or so. Other then that I am sure there is others but off the top of head. I guess I just don’t have anything right now.

I use Elementor to build Wordpress pages for users who want to be able to manage their own pages later on. The built in page builder of Wordpress is still in its infancy while Elementor has years of experience in this field and I believe that with that experience the end user experience is much better. I would recommend Elementor to everyone who wants to make beautiful layouts and knows how to manage speed optimizations and caching systems.
Elementor is generally great, it has a lot of blocks that you can reuse and it is easy to make complex layouts with just a few clicks of a button. It removes almost all need for writing css or html code. Elementor is very easy to use, and the basic version is completely free. Some of the more advanced things are reserved for the Pro version, but that is to be expected from such a high quality piece of software.
The Pro fee is a subscription, and I dislike those. I tend to move from subscription based software to single payment options whenever I can. Additionally, Elementor can be really slow sometimes and the pages built by it need a lot of optimization to be even close to the speed of pages built with only html+css.

It has been great, I use it for all my projects, either client and personal ones.
Elementor lets designers from all levels get into Wordpress front-end design. It has a big-featured visual editor that can help you achieve complex layouts and designs.
The Pro plan is more limited than before. Years ago you could purchase an unlimited license.

If you search for any tutorials on Elementor, you will get gushing YouTubers, who will praise the simplicity of Elementor. They then ask you to buy Elementor or the various 3rd party plugins through affiliate links which they earn commissions on. I have no problem with that and Elementor pays very nice affiliate commissions, but this also restricts the honesty about issues that they are having. We deal with various clients that have Elementor and other page builders and having to work around the free version or try and nail down the paid version to do everything you want it to do without 3rd party plugins, you are going to have to develop a lot of the functionality using custom code and CSS.
The templates and support are good. The amount of tutorials is fantastic and people are making amazing websites using Elementor.
The basic free version is basically unusable and if the client doesn't have a license or doesn't want to pay for the features, then their website is hamstrung. The software is faster than other page builders on the market, but it becomes clumsy and clunky when you have to install various 3rd party plugins to get the various plugins that make Elementor do what you want it to do.

While looking for page builder plugins, Elementor ended up having the best balance between functionality and code quality. A lot of other plugins were either/or. The built-in modules allowed us to seamlessly incorporate products from our store into popular blog posts.
The Woocommerce modules allowed us to insert our products into regular WordPress pages and blog posts either by shortcode or dragging and dropping. Any kind of website can be created with no coding skills needed. Worked surprisingly well with many WordPress themes that did not officially support Elementor.
The built in templates, both "blocks" which are webpage elements and full website pages have boring designs out of the box. You'll probably need to hire a UI designer if you want your site to stand out. No native support for popular SEO plugins like Yoast or SEOPress.

I run a small website agency and do all of our website builds. Elementor is my default page builder, unless a build calls for something else, for some reason (say customer prefers Divi, for example). I use it every day, and am very thankful for this awesome product.
First, the free version of Elementor is awesome. Cost aside, working with Elementor is just a pleasure compared to every pagebuilder I've used (which is most all of the known ones). Super easy, intuitive, and really cuts down on the workflow. There is so much to like about Elementor. Being able to save both pages, and sections as templates really cuts down on website build times.
The only thing that would be nice, in a perfect world would be a back end editor. If for no other reason than this one scenario: If you position a section too near the top of the page, it can be a challenge to access the top tab of that section that allows access to it. A back end editor wouldn't have this issue, and this does happen frequently, as often you want to but the top section right up against the header.

I am using Elementor for several things, sice creating simple one page sites to creating systems with custom fields ans custom post types.
The better thin in elementor is his learnig curve, its really fast to learn how to use it for creating sites and ecommerces
I really expect and option to create an HTML code from Elementor, maybe separating him from wordpress and creating something like webflow

I am using Elementor on my own websites and also on the websites of my clients. Elementor allows me to build webpages within a few minutes without the knowledge of different programming languages. I design mobile responsive pages using this plugin. So my overall experience is really nice, I am really happy with Elementor.
Elementor is a professional WordPress Page Builder Plugin that allows you to build professional, neat, and clean webpages. There are lots of elements you can use like Heading, Image, Video, Text, Code, and more. You can add rows and then you can divide the row into different sections. Then you can add the elements and then change the content according to your individual or business content.
As a free user, there should be more elements available. No doubt even as a free user, we can build the website from scratch to the advanced level using Elementor. But if we'll find more elements as a free user, that will be great. All other features of Elementor are superb and outstanding.

I have tried other website builders and found that they were too confusing. With Elementor, I was able to build my site in a few hours and it looked fantastic! It has everything I needed and more- drag and drop layouts, easy-to-use templates, and lots of customizable options & I would highly recommend Elementor if you want to create good looking and responsive WordPress website
I've been working as a web developer for many years and have always felt overwhelmed with all of the features in Elementor to build a world-class WordPress website almost of any type. It has made my life so much easier! The tools are super intuitive and easy to use, but at the same time give you so much control over your website. Plus, I love that there's no coding required.
I am a happy Elementor customer. Although, I have never had any issues with the service unlike many of my friends using other website builders. But, one thing I would like to suggest is that they should add more Prebuilt templates in their library

At first, I thought it was this goldmine to be protected and nurtured - something that would make business smoother and less frustrating. But that was just a pipe dream, in all honesty. Elementor (and Wordpress) have their perks for sure, it's just not suitable for the long-term, IMHO, especially on more content heavy sites. Clunkiness is an issue and it seems that speed is an afterthought, which is a shame.
It's powerful, full of options and the drag-and-drop makes it mostly easy to use. The templates are thorough, if that's what you're looking for. We don't use them, however; they make your site look like the rest and well.. that kind of defeats the purpose of having your "own space on the internet". With that said, the pre-designed blocks are pleasing to the eye and make it easy to create a site pretty quickly, which is perfectly suited for most.
Biggest con... Wordpress but that's neither here, nor there. I was a fan for over 12 years, but no longer - it's just cumbersome, heavy, buggy and requires way too much attention. Elementor has a good thing going, though. You just gotta be willing to put in the effort and time to learn the "tricks" they offer; it'll be a straight up time suck for the beginner. Security and customer support is lacking as well. Maybe they've gotten too big for their britches, I don't know.

Frustrating, disappointed. Horrible usability. I am in disbelief how this builder can be so popular. I guess it just reflects the popularity of WordPress - people just don't know about better options.
There are some good-looking ready-made designs and there are many external plugins to support Elementor where it is flawed - and yes, it truly needs all the support it can get.
Usability is horrible, especially after using some better, more functional website builders. It offers quite many ways to modify content, but the user interface is lightyears behind the modern ones. Even the pro version (which became much more expensive for developers this year) lacks many many basic elements and functionalities, and those have to be bought elsewhere. Every time I have to deal with this software it drives me mad, and it is not a question of not using enough time learning it, on the contrary. I have wasted way too many precious life hours trying to build things with Elementor, only ending up frustrated and noticing that what I wanted to do is not possible. I wish I could get a refund for the dev license, goodbye money.

Elementor is a very easy-to-use website builder. It's extremely affordable and meets the scope of most of my web design needs.
Apart from the divi visual and beaver builders, Elementor is one of my favorite web builders. It's simple to work with and once you are used to working with it, building a website becomes very easy.From the tool's design layouts to practical functionalities; everything works great. I mean, there's no way I will build an entire website without using the Elementor plugin except for the Divi theme.It's easy to use, time-saving and offers a lot of advanced functionalities that simplify the whole development process. I use features like lottier, parallax effects,I can't emphasize enough the importance of using this plugin
I haven't gotten a way to completely export a full page yet, apart from blocks, I tried to perform this action many times, and there seems to be no way for that.Secondly, the official WP AMP plugin, Elementskit pro, and WP rocket are always in conflict with Elementor pro, especially the WP AMP plugin. I can't explain why but I think developers should look into the situation because when this happens, to keep one plugin running, I need to deactivate the others (which are also important plugins form me)

We spent a lot of time and built dozens of websites on Elementor however we were not able to get the speed up to par. Many sites took over 10 seconds to load after we have done all the possible speed optimizations. Without speed optimizations they were taking 16 to 20 seconds to load out of the box.
Elementor is amazing in many ways however because it is one of the heaviest front-end page builders out there it simply does not do what it is supposed to. Speed is one of the most important factors of a website and it is simply impossible to get a website to load fast on Elementor unless you have a very basic site. This is why we would never recommend a mentor unless they fix the speed issue. We are at Webb development company and have spent a ton of time trying to do everything possible to speed optimize Elementor websites without any avail.
We disliked the fact that Elementor is very heavy and it's impossible to get medium to large size websites to load fast.

Overall it has been a good experience to design with Elementor allowing me to design quickly, I have found some ways around the limitations of the free version but they are time consuming and you might as well get the paid version to have a great painless experience. If you want compatibility with most elements and plug-ins in WordPress this is a well established software and would work great for you.
- This software works with almost any plug in in WordPress. - Compatible with most of the themes. - You can create a theme and export it or share it. - You can build your templates from scratch - It is 100% compatible with woo-commerce - There is plenty of documentation and 3rd party plug-ins that add functionality. - Is easy to learn. - They have a free version
- You can only use the woo-commerce editor tools with the paid version, all woo-commerce features are locked in the free version. - Several times it fails to render the page when editing with Elementor and you have to check which plug-in is conflicting. - There is not lifetime membership. - CSS editing is only available in paid version.

Elementor makes building websites easy. The level of customization possible in Elementor matches any custom coded site, and with much less time/effort. I've never had to contact Elementor Support with my questions because of the amount of support information posted by other users online.
Strong compatibility with most plugins Template Builder organization makes for efficient workflow Large variety of building elements (widgets) and formatting settings
Color selector tool needs better UI for more convenient color presets. Building elements/widgets do not have built-in conditional hide/show settings (But Elementor does support other plugins that do (ie PowerPack).

Can't say anything negative. All positive for me!!
I love it that it gives a lot of flexibility and makes building a website very easy. It takes a little bit of learning if you want to make something a bit more special but for a basic website, it takes no time at all to build. I'm not skilled in web design and no idea about codes but I managed to build a lovely website with lots of different things built in. Love it.
Can't really mention anything. I did add new things that work with Elementor, sure, it would have been nice if those are covered but it's still an amazing value for money.

Simply the best!
Fast, very versatile, and not bloated. Free or Pro this is the best page builder that you can have for WordPress. You can never go wrong with Elementor, always updated and have excellent support!
Not really a con but a complement, since Elementor is the most widely used page builder it is also the most widely attacked for exploits. So always keep it updated!

An excellent solution for the beginning to middle-of-the-pack web designer. Impressed by the full range of integrations available for Elementor both by the company itself and offered by thrid parties.
Elementor has an extremely polished User Interface. While it can take a bit of maneuvering in the early days of learning this program, once you've invested a bit of time there really is nothing that you can't build. The clear labeling and above-average online tutorials by the company really allow this to be an out-of-the-box complete solution for a beginner's web-building needs.
From a more advanced perspective, the controls and functionality is not always immediately apparent. While anything can be built with Elementor, it is not always intuitive for a more advanced user. That being said, if this is the program that you are using to learn to build websites, the learning curve is somewhat less severe due to not having to unlearn any procedures.
