Likelihood to Recommend I would recommend this for the ease of use and price. It is a good value for any website developer or designer to be able to create multiple websites a year with super simple coding. If you've got a way to speed up your website without using WP Rocket, then it's even better! I think this software is specifically made for someone with a coding background and would recommend that you have a background with Wordpress to make using this software even easier
Read full review NVU is an easy self explanatory program that helps us edit the Landing Pages for the company for which I work. However, many of the features of being able to edit text & text boxes is out of date & very jumpy. I often have to rewrite sentences in order to fit better on a line because I can't adjust the text box without it messing up the entire Landing Page.
Read full review Pros Easy to implement different sections of a page such as images, text blocks, forms etc. There is a range of example pages available for you to change to suit your brand or to provide some inspiration It is easy to add custom CSS (or similar) Read full review It allows me to easily create the Landing Pages for my company. I can easily create a copy of an NVU file & then rename it in order to create a new file. Then once I've made the necessary changes to the new file, I just drag & drop the new file into our backend to automatically upload to our site. It allows me to edit text fairly easily. I can drag & drop the text within a text box. Read full review Cons More Enterprise Features would be nice More integration with 3rd party form plugins like Gravity Forms Sometimes it gets confusing working with template features like headers. Editing in one place may accidentally affect the entire site and it is not always clear. Read full review I can't widen a text box without it jumping & messing up the entire Landing Page. I can't drag text from one text box into another. The text settings change if I don't copy a word that already exists in a word box & paste it into the new line of text before starting to type a new sentence. Sometimes I try to open a Landing Page to edit it & it says that NVU is unavailable & I have to close the program & try again. Read full review Usability Elementor is one of those website builders that is really easy to get started with. The drag and drop features make it easy to create attractive and creative webpages for even the non-website designer. Some of the features available are not easy to find or easy to discover when you first start using Elementor. Practice makes perfect.
Read full review Support Rating There support is slow and at times can be frustrating and this is why many prefer to air out their frustrations within the Facebook group community. I tend to give up as when I'm working on something and something goes wrong I need the help straight away. I do not have the patience to wait anymore.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Thrive Leads and thrive architect is a pain to update, they've changed version and name in recent years. I am unable to update because every time there was an upgrade or new release of the plugin it caused issues with my website's functionality which has left me stuck updating old versions that don't work anymore. With Elementor i haven't had this issue.
Read full review Return on Investment Elementor has made it possible for our non-profit to stand out in the non-profit space in which we operate. Our website was highly flexible and looked great, which provided confidence to our donors. Elementor has never been a weak spot in the security of our website. We've had several attempted attacks against our website and yet everything was remained locked down. We have only used the free version of Elementor, so it has kept our costs low and allowed us to have a professional looking website, but being able to put more money towards our charitable cause rather than IT. Read full review I think my boss has actually decided to stop using NVU to create & edit our webpages because of it's lack of updates & features for editing text. It takes me a lot of time trying to adjust text boxes to get them to fit on the Landing Page correctly with the entire desired content. Read full review ScreenShots
