| Considered Both Products | Elementor  David Victorine Lead Developer Chose Elementor Elementor does have some bloat, but nearly as much as Divi has. In comparison, it's extremely light weight and much faster to use with the front end builder. It's so much faster to edit and move elements around with Elementor compaired to Divi. I still have to do some work on …  Michał Kuczek Programmer Chose Elementor In the wordpress environment Elementor is by far the best builder, there are new things coming to market like Breakdance, but their time is still to be decided in the future.

I feel like Elementor and WooCommerce are a lot easier to use than Shopify, and it doesn't come with such high fees. For our business, it was no choice! …  James Crook Business Coach at The Health Leader Co Chose Elementor We've used Divi and Enfold as well, both of those have a similar goal for visual editors and usability and work well - but Elementor feels more polished and has great support.

Elementor provides more functionality and with a greater ease of use than its competitors.

Squarespace is giving us best results and more freedom to make changes or add new stuff to the site  Kevin Carney Principle Chose Elementor I use Optimize Press on a business website. It has a conceptually similar WYSIWYG page builder. They provide a sales funnel capability with their theme, which is why I use them.  carlos ibarra Director Operaciones Chose Elementor 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 …  Oleksandr Torlo Product R&D Manager Chose Elementor We wanted to use WordPress and not depend on the Tilda with annual fees, so we installed wordpress and bought a template on Envato market, and the selected template already had a built-in Elementor, which I just tweaked to fit my needs. Also we don't want to learn a completely …  Nuno Reis CIO (Chief Information Officer) Chose Elementor I tried a couple of website builders for Wordpress and Visual Composer was the only other that I considered using. Elementor is a better product like the price difference proves. I will choose Elementor whenever possible because it makes sense from a business perspective.  Jason Rutel Creative Director & Owner Chose Elementor Before using Elementor we used Divi by Elegant Themes, and the biggest improvements are in load speed and reduced bloat. Elementor editor loads faster and makes web design a more enjoyable process. I would highly recommend Elementor over Divi. It’s also helpful that Elementor …  Gary Williams President & CEO Chose Elementor We've used everything from Divi to Brizy to Gutenberg and beyond. For us, Elementor ticks all the boxes.

I’m not in a …  Andy Ryan Launch Engineer Chose Squarespace I would choose Squarespace over all the competition unless I wanted a website builder/host that had an online course portal.

It is easy to integrate with third-party services such as …  Lisa Cooley Art Advisor Chose Squarespace Both of my fields are visual, so design is as important as functionality. Unbounce looks great, but it's not set up for the same full functionality. I've also been quite familiar with Squarespace and felt comfortable with them.  Shawn Dehner Owner Chose Squarespace Not even comparable. I was hacked within 2 years with WordPress in a brute force attack. Since going to Squarespace, I have had zero security issues. I feel the two platforms, though similar, are incomparable.  Nicole Nagy Product Designer Chose Squarespace I didn't evaluate any other platforms because I knew Squarespace was the best.  Darcy Knapp, MBA Owner/President Chose Squarespace Squarespace offers better SEO options and ease of use than Wix/Weebly site builders. Squarespace is easy to manage and easy to track inventory and sales. For companies with lower skill sets in-house, it is also very easy to train staff to manage the platform. |
