Elementor is the WordPress plugin we use for front-end design of landing pages, websites and ecommerce developed in WordPress. We like using this because it has many features that make our lives easier such as mobile layouts with responsive codes so they look great no matter what device you're viewing them on or column layouts which allows us more creative freedom when designing a webpage layout . It also offers drag n drop interfaces making things go faster than ever before! As well, this program supports woocommerce along side form plugins; allowing us even greater flexibility while taking advantage from being able to customize nearly anything imaginable within our website designs. This plugin is used by the UX/UI department.
  • Free option (freemium plugin)
  • Can be installed on client sites
  • Large community in social media
  • Easy to use interface with live previews
  • No coding knowledge required
  • Completely customizable
  • slow to load
  • consumes too much memory on server
  • annoying messages in WordPress dashboard
Elementor is a fantastic tool for those who need their site up and running quickly, but also have faster hosting than what's offered on shared servers. With Elementor, you can design your website and landing pages without ever worrying about code. Re-use content across multiple pages to save time and connect with professional designers and developers through the easy sharing of projects.Elementor is less appropriate if you are on a shared server and need faster load times. While the UI may seem sleek, it can cause performance issues as Elementors code will be executed multiple times per page request which could affect how quickly your site loads for visitors.

I purchased Elementor at the beginning of this year to design a new website for my business. I have experience with computers, coding, and Wordpress so I thought this would be a good fit. I was excited to see that it's more block code and that many designers use Elementor to create websites for their clients.
  • Block code is very easy to work with.
  • They don't have support, per se, but they have a whole big group of users on Facebook who are great at helping each other out.
  • They have some templates you can use to just get going if you're in a particular industry that would probably work well with a template!
  • The price is really not bad for how much you get.
  • Elementor is a bit slow compared to other block coding that's out there now for Wordpress websites.
  • It also does not work well with WP Rocket and WP Rocket will break your site.
  • There's a lot of searching through their website when you do miss something and can't figure out how to get it to work.
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.

I utilized Elementor for about three years as our go-to landing page builder for Wordpress. It has a great UI and is very easy to master, however, it also comes with a number of performance issues, which is why we made a decision to switch from it. Overall, it is a good software, but could be better if the development team could ever address performance issues
  • Easy creations of Landing Pages
  • Great Popup Form Builder
  • It's much slower than many of the new players like Webflow, Oxygen or many others
  • Introduction of one-time pricing could make it worth it
It could be a good tool for a company which doesn't have a big development team, or just for any marketing department where less tech-savy people can easily create beautiful landing pages. It has some really good additions, like Popup Builder which helps to increase conversions on the websites.

I resorted to Elementor when faced with a tricky Wordpress requirement. Ever since I stumble upon something not easy, I try it in Elementor.
  • Page design
  • Visual effects
  • Data presentation
  • There is not a clear line between Free and Pro. Usually what I want is on Pro, but I always try to do it on the free version first.
  • Page save is not obvious and sometimes is a bit slow
  • Would like to see a better integration between themes and layouts.
I think that a web designer/developer can always find a use for Elementor. As a shortcut for the final product, and one that the final client can play a bit with without crashing the full site. Having a licence for several sites, the price is low so it is a good investment to consider.

Elementor is a Wordpress page builder that allows me to create attractive, interactive and creative web pages on our WordPress website. As the website designer, I was looking for a cost-effective plugin that helped me to create various types of landing pages and even blog posts. I had been using the free version for 6 months and wanted more flexibility and power in customizing the pages to suit my visual branding so I invested in the pro plan.
  • You can create professional and creative web pages and it works with all the WordPress themes I've used.
  • Free plan with some useful features to get started with.
  • Easy to set up and get started with and if you get stuck provides useful video tutorials.
  • Has a great Facebook community that provides tips, advice, and support.
  • What Elementor could really improve on is being more flexible with the plan that only allows you to use on one website. I was moving my website and when I tried to upload my paid plugin to the new website as the old one was deleted it didn't allow me and stated I had to purchase a new pro plan. I was so frustrated as I still had 5 months left on the old plan. So, more flexibility and understanding of plans is needed.
  • Needs to improve the number of glitches and Elementor not being available as that can be very frustrating when you plan to be making edits on your web pages.
  • Better integration with other plugins. The discovered some of the issues I had faced with Elementor was because it wasn't compatible or conflicted with themes and other plugins.
If a colleague or family or friend was looking for an easy to use website page builder I would definitely recommend that they try out Elementor. I wouldn't straight off the bat recommend buying the pro plan and instead get them to test it out and see if they can create the types of pages they have in mind to see if achievable as there might be a better alternative for them.
