Elementor is my go-to software whenever I need a new website or landing page because they have a ton of awesome premade templates to choose from and they're easily editable from the drag and drop interface which makes the process of launching a new website or landing page for a marketing campaign way easier.
  • Drag and drop builder
  • Rich templates library
  • Easy to deploy and edit pages
  • the more templates they can add the better, if they can add more quality templates it's going to be even better for us
I would recommend Elementor to every beginner looking for a code-free solution to launch a website or build a landing page in any industry because it's simply the best website builder in WordPress, the free plan is enough to get started so there's literally no reason to try it, I started with the free plan then I bought a pro license to get even more awesome templates.

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.

Elementor is the key tool used to manage the content on our non-profit's website that is powered by WordPress. For a small non-profit, this is the perfect tool to get a beautiful and professional looking website designed with little to no experience with web design or programming. Elementor is very flexible with it's great list of widgets, which makes it extremely easy to customize the website the way you want it.
  • Lots of available widgets which are easy to use
  • Drag and drop for easy design
  • Lots of online support and tutorials to help learn how to use Elementor.
  • WordPress is quickly adopting some of the core features of Elementor.
  • It's been a while since new widgets have been released.
  • Doesn't always work with every WordPress theme available.
Elementor makes website design extremely easy, so the it is certainly suited for those who are not developers. It is a WordPress plugin, so you will need to be running a WordPress site. You don't have to know PHP or CSS, and that makes it easy to get up and running with a great looking website for cheap.

Elementor doesn't support some of the more complicated web features that you see on websites these days, but those are usually professionally designed and coded. Elementor is not going to be a great fit for those who have the skills and expertise to edit WordPress' code directly.

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 (the paid Pro version) is being used to create many of our site's pages. It is used by the web devs, graphic designer, and also by our content marketing team.
It allows us to easily create functional and aesthetically pleasing pages with a wide range of design elements available.
  • 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)
  • You only get good support if you're using the pro version - I have used Elementor across two different sites and found support to be rude when only the free version is in use.
  • Some of their guides on their website seemed out dated as the steps differed slightly when following a guide
Despite not being 100% happy with their support, I still highly recommend Elementor as a product because it has so many options for site building. There are also enough guides online by other users to help you through most, if not all, problems you may run into.
It is very useful if you like the drag and drop style of website building but also want the freedom to use custom CSS etc

Elementor is our Web Departments only builder. Even though Elementor has not been around as long as many of the other web builders out there, they have done a fantastic job. Especially over the last couple of years. They are continually upgrading features and just making it better. Additionally, there are now so many 3rd party products that are made to work with Elementor. There is little that you can not do. We have found it to be light and fast. The interface is the best out there, in our opinion. The other nice thing about Elementor is there are a lot of good themes that are made to use Elementor as the builder.
  • The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. Each of the blocks is laid out in a very standard way. This makes learning Elementor pretty quick. There are a lot of advanced features that take longer to become familiar with, but for solid basic design, it is easy to learn.
  • Elementor is quite capable of building nicely designed fast sites. It also has excellent Mobile capabilities allowing a designer to make sure the look on Tablet and Phone are as well designed as the desktop version.
  • Elementor works well with virtually every Theme out there. However, to go a step further, there are quite a few Themes that are built specifically to work with Elementor.
  • This is not something that Elementor does, but I need to mention that there are several Block sets out there that are made for Elementor and expand the design capabilities.
  • Occasionally while building in Elementor, parts of the builder will either freeze or become glitchy. This is not very common, but it does occur from time to time.
  • One area that Elementor could use some work is in their support department. I have emailed support in the past and have not even received a reply. We use Astra Pro for our theme, and their support has gone in and fixed or explained issues that were directly related to Elementor. Fortunately, we have not needed support much since the product is so well built.
I think Elementor would be appropriate for anyone that uses WordPress as their preferred CMS. The free version is very capable, especially if paired with a feature-rich theme. This would allow the use of Elementor on a hobby site or beginning blog. Elementor Pro is at a price point that allows even freelancers to be able to use it, and it is certainly robust enough for a larger agency. It is capable of very complex design.

I use Elementor to develop many basic websites. With easy deployment and professional results I'm very happy with this plugin.
  • Lots of documentation and examples to learning about the plugin.
  • Many designs and animations to customize the website.
  • Sometimes have trouble with the compatibility of the WP Themes.
  • I would like the preview page to be more easy to see, like a page preview.
In case of personal blogs I recommend the free version, it is sufficient, but if you have a professional website or sell web pages I recommend you buy a pro version.

Elementor is being used in conjunction with WordPress to build websites for our clients, whether they are required to be dynamic, blogs, eCommerce or a combination, Elementor is our go-to page-builder for the job. It is used within the Web Design Department of our company, however, our graphic designers have been starting to utilize it too for a faster process from mockup to showcase for the client.
  • Creating beautiful websites quickly and easily.
  • Easy to use and no prior knowledge of coding is required.
  • Search within their icon library could be improved to allow for relative terms to pull the required icon - not just the exact icon name.
  • Identifying which element has margin applied to it can be difficult (when an element is within a column, within a section, etc.) when items are not aligned.
Elementor is well suited if you are a designer looking to build a website for yourself and would like to use a self-hosted option like Wordpress, or if you would like to start branching out into web design. It is great to use as a builder and is extensive enough to allow for beautiful designs while still being easy enough to use that you can pass it on to a client to take over and manage content.

Elementor is used as the page builder (WordPress plugin) to create and manage most of the pages on our company website. The IT department (consisting of me) uses it for our home page, product information pages, about page, contact page, as well as to manage site-wide header and footer templates.
  • It's making it easy to create a visually pleasing website.
  • It's making it east to create or upload templates to be used and re-used.
  • Making sure that your website is mobile and tablet friendly is hard if your site is highly custom.
  • The free tier is really stacked with functionality, but I needed more for implementing tables.
Elementor is an awesome page builder for creating standard looking sites to highly customized masterpieces. When you are creating a highly custom site, it does, however, become increasingly hard to cater to mobile and tablet users while keeping the site aesthetically pleasing and one hundred percent functional. I would say it's perfect for a striking but simple (less is more) site.

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.
