Reviews
(1-10 of 10)The best drag and drop builder in WP!
- 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
Elementor Pro - The Complete Page Builder For WordPress
- 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
Best WordPress page design tool available.
- 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.
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.
The modern way of creating pages
- 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.
Easy to use webpage builder
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
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
- 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.
Essential 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.
Elementor is great for new and advanced users!
- 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 -- the free tier offers so much!
- 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.
A website builder worth trying out
- 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.
