I have recommended Elementor already. I also like that Elementor provides a stripped-down WordPress theme (Hello) which is all you need to create an Elementor website. Elementor is well suited for business websites where you don't need sales to funnel functionality built into the theme. This is one thing Elementor currently lacks.

I suggest Elementor to anyone looking to build a website especially if they are already locked into using WordPress. Elementor is the absolute best companion for easy page building for all levels of WordPress users. Unless the person I'm referring this to has a large development team that is very well versed in WordPress I strongly advise them to use Elementor.

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 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.

It is great for an organization that is small, needs a simple website, or doesn't have the time/money to set up a website. I don't think I would recommend it for a large organization that needs a lot of details on its website.

[I feel] with any website being developed Elementor should not be used. I will not recommend Elementor to anyone. I almost never write reviews on products. When I do it's generally because I think the product should get a higher review. However, my experience with this product over the last two years has been so bad that I had to share this somewhere for potential customers to see it.

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.

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.

If you need to quickly create a simple website or landing page, and at the same time you do not want to crawl into the code and study a ton of documentation, the Elementor will help you. It is intuitive and has everything you need in its basic functionality.
If you want something sophisticated and beautiful, based on a unique design, it is best not to use an Elementor.

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 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.

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 perfect for the person who has some eye for design and site usability. Other resources like Squarespace or Wix *could* help get a site up more quickly, but, in my opinion, would lack the control you gain with Elementor. If you're not "tech-savvy," I would avoid Elementor, but if you can find your way around new systems and have a very basic knowledge of html/css, Elementor is a powerhouse tool.

If you need to have agile web design and easy editing, then Elementor is the way to go. You run into trouble when you need super custom solutions, or when you combine it with certain plug-ins that don’t play well. This is on a case-by-case basis, and can often be solved by high-level programmers.

We think that Elementor is suited for just about anyone that wants an effective Wordpress website. From starter templates that are customizable to one off designed sites, Elementor can get it done. Keep in mind that it's just a tool, and only as good as those wielding it. We have found that clients that need or want to move from WIX or similar sites are at a price point where Elementor allows us to meet their budget. For very large sites, with special needs, Elementor may only be one of the tools we use. One example is a real estate site that required some very specialized plugins and pages. Even though the framework was done in Elementor, a lot of other tools were used.

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.

Elementor is great for teams with little or no website design and implementation experience, as it allows them to take responsibility for creating and updating sites simply, with a limited budget. It's not so great for businesses with more sophisticated needs who are more invested in responding to customer online needs and aim to tailor-make their pages to unique specifications.

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 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.
