Overall Satisfaction with Elementor

As a full-service Digital Marketing Agency, we use Elementor for as many clients as we can for a few reasons. Currently that would be about 80% of our website clients. We use Elementor primarily because once we "turn over the keys" to the client, it's fantastically easy to manage.
  • Full website builder with unique widgets
  • Easy starter templates that work well for small clients
  • Support is fantastic! Very important.
  • If you'd asked me a year ago where Elementor could improve, this list would be easy, now, not so much. The product develops at a phenomenal rate with new features consistently being rolled out. Support has improved DRAMATICALLY and is really world class at this point.
  • The ROI is immediate as a project based business.
  • Quicker workflow equals more projects with the same number of people on staff.
  • One main tool allows us to train more easily, which again improves our cost of doing business.
We've used everything from Divi to Brizy to Gutenberg and beyond. For us, Elementor ticks all the boxes. Though Divi has its fanbase, it doesn't allow a client to switch easily down the road whereas Elementor does. Divi and Elementor were our final two choices as we went through the decision process.
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.
