Return on Investment

Elementor has made it possible for our non-profit to stand out in the non-profit space in which we operate. Our website was highly flexible and looked great, which provided confidence to our donors.
Elementor has never been a weak spot in the security of our website. We've had several attempted attacks against our website and yet everything was remained locked down.
We have only used the free version of Elementor, so it has kept our costs low and allowed us to have a professional looking website, but being able to put more money towards our charitable cause rather than IT.

Alternatives Considered

WordPress

Elementor stuck out as the clear leader for their online support and ease of use. WordPress has started to adopt some of the core features of WordPress, which means that they must have been good and seen as a clear necessity, but the Elementor still has the clear lead on functionality and widget support. We've also looked at thing like Beaver Builder but there was far more support and functionality with Elementor at our price point.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.
