Overall Satisfaction with Elementor

I purchased Elementor at the beginning of this year to design a new website for my business. I have experience with computers, coding, and Wordpress so I thought this would be a good fit. I was excited to see that it's more block code and that many designers use Elementor to create websites for their clients.
  • Block code is very easy to work with.
  • They don't have support, per se, but they have a whole big group of users on Facebook who are great at helping each other out.
  • They have some templates you can use to just get going if you're in a particular industry that would probably work well with a template!
  • The price is really not bad for how much you get.
  • Elementor is a bit slow compared to other block coding that's out there now for Wordpress websites.
  • It also does not work well with WP Rocket and WP Rocket will break your site.
  • There's a lot of searching through their website when you do miss something and can't figure out how to get it to work.
  • I thought this would increase efficiency with building my website, which it did, until I installed WP Rocket and it broke. I had already paid for using WP Rocket and my CDN and didn't want to switch to another service.
  • I was able to make a website probably with the least amount of time ever and was very happy with that.
  • I was disappointed that I couldn't use the website I had built because the code is a bit bulky and slow and isn't compatible with WP Rocket.
I ended up asking Elementor for a refund so I could use another theme. They were quick to refund me and ask what they could do better in the future. I ended up choosing OShine, which worked great for me, but now I wish I would've gone with Oxygen as it seems to be a little tiny bit faster than OShine. I just don't have the time to build another website at the moment and I'm happy with the speed of my site.

Do you think Elementor delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Elementor's feature set?

Yes

Did Elementor live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Elementor go as expected?

No

Would you buy Elementor again?

No

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.
