Overall Satisfaction with Elementor

We use Elementor to design and build websites for over 200 clients. It is the best wordpress builder we found while testing many others during the past 6 years. It is easy to use for new wordpress developers. It significantly speeds up the design process, for many smaller projects designing in software like Figma is even non necessary, you can start directly in Elementor.

Pros

  • Website building using a drag and drop editor
  • Editing the predefined styles using the custom css panel
  • Designing simple websites directly in the builder

Cons

  • More streamlined organization of settings in the editor
  • Better code completion in the custom css panel
  • Speedier editor loading and switching between pages
  • It has allowed us to offer profitable web services to smaller clients
  • It has allowed us to create cheaper websites
  • Elementor is a very fun way to get people into web design who are newbies
It has a lot of great mechanisms for spinning up websites quickly, yet sometimes the organization of settings is a bit unintuitive. For someone spending hours working inside Elementor it quickly becomes a habit, but it could be a bit better organized for new people coming in to use it for the first time.
In the wordpress environment Elementor is by far the best builder, there are new things coming to market like Breakdance, but their time is still to be decided in the future. Also overall in the entire web builder category, Elementor is unbeatable, having the power of WordPress under the hood creates infinite possibilities. I would only consider Webflow an alternative in some situations.

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?

Yes

Would you buy Elementor again?

Yes

Websites that mainly host content, need to be edited often and do not require very custom functionality. For clients who want a very stable system and have a bigger budget, custom theme development is still a better choice, but the gap is closing and Elementor seems to be going in the right direction.

Evaluating Elementor and Competitors

  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
It had a 1000 users licence for a very competitive price at the time, unfortunately it's much more expensive nowadays. But we are glad we have it and we pay it each year for the past 5 or 6 years. I wouldn't make a different choice. Recommended without a second thought.
I don't think anything would change. We experimented with a couple plugins, we made the choice and we don't look back.
It makes it easy, clients are happy, work goes on. Why change?
