Easy, easy, easy. Learning steep is absolutely fast and easy to understand. You can make anything you want. You can add thousands of add ons and plugins making elementor the most complete suite in the market to build a webpage, site, landing...whatever
Trying to find anything at this point but nothing is crossing my mind right now.
Any problem related with the creation of a site.
Easy to use, nice functionality, free version available, and many additional plugins (like Crocoblock) that make Elementor much more powerful. I can build almost any type of website and the client has an easy time managing the website.
There is nice WooCommerce compatibility, but it's not as good as it can be. By using Elementor Pro addon plugins, you can manage to build almost any kind of e-commerce website, but not manageable only by using Elementor Pro. Also, the Elementor Pro license has to be renewed every year. There is no one-time payment option to purchase the plugin.
I can build a functional website from almost any website design given to me by a client in Figma, Photoshop, XD... This not only saves time for me as a WordPress website developer but leaves the client with an easily manageable website.
The best of Elementor is that it's effortless to use; I'm a graphic designer, so I don't really know a lot about code, just the basics to understand how a website works, but with Elementor, I don't need to know anything. Once it's installed on your Wordpress, you can start building pages just by dragging and dropping widgets. One important thing to mention, especially for designers, is that you have many tools to edit the look of your page. The problem I had with WordPress without using Elementor was that it was complicated to build a page with a different style from the theme; it was very limited. With Elementor, you can imagine almost anything and make it happen.
I don't think there's anything to dislike about Elementor, I've been using it for three years, and it's been amazing. One thing that is important to clear out is that to have the best experience with Elementor, you definitely have to use Elementor Pro. Without using Pro, you will miss many important features, so I wouldn't recommend it.
Elementor helps designers build websites without the need of a developer; you can skip the process of making the design and having to pass it to another person who has to build it. With Elementor, you create your own pages easily and fast. I would still recommend having support from a developer for different issues with the website but not with the building and designing. The creators of Elementor have thought of everything: design, use of templates, dynamic content, compatibility with WooCommerce, and much more.
It is the best website builder for Wordpress. It is easy and intuitive. Love it!
I wish there was a lifetime offer to be able to use unlimited websites. The monthly and annual payment is quite expensive.
I use other paid plugins like Ultimate addons for elementor and crocoblock which add a lot of options to Elementor
Elementor does what I hoped WordPress would let users do: fully customize my website styling. WordPress struggles where you may not always have a template that meets your needs, Elementor lets you have that accessibility to edit a compatible template to your liking, or create a whole design by yourself. Elementor uses a drag-and-drop system so there is NO pressure to have to understand HTML or CSS (but knowing so only gives you more power to customize). Elementor also provides component templates such as tables, images with captions, testimonial carousels, etc. These components have allowed me to create a very rich website with crucial content necessary for a SaaS website.
While I cannot think of something I dislike with Elementor, customizability is a double-edged sword. While WordPress gives you access to tweak your website to your liking, it may be overwhelming for users who do not have experience with building/coding websites. Fortunately, the internet has a plethora of tutorials on how to use Elementor, making the learning curve less overwhelming and more digestible.
The company I last worked for switched from Wix to WordPress where Elementor gave us agency in how to set up our own brand identity and set up clean task flows from our website's landing page. Elementor has provided a more accessible and intuitive way to edit our multiple web pages via drag-and-drop components.
Usability - this builder is so easy to use. Responsiveness- such a powerful package; allows full mobile, tablet, and desktop responsive Quality- there is nothing better; I have thought about webflow but I need control.
It would be cool if the different menus were able to move around. You have to design everything from the sidebar and I wish I could control it more so I could create a nice workflow for myself.
I am solving quality and saving time. I am building websites that can change their entire look with one click from the backend because of custom functionality only offered by elementor.
Elementor allows me to build and deploy new webpages in a much faster way. There are many extensions available so it fits any website. With Elementor Pro it almost entirely replaces the Wordpress theme. It provides an excellent amount of flexibility.
The site load times are a bit higher than without using the plugin.
The possibilities are endless and is a real problem solver.
The visual feedback one gets, you can see the page "grow" as you drag and drop, and tweak each element on a "live" page. Also, its elementary intuitiveness.
The inability to edit things when in preview mode, tweak columns etc, the inability to switch the widgets not in use off, similar to some of it's third party vendors. This will allow for less "bloat". NO conditional logic on the new form widget, a feature i thought would be priority one when it comes to forms, but alas not, this is apparently in development (I think)
Building websites without code for "entry level" clients, i.e. clients not really needing code specific
Elementor has a lot of easy to edit templates that work well for small clients who hire us to make a website for their business and they can easily edit it if they want to after we deliver the final project because the drag and drop feature makes the editing process super simple, elementor is also great because it doesn't require any coding and their library is very rich with a lot of beautiful templates for different industries.
Elementor is consistently being updated and the support is great, they listen to their customers and there's nothing that i dislike about it!
As a full-service digital marketing agency, we use Elementor for a majority of our clients who need a simple and beautiful website to represent their business, we made a lot of websites for clients using it and we love using it every single time we need to make a website that doesn't require custom coding because elementor allows us to get it ready in a record time using the premade templates.
Elementor baffled me when I tried it for the first time. I had been exposed to more restricted builders such as the very adept for it's time Flatsome UX builder that was within the flatsome woocommerce theme for wordpress. I tried Elementor once and never made a site with a ready made template ever again. I love the versatility and more or less endless possibilities it invites through it's clever drag and drop modular structure. So for me it was a revolution in the way I created website and it changed my workflow for the better. Speed, better structure and a natural workflow stands out. As does templates, elementor canvas and the woocommerce page editor. Now others have come on the scene to challenge Elementor, Oxygen builder is one example that is a worthy challenger. It's a bit more advanced and geared more towards the designer who also knows his way around a bit of css at the very least.
I dislike that they seem to push updates out that are not properly tested that have caused havoc a few times among the elementor community. I would love to see some work done on the speed of the actual builder and customizer but I guess that is more up to the server and the wordpress framework.
I am building websites faster which means more time for other type or work or leisure time. I enjoy working with this more using this tool, a part of the job that is very creative but could be a bore in the past is now fun and engaging in a different more direct way. More joy and time. And good looking usable websites to boot. Total winner.
