Elementor Visual Builder : a good choice for everyone

5.0 last year

Comments: I use elementor [paid and free] for some clients who like to customize on their own, so i needed a very user friendly interface for them. Never disappointed.

Pros:

I like the most that is quick to setup and to use. I never had any overloading problem with elementor, like i had with more heavy visual builders.

Cons:

Some critical features for professional are under paid license, and this license is an annual fee. Elementor doesn't have a lifetime solution, and that's a pity.

It's a the most flexible website builder to use in WordPress

5.0 10 months ago

Comments: It's a very great tool for building good WordPress websites. I would recommend it because it's popular and professional.

Pros:

Elementor is such a fantastic website builder. I like it because it enables me to accomplish a lot of cool things with ease and simplicity. First, It's one of the most beginner-friendly WordPress plugins that I've known up to now - it's easy to set up and it's extremely popular in the market. Secondly, It's compatible with a lot of third-party plugins and applications that are currently driving impacts in the market today which simplify all the hard process of work. It's feature-rich and provides advanced customization features with a lot of design options like templates, predesigned pages, sections, and some other forms of lead-generation pages that are amazing to use when starting off with a project. Besides this, It works seamlessly with some of my favorite javascript frameworks like GSAP to add professional animations to pages and sections. Additionally, I like Elementor because it's not limited to just the framework environment, it also allows the user to add their own HTML, CSS, and Javascript codes. To my knowledge, there is no other definition of flexibility than this.

Cons:

Elementor can be a little frightening in the beginning and can seem to be challenging too but ultimately becomes easy with time. I noticed that the editor becomes slow sometimes when too many add-ons are used and other times, it becomes completely inaccessible as the features can't be clicked when I use it with Elements Kit Pro whereas the lite version of Elementskit doesn't show this conflict in attitude with Elementor.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

1.0 last month New

Comments: Purchased an image optimizer plan which was basically implied that it was needed, to operate with the standard Elementor plugin which we already pay for. We use this to design our Wordpress website which the Elementor Plugin is very buggy in that regard. The FREE image optimizer offers up to 5,000 images to be optimized which we have. The plugin stated we had exceeded our quota, so we elected to upgrade for a 5,000+ photo plan for $50. Plugin wouldn't work and still stated we were over quota. Something seemed skechy, but okay. We went ahead and purchased the next package which is the 20,000 photo plan for another $50. Again, wouldn't work. Contacted technical support after going round and round with their Auto BOT for about 10 minutes. Guess it just wanted to refuse me in speaking with someone? Think that was intentional but moving forward...finally spoke to someone and they said they would take a look and to download their "Temporary Login" plugin. Did that, granted them access, and they said they couldn't get into our site and to reset it and then grant access again. Did that and they still couldn't get in. At this time we've got about an hour invested in this crap show and said just cancel our subscription plan and provide a refund. All of our images are already optimized using the WebP extension. "Oh, we're sorry but our products are non-refundable!" Okay, I'll call my bank to dispute the charges for a product that failed to work for me and I'll go ahead and also leave you 1-star reviews everywhere I can, to advise others of your shady business practice. That threat didn't seem to change their tune so here I am. REVIEW LEFT AND FUNDS ARE NOW BACK IN MY ACCOUNT AFTER CALLING MY FINANCIAL INSTITUTION AND TELLING THEM OF THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICES! SHAME ON YOU! You can do better!

Pros:

Kind of hard to list this when the customer service experience was so HORRID!

Cons:

It's extremely buggy. It does not play nicely with other plugins.

Perfect for Beginner and Advanced Website Deisgners!

5.0 4 months ago

Pros:

As a beginner of website design, using Elementor was the perfect choice for me. Its intuitive drag-and-drop interface and many customization options made it easy for me to create a professional and engaging website without needing to spend hours learning code. The pre-designed templates saved me time, and its responsive design ensures my site looks great on any device. Elementor's blogging tools help me to create and share my blogposts, while making sure any visitors to my site have a great user experience. The cost-effectiveness and amazing customer support further make Elementor an invaluable asset for my business.

Cons:

Honestly, it's challenging to find cons for Elementor since using it was straightforward and quickly resulted in a professional-looking website. However, one issue I found was the inconsistency in resizing images; ensuring that three images in a row were the same size sometimes required finding new images, which was frustrating. Additionally, while Elementor is easy to learn, mastering it takes time. The first version of your website may need a lot of tweaking as you become more familiar with the software, as some customization features can feel a bit unintuitive at first.
