A paradigm shift for WordPress
-
Elementor seals the transformation of WordPress from a platform for blogging writers to one for site designers. The Free version is great for starters and Pro gives more theme templates and features.
It’s very accessible for non-techies meaning you can have a decent looking site for a low learning curve but must save techies so much time too.
*most importantly* – Elementor does not leave so much dag behind when you stop using it – like others certainly do. There is also a free version, so you are not enslaved to a paid subscription to make your site just work, after you have started designing with it, then choose to use something else.
It integrates well with other WP building tools too. e.g. you can use shortcodes to inject an elementor-designed element into a page or post, even if built with other tools like Gutenberg or Brizy for instance.
Templates – Really powerful (a Pro feature) is the ability to build themes and styles for specific content types and when certain ‘conditions’ are met. i.e. anything in this category or this post type, display in this template or that template. This is great for Content Management, Listings and Directories sites – those using Custom Post Types. Or sites with multiple authors – if this author, show this template if that author that template.
It’s clearly a loved plugin by the developers, well thought-through with constant updates and now it’s also very well-bedded into being a mature and stable plugin. The growth in its usage speaks for itself. The massive user base also means there is someone in the community who knows how to fix any typical problems you may encounter.
