First impressions of Elementor

    To learn to use Elementor, I tried to recreate the Elementor home page. I think I understand some of it. A section is used to house columns, is that correct? It’s easy to stack one widget on top of another like you did with the top area of the elementor home page: Image, followed by heading, then text, then a button. But what I had trouble doing was suppose I wanted to have two buttons side by side instead of one in the center. I could not figure out how to make two columns because when you add another column, it puts everything above into that first column and then makes a new column to the right at the same height.

    An improvement I can suggest (unless I’m doing something wrong) In trying to recreate the elementor home page, positioning the video. The only way I could figure out how to do that was to make the top margin of that video something like -250 and I can’t believe that would be a good practice? But anyways, when I move the video up, the section/column dotted line on hover stays in the original section so it becomes confusing as to what I have hovered over. My suggestion is to make the dotted outline/boundary move along with padding or margin changes.

    So until there are either some instructions/tutorials, or perhaps sample pages with all the elements layed out so we can see what goes where, then for me anyways, it’s difficult to achieve layouts. I’m not complaining, and I know this is free. But if you’re looking for wide adoption, you don’t want people to get frustrated and then abandon it for something that might not be free, but has good tutorials and documentation.

  • Hi,
    First of all, thanks for your feedback.
    We are doing our best to improve Elementor and it’s documentation, and during the next weeks we plan to update the plugin every week and to upload videos and guides explaining in details how to work with it.

    As for your question – If you are creating a new section, divided into 2 rows, is it still problematic to insert 2 buttons, side by side?
    Notice that you can align every element vertically and horizontally inside it’s column.

    Hi, good to hear about the updates. I figured out what I was doing wrong regarding making separate rows of columns, I wasn’t using the Columns element. I was trying to achieve it by using the insert columns feature. In fact, I completely missed the columns element for a while even though it’s the first one at the top! So, my mistake on that one.
