Hello hunters, We're very excited to be back!! I’m Yoni, co-founder of Elementor. We’ve built @elemntor so we can help designers and developers create anything on WordPress without restrictions. We started out 2 years ago with a Elementor https://www.producthunt.com/post..., our free and open source page builder that allowed users to create any design faster than ever before. We’ve grown to 800,000+ users in under 18 months, and today Elementor is one of the most popular plugins in WordPress, translated to over 24 languages, with an amazing community that built a whole ecosystem of addons, themes and other solutions around Elementor. But there was still a challenge we had to overcome to complete the vision that started our journey. There were still parts of the WordPress theme that couldn’t be accessed without code. A site’s header & footer, the blog post and main blog page, search results pages and every other dynamic part of the site. This involved engineering a whole new visual process. It took us 12 months of development, and we did it. We are proud to introduce Elementor Theme Builder. The all in one design tool that allows you to design every area of your WordPress website, using a drag & drop interface on any theme, without a single line of code. In the upcoming weeks we will add additional features: WooCommerce builder, ACF & Toolset integration, copy style and other surprises. I’d really appreciate if you can take a few seconds to let me know in the comments what are your current frustrations when building and designing on WordPress. We’ll aim to tackle those next. And of course, would love to answer any of your questions so feel free to ask me anything,

I've been using Elementor for a few months now and after my initial skepticism, I was floored by how easy and flexible it is! I'm now in the progress of redesigning all my personal sites and I've stopped building sites for clients with anything else.

Pros:

Ease of use, very flexible, lots of templates, clean code

Cons:

None

We're using Elementor with the Astra Pro theme to build a new version of www.tillerhq.com launching in June. We tested dozens of approaches mostly looking for speed and minimum bloat. Elementor Pro + Astra Pro gave us 100% on Google Speed insights and fantastic Pingdom score. And we have easy total control of building our site (in house).

Pros:

Easy to use, thoughtfully considered, fast, no page bloat, best page builder by far

Cons:

none

Definitely one of the most user-friendly, feature-packed and regularly updated WP Page Builders out there. I've used both the free and pro versions and will surely be renewing my pro version when it renews in June 2018. I've been closely following all the new features that were added in 2017 and 2018, and now with the flexibility to freely edit headers and footers, is amazing...love Elementor and look forward to more exciting features and improvements in 2018!

@yonilux you know what I love about Elementor? just about everything!

Elementor is the fastest, most flexible and most reliable page builder for WordPress. It's very well supported by a great community of contributors and includes just about any element you can think of putting on a webpage. It also connects with a whole bunch of 3rd party extensions which makes it even more powerful. It also really shines as a solution for building client projects.

Pros:

Super fast and flexible solution for building pages in WordPress - and building entire themes with their new themer. Use it and love it.

Cons:

None

This page builder is probably the best, only Beaver Builder is close, but Elementor is being developed faster and right now it's neck and neck but soon Elementor will be strides ahead in every way. I can't wait until they start releasing the WooCommerce features they are currently working on .

Pros:

One of the best page builders

Cons:

Doesn't work excellently with WooCommerce yet however they are currently working on WooCommerce features right now.

Wow! Elementor 2.0 is crazy. The best wp page builder and all the new improvements are amazing!

Elementor literally transformed my business as an Online Marketer. I now build all my landing pages on my own Wordpress websites, without having to rely on outside tools that cost a fortune. So I save like hundreds of $$ just by not paying a "landing page service". The product has so much design options out of the box, and the team is adding more of them almost every month. They really spoil us :) Moreover, Elementor now has a cure for pretty much every pain associated with building and maintaining a Wordpress site. I can easily design templates for 404 pages, single posts, headers, footers... you name it. It used to take me weeks to build a proper responsive website. Now? I do it in a few days! I also teach businesses how to use your product so I know how many lives you guys impact. Keep doing exactly what you're doing.

Been using this product to build my latest website and using the dynamic fields with ACF has been a game changer. Only thing I wish to see is to have more of the Elementor widgets able to interact with ACF (such as tabs, icon list, etc). Are dynamic settings going to be applied to all of the Elementor widgets in the near future?

Is it possible to use Elementor to edit an existing website ?

It’s a great builder, the best by far on WP and it’s actually better than wix and square space beciase you end up with a pr site.

Its vwry easy easy to use, loads of video content and a huge community for support!

My my only personal downside is that the widgets are limited when it comes to custom post types! You can add CPT but you can’t add things like multiple post filters bars, or post search bars or really any kind of multiple field searchable galley. It’s my understanding that this is on the list of thing to add however is this is something you want then dont use elementor because the functionality simply isnt there yet!

ive had to abandon my last project on elementor because of the lack of integration with CPT.

Other than that that it’s the best, we’ll woeth upgrading to pro.

Pros:

Great, easy to use, intuitive design! Perfect page builder that is actually better and more flexible than wix or square space.

Cons:

A huge negative is not being able to effectively use custom post types properly yet! all The CPT info is there, just no decent widgets

Looks so sleek <3 What are the costs?

The first time I used Elementor was to create my "Recommended Tools" page. It's very intuitive. I love their "duplicate section" feature, it saves time and effort.

From GTMetrix, I noticed a "Reduce the number of DOM elements" warning. However, this is considered as a low priority as far as performance tweak.

Good job!

Pros:

Easy to use and much better than others I've tried.

Cons:

None

Definitely one of the most innovative page builder.

There is no Masonry Grid by default .

Section height can not be changed by dragging.

Some advanced design features are very difficult to find for an inexperienced user. But this is a problem for all the page builders in the market and it seems that Elementor is dealing with the problem in an excellent way.

Pros:

Speed, Functionality, Flexibility, and Innovation = Elementor

Cons:

Very little

A page Builder that's going to meke your life so easy...

Pros:

The Best page Builder Out There!!

Cons:

nope!!

Best WP builder.

What an amazing platform and team! Really impressed by the speed of innovation & excited for the future!

Using it for more than a year. The fact that this simple little plugin managed to get to 800K Installs in just 2 years is amazing!

They keep getting better and better by each version. every error that this plugin may have - they sent an update in a day or two to fix it.

Amazing product. No other words.

Make the whole building a website TON easier

Pros:

Always Updating base on what the audience wants. Always improving...And it's god damn easy to use, even a child can do it!

Cons:

if it took me more than 2 minutes to think of any Cons they have - and yet still, have not found any - it speaks for itself.
