Elementor is a WordPress website builder that empowers you to successfully build the website you've dreamed of, without having to write a single line of code.
Elementor allows you to build a WordPress website with incredible ease and speed. You don't need to be a programmer, spend a full work day on a simple task, or watch hours of tutorials.
Additionally, you don't need to use 3 different plugins or pay double to build a professional WordPress website.
With Elementor:
The Editor is built to facilitate any design you’d like to achieve with full control over the page layout.
You can drag any number of containers to the canvas and lay them out to achieve the desired page structure.
Into each of the Containers, you can drag any of the widgets to add content, and design it down to the last pixel.
Elementor 3.8 marks Flexbox Containers as stable. CSS Flexbox is a new standard of website building in Elementor. Using Flexbox Containers provides you with:
More control over each element: precise control of positioning, alignments, spacing, measurement units and more.
More design freedom: infinitely nest containers and adjust their layout until you achieve the design you want.
More responsiveness flexibility: precisely arrange, size and display elements per device - allowing you to design a desktop, tablet, and mobile experience like never before.
Working with CSS Flexbox creates high-quality and lean code with less markup, which improves the site's performance.
Using Flexbox Container allows you to build complex designs, without compromising on performance due to code quality.
The transition to Flexbox Containers facilitates Nested Editing, and enables you to drag any widget into the content area of a nestable widget. With Nested Elements, you can unlock a whole world of design possibilities.
Nested Element widgets include:
Elementor empowers you to build, and design the website - just as you’d like.
With Elementor’s icon controls, you can upload SVG files to maintain design precision.
For example, you can upload an SVG file to the Text Path widget, to shape your text accordingly and create unique, lightweight designs, suitable for any device size.
To empower you to control every detail of your website’s design, Elementor incorporates CSS controls for advanced design.
You can leverage the CSS Transform control in every widget to rotate, scale, skew, offset or flip elements.
You can also use CSS filters in any element that includes an image in its content to control the sharpness, brightness, contrast or blurring of the image.
In addition, you can add a combination method using blend mode and get unique results by combining widgets with background images.
Elementor includes thousands of built-in fonts from the Google Fonts library, specifically designed for websites.
In addition, you can upload custom font files in WOFF, TTF, SVG, EOT format or connect Elementor to the integrated Adobe Fonts library in just a click.
Elementor includes thousands of built-in icons from the Font Awesome library, specifically designed for websites.
In addition, you can upload custom icons from other providers such as Fontastic, IcoMoon, Fontello, and access them anywhere on your website with Elementor’s icon library.
A mask can be applied to any element to create sophisticated, unconventional designs. You can choose from any of the shapes available in the Editor, or upload an SVG file for a custom shape.
With Elementor, you can add movement to your website and create a unique experience with the help of animations and effects, written in Elementor's high-quality code standard, including:
All the effects and animations can be adjusted per device size, to improve the loading time, and optimize the mobile browsing experience.
To add a sophisticated animation to your website, Elementor allows you to integrate lottie videos. Lottie animations can also be linked to mouse movements, button clicks or other activities.
To improve the visitor experience, Elementor allows you to keep elements to the top or bottom of a page using the Sticky motion effect.
With Sticky Elements, you can design a sticker header, sidebar for blogs, and more.
You can also choose to assign a Sticky Element per device size, to get a visitor experience that is also 100% optimized for mobile.
To empower you to design every page of your WordPress website, Elementor’s Editor includes over 100, built-in widgets for any purpose.

Elementor’s Editor provides a modern editing experience that is not limited to a specific device - small mobile or large desktop screen.
Its framework is built to facilitate a 100% responsive experience and automatically adapts its design to any screen size.
On top of the built-in responsive experience, Elementor enables you to manually control the size, alignment, spacing, layout, order, and more, for every breakpoint to achieve the perfect design on any device.
To achieve a pixel-perfect design on every device, Elementor has a "mobile editing" mode that allows you to adjust thousands of controls and settings for different breakpoints.
For example: adjust font size and spacing, element alignment, image size, animations, sticky elements, and more to each device.
By default, Elementor comes with 3 breakpoints for desktop, tablet and mobile, but you can add more breakpoints for maximum responsive flexibility.
To create the best visitor experience on any device, Elementor enables you to hide elements according to the device. For example, you can create a button with a navigation link or call buttons that only appear for mobile visitors, or hide elements on mobile to shorten the page and not burden mobile visitors.
Flexbox Containers enable more customization and design options for mobile by allowing you to manually control the order and location of the elements for a responsive experience.
Elementor’s Theme Builder gives you full control of all site parts, including: Header & Footer, Single Page and Post, Archive, Search Results, 404 Error, and more.
Edit and design all theme parts with the same level of flexibility as you have for any other page in Elementor. Use the advanced design capabilities to achieve the theme design you imagined.
Leverage any of Elementor’s inherently dynamic widgets to automatically populate the widget with content from WordPress. For example, use the Site Logo widget to dynamically populate your site logo anywhere on your website.
Build more than one template for each theme part. For example - design two different headers, and display them on the relevant pages using advanced display conditions.
To enjoy the full benefit of the Elementor Editor, Elementor recommends using the Hello Elementor Theme, a popular WordPress theme with over 1 million active installs.
Hello Elementor is a very lightweight theme compared to other themes, weighing only 6kb of resources, and loads within a ¼ of a second, providing a fast browsing experience.
Note: Every WordPress website needs a theme in order to work, the theme you choose can impact your workflow with Elementor and the performance (speed) of your WordPress Website.

With Elementor’s Form Builder, you can create any type of intake field, populate data with Dynamic Content, and use captcha to filter spam submissions.
Using Elementor, you can create a page or popup to redirect the user to after they complete the form submission. For example, you can design a thank you popup, confirmation page, and more.
The Form Submission interface will collect, backup and store all your forms in the WordPress database. This will reduce your dependency on webhooks and integrations, ensure your data is always backed up, and allow you to access your submission data whenever you need it, from your WordPress dashboard.

You can also view and filter by bulk options, using form name, page or date range, enabling you to easily find any form to view, edit, or delete submissions.
Elementor also offers various marketing integrations to choose from. When you use Forms, and third-party integrations, you can use the Actions login in your Form Submissions to see if an action completed successfully.
The actions log will capture the status of the actions run after your form was submitted. If you see a green checkmark the integration is successful, if you have a yellow notice, you need to check whether reassess the integration and ensure everything is working properly.

Additionally, Form Submissions are GDPR compliant and use WordPress’s native Export and Erase user information tools, so you can access all of your data from your WordPress admin.
