Cons Thanks for asking, but I have never experienced even a slight bug when using Elementor to create and design websites. Review Source R Reviewer Technical Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "The Best Builder for WordPress" September 22, 2026 5.0 Think this is the best WordPress page builder and supports loads of different functionality on top of the vanilla elementor Pros Strong website builder, loads of customisable blocks on top of the prefabricated ones that are already there. You can build really clean and functional landing pages in a short space of time. Really easy website management and there are plenty of plugins that you can utilise on top of the base. Cons No real cons for me. I can imagine that if you want to be more custom then there can be conflicts but generally you can inject custom code in where you need Review Source R Reviewer Founder and CEO Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Elementor was a life saver for me" April 21, 2026 5.0 Initially, when I started building WordPress websites back in 2019, I was extremely struggling to design appealing and modern pages, until I learned about Elementor page builder. Pros Extremely useful page builder for WordPress website to design modern and fancy pages. It requires minimal to no technical knowledge to build a page, and an interesting part is, they've got many free templates. You wouldn't be spending extra bucks to build a page. Cons As far as my experience with Elementor is concerned, I did not find anything that I like least about the app. So far so good. Review Source R Reviewer Director if Finance Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Steep learning curve then really great product" March 27, 2026 4.0 While it can be buggy, overall it makes for great website design and provides the ability to allow your website to stand-out. Pros The templates varieties are varied and well priced. Building components of the pages using plug and play to create better looks that the average WP site. Cons It can be a tricky at first to learn, and sometimes it does weird things when you try to add more components/paragraphs. Header footer can be tricky. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Web Designer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great for individuals and web design agencies" March 10, 2026 4.0 I'd recommend Elementor to anyone who wants to build a website without coding it themselves. It's also a great solution for web design agencies. Pros Website build with Elementor load quickly. The builder experience is great too. Easy to get used to compared to other visual builders on the market. Cons At the moment there isn't a once off license you can purchase for the software, compared to similar offerings from competitors. Review Source Stacey W. Consultant Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great Wordpress design tool for non-designers" February 4, 2026 4.0 Overall, it's easy to understand and build quality sites so I've been able to consistently build nice sites. Pros I have limited web design skills but I build and maintain my own Wordpress websites and create landing pages using Elementor. I love the themes. Cons The only complaint I have is that sometimes it seems that using Elementor makes my site slower, even changing the theme doesn't help. Review Source R Reviewer Administrator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "What I Experience with Elementor" January 29, 2026 5.0 Creating stunning websites is the core benefit that I realize with Elementor on my end which help boost the SEO rankings. Pros I have used Elementor for nearly five years now. I like the fact that Elementor is a code-free wordpress page builder that offers a wide array of free CSS templates. Cons Exporting themes and templates from elsewhere sometimes clash which forces me to use the ones built-in. Review Source D3 M. Owner Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Elementor is a really great tool if you want to create websites in a faster and professional way." January 5, 2026 5.0 I would recommend this tool to people who wants to start a business of website, and they are awilling to learn to use it properly. Pros They improve a lot about how to build websites easily and faster with great designs and great navigation. Cons Not so many tools to use, it feels that they can implement more. Also customer service is not the best, it is quite hard to reach them when a problem happens. Also their AI is not the best and I dont think worth to pay more for it. Review Source R Reviewer Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Satisfied Elementor User" January 5, 2026 5.0 Overall elementor has been essential in how I edit and design my website. It has allowed for easy website flow and navigation Pros I like all the different options for website design and elements that can be put into the website including pictures and graphics Cons The cost is high and many stock photos are no different than what you can find on Canva or Google with a free search Review Source Abbie F. Owner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Built my first website with Elementor" November 27, 2025 5.0 Pros Ease of use - lots of drag and drop. Easy to build and optimize your website/pages for SEO. I would recommend it for a simple website build. Cons Sometimes updates make the widgets a bit unreliable. Make sure you always keep it updated and read the latest emails from them to avoid issues. Review Source Elle D. Owner / Founder Used the software for: 3-5 years 5.0 November 4, 2026 AI summary based on a full review Elementor enables powerful design capabilities on WordPress, which is particularly advantageous for inexperienced users after receiving training.

After getting locked out of my account due to a broken 2FA system, I reached out to support — and was essentially ignored. I opened six separate tickets, and in most cases either received no response or got generic replies that led nowhere. When I did finally hear from someone, they promised to escalate the issue but then disappeared without resolving anything. Pros The only thing worth appreciating about Elementor Pro is the abundance of third-party tutorials and community resources online — especially on YouTube. Without those, you'd be completely lost. If you had to rely solely on Elementor’s own support team to solve even basic issues, you'd be absolutely screwed. The user community is doing the heavy lifting that the company clearly doesn’t care to handle Cons I’ve been completely locked out of my account for days, and Elementor's support has been utterly useless. After updating my email, 2FA stopped working entirely — no authentication codes are being sent. I've tried logging in over 50 times. Still nothing. I opened 6 support tickets. The only two times someone replied, they asked for basic info and then said they needed to escalate the issue to another department. The first time, I actually got a response from that department, asking for a new email to replace the broken one. I sent it — and never heard from them again. The second time, I wasn’t even lucky enough to get that far. I’ve followed up multiple times, and I know they’re reading the messages (I'm using Mailtrack), but they’ve completely ignored me. It's a black hole. Elementor Pro is not a professional-grade tool. It may look sleek on the surface, but if something goes wrong — especially something critical like account access — you’re completely on your own. The support team is unresponsive, disorganized, and not trustworthy. Review Source R Reviewer Strategy and Innovation Director Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Bespoke Websites with Very Little Code Knowledge" July 7, 2025 4.0 I've been running website and digital marketing teams for about 15 years and I've experimented with almost every 'easy website builder' offer ranging from Dreamweaver and Geocities to WordPress and Square Space. Elementor allows me to create the full bespoke websites I want without needing to code. I've built three websites with Elementor and, for now, it's my tool of choice. Pros It's very easy for non-coders to turn design ideas into responsive websites. Unlike other page-builders' Elementor doesn't restrict your design vision; as long as you have the patience, you can build almost anything you want. Cons Because Elementor has fewer restrictions than say SquareSpace, and it has way more features including dynamic elements, it can get confusing. There are also lots of ways to skin a cat, so you'll have to make architecture decisions as you build. Review Source R Reviewer owner, designer, webdeveloper Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great builder with a lot of options but you have to get used to it" May 28, 2025 3.0 Overall, a lot of fantastic options, but not the most intuitive tool I have used, so even though it is very popular and compatible with everything I need, I sometimes feel like it is overcomplicated. Pros There are a lot of fantastic options available, and it is compatible with most of the key plugins I have been using. Cons It is not intuitive and not smooth to work with. I don't think it is quick to learn and use, and sometimes I do find it overcomplicated, but it might be a subjective opinion, as it is not my first choice for the website builder. Review Source R Reviewer Website Developer and Marketing Specialist Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Elementor is WordPresses BFF " August 4, 2025 5.0 Overall Elementor has been my go to as a website developer working with WordPress, but I do often run into limitations, where I have to crowdsource to find solutions. Pros Elementor allows for robust, dynamic content abilities within WordPress, and gives really powerful templating for posts and different types of elements. Cons It’s not easy to create CSS classes for consistent website styling. I think the software could be a lot more user friendly. Review Source Christopher M. Freelance Web Designer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Quality Legacy Builder that I hope still improves" May 21, 2025 4.0 I learned WordPress website building on Elementor. I have a lot to be thankful for. They have an excellent free version that most people use. But when people need more, they go to the expensive Pro plans or look at 3rd party tools and what they can do for cheaper. Pros It has been a trusted platform for building complex sites on WordPress for a long time now. I use it less because of the recent price increases, but some clients still want to use it. Cons The price increases have made it a bit more expensive for a freelancer to build websites with it. There are some other options out there that are more economical. I wouldn't mind paying extra for extras, but paying a lot for the core product seems too much. They have also been slow to introduce some features that would make it truly a next-gen builder for WordPress. I appreciated the Flex containers, but I have missed more advanced features since then. I am hopeful for the V4 launch but will have to see how that pans out. Review Source R Reviewer Website Designer Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Elementor Experience " November 11, 2024 4.0 I love how easy it is to build client website with almost no code at all. Pros It’s ease to use and ability to teach my students with so less stress. Also work on my clients project is a breeze. Cons I don’t like that I must need some extra plugins while making an advanced e-commerce website. Review Source R Reviewer Freelance Branding Specialist Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "It's a the most flexible website builder to use in WordPress" November 29, 2023 5.0 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. Review Source Verified Reviewer CMO Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "The Only Tool you will ever need - Almost a perfect solution" April 30, 2021 5.0 It's almost a perfect site building tool and I say almost because of some of the problems which they have not been able to manage very elegantly. Be it the price change or security patches, the team has not handled it the way they should have. That being said, I love the software, such a solid tool that is way ahead of the competition. Can't recommend this enough. Pros There are so many good things about this tool, very beginner-friendly, easy to use, amazing dev team bending the product, the best part is the updates that keep coming. They have been continuously improving the software over time. Has a ton of integrations with third-party tools and makes the overall process of creating websites a breeze. This has been the only tool I have been using for the past few years now and it has not let me down. They are usually the first and the market leaders to implement new innovative features. I love the fact that they have recently started page load times seriously. Have been seeing speed optimizations for the plugin lately which is a step in the right direction. Cons They keep on revising their pricing plan which seems like a deceptive move to their loyal customers. The plugin has had security vulnerabilities in the past which is not as bad as the way they handled those. They did not offer a free security patch for their old customers and people were forced to renew their license due to the vulnerability. Lastly, their customer support for the product has seen a drastic downward trend which I have seen so many users complaining about almost on daily basis.

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. Review Source Kari L. Marketing Project Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great Website Tool" February 13, 2025 5.0 Pros Elementor allows anyone to easily update websites, no matter their skill level or experience with web development.

It is easy and intuitive to learn. The tools are powerful and integrations are good. I am using mailchimp integration more Cons Initial integration with woocommerce seemed to limit my options for themes. This maybe because I am creating my first shop but I think could be improved. I.e I seem to not be able to use a standard header and am restricted to archive templates Review Source VR Verified Reviewer BOARD MEMBER Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Elementor: The Best Wordpress Builder" November 12, 2024 5.0 Overall my experience with Elementor has been great, I've used it for the past 3 years Pros website building is drag and drop. easy for a beginner Cons The price for pro is a bit steep also no option to subscribe for more than a year Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
