What Is Elementor?

Elementor is a drag-and-drop page builder plugin for WordPress, which means a couple of things:

• It gives you a completely original and separate interface for creating posts, pages, and custom post types. Basically, when you visit your standard post/page editing screen in WordPress, you get a new button that allows you to enable Elementor, and then let it take over the page-editing process entirely.
• It doesn’t require you to possess any HTML or PHP knowledge or skills. Everything can be done through a handy user interface.
• It works on the front end, meaning it shows you the outcomes of your work right away in a true ‘what-you-see-is-what-you-get’ manner.
• You can use it to create any content layout or page layout you can imagine — regardless of what your current WordPress theme allows you to do.
• It works with all WordPress themes.

Putting it all together, the main benefit of using Elementor is that you can create rather impressive page layouts or content structures, even if you’re not a designer nor have any experience with site building (HTML, CSS, PHP).

This, in principle, opens up a lot of possibilities — especially if you’re on a tight budget but still want your site and content to look great. This is also something users seem to enjoy a lot: As reported by the Elementor team themselves, the main plugin has been downloaded more than a million times so far!
