I have been using it for over 6 years now and will never change my web designing plugin. The websites are beautiful. ----- ### "Steep learning curve then really great product" — 4.0/5 > **Patrick** | *25 March 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **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. > > While it can be buggy, overall it makes for great website design and provides the ability to allow your website to stand-out. ----- ### "Bespoke Websites with Very Little Code Knowledge" — 4.0/5 > **Lawrence** | *05 July 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Elementor Pro: the only “pro” is how professionally they ghost you" — 1.0/5 > **Riccardo** | *31 May 2025* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **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. > > My experience with Elementor Pro has been deeply frustrating and disappointing. 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. ----- Page: 1 / 37\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/169468/elementor?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/169468/elementor) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
