Elementor is a page builder plugin for wordpress with a live frontend editor. When compared to the WordPress editor which lacks UI and you will not be able to view what you add or update. But in the elementor, you can see the view and how it looks on the right pane.

An elementor way of building components differs from that of WordPress. Same like wordpress we don’t need coding/programming skills like HTML, CSS or PHP. The modification/custom made blocks needs some basic CSS skills to get started with it.

We can create different layouts based on elementor unlike the wordpress theme design, we can even modify the existing theme to a spectacular looking site. Elementor has some bunch of templates which we can pull out for building layouts or even getting ideas from.

The main advantage of elementor page builder is it doesn't require much skills for developing it at zero cost.

The basic principle of elementor is what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG).

Layouts created in the elementor are mobile responsive ready which is an added advantage.
