While the Elementor Editor is not CU*Answer’s Web Services’ first choice when it comes to editing your website, we do have a handful of clients that are using it.  And using it successfully.

Elementor Editor is a user-friendly drag-and-drop page builder plugin for WordPress that enables users to create beautiful websites without knowing too much code.  Elementor Editor is the world’s most popular WordPress page builder plugin.  Basically, Elementor Editor is a plugin that overlays on top of the traditional WordPress page editing functionality to give your different controls.  It can be very powerful and allow your editors to create complex and highly customized layouts and pages.

The downside to this, is you are also locked into using Elementor Editor.  You will not be able to change to a different page editor later if you find Elementor too much for your needs.  Truthfully, this is a challenge with all the WordPress page builder plugins.  In general, CU*Answers Web Services finds these page builders overkill for the needs of our clients.  And the lock-in to that page builder complicates any future redesigns.
