Would you like to build a website at speed? Like building a Lego house in minutes fast?

Now, a dedicated team of professionals have decided to make it come true for you. It is called Elementor, the #1 WordPress website builder that you can use for free.

It has gathered over 700,000 loyal users in less than two years. This is due to the highly specific features designed with web professionals in mind. Yet, whether you’re a seasoned designer or taking your first steps toward design, you can use the crazy-fast way to build your website. It has a 5-step work flow that makes it a dream to use.

Introducing Elementor

Elementor was created to solve one major problem: feeling “stuck” in a theme’s design.

The team behind this WordPress page builder wanted to offer web professionals freedom to create websites the way they wanted, but without having to write code or design things from scratch.

Elementor is the first theme builder where you can design everything directly on the frontend with instant results, but you also get total control over layout customization.

However, that didn’t fulfill the whole dream picture the team had when creating Elementor. So now they’re releasing Elementor 2.0 all throughout the year, one feature at a time.

Blocks: The crazy-fast way to build websites

Blocks are pre-designed section templates that you can combine any way you please to create a website or landing page. It is a spectacular first feature.

Here’s how it works:

You just pick the blocks you need, like the hero, testimonials, or the service presentations section. Then you can custom them to suit your site!

You have 235 blocks to choose from and they are all organized in 15 main categories:

Header, Services, Contracts, Price, Team, Testimonials
Portfolio/Gallery, Clients/Friends, About, Call to Action
Progress Bar, Countdown, Subscribe, Forms, Footer, Feature

To make it even easier for you to create the perfect website, you have the option of light or dark type blocks. It allows you to adapt a dark block to a dark themed website with a simple background color change and a few minor clicks of the mouse.

Optimized Workflow

Using Blocks can really change the way you build websites by optimizing your workflow down to five simple steps.

Create basic wireframe
Build page using Blocks
Customize each Block
Save your new custom Blocks as a section templates
Reuse saved sections on other projects

New Template Types and Conditions

Compatibility with themes is crucially important when building your site. With Elementor 2.0 you get a wide array of new templates that are compatible with almost any theme.

Header and Footer is the number one template that Elementor users have specifically asked for, and their wish is granted. Until now, the Header Footer template was static and came from the theme. Now you can customize it any way you wish.

You also get access to 404 customizations like the Archive feature, and the 404 features. This can be crucial when designing your website.

Each template has its own corresponding area in your WordPress website where it can be applied. If you want to create a header template that is displayed ONLY as the header of your single post, you can set the conditions using a simple interface to determine exactly where the template is implemented.

What made Elementor the #1 WordPress Theme Builder
