Let’s start at the beginning – Elementor is a visual, drag-and-drop WordPress page builder plugin.
Basically, Elementor lets you create custom designs without needing to know anything about code – it’s all visual and point-and-click.
When you launch the Elementor interface, you’ll see a live preview of your design on the right and a sidebar on the left.
To create your design, you can:
- Use “sections” and “columns” to control your design’s layout.
- Drag widgets from the left sidebar onto your live preview to add new content.
- Rearrange widgets on the live preview using drag-and-drop.
- Click and type to edit text in your design.
- Use the sidebar to control the style and content of individual sections, columns, or widgets.
- Right-click to delete, duplicate, or otherwise manipulate elements.
As for the content itself, the free version of Elementor gives you plenty of content widgets for things such as:
- Buttons
- Images
- Videos
- Icons
- Google Maps embeds
Elementor also comes with hundreds of professionally-designed templates that you can import. This feature alone enables you to build beautiful pages on WordPress.
By itself, the free version of Elementor is quite powerful, so it might well be all you need.
