Building a website from scratch, or updating an existing one can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re not a developer. Between choosing the right theme, managing design layouts, and getting your content to look just right, it’s easy to get stuck before you’ve even properly started.
That’s where a Page-Builder tool comes in. There are a number of popular Page-Builder tools, addons and plugins to choose from, but my top pick is Elementor.
Elementor is one of the most powerful and user-friendly page builder plugins for WordPress available today. Whether you’re a small business owner, a creative professional, or just launching your first website, Elementor makes it incredibly easy to bring your website vision to life — without touching a single line of code.
Drag-and-Drop Simplicity
One of the standout features of Elementor is its intuitive drag-and-drop interface. You can build pages visually in real time: just click, drag, and drop elements (like text, images, buttons, or forms) right where you want them. No more guesswork. No more back-and-forth between the editor and preview. It’s like Canva for websites.
Pixel-Perfect Design Control
Unlike many WordPress themes that limit your design freedom, Elementor gives you full control over how each section looks and behaves. You can customise fonts, colours, margins, paddings, and more.
Want to make a hero section stand out? Add background videos, animations, or custom shapes. Want your call-to-action to really pop? Easily tweak spacing, shadows, and hover effects until it looks just right.
Mobile Responsive Made Easy
We all know how important it is for websites to look great on mobile. With Elementor, you can easily switch between desktop, tablet, and mobile views, making specific adjustments for each screen size. No more worrying about wonky layouts or unreadable text on phones—Elementor lets you handle that with ease.
Pre-Designed Templates to Jumpstart Your Build
Short on time or inspiration? Elementor has hundreds of pre-designed templates for all kinds of pages—homepages, service pages, landing pages, contact pages, and more. These are professionally designed, fully customisable, and can dramatically speed up your build process.
You can also save and reuse your own templates, making it super efficient to replicate sections across your site.
Extensive Add-Ons & Integrations
As your website grows, Elementor grows with you. The plugin integrates seamlessly with popular tools like WooCommerce, Mailchimp, HubSpot, and social media platforms. Plus, there’s a whole ecosystem of add-ons to extend its functionality even further, whether you need sliders, popups, countdown timers, or forms.
Perfect for Beginners AND Pros
If you’re new to websites, Elementor offers an easy and empowering experience. And if you’re more experienced, you’ll love the flexibility and control it provides, especially when combined with enabling custom CSS, hooks, and global settings in the Pro version.
Elementor is more than just a plugin, it’s a full design toolkit for WordPress. It empowers you to build beautiful, responsive, and highly functional websites without the usual tech stress.
If you’re starting a new website build and want a platform that offers speed, creativity, and ease-of-use, Elementor is the perfect choice. Give it a try—you might be surprised how much fun you have using it.
