Why WordPress and Elementor are the Perfect Pair for Website Design
WordPress and Elementor work in perfect harmony to create a solid website. With both of these on your site, you’ll have everything you need to build an engaging and compelling website that can make your business or personal brand shine. You might be wondering why it’s so important to use them together instead of just one or the other. Let me tell you why!
I have been building websites for years now. And in that time, I have seen the evolution of the Elementor page builder. It is an excellent option for building your website and is how I develop my clients’ websites.
Elementor, combined with WordPress, the most popular website builder in the world, creates the flexibility that often attracts people to more restrictive platforms like Wix, Squarespace, and a few others. However, the most remarkable difference between the use of those listed and WordPress paired with Elementor is community.
Until recently, WordPress has had a reputation of being too difficult to learn and use compared to other content management systems. Though WordPress is full of freedom, there are some challenges you will encounter.
But with the introduction of Elementor, using WordPress is much less complicated.
What makes WordPress so powerful
Many people have heard of WordPress, but there’s more to it than just being a blogging platform. WordPress is a powerful CMS (content management system) that makes website design much more straightforward. It offers both a wide range of pre-designed templates and page builder plugins.
And that’s why it makes sense to use WordPress as a powerful CMS with Elementor for website design. With these great tools, you can put together a simple or advanced website with little to no coding knowledge. Which makes your life easier and lowers your costs. What more could you ask for?
What makes Elementor so useful
For one, its drag-and-drop interface lets you create a site without touching a line of code. The software also comes preloaded with dozens of templates to get you started. This makes it easy to put together a professional-looking website in no time. And if you need more customization options, there are plenty of premium templates online on places like ThemeForest that work seamlessly with Elementor.
OR, you can hire a designer/developer like us here at Studio117 who can create a fully custom layout for parts or your whole website.

The drag-and-drop interface of the page builder is intuitive enough that even novice users can learn quickly—but Elementor also has advanced features like custom CSS and HTML coding, so you’ll never be limited by what’s possible on your website.
