Our Story

Why We Built It

First and foremost – Elementor was born because we, as web professionals, needed such a tool.

Every new project we took on brought new frustrations. Completing a website design in a WordPress environment was a never-ending process. Every minor change had to be done manually, with lots of coding and guesswork.

The lack of flexibility in WordPress design excluded many potential users from choosing WordPress as their website building platform.

As active contributors to and believers in Open Source, we decided to offer a more accessible alternative, providing the right solution for every step of the web designer’s workflow.

We sought to improve every step of the website building process, and that’s exactly what we did.

Making WordPress design a visual process proved beneficial not only to web designers. It was also appreciated by:

– Content writers and bloggers creating richer content faster.

– Developers extending Elementor’s visual functionality, instead of laboring over theme files.

– Marketers building high-converting websites and managing their various marketing efforts from one place.

Web design affects every professional involved in web creation, and Elementor has become a vital part of that process.

Our mission is to empower web professionals to create powerful and beautiful websites using the most comprehensive all-in-one design solution.
