What is Elementor?
Elementor is a drag and drop page builder plugin that can be used on WordPress websites. It allows you to build custom page layouts and designs that may not be available in your current WordPress theme.
Elementor replaces the basic WordPress editor with a visual front-end editor that allows you to create visually stunning web pages live without having to switch between the editor and preview mode.
Web pages can easily be created by arranging blocks of content with the drag and drop tool. For additional customization, users can drag widget elements to create custom content, buttons, forms, and much more. Elementor users do not need to know code, HTML, or CSS.
