Elementor has become one of the go-to page builders since it launched for WordPress back in 2015. Since then, it has undergone continuous improvement and new feature development – here’s everything you need to know about version 3.14!
Elementor offers more than just its powerful theme builder for controlling the style of every page on your site; now there’s also an easier way to achieve an integrated look across your entire website with Elementor’s design system feature! By setting global colors and fonts with this tool, your content remains uniform across the board.
Elementor’s live editor is another exciting aspect. Utilizing what’s known as WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), this editor lets you work in real-time – everything from adding buttons and changing text alignment will be shown as previews before it goes live on a page.
The live editor also makes it easier to make changes and experiment with various designs. With several revisions of a page or website available at once, easily switching between them as you work can be especially useful for designers looking to iterate quickly on designs.
Elementor allows you to easily build loops – page templates that include the content for multiple posts or pages on your website – by using loops as page templates. For example, you could easily build house listings or any other dynamic loop using Elementor and fill it with your custom post types or content from custom fields. Once built, adjust its structure according to your needs.
Elementor’s Form Builder is another fantastic feature, enabling you to easily create and configure forms and login pages. Ideal for lead generation, email capture or any other purposes that require frontend forms – you can add any widget you like directly into this tool for display on any web page!
If you’re looking to connect your website with third-party platforms, there are a variety of integrations available to you. These may include social media buttons, live chat features, Google Maps API integration, audio/video players and podcasting applications – plus much more! As these integrations continue to increase their options are ever growing which gives you even more choice if integrating your site with external platforms.
Elementor has also improved its performance by teaming up with Google to optimize performance, including adding tools that reduce DOM output, speed up image loading times, optimize front-end asset loading times, and increase responsiveness of websites. This improvement can help rank higher in search engines while improving visitor experiences.
Elementor features an active community that offers support, advice, and tutorials on how to navigate complex web scenarios using this tool. There are also plenty of addons, themes and kits that allow you to personalize your website.
