It is easy for new users to get started with Elementor. Also, Elementor Pro, along with the many third party extensions available, empower advanced users to create a wide range of advanced almost application-like websites.

We sometimes hear on Facebook and other places that people are moving away from Elementor, but these stats show that Elementor is continuing to grow at a record pace.
There is some anecdotal evidence that the huge growth at Elementor has burdened their support service ….. which may be a big factor behind their motivation to re-structure of their pricing/plan model about a year ago ….. i know from my own personal experience aprox. 2 weeks ago, that i found the support person handling my initial inquiry very unknowledgeable – almost like they were barley I.T. literate – ie; outsourced to the cheapest workers available
I’m sorry to hear that. It can be hard to keep up with the fast growth. I thought that the change of packages and pricing was supposed to help them manage the support load.
