Exceptional Page Builder
A great page builder., much more usable than Gutenberg . Sometimes is a little slow but nothing you cannot fix with caching,.

Elementor is complicated.
I have ordered 2 times and cancellation is only accepted within 2 weeks. If you have become aware of the Fahler himself and in time, at least 2-3 further steps are necessary to get the money back!Thank you Elementor so not

Relentless Resubscribe Nagging
Elementor does a great job selling you on the product only to have such rigorous attention to detail when it comes to your subscription status. A month before your subscription is up you will get nagged relentlessly to repurchase your license or the plague will take us all, and when you dismiss the notice it comes back over and over and over and over again. This company is whipped to the bone, time to find a new more innovative option.(If your company is at the point of min-maxing like this with marketing and advertising, just innovate elsewhere instead please)
