Designing Pages with Elementor

Elementor is a visual page builder. It lets you build pages by dragging and dropping content blocks (called widgets) directly onto the page—no coding required.

Common widgets include:

  • Headings
  • Text blocks
  • Images
  • Buttons
  • Video
  • Icons
  • Columns and spacers
  • Testimonials and image galleries

To get started:

  • Click the “+” icon to add a section
  • Choose your layout (one column, two columns, etc.)
  • Drag widgets from the left sidebar into the layout
  • Click the green “Update” button at the bottom to save
