Elementor Pro is one of the main players in the Page Builder market. If you came to our Beaver Builder presentation back in September, here is a chance to make a comparison. If you didn’t, then it’s an opportunity to see how Elementor is being used in the real world and ask Angela Wassell some questions about it.

Angela Wassell is a freelance graphic designer who has been using Elementor professionally for a while and will talk us through her experiences with it.

Register now on the WP Glasgow MeetUp page. Nothing formal but at least it gives us an idea of how many sandwiches to order!

We look forward to seeing you here.

So far, Page Builders have stayed ahead of the game in responding to the changes that WordPress has made to its main editing tool. The introduction of Gutenberg has moved WordPress in the right direction but the jury is still out in deciding whether the Page Builders will need to treat the Block Editor (Gutenberg) as direct competition.

Any software that generates its own code risks being ‘top heavy’ which might have an impact on your SEO but that may be outweighed by the simple convenience of being able to tailor your own Page and Post layouts. In the end that is a comparison only you can make for your particular circumstances. At some point you have to make your own decisions… advice like this can only help you so much and then it is down to you, your research and your decision-making. Good luck!
