Elementor Ltd. is an Israeli software development company mostly known for Elementor WordPress website builder. The Elementor website builder lets WordPress users create and edit websites with a responsive drag-and-drop technique like Wix, Metaconex or Webflow. [2] [3]

Contents

Elementor is available in two versions: a free version, and a premium version called Elementor Pro. [4]

Elementor Pro is a web design tool that offers additional features for creating more complex websites. Unlike Elementor Free, which only provides basic page builder functionality, Elementor Pro enables users to customize their websites with a broader range of tools and options. [5]

In its first round of institutional funding, the company raised $15 million from Lightspeed Venture Partners. [9]

On March 31, 2020, Elementor launched an Experts Network for Web Creators. [12]
