<\/a>Elementor: An Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Launched in 2016, Elementor is a WooCommerce<\/a> page builder plugin that advertises<\/a> itself as a go-to for anyone wanting to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘Turn…product pages into lean, mean sales machines with Elementor\u2019s built-in marketing tools.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
In short, Elementor comes with a comprehensive set of tools for creating and customizing sales pages and increasing sales conversion rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the time of writing, Elementor boasts over nine million active installs and was rated as a ‘Category Leader’ by GetApp and listed by G2 as one of its Top 100 software products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>Elementor WooCommerce Builder: Key Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
First and foremost, it\u2019s important to note that Elementor doesn’t require any coding know-how. Instead, users can choose a \u2018kit\u2019 from the Elementor Kits Library. Here you\u2019ll find over 100 website kits created by designers for all types of businesses<\/a> and industries. Aptly named, a website kit includes everything you could need to get your website up and running, including over 90 templates, headers, footers, pages, forms, popups, custom colors, fonts, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simply choose a kit that suits your brand, add your content, customize it using the editor (more on this in a sec), and you\u2019ll have your very own WooCommerce site. Simple, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That said, let\u2019s explore some of Elementor\u2019s other key features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>Elementor Editor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
![\"Elementor](\"https:\/\/fileproinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/elementor-woocommerce-builder-review-elementor-editor-1024x576.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nOnce you\u2019ve chosen your kit, you can build your WooCommerce store using Elementor\u2019s intuitive drag-and-drop live editor. You can modify your WooCommerce site\u2019s layout and style, and save newly designed pages with a single click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adding images to your web pages is easy – just drag and drop the file into any spot on your page. From there, you can also tweak your margins and paddings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also create more complicated page layouts with overlapping images and sections if you want to go all out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In other words, the Elementor Editor gives you a lot <\/em>of design freedom, without having to write a single line of code, which leads us nicely onto our next feature:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>WooCommerce Widgets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
![\"WooCommerce](\"https:\/\/fileproinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/elementor-woocommerce-builder-review-woocommerce-widgets-1024x576.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nElementor offers over 90 powerful widgets that empower you to bring your dream online store to life. (If, however, you opt for the cheapest pricing plan, you\u2019ll only have access to over 40 widgets). All widgets are fully customizable and used in tandem with Elementor\u2019s Editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, we\u2019re not going to list all 90+ widgets here, but here are a few notable examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nYou can either create your own pop-ups from scratch or add ready-made ones to boost your sales. Populate popups with relevant WooCommerce content to alert customers about discounts, promotions, encourage them to subscribe to your newsletters, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have a think about what your WooCommerce goals are, and then use the popup builder to bring you a step closer to achieving your aims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>Elementor Templates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nElemementor offers pixel-perfect templates that are fully customizable. So, rest assured, you can alter them however you wish to suit your brand. The more expensive the price plan, the more templates you have access to. For example, you can choose from 30+ templates on the lower-paid plan, whereas the other programs unlock 300+ templates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
