The combination allows for robust design capabilities while maintaining ease of use, making it accessible for both novices and seasoned professionals. This article will delve into the reasons that contribute to their widespread adoption in the web development community.
One of the primary reasons that Web Dezyn Plus as well as thousands of other web designers opt for Elementor Pro is its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, which streamlines the website-building process. This user-centric design enables individuals without coding experience to create professional layouts effortlessly. For instance, a small business owner can design a stunning website for their storefront without needing to hire a developer, using Elementor’s extensive library of over 90 dynamic widgets and 300 templates to achieve a unique look.
Additionally, WordPress itself is known for its straightforward setup and management, appealing to both novice and experienced designers alike. The Gutenberg block editor enhances this experience by providing a flexible content creation interface that allows users to design layouts with ease. Elementor’s Global Settings also contribute to workflow efficiency by enabling consistent design across multiple pages, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic throughout the website.
Elementor Pro offers more than 60 advanced widgets tailored for various website needs, such as portfolios, testimonials, and payment buttons. This extensive range of customization options allows designers to create highly personalized websites that cater to specific client requirements. For example, a designer can easily implement custom CSS controls and dynamic content features in a restaurant website, enhancing both its functionality and aesthetics.
Moreover, the vast library of themes and plugins available in WordPress provides limitless customization possibilities. Designers can upload custom fonts and icons via Elementor Pro, facilitating unique branding opportunities. Integrations with third-party services, such as CRM software and email marketing platforms, further expand functionality, allowing websites to connect seamlessly with essential business tools.
WooCommerce is seamlessly integrated into WordPress, offering a comprehensive solution for businesses looking to establish an online store. With Elementor Pro’s WooCommerce Builder, Web Dezyn Plus can customize every aspect of an online shop, from product pages to checkout processes. This capability enables your businesses to be set up with complex e-commerce features with minimal coding knowledge, making online sales accessible to a broader audience.
For instance, a small boutique can effortlessly create an engaging online presence that showcases its products, using Elementor’s intuitive tools to design a visually appealing storefront. Additionally, WooCommerce supports various payment gateways, including Square, Stripe and PayPal, simplifying transactions for online businesses. Inventory management tools within WooCommerce also help users track stock and monitor sales performance efficiently.
The strength of the WordPress community is a significant advantage for web designers. With a large network of developers and users, individuals can easily access extensive tutorials and resources for troubleshooting. Whether someone is facing a technical issue or simply looking to enhance their skills, a wealth of knowledge is readily available.
Elementor also boasts a growing community that provides robust support, complemented by thorough documentation to help users navigate the platform effectively. Regular updates from both WordPress and Elementor ensure ongoing enhancements and security, contributing to a reliable development experience. The availability of user groups, local meetups, and comprehensive online forums further fosters collaboration and knowledge-sharing among users.
WordPress is inherently optimized for search engine optimization (SEO), allowing users to set permalinks, meta tags, and utilize plugins like Yoast SEO to enhance their website’s visibility. This optimization is crucial for businesses looking to improve their online presence and attract more visitors. Furthermore, Elementor can enhance page speed when combined with appropriate caching plugins, potentially outperforming traditional website development methods.
Additionally, many WordPress themes are built with mobile responsiveness in mind, which is essential for meeting modern web standards and improving search rankings. The platform supports multilingual capabilities, making it suitable for global audiences and boosting search visibility. Clean code generated by WordPress also contributes to better search engine indexing, ultimately leading to a more positive user experience.
Web Dezyn Plus choose WordPress and Elementor Pro for our user-friendly interfaces, extensive customization options, seamless e-commerce integration, strong community support, and robust SEO and performance benefits. These factors collectively create a powerful platform for building modern, efficient websites.
We would not even consider using any other tools for our projects. Every design starts with a basic template layout and we customize everything to our clients’ specific needs and desires to a website that says – “This is ME!!” As a website designer we are encouraged to explore these tools for our upcoming projects, as selecting the right platform can significantly impact both our and our clients’ success in the digital landscape.
Since Web Dezyn Plus opened our doors in the fall of 2020 with our very first client, Tanya Ellis Photography, who trusted us to recreate her website using the tools of WordPress, Elementor Pro and for e-commerce, WOOCommerce, we have not looked back. (FYI — we have built over 75 websites since then!) Have we used other website builders?- short answer – YES! Did we stay with builders like Astra, Beaver Builder, ProPhoto or Divi? Short answer – NO! And why? Not only are WordPress and Elementor Pro WYSIWYG — “what you see is what you get” — they work together seamlessly to create beautiful customized, interactive websites that give our clients’ visitors a wonderful UI/UX experience. After all, what’s the point in putting all that work, time and effort into a website that doesn’t enhance your business and more importantly bring you more clients and more sales.
If you are looking for a new website to bring your business up to the latest standards for website, please give us a call for your complimentary website audit before the end of October 2024. We’ll take a look at what’s currently going on with your website, provide some recommendations on whether or not the site can be re-vamped or whether it’s more cost-efficient to just start over with a site that is interactive, mobile-ready and one that will give your visitors that “WOW” factor.
Just “Get in Touch” using the form below or call the office directly during regular business hours, Monday through Friday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Can’t wait to hear from you so let’s get started!
