Elementor Ltd. is an Israeli software development company primarily known for its WordPress website builder, Elementor. The Elementor website builder allows WordPress users to create and edit websites with a responsive drag-and-drop technique similar to Wix, Metaconex, or Webflow.[2] [3]
Elementor is available in two versions: a free version and a premium version called Elementor Pro.[4]
