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]
Elementor Pro offers additional features for creating more complex websites compared to the free version, which only provides basic page builder functionality. Elementor Pro enables users to customize their websites with a broader range of tools and options.[5]
As of January 2021, Elementor was available in over 57 languages and ranked among the top 5 highest-rated WordPress page builders, with over 5 million active installations worldwide.[6] It is an open-source platform licensed under GPLv3 licensed[7] and powers 2.24% of the top 1 million websites globally.[8]
In its first round of institutional funding, the company raised $15 million from Lightspeed Venture Partners.[9]
