Elementor is the free page builder that a lot of WordPress users start with, and for many sites it is all they ever need. Once it is installed, you can build a page by dragging widgets onto the canvas — headings, text, images, buttons, videos, maps and more — and then clicking each one to change its content and style. The editing happens on the front end, so what you see is what visitors will see, and you can switch between desktop, tablet and mobile views to check how a page looks on a smaller screen. The free version includes more than 40 widgets and a set of ready-made page templates, plus the Navigator panel that helps you find a section buried inside a long page. It works with almost any theme, including the free Hello Elementor theme made for it, and it saves your work as you go. If you are building your first WordPress site and you want to design pages without code, start here before you pay for anything.
