It’s hard to keep track of all the developments that Elementor underwent in 2019, but we decided to give it a try anyway. This year’s expansion was felt in every aspect of our company: new product features, content, employees, even a couple of awards that we won.

This goes hand in hand with the growth of our user base, community members, and social channels. Take our Facebook community, for example — its growth rate has exceeded our expectations, with dozens of meetups and thousands of new members. Or our Instagram account, which has grown five times larger this past year, and now has over 33 thousand followers. 

Yes, this makes us very proud, but it also reminds us of the ever-growing responsibility we have for our users. We will continue to empower you to make your goals a reality. We wish you a prosperous 2020!

Product Features

  • We opened 2019 with the release of one of our most essential features — The Popup Builder. Finally you could get rid of another plugin and use Elementor’s new tool which lets you create any popup you can imagine and for a myriad of purposes, whether it’s email registration, login, promotion & sales, lead capture, or exit intent.
  • On Elementor Pro v2.5, we unleashed yet another powerful feature that brought us to new heights — Motion Effects, an advanced toolset for creating amazing scrolling & mouse animations, including sophisticated parallax effects.
  • In May, we introduced our Hello theme to the WordPress repository. Hello is a lightweight, minimalistic blank theme, aimed initially at developers who wanted a clean theme they could customize with code. Nowadays, combined with the power of the Theme Builder, users can customize their entire site using Hello WITHOUT having to deal with conflicts or code. Hello has over 100,000 installations to date.
  • In August we announced the first release of our Monthly Template Kit — a set of templates that make up a complete website, including a Header, a Footer, a 404 page, a Blog Archive & Single blog, a Popup and many more inspiring templates.
  • We ended the year, releasing yet another essential feature, Table of Contents — a tool that dynamically generates a list of links that connects your reader to the different sections on your page. Using it improves your article’s readability, accessibility, and SEO.
  • Other major features we launched over the past year: Advanced Query Control, Icon Library, Pro Gallery, Color Picker, and Dark Mode.
