Until now, you were only able to build static content using page builders. Landing pages, homepage, about… You created each page one at a time.
Blog post templates, archive templates and other dynamic content was either preset by the theme you installed, or required tons of coding.
Now, Elementor introduces a whole new way to build dynamic content – using theme elements like featured image, post title, author box and so on. Build the framework, and the content gets filled automatically from your website, for new as well as old posts and pages.
Design it once dynamically and visually, and apply it everywhere on your site.
Building blogs, stores, portfolio pages, ACF and Toolset content… creating anything on WordPress, just got a whole lot easier and code-free, the fast Elementor way
