Elementor Ltd. is an Israeli software development company mostly known for Elementor WordPress website builder. The Elementor website builder lets WordPress users create and edit websites with a responsive drag-and-drop technique.[2][3]

Elementor is available in two versions: a free version, and a premium version called Elementor Pro.[4]

Elementor Pro is a web design tool that offers additional features for creating more complex websites. Unlike Elementor Free, 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 ranks among the 5 highest-rated WordPress page builders with over 5 million active installations worldwide.[6] It is an open-source, GPLv3 licensed platform[7] and powers 2.24% of the top 1M websites in the world.[8]

In its first round of institutional funding, the company raised $15 million from Lightspeed Venture Partners.[9]
