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 like 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 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]

## History[edit]

Elementor was founded in 2016 by Yoni Luksenberg and Ariel Klikstein.[1]

In May 2019, the Elementor team's "Hello" theme was listed at WordPress.org.[10] The Hello theme is a barebones theme framework specifically designed to pair with the Elementor page builder.[11]

On March 31, 2020, Elementor launched an Experts Network for Web Creators.[12]

### Awards[edit]

Elementor was recognised by Israeli business daily Calcalist as one of the top 50 most promising Israeli startups for 2019.[13]

### Partnerships & acquisitions[edit]

In 2019, Elementor acquired Layers WP—a WordPress theme brand.[14] Elementor also partnered that year with A2 Hosting to provide a hosting account for its users.[15]

## Reception[edit]

On WordPress.org, the Elementor plugin has a rating of 4.7 stars.[16] ThemeIsle.com gave it a 9.3 rating, saying that it has many templates, different content modules, and was easy to use.[17]
