31. Findings
• If you are completely new to WordPress you will be overwhelmed by
the amount of options to design your site – not the best way to get
started with WordPress
• Newbies will create very ugly pages at first
• A webdesigner can get pretty far without touching code
• Case of good enough vs. custom made (CI/Branding)
• Cant comment on performance of Elementor pages or how hard it is
to manage a bunch of Elementor pages long term
• If a design trend emerges you can expect that it gets integrated in
Elementor (many releases / updates)
• UI changes a lot!
• If you are a WordPress geek you will have much fun with Elementor!
