CMS & Technology

Elementor is a page builder plugin for WordPress that enables drag-and-drop website design. It supports responsive designs, widgets for elements such as forms or galleries, and integrations with SEO tools.

Elementor builds pages visually: drag and drop, set values. The advantage is that you can change content yourself without asking anyone. The trade-off is a certain amount of additional markup in the source code, which you have to keep to a minimum through proper organization.

A practical rule of thumb: If you handle recurring styling via global settings and custom CSS classes instead of dozens of individual values per element, you'll roughly halve the amount of data generated. A page built with individual values that produces 180 kilobytes of CSS will only need 60 to 90 kilobytes if it's properly structured. We're building exclusively with containers here, not with the old sections and columns.
