| Considered Both Products | Elementor  Michał Kuczek Programmer Chose Elementor In the wordpress environment Elementor is by far the best builder, there are new things coming to market like Breakdance, but their time is still to be decided in the future. Also overall in the entire web builder category, Elementor is unbeatable, having the power of WordPress …  Rachel Garwood Social Media and Web Developer Chose Elementor Elementor is a bit of a different platform than, say, easyTithe, Robly, and Apptivo, but it is comparable to Shopify. I feel like Elementor and WooCommerce are a lot easier to use than Shopify, and it doesn't come with such high fees. For our business, it was no choice! …  James Crook Business Coach at The Health Leader Co Chose Elementor We've used Divi and Enfold as well, both of those have a similar goal for visual editors and usability and work well - but Elementor feels more polished and has great support.  Taylor Hicks Creative Strategist Chose Elementor We weighed Elementor against the classic/native WordPress editor and Gutenberg. Elementor provides more functionality and with a greater ease of use than its competitors.  Daniel Cetina Founder Chose Elementor Actually, we switch to Squarespace after working with Elementor for a year. Squarespace is giving us best results and more freedom to make changes or add new stuff to the site  Kevin Carney Principle Chose Elementor I use Optimize Press on a business website. It has a conceptually similar WYSIWYG page builder. They provide a sales funnel capability with their theme, which is why I use them.  carlos ibarra Director Operaciones Chose Elementor Thrive leads and thrive architect is a pain to update, they've changed version and name in recent years. I am unable to update because every time there was an upgrade or new release of the plugin it caused issues with my website's functionality which has left me stuck updating …  Oleksandr Torlo Product R&D Manager Chose Elementor We wanted to use WordPress and not depend on the Tilda with annual fees, so we installed wordpress and bought a template on Envato market, and the selected template already had a built-in Elementor, which I just tweaked to fit my needs. Also we don't want to learn a completely …  Nuno Reis CIO (Chief Information Officer) Chose Elementor I tried a couple of website builders for Wordpress and Visual Composer was the only other that I considered using. Elementor is a better product like the price difference proves. I will choose Elementor whenever possible because it makes sense from a business perspective.  Jason Rutel Creative Director & Owner Chose Elementor Before using Elementor we used Divi by Elegant Themes, and the biggest improvements are in load speed and reduced bloat. Elementor editor loads faster and makes web design a more enjoyable process. I would highly recommend Elementor over Divi. It’s also helpful that Elementor …  Gary Williams President & CEO Chose Elementor We've used everything from Divi to Brizy to Gutenberg and beyond. For us, Elementor ticks all the boxes. Though Divi has its fanbase, it doesn't allow a client to switch easily down the road whereas Elementor does. Divi and Elementor were our final two choices as we went …  Jeff Smith Owner Principal Chose Elementor I am not finding the builders that I have used in the past in the prepopulated area. The builders that we have used in the past include Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, Instapages, as well as the classic editor and Gutenberg. I will say that Beaver Builder is probably a close …  Daniel J. Canto Bonilla Senior Network Manager Chose Elementor I tried Visual Composer and Divvy and no one is at the level of Elementor. It is very intuitive and easy, highly recommend. |  HostGator  Doug Skinner District Instructional Data Officer Chose HostGator Before moving to HostGator, we used a local hosting company that offered features and services it could not maintain. The cost escalated briefly while the product suffered, eventually killing the company altogether. Thankfully HostGator was available to provide everything we …  Dan Gospe Chief Operating Officer, and HIPAA Privacy Officer Chose HostGator When we were looking at hosting companies, it boiled down to both HostGator & GoDaddy. We chose HostGator because the sales team spoke to us more directly, whereas GoDaddy felt like they were reading a script. I did not compare speeds of websites between the two hosting …  Steven Davis Founder and Managing Director Chose HostGator HostGator is competitive in pricing. Siteground and GoDaddy were close competitors. I also ended up using WebSynthesis with a unique IP and a managed WordPress service which solves any hacking issues.  Jack Kingsman Web Developer Chose HostGator Ultimately, WebHostingPad just didn't have the quality or reliability I needed and full on VPS services like DO or Linode were total overkill. HG is fantastic for "it just works" FTP accessible hosting on a LaMP stack.  Jennifer R Glass Chief Executive Officer / Chief Payments' Professional Chose HostGator We looked at GoDaddy and a few other hosting companies before signing with HostGator as a reseller. We've continued to look at other companies when a particular business case presented itself for us to do so, however, it has always come down to us staying with HostGator for … |
