Divi User Tries Elementor

[@SimoAtlas]

Divi is more welcoming and organized. Both they do the trick but it's more like familiarity and preferences. Divi has a simple subscription module and they're trying to protect that and work around the core product by providing other added value like cloud services and marketplace ... I trust Divi and their team they're so nice.

[@aygunaytekin]

As someone who started this business using Elementor and later bought Divi, I can say that Elementor is much more stable and easier than Divi. Divi has great features, but like an F1 car, it takes a lot of work to use them. Elementor is like an automatic transmission car. You can easily get where you want by driving. I think Astra Theme + Elementor > Divi

[@jacobwonder6735]

I switched over from divi last year, I can build websites SO much faster with elementor. Divi has been VERY frustrating the past few years, they still force us to download all the templates from the ancient blog, and don't have a way to import them all at once. Elementor is such a better agency perspective, and it is so much more stable.

[@KeywordManagement]

I've tried them all and chose to standardize on Divi years ago. They'll all go tit for tat with features, but it's too much of a hassle to try to maintain licenses for every builder. Divi support wins hands down.

[@sdi1000]

Over 20 years, I have used extensively Elementor, Cornerstone, Bakery, Site Origin and DIVI - whilst I like aspects of them all, once you get to know them, they're all quite useable! Elementor really shines with the Pro upgrade, but you have to pay for it EVERY YEAR as a developer. The Deal DIVI has with lifetime "unlimited sites" usage is unbeatable so having invested, I now use DIVI exclusively. It also has amazing controls once you learn it! If they can fix their form builder to allow file uploads, it'd be perfect!

[@sdi1000]

...also, Elementor updates can break Elementor sites over time in my experience! You can roll back, but it's not a nice experience!

[@sitekrafter]

I agree with you. I've stop using their form builder, I use fluent forms instead.

[@ForeverEvolvingMind]

I have both Divi and Elementor, but I've used Divi so much, and it is my preferred theme/pagebuilder, but I also have Elementor Expert, though I had it grandrathered at 1000 sites. There are a couple of sites I want to work with it on. My opinion is that both are good, but they do work a little different. It's, as you say, a little tricky to learn (and patience is required to lean both), but good to have in your skillset. Not really sure about their forms though if they go through. Divi's goes through on a test than Elementor as far as email notifications go. Happy Holidays Mak to you and yours!

[@yigorich]

Let's say the Elementor pro plugin is running under a license, and when access to the pro over the license is terminated, will the pro elements become invalid? (I'm talking about the blocks used on the website, not the ones that haven't been added yet) If that's the case, it's a huge scam.

[@funnelscene]

Nice Mak! I used to be a Divi addict, then moved to Elementor. I personally love Elementor and the number of integrations. No doubt you'll get addicted, it's a matter of time...

[@gillesgomez3091]

I must confess I was feeling like you a couple of days ago. I had to work on a website which runs under Elementor and (as a very long time Divi user) I was confused! The UI are both similar... but at a same time so different. And as the website I was working on uses the free version of Elementor, many settings were missing. Frustrating. At a first glance, I tend to prefer Divi, but maybe that's just because I've been using it for such a long time that I am reluctant to change ;-) What I do like in Divi is that it is both a theme and a builder. That is so consistent. No need for an unnecessary third party theme. You can create your own Divi child theme and have everything under control. With Elementor, you need a theme, Elementor and your child theme. This adds a layer of settings and possible conflicts. I'm definitely a Divi guy... looking forward to the next gen Divi 5!

[@sarmadali77771]

I am using elementor since 2018. Small web design agencies mostly use elementor.

[@alvarocarrilho]

This piece of content was very interesting Mark. It's like those high level martial artists that try to grasp a new fighting style and look a bit helpless. We (the commun dudes) love it! I tried a few years ago the Oxygen builder and I gloriously fail. Well , now with AI capabilities I guess we are close to «prompt» the site independently of the builder. Cheers, Fom Lisbon Portugal

[@SuffianAhmed]

Wow, MAX you are really great and double sword with Divi and Elementor, you have giving confidence that we can make use of both Theme builder if needed and requested from Client really its good to know that you have started Elementor Tutorials too for FREE ;-) and we are looking forward for more. Good Work, keep it up hope Divi will not make anything out of this since you already declared you are working independent with your own ;-) Hurry! We are eagle to see more videos from you, also please explore Elementor pre build Blocks design with your coming videos. Conratulations Brother.

[@SuffianAhmed]

Hope for yourPromotions Elementor will release Lifetime Unlimited License Plan for us too ;-)

[@sitekrafter]

Hello, thanks for your support. I will be definitely creating Elementor tutorials. I've been getting a lot of emails from people requesting them :) But I will continue to do Divi tutorials too.

[@mysticalsouls]

I bought Elementor Pro last year to give it a go and lasted a week. Was so frustrating to acheive the simplest design and didn't find it intuitive at all. Have the license sitting going to waste

[@wilkierwj]

I use both Divi and Elementor. Each has their advantages and disadvantages, the main drawback of Elementor being its pricing. The Elementor interface is actually much more intuitive than Divi's once you are used to it and far, far quicker and snappier (at least on my setup it is). You can get around the header/footer not being editable on the free version by using plugins that allow you to edit these or by using a theme such as Astra that allows you to edit them.

[@LittleLindaPindaDesigns]

Could you please do a REVIEW on DIVI FLASH? Is it worth it. Will it save time creating pages? Thank you for all your videos and great information.

[@abiolaowoaje7014]

I had to update a client's website built with Elementor recently and it was a nightmare finding my way around it. It's not as intuitive as Divi and some things like adding text with paragraph spacing could only be achieved by manually inserting html codes. I'm sure some people find Elementor works for them, but comparing my first experience with Divi and first experience with Elementor is like chalk and cheese.

[@jarichatech6398]

Hie mark will you be doing more elementor tutorials like those you have done with divi

[@sitekrafter]

If a lot of people want to see them, I will do the tutorials. I don’t mind.

[@stanfordlee]

If you want to add two buttons in a row. If use the old section column, you can add an inner section there(with two columns), or the new container, with two buttons, change their direction to one row, and center them in the middle. Is it right? DIVI user to Elementor.

[@Blizzard4135]

While I prefer the Divi UX experience overall , it's lagging in the implementation of a container module, with the flex css. And that you can't use a row inside a row. I know that this will be solved with the version 5 of Divi, but they should have already adressed this issue.

[@SurajBajracharya]

Hi mark nice move.... try making more tuts on Elementor too

[@sitekrafter]

Thanks, will do!

[@dionnye4042]

Hi mark ..take up the Elementor’s beginners with us.....to make a moneytizing page with fluent crm review!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🤣🤣

[@RVingLiveTheDream]

LOL, you sound like me trying to figure out Divi.

[@BeFoundOnTheWeb]

WTG, Mac!

[@nathandigital]

For me Elementor is the best and simple to learn

[@hstrinzel]

DIVI!

[@richardmasters2045]

Elementor is pretty bulky and does not have an undo like Divi does. I use both and each are for specific projects. I use Elementor for more woocommerce kits that are readily available. Upload the kit and change the wording and images and you are done' It is great for ecommerce sites with wordpress or anything integrating with directories. Divi is excellent for artistic design and speed. I prefer Divi but it is not compatible with some of the functions that I use for my online databases. Many of the designed that my clients have used were with Themeforest and many of those plugins need Elementor for compatibility such as with my real estate website. With those kits and plug ins that are designed for elementor I can upload the kit and have a fully function ecommerce store and directory much quicker than I can with Divi. However, in 2023 I will be moving away from Wordpress and investing my time and energy into JavaScript and ReactJS. WordPress got kinda boring for me lol. I can create an amazing website with Divi in about 1 hour 30 minutes and about 2 hours with Elementor. Now I am into JavaScript, ReactJS, NodeJS, and Python for machine learning I know people say that coding is hard but it's actually easy just take it little by little, practice and be consistent. Also, it's always best to get the book then try to learn on a youtube vid lol

[@SalesPros]

hate to make you feel like numbskull but elementor does have "Undo" in under the History Button

[@jacobharris2373]

Hey Richardmatters2045, great post congrats on your success!! Keep going and crush it bro 👊

[@bloggerdynamics9190]

I love Divi, I don't want to talk trash so that's all I'm going to say

[@alienated1997]

I have been waiting for my lifetime membership after purchasing FCRM from your link. :(

[@sitekrafter]

Sorry about that, I must have missed your email. Please send me an email and I will do it right away.

[@alienated1997]

@@sitekrafter The big question is how? I have been replying to the related newsletters about it.

[@KariposTheOne]

I wouldn't use Divi or Elementor in 2023, both have bad Performance and are bloated. Use Bricks or some Gutenberg Blocks Plugins/Themes.

[@ac1299]

Divi is the best !!! 👍 Elementor is trash!!!

[@tonybp]

DIVI is a mess, you always end up using CSS and all kinds of hacks to make it work, especially when it comes to responsive design. Only good thing they have going is their lifetime deal, but I guess that's how they compensate for their crappiness.

[@WellnessEpisodes]

Elementor is overrated and not user-friendly. It's equally an old drag-and-drop page builder with relevant plugins that seamlessly talk to one another. I've tried both Divi and Elementor, so I know what I'm talking about. On the other hand, Thrive Suite is the best, fastest, easy to implement, and superior website builder unmatched so far. Thrive Suite doesn't come with a version to test-drive, so it's often ignored by most newbies and seasoned marketers. But that's the end of your headache. The rest is a breeze and easy to implement. With a plethora of plugins that talk to each other, building a website that converts visitors into buyers is a wonderful experience. A website is not only about looking pretty. It must make your cash registrar ring or it has no use to me. Mak, I suggest you search on KZbin for Thrive Themes or Thrive Suite. Spend time watching two or three videos that'll surprise you. Then do a video comparing Divi and Thrive. Forget Elementor, it's overrated and disingenuously positioned as the builder of standard. I prefer Thrive. - Nicholas Okonkwo.
