Why is Elementor WordPress better than Tilda, Wix and other website builders

Creating a website from scratch can seem like a daunting task, especially for beginners. But thanks to modern website designers, this process has become much easier and more accessible. It remains a small matter to choose the platform on which it is better to develop a website. In this article, we will compare the most popular WIX and Tilda services with a more advanced option — full-fledged Wordpress development using the Elementor plugin.

What is Elementor?

Elementor is a WordPress plugin, a visual website page builder (no-code solution) that provides full control over the design and structure of the website. With it, you can create unique layouts, customize each element of the page and see the result in real time.

Let's consider its advantages relative to visual constructors.

More customization options

The designers offer ready-made blocks (there are about 550 blocks in the Tilda catalog*) and limited control over each element of the page.

Elementor also allows you to create unique designs based on a flexible grid and user settings. The main functionality can be expanded with additional plug-ins. These plugins are made by third-party developers all over the world. Today, there are more than 56,000 plug-ins* available for installation. You can use them to do everything from creating pop-ups to setting up online payments.

Suitable for developing all types of websites

Tilda, Wix and other designers are optimal for quick launch of projects, portfolio sites/business cards/presentations. In theory, building a multi-page website is possible, but with restrictions on the number of pages and disk space (even on the most expensive tariff, only 1 GB of disk space).

WP is more flexible. You can use it to do everything from a simple landing page to an online store with 1000+ pages. However, there are no restrictions.

Own hosting: more reliable and cheaper

One of the main advantages of Elementor is that it is installed on your domain or subdomain. The pages are at your hosting service for an unlimited time, which makes it possible to make precise settings and flexibly customize the logic of the site.

And paying for a domain and hosting is incomparably cheaper than paying for any website builder, while being dependent on it.

No problems with SEO

The code generated by website designers (in particular, WIX) contains an abundance of errors and violations from the point of view of SEO. Search engines, encountering such errors on their way, significantly lower the site's position in the final search results.

There are no such problems in WordPress. It also supports many plugins that extend the functionality of the site. Some of the most popular are Yoast SEO and the All in One SEO Pack. In integration with Elementor, they provide tools for keyword analysis, meta tag creation, and optimization of titles and descriptions.

Integrates with various services

Elementor is friendly with many third-party plugins and services, which allows you to add new features and improvements as needed. For example, you can easily connect contact collection forms, online payment systems, email marketing solutions, and many other services. Integration with external services can be more difficult on Tilda and Wix platforms.

The ability to create multilingual websites

The Elementor interface and most of the plugins have been translated into more than 70 languages. To create a multilingual website, you can use WPML or Polylang plugins.

"Clean" source code

In Elementor, you can fully control the code that the system generates so that the site meets all development standards.
And if you have the skills to work with code or professional acquaintances, you can manually assign styles to any elements. This feature simply gives unlimited possibilities in creativity and modification of the project for any task.

Let's summarize:

Conclusion

Website development using the Elementor plugin in WordPress offers many advantages over the visual designers Tilda and Wix. Thanks to its flexibility, content control, and extensive integration capabilities, Elementor is an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced developers.
