Elementor is a mobile-friendly visual page builder that grants a very large amount of customization with a simple interface. After installing it to your WordPress site you can go to edit and find it there, and once you’ve clicked edit it will give you the ability to move, resize, and adjust most things on a page to fit your needs. Elementor is free but we use the pro version because it provides you with a lot more options for editing content, customizing the header, footer and more. There is no coding needed but it does give you an option to use advanced coding if you choose.
