Elementor alternative: should you use a theme or plugin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Below, we\u2019ll be sharing both themes and plugins as Elementor alternatives. But, before we get there, it\u2019s important to understand what each option brings to the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to use a theme as an Elementor alternative…<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In general, WordPress themes can be a good Elementor alternative if you’re primarily looking for an alternative to Elementor Theme Builder. A customizable one can give you a similar level of flexibility in a simpler package. Some, like the Neve theme on our list, even offer lightweight drag-and-drop header and footer builders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By increasing your site’s loading speed, a good theme can also help you create a more performance-optimized foundation than what Elementor offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tradeoff, though, is that even the most flexible WordPress theme still won’t give you 100% control like Elementor.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

When to use a plugin as an Elementor alternative…<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In general, visual builder plugins can be a good Elementor alternative if you still want to use a visual, drag-and-drop design interface for everything. You might want this functionality for landing pages, or you might want full theme-building support like you get with Elementor Pro Theme Builder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the main downsides of choosing a visual builder plugin, though, is that it has the same performance tradeoffs as Elementor. That is, it will add some extra weight to your designs versus using a lightweight theme as your alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that out of the way, let’s get into our picks…<\/p>\n\n\n
