Honestly, it was love at first drag-and-drop. When I joined 365i, I thought page-builders were a bit like novelty socks—fun in theory, but you never wear them. Then Elementor waltzed in with its sleek interface, and suddenly I was designing a full homepage between sips of my morning coffee.
I’d tried other builders before. Some were clunky, some were bloated, and some were like trying to decorate a wedding cake using a chainsaw. But Elementor felt different. It wasn’t just functional—it was enjoyable. That moment when you realise you can drag a button into place, tweak the padding, change the gradient, and see it all live? It’s addictive in the best possible way.
These days, it’s our go-to tool for everything from one-page portfolios to multi-section agency sites. Clients love the results. We love the process. And if something saves us time and makes us look good? That’s a no-brainer.
What Is Elementor?
Think of Elementor as the Swiss Army knife of WordPress design: one moment you’re tweaking fonts, the next you’re building complex layouts faster than you can say “Responsive.” It’s not just a plugin—it’s our secret sauce for turning caffeine-fuelled ideas into pixel-perfect reality. If you're still wondering whether it's worth it, we covered what makes Elementor Pro amazing in a separate post.
What Is the Main Reason 365i Uses Elementor?
I’ll be straight: if I had a pound for every hour saved by Elementor, I’d be retired on a beach with a laptop that magically never needs charging. In all seriousness, it’s the holy grail of speed and flexibility—no more wrestling with shortcodes or waiting ages for a preview. We shared a full breakdown of the Elementor 3.0 update when it landed—spoiler: we were impressed.
Why 365i Chooses Elementor
Intuitive Drag-and-Drop Interface
Remember when we used to peek at the browser console hoping we didn’t break the site? Now, I just drag a widget, drop it, and—boom—instant feedback. It’s like those satisfying ASMR videos, but for web design.
- Build fully responsive layouts without touching a line of code.
- Split-second previews on mobile, tablet, desktop (and my smartwatch—okay, I’m kidding about that last one).
Lightning-Fast Performance
Ever seen a client’s eyes glaze over waiting for a page to load? Yeah, me too. Elementor minifies CSS/JS so aggressively that those days are (mostly) behind us. Couple that with our WordPress Turbo Hosting and you’ve got warp-speed pages that still look gorgeous.
- Lean, mean, CSS-cleaning routines.
- Seamless integration with our CDN service for global snappy loads.
Advanced Customisation & Theme Builder
When a client demanded a Mega Menu that looked like the deck of the Starship Enterprise, I didn’t break a sweat—Elementor’s Theme Builder had my back. We’ve even whipped up custom widgets on our Agency Hosting plans that make clients feel like they’re wielding Excalibur.
- Global styles: one change, site-wide consistency.
- Custom headers/footers that actually stand out at conferences.

A: Only if you fill it with 27 GIFs of dancing cats. Otherwise, paired with Turbo Hosting and our CDN, it’s a cheetah on Red Bull.
Do I need coding skills to use Elementor?
A: Not at all. That’s one of its biggest strengths. You can build complex layouts using nothing but drag, drop, and a bit of flair. But if you do know code, it’s like having cheat codes unlocked.
