New Feature: Elementor Blocks - Good or Bad?

In this short video we take a look at the upcoming new feature in Elementor 2.0 - Blocks. Using Elementors pre built blocks, you can quickly build web pages and websites.

We test out this new feature, but what are your thoughts on making Elementor a more template orientated plugin?

Is it missing the point? Is it going to put designers out of a job?

Another great video, I like a lot the way you record your reviews and tutorials, they are fast but not too fast and, most of all, you always go directly to the point without bla-bla-blaing around !!!

Thank you for this info. I am currently using Elementor Pro as I build my sites and can't wait to have this go live and help me speed things up.

Elementor is the best tool I have ever come across...and your tuts are great! Thx

Elementor 2.0 looks great! It continues getting better and better. Thank you for the review!

Haleluja! This is amazing for us that don't make websites for a living and don't have to stand out in the crowd. I only make websites for myself and to some friends, so I don't care if someone can spot my site from 100 yards away...

I find it near impossible to build a website from scratch so this is a big help for me. I am not a designer, but I build databases and code functionality via javascript. This fills a void for me in setting sites up. Very fast way to work too.

Maybe "Elementor 2.0" has to wait for "WP 5.0 Gutenberg" to be finish? Gutenberg also its building blocks. I believe it will be a "super combo" to use both together.

I can understand Web Designers being nervous about templates and now blocks -These do bring good web design within the reach of everyone.
However that is the same problem that professional photographers have - They just need to hone their craft and find ways to differentiate their product.
In the end for most of us, we make a viewer want to stay through eye-catching landing pages plus a “gimme” - something that draws the customer in.
Content is key.

Hi, for sure is a good addon. From what I understood there is no a post content element. It would be really good improvement with it

[Hammmmyy]

Elementor is really on top of what we as users. I would really like an update to the custom CSS area. I enjoy the ability to create a template/block and save it to quickly deploy on another project. Cookie cutter websites will always happen, eventually those who only use the given blocks/templates will have to customize to stand out. It's to the designers own disadvantage to not add their own style

[robertwattner]

I think blur is the future and I would love to see those settings added to all of the images and background image settings.

[GaelyneGasson]

I like it. It'll make things easier as I found using full page templates when you just want one section / element. I'm wondering if using the word 'Blocks' is a good thing though, considering that Gutenberg will be using that particular word (though I'll admit I don't actually know what their blocks are supposed to do or be like as I haven't been following it as closely as I follow Elementor.

[אחיעדחזן]

i have a question, why do you stretch the area via js instead of making it full size?

[dlccarlson]

Anything that makes it easier I am happy about. My question for you is: can you create and save your own blocks?

[C-MAGs]

There are people who buy Elementor Pro and then immediately call themselves Web Designers (I've seen them on Facebook) and for me, I had the feeling that I could start to spot an Elementor made site from 100 yards away. NOW, with these (extra hand holding) blocks, I think I'll be able to start to spot them from 10 miles away. It's just a matter of time.

[nssdesigns]

Is it possible to install DIVI builder and Elementor Pro and chop and choose between Page Builder depending on what you want? Obviously using one or the other on separate pages

[liskabernet]

What font are they using in Elementor blocks?

[selimmw]

Yeah it's really good for all user.
