Do not apologize for your wants. You have excellent points and Elementor should listen to you.

Brilliant video Paul with excellent ideas 💡
I hope the Elementor team listens.

Hi, I hope your are fine. It was a Teacher's day in India, we celeberate this day to honor our gurus. And I want to say Happy Teacher's day to you. I learnt so many things about website building watching your videos. Thank you for the awesome tutorials. Your are a great teacher. Love from India.

Great to also see this honest feedback and you are very much right on a lot of things.

My perfect Elementor would be:
1. ACF and CPT built in (like Jet Elements)
2. Custom loops!
3. Loops carousel
4. Mollie integrated in Forms
5. Conditions and logic
6. Leaner setup
7. Widget marketplace
8. Steady core functions

Several of the above suggestions are the reason I am seriously thinking about also using Dynamic.ooo. This is crazy, to add €50, - just for tools that could easily be integrated.

I built one website, but use 22 plugins and also learned some CSS. I looked at PHP, but this is a bit much. But I’m really interested to see what the future of Elementor will hold.

100% agree with you! Great overview! They are just constantly neglecting pro users. Some of the points you brought up are collecting dust on their GitHub for years despite hundreds of comments.

[jasonbeard]

Everything you said was 100% spot on.
@Elementor, hope your listening!

[susanwheeler-hall]

Love the idea of the marketplace, and yes woo pages with more would be nice too.

[milanmilicev]

I agree with all the things you said. I would love to see some type of class for elements, columns and sections so when you add that class and change it on any one of the other ones it updates all of them. Webflow has that option and I think it's a real time-saver. No more right-click copy style/paste style. And a toggle for all the elements, so we don't load the ones we don't use.

[ashkanahmadi]

Totally agree. Conditional fields, visibility and logic would be great. Also built-in mega menu builder, and much better WooCommerce customization and integration. Custom post loops as well as post carousels and post filtering options like FilterWP would be awesome as well.

My dream Elementor
- Global Presets
- Megamenu
- Seing the thumbnail of the all sections & templates in the theme builder
- Built in Custom Post Types, custom loops, filters, etc..
- Built in front end translation
- Desktop App that would allow to see the big picture and synchronise all layouts like adobe XD
- Cloud that would allow to synchronise presets and templates and see our templates in the library
- Export the templates in a folder, Json renamed like the template and with a thumbnail (for archive purpose)

Great points. Specially Core Elementor and modularity concept. I hope Elementor developers hears and considers your input.

[greghyatt]

Paul this was a fabulous take on what Elementor should be focusing on! Right now, Divi has stepped up their game with regards to global styling and presets of all their widgets. Like you, I want to be able to create a default style to select widgets to be able to bring in later throughout the design process.

In addition, you are absolutely 💯 % correct on conditional logic. Why should we need to have to add more plugins to achieve this. If they want to be at the very forefront, they need to focus on more of the basics and less shiny new "Squirrels." Just my two cents on this matter!

[PietroMalaguti]

It's a real pleasure to hear from you what I asked Elementor team to do: enable/disable widgets and function unless they are useful apart form core functions obviously.
Why 3rd party companies can do it and Elementor can't???
It would be the most effective and professional way to make Elementor the perfect instrument for a quick and responsive page builder, like i.e. Oxygen.

[YasienSarlie]

Awesome video. I think you nailed it. I really hope Elementor watch and take head to your pointers here

[karolryan]

Reliability, robustness and ability to switch off unused widgets.

[peterm.weidich]

Just a thought for a new video in line with this topic. It would be great if you could look into the new Elementor option for optimizing DOM-output - and how much it actually affects your pagespeed. Will a pre-build page load faster? Will the same page in a re-build version load faster? And what is the actual gain measured in Pingdom and GTmetrix. Cheers.

I agree, the ACF conditional visbility is an absolute must. It's stupid to apply a series of template to cover all variety of content for a product page.

[thinkgobig]

Spot on with custom fields in custom loops - that would cut at least one plug-in out of the mix. I do love dynanic.ooo though. The thing about half baked features doesn't bother me so much. A lot of big development companies do this to test what people are using and what is worth working on. I'm not sure if that's what elementor is doing there, but I don't mind that part.

#1: Polish the code! #2: Make it easy to create GSAP-grade animations #3: Add additional customizable breakpoints #4: Implement the workflow improvements Webflow keeps advertising --> in that order

Very valuable points you brought up. Just to add a point and that is around the mobile settings. They have diffrent values on many widgets on web vs mobile (eg. 2 colums on web & then 1 on mobile even if you set it up with %).
Then the "Wow" I think goes for most of the plugins out there in general. All seems to chase the new "Wow" instead of cleaning up what they already have.
