ELEMENTOR REVIEW (Elementor vs Airi)
Elementor is now more than just one of the best page builders...
The Elementor page builder can be used in any theme. Elementor has its own theme which you can download for free, The Hello theme. Elementor itself houses more than 300 ready-made demos from which you can start your work, that's as good as the best themes. You don't need another theme with Elementor. The own Hello theme is more than enough.

In this Elementor review we discuss the very latest improvements that make the theme/pagebuilder score in the top. Elementor only came on the market in 2016 and has already been installed on more than 8 million sites, which is of course noticeable. This is not just a page builder but a tuned drag & drop tool to build websites very quickly and easily.
ELEMENTOR PAGEBUILDER REVIEW
Watch the clip below, it will probably give you a taste of how you can get started with the editor/page builder yourself. Here you can find all info about Elementor's Editor.
ELEMENTOR NAVIGATOR
This brand new tool can be used as a dock on the right of the screen or can float anywhere in your worksheet. Simply right-click an element or block on your worksheet and select "Navigator" to open it. The Navigator significantly increases the enjoyment of work and the speed at which one can work. Watch here a video and more info about the Navigator.
ELEMENTOR SAVE WORK
Who wants to do the same task over and over again? Elementor allows you to save work blocks and reuse them on other pages, posts, and even other websites. That way you save a lot of time if we compare it with how people used to work. The animation below gives a reasonable idea of what to expect.
READY-TO-USE DEMO DESIGNS
We discuss the top features of the Elementor page builder. The beautiful demo designs are certainly part of this. Earlier I told you that Elementor is basically just a theme because of the wide choice of demo material that you can use as the start for your website.
Similar to Divi there are plenty of 200+ layouts available for all possible niches. Think of corporate, web shops, the hotel industry, gyms, cafe, fashion, hosting, photography, architecture, lifestyle, travel and fashion. There are also many third parties that build beautiful layouts for Elementor. You can also use such a layout as a start for your work, but you will of course have extra costs. View here the complete library of layouts.
ELEMENTOR WOOCOMMERCE BUILDER
Elementor, like most top themes, is perfect for building webshops. Product pages and category pages of Woocommerce can be beautifully styled. In the past, quite a bit of HTML knowledge was needed for customizing shop pages, that has become a thing of the past. We assume you know Woocommerce, it is by far the most used shop plugin for Wordpress. Watch here a video and more info about the Woocommerce Builder.
ELEMENTOR REVISIONS EDITOR
Elementor, like other elite page builders, was less pleased with the revision editor included in Wordpress and decided to release its own improved version. I completely agree that the default Wordpress editor for revisions is worthless, that was always an eyesore when you had to put something back. Also Divi and Thrive have this tool. Watch here a video and more info about Elementor Revisions Editor.
ELEMENTOR REVIEW: MOBILE EDITING
Everything can be set separately with Elementor for mobile, tablet and desktop as you can see above. Of course Elementor is "out-of-the-box" responsive, but it is always nice to be able to make targeted adjustments for a certain device if necessary. However, all top themes and page builders also have this. Watch here a video and more info about Elementor's Mobile Editing.
ELEMENTOR COLORS
We give a perfect score in our Elementor review here to the color editor for texts, which is practically as beautiful as in a PC software like Photoshop. According to Elementor themselves, they are currently the only one that has "pixel perfect design". You can use all possible colors out there and also create gradients with them. Watch here a video and more info about Elementor's Color Picker.
ELEMENTOR HEADER & FOOTER
Total control over all headers and footers within your website. All elite page builders can do this, but it is an important tool to have in a theme. Watch here a video and more info about Elementor's Header-Footer Builder.

ELEMENTOR THEME ELEMENTS
The building blocks for the layout of your pages are the elements and Elementor offers very a lot of. Let's say practically everything has been thought of. Elementor even has pop-ups included as standard and very nice ones too, so forget about your pop-up plug-in from now on. You no longer need it. View here the complete info on all 90+ Elementor Widgets.
ELEMENTOR POP-UPS
Beautiful pop-ups, easy to set up too, a wonderful tool. The top page builders copy everything from each other. The popups are perfect for call-to-action and conversion purposes. View here all info about Elementor's popups.
ELEMENTOR REVIEW: PRICING
The prices for Elementor can be found here in the image above. In terms of quality, Elementor is worth triple its money, especially if we compare it with other premium themes that offer much less and are also even more expensive. View the pricing page here. Sometimes there are discounts.
ELEMENTOR ACADEMY
If you still have a few questions about Elementor, you might find them quickly answered in the more-than-organized Elementor Academy.
AIRI THEME (Elementor vs Airi)
In this Airi Theme review we take a look at the most important features of this theme . Designed by aThemes, this theme is highly ranked on Wordpress.org for popular themes and is featured on over 20,000 websites installed. I've had good experiences with another theme from aThemes called Sydney and assume Airi has about the same to offer.
Airi Theme review: Rating
When we check Airi's rating on Wordpress.org, we see that practically all raters gave 5 stars. Ratings are very important because it shows what people who know the theme think of it. The theme is still relatively new and more raters will follow, but the average usually remains the same.
Airi Theme review: Demos
The Airi (free) theme offers 6 beautiful demo layouts. That number doubles in the pro version. The demos are of high quality and if you want you can watch them here "live ".
Airi Theme review: Webshops
Airi is 100% compatible with Woocommerce and if you are going to build a webshop Airi is definitely a suitable candidate. The best part is that all of these layouts were built with Elementor. You can find alternative themes for building shops in my top 10 for webshop themes.
Airi Theme review: Speed
The Airi theme is a minimalist theme and can therefore be called fast. The bare theme with no extra plugins with just a well-configured cache plugin produced the result presented above. Of course you can optimize your website yourself for loading time. Follow this tutorial here.
Airi Theme review: Page builders
The Airi theme uses the Elementor page builder by default, but is compatible with Beaverbuilder, and practically all top page builders out there for Wordpress. I recommend installing Elementor for free, but much better of course the pro version.
Airi Blog Lay-outs
In case you want to start a blog or are looking for a different theme for your existing blog, it is good to know that Airi offers different styles such as masonry and list layout. However, the best theme for blogging is the Extra Theme.
Airi Headermenus
Airi offers different types of menus in the header. This is in no comparison to the header builders that some themes such as Divi offer, but it is probably more than enough for most projects.
Airi Google Fonts
Always nice to have a wide choice of different fonts. Google Font offers more than 600 fonts. However, do realize that fiddling with fonts is a lot of work and can sometimes cause errors. The fact is that all themes try to choose the best fonts for a layout and the question is whether you are really able to improve that.
Airi Theme review: Conclusie
It is clear that a lot is possible with Airi. The demo layouts are very good, even in the free version. With Airi one can build any type of website and of course it is a pleasure to use the Elementor pagebuilder to work.
For a little more money, you have access to all themes from aThemes instead of 1 theme. Memberships usually provide much more bang for the buck than just a theme, just like with Divi is the case.
ELEMENTOR VS AIRI CONCLUSION
The Airi theme has very nice layouts that you can install with 1 click, but Elementor has those too. Airi has thought of everything and it is a very good theme for building shops as well as websites. The problem is that Elementor is no longer a simple page builder but a real brand with a global product. The number of programmers they have working will be 10x greater than with Airi. That is why we should definitely choose Elementor, also because it is also much cheaper per website.
