ELEMENTOR REVIEW (Elementor vs Zakra)
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.
ZAKRA THEME (Elementor vs Zakra)
The Zakra Theme has a free as well as a Pro-version. The free version is very popular and as it should be, the Pro version is of course 5x better. I will discuss both versions. Zakra himself states to be a super-fast loading light-weight theme with 60 great demo websites that can be installed with 1 click.
Zakra theme review: Rating
Ehen we go to Wordpress.org and check Zakra's rating there, is it practically 5 out of 5. There are few themes with a better rating because there are out of 400 people who have given a rating, only 6 or 7 people who voted less than 5 stars. Zakra has been installed on more than 60,000+ websites and 474 people gave a rating, so that is very reliable.
Zakra theme review: Demos
Just like any other self-respecting WP theme these days, Zakra has ready-to-use demo websites that can be installed with 1 click, Zakra currently offers 60. Some of these are only available to Pro users. The Zakra demos are of very good quality and the speed of the site is maintained with these themes. You can see the Zakra demos live via their website.
The nice thing about demos is that you can make a quick start with them. The website is already ready, but still with the wrong photos and texts in principle. So place your logo in it, adjust the texts and photos and you are well on your way to having your own site.
Zakra theme review: Webshops
With Zakra, the integration of the popular Woocommerce is a piece of cake and the theme is completely prepared. Zakra gives you the opportunity to style the shop pages how you want without any HTML knowledge. The web shops that are built with this theme have a very professional appearance.
Zakra theme review: Speed
In the meantime, no theme wants to lag behind in terms of loading times or speed, as Google attaches more and more value to this. Zakra is therefore also built with a fast code that ensures good loading times in browsers. Zakra has the Vanilla Javascript instead of jQuery which is about 25% faster, this is quite unique although more and more top themes use it. You can see from the images above that Zakra with a cache plug-in performs extremely well in all tests, these are top loading times.
Zakra theme review: Page builder
The Zakra theme comes standard with the Gutenberg page builder. Although the theme is compatible with any of the best page builders out there, I recommend Elementor page builder. If it fits your budget the pro version otherwise the free version which is also very good.
Zakra theme review: Header builder
Zakra has extensive settings that allow you to style the header exactly the way you want it. No technical or HTML knowledge is required to adjust the header. You can see in the image above what the Zakra header has to offer. Of course, this only applies to the pro version.
Zakra theme review: Other features
Apart from the very good header options, Zakra has a lot more but I want to keep this review short and sweet so that you don't get bored, further information can of course be read on their own site, much better than here. Zakra Pro offers you quite a few different blog layouts, a great footer builder, all types of sidebars, special fonts, and good menu options although I don't believe they offer a mega menu.
Zakra theme review: Conclusion
I think the Zakra theme is already very good as a free version. The pro version is also great although there are of course better themes. The theme offers beautiful demos, many customization options. The theme works perfectly with Elementor together, my favorite page builder. This is one of the better themes available for Wordpress.
ELEMENTOR VS ZAKRA CONCLUSION
The Zakra theme has a great rating for a reason. It offers 60+ beautiful demo layouts and is also very suitable for building webshops. All in all a great theme and also with a very fast loading time. The problem is that to be compared with Elementor one has to come from an even better background. Elementor has a huge team and is capable of much more than virtually any competition on Divi na dan.
