About this listen

Welcome to another episode of Websites Made Simple with me, Holly Christie.

I'm a web designer, founder, and mentor dedicated to empowering website professionals in their careers.

In this episode, I'm risking some backlash. And it's a topic that’s sure to get a lot of my peers riled up.

Drawing from years of experience with one specific tool, I'm explaining why Elementor needs to get in the bin, why its initial appeal sucks people in, and the frustrations I've faced with its licensing, code quality, frequent updates, and compatibility issues.

I said what I said.

And now you can hear it.
