<h2>The Power of Elementor Pro</h2>
Elementor is available in two versions: a free version and a premium version called Elementor Pro. The paid version offers additional features for creating more complex websites compared to the free version, which only provides basic page builder functionality. By
upgrading to Elementor Pro, users gain access to a broader range of tools and options for customizing their websites.
<h2>Elementor's Global Impact</h2>
As of February 2025, Elementor was available in 64 languages and was the most popular WordPress plugin worldwide, with over 10 million active installations. It is an open-source platform licensed under GPLv3 and powers 5.07% of the top 1 million websites
globally. In 2020, Elementor raised $15 million in its first round of institutional funding from Lightspeed Venture Partners.
<h2>Elementor's History</h2>
Founded in 2016 by Yoni Luksenberg and Ariel Klikstein, Elementor quickly gained recognition. In May 2019, the company released its "Hello" theme on WordPress.org, a minimalist theme framework designed specifically for use with the Elementor page builder. This
same year, Elementor acquired Layers WP, a WordPress theme brand, and partnered with A2 Hosting to provide hosting accounts for users. On March 31, 2020, Elementor launched an expert network for web creators.
<h2>Revolutionizing Web Design: AI Copilot</h2>
In 2025, Elementor introduced AI Copilot, an integrated artificial intelligence assistant that helps users generate content, layouts, and design elements directly within the page builder. This groundbreaking feature revolutionized web design by offering users a
more intuitive and efficient way to create stunning websites.
