Build Your First Page

Elementor uses three main building blocks: Sections, Columns, and Widgets.

Sections are the largest building blocks, and inside them are groups of Columns. Columns sit inside of Sections and are used to house the Widgets. Widgets are placed inside of Columns.
You control the Section, Column, and Widgets with their handle.
