What is Elementor?
Elementor is a page builder with a drag-and-drop editor concept that you can use on the WordPress CMS.
So Elementor can only be used on the Wordpress CMS platform, it cannot be used on other CMS platforms, let alone frameworks like Codeigniter and so on.
If you are a WordPress CMS user, Elementor can help you design a website in the easiest and fastest way.
Using Elementor does not require advanced CSS or HTML knowledge, because the process of creating a web page is simply by dragging and dropping.

Step 6: Enter your active email and password in the fields provided..
