Historically I have been using Elementor page builder to build websites but I am now actively looking for alternatives not linked to Israel.

I can not run by ethical business knowingly using products and services associated with Genocide and crimes against humanity.

Wix is also associated with Israel, so if you want to boycott Israel then the alternative to a hosted service is Squarespace, Webflow, Weebly or move to WordPress.

Here are 14 solid alternatives to Elementor for building WordPress websites that I will be using and recommending to my customers:

Gutenberg is the free block building WordPress editor. WordPress offers themes as a base to create great whizzy websites if you can get to grips with it.  Gutenberg lets you design headers, footers, page templates, and site-wide styles providing theme-building capabilities without needing a separate plugins. This is a great solution for simple, light weight advertising websites.

Divi is my go to website builder as it is eady to use, modern in design with lots of YouTube tutorials to help with specific styling.

The Divi Builder gives you freedom to create different headers, footers and bodies and assign them to different pages.

The pricing is good and I like the community of Divi users.

Beaver Builder is built for freelancers and agencies for its clean code known for producing exceptionally clean code and being a light weight solution.

Bricks Builder is new to me but is growing in popularity. It is a visual site builder theme for self hosted websites. It looks really cool so definitely worth having a look at. A good option for those with my coding knowledge who look for performance over design and build complex sites professionally. It has a steeper learning curve but gives excellent results.

Breakdance was developed by the creators of the Oxygen builder, with marketing heavily focused on improvements over Elementor — making it a popular alternative for agencies and freelancers. The Pro plan is $199/year for unlimited sites and includes priority support.

Oxygen completely disables the traditional WordPress theme system, giving users absolute control over design and code output, and generates very clean, efficient code — often resulting in top-notch performance. It uses a lifetime pricing model (one-time payment), making it cost-effective long-term for users building unlimited websites.

Kadence Blocks works with the native Gutenberg editor, offering a cleaner, faster alternative to Elementor. It intelligently loads only the assets for blocks actually in use, which is great for site speed and Core Web Vitals.

SeedProd includes 90+ pro blocks and over 300 templates for landing pages, coming-soon pages, and webinars. You can also create full site layouts including headers, footers, and archive templates without writing code.

Brizy features a drag-and-drop editor with inline toolbars and includes an alternative to the Elementor Pro theme builder, allowing you to create custom layouts for blog pages and posts. It also supports custom fields plugins like ACF and Toolset.

Thrive Architect is one of the most widely used landing page builders and is particularly recommended for those wanting to take complete control of their site design, especially for conversion-focused marketing sites.

Crocoblock is an ultimate toolkit of Jet Plugins (a modern set of tools) for building a website on WordPress without writing a single line of code

Coming to the tool, Crocoblock is an all-in-one business box of 20 Jet plugins, 60+ templates, 200 widgets and 80+ popups to create the website design you dream of with the eye-candy effects.

Before Elementor became so popular we used Visual Composer to create websites.

Visual Composer is a freemium (offers both free and premium versions) drag and drop builder.

The free version is adaquate for building advertising and simple websites.

Many of my websites use WPBakery which was the website builder that I was using into Elementor flooded the market.

WPBakery offers a simple and easy to use back end and front end editor for building pages and sections of your website.

There is a huge community of freelancers and influencers that use WPBakery.

Codecanyon has recorded WPBakery 4,00,000+ sales until now. This makes sense, as to why you should take try this amazing plugin.

Key Features include: predestined layouts, add-ons, flexible row layouts.

Though Themify Builder has some limitations, such as it doesn’t have box-shadow, hover effects, or gradients; it is still a well regarded website builder.

The great part of this plugin is its live preview editing feature in front of your eyes without writing a single line of code.

Most of all, Themify Builder plugin stands for tons of premium features other than free Elementor alternatives.

To be a vegan you must not eat animal products, to be an ethically driven business you must not use and promote good and services associated with war on civilians and genocide.

There are many alternatives which I will use in my business and promote to my customers. I will be testing most of these to a platform to maintain fast, light weight sites that are easy to use and easy to manage for my non technie customers.

Kadence Blocks and Gutenberg are great choices for lean and uncluttered websites.

For larger projects Bricks Builder and Beaver Buider offer a good investment.
