Benefits of Elementor
Elementor is overall more focused on web developers than Divi, generally making it a better fit for websites that are managed by developers. There’s less overall scope in terms of when you install Elementor on a WordPress site. The backend editor of an Elementor site has less focus on design and is more streamlined. Because of this, Elementor is lighter and has faster load times. For those agencies that want to custom build a site with developers and then have that site maintained by developers in the future, Elementor is the best choice.
Benefits of Divi
For a website that needs to be more design focused, Divi may be the superior option. If a client has an internal web designer that is going to be making consistent design alterations to the site over time, that’s typically a better fit for a Divi website. Sites made with Divi tend to be heavier, with more CSS and design in the backend editor, but this allows for a designer to make more substantial changes faster than with an Elementor site.
