Getting Started with Elementor Pro (Bundled with Your Plan)
Elementor Pro is included free with every Unisolva hosting plan. It is one of the most powerful WordPress page builders available — you can design any page, header, footer, or popup visually without writing a single line of code. Your plan also includes Ultimate Addons for Elementor Pro, which adds 40+ premium widgets on top of Elementor's built-in library, giving you an even wider range of design options.

Launching Fast with Astra Starter Sites Pro
Astra Starter Sites Pro (bundled with your plan) gives you access to 200+ professionally designed, full website templates built for Elementor. Instead of starting from scratch, import a complete site in minutes and customize it with Elementor Pro.
- Go to Appearance > Starter Templates in your WordPress dashboard

Tip Elementor Pro works best with a lightweight theme like Astra. Avoid using Elementor with a heavy theme — it can slow down your site and cause layout conflicts. |
