    Hi there!
    So I have a question. I’m willing to pay for the service, but was hoping to test run some things out here first. I was able to install WordPress free to my computer, and There’s a free version of Elementor. It looks like I have to pay to install elementor. Is this true, or is there a way to install and try it out for a few weeks or something? Am I doing something wrong here? I’m lost and can’t seem to find anything on the web that answers this question.

    I’m looking to design websites on wordpress rather than just on wix.

    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks so much!
    ~Shaun

    Hey there Shaun, I went ahead and moved your question to its own thread.

    I was able to install WordPress free to my computer, and There’s a free version of Elementor. It looks like I have to pay to install elementor. Is this true, or is there a way to install and try it out for a few weeks or something? Am I doing something wrong here? I’m lost and can’t seem to find anything on the web that answers this question.

    Ah, sorry for the confusion. You installed a copy of the free software locally. Now you just need hosting so it can go live on the web.

    You would need our Pro managed hosting plan to install Elementor here. Bear in mind, that comes with SSL hosting, maintenance, security, Akismet spam protection, Jetpack Backups, and direct WordPress support.

    You could also self-host by buying hosting elsewhere and installing a copy of WordPress there. Since you figured out how to install WordPress on your own computer, you may feel comfortable managing those other features and services yourself, and if so that may be a good option for you.

    We have more info on the differences here:

    And about free trials, we don’t have any free trials that offer Pro features, but the plan can be refunded if you cancel within 14 days:

    Hoping this helps! Let us know what other questions you have and we’ll be glad to assist.
