Unlocking the Power of the Elementor Grow Feature
Elementor has revolutionized the way we design websites with its intuitive, drag-and-drop interface. Among its plethora of features, one stands out for its simplicity yet profound impact on layout design: the Grow feature. Let’s delve into the mechanics and applications of this feature, ensuring your website elements are perfectly aligned and presented.
Understanding the Grow Feature
The Grow feature in Elementor is a hidden gem that allows for the dynamic resizing of containers and elements within your page layout. When designing a header, for instance, you might place a logo on one side and a navigation menu on the other. Using the conventional method, adding another element like a button might disrupt this harmony, requiring additional containers or complex adjustments. This is where the Grow feature comes into play.
By selecting an element and navigating to the Advanced > Layout options, you can apply the Grow setting. This pushes adjacent elements to the sides, maintaining their original size and ensuring your layout remains balanced and visually appealing. Itโs particularly useful for headers with logos, menus, and buttons but extends far beyond to various design scenarios.
Practical Applications and Tips
The versatility of the Grow feature extends to team sections, social media icons, and more. For example, in a team section, you might want to align items neatly while keeping a ‘Read More’ button directly below. The Grow feature allows you to push this button down without altering the top margin manually, creating a pixel-perfect design effortlessly.
Moreover, when dealing with multiple columns, the Grow feature ensures that your layout adapts seamlessly. By setting custom widths and applying the Grow option, you can achieve a uniform look, even when incorporating gaps between elements. This level of precision ensures your website looks professional across all devices.
To further enhance your Elementor experience, consider integrating tools like Rank Math SEO for optimizing your page’s visibility, FluentForm for adding advanced forms, Link Whisper for efficient internal linking, and Kinsta for hosting your Elementor-built site with speed and reliability. These tools complement the Grow feature, making your website not only visually appealing but also functional and high-performing.
Mastering Columns and Responsiveness
A common challenge in web design is ensuring your layout looks great across different devices. The Grow feature, combined with Elementor’s responsive design options, allows you to tailor your columns for tablets and mobiles. By adjusting the width percentage for different screen sizes, you can control how many items appear in a row, ensuring your site is as user-friendly on a smartphone as it is on a desktop.
Conclusion
Elementor’s Grow feature is a testament to the platform’s commitment to providing users with tools that are both powerful and easy to use. Whether you’re a seasoned web designer or just starting, mastering this feature can significantly improve the aesthetics and functionality of your layouts. It streamlines the design process, allowing for more creativity and less frustration. By incorporating this feature into your design toolkit, you can ensure your Elementor-built websites stand out for all the right reasons.

Hi i have a Question which Plugin shows me how many Variations i have also how many Products i have realy in Woocommerce build ??
@ldt865
Hi Ferdy, i'm a developer trying to learn WordPress, but i see a lot of costs: hostinger, the creator plan (40$ per month), woocommerce… Can you explain all that is needed to become able to produce different websites and sell them? Another thing i'm worried about is the plan: if i have 100 websites max on my account, it means i can build 100 different websites and all of them can run at the same time without problems? If you can make a video about those topics i think it would be very appreciated, thank you!
@learnearn3166

@bbontubecentral1
Ferdy, I have a question about Elementor. I watched your tutorial on using the Bloxy theme, and you used the customizer in WP for the header. With Elementor, is it better to build the header and footer in WP or elementor? I am new to wordpress and was curious. Do the settings in Elementor over-ride the wp settings? can you clarify this please? Thank you.
@deanontheinterwebs
Seems a lot cleaner and adaptable than the old coding ways — great tutorial, thanks.
@dimitrispappas2411
Simple and amazing tutorial as always Ferdy. May I ask you what you prefer for laptops, mobiles, and tablets, percentages or pixels for container width?
