How to Add Forms in Elementor

November 5, 2026

Elementor is a website builder for WordPress that makes it easy to create web pages using a drag-and-drop editor. You can build landing pages, homepages, and contact pages, add elements like text, images, buttons, videos, and forms, and customize fonts, colors, spacing, and layouts. 

You can also make your pages look good on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices and create headers, footers, and other website sections with supported features and plans. If you have a WordPress website built with Elementor, you can add your Jotform forms using the HTML widget.
