- What if your client leaves? Do you still pay for Elementor Pro? What if you want to stop working with your client? Do you pay for clients that don't pay maintenance fees? In this video I will explain how you should approach this problem in my perspective. I hope that you guys like this video!

If you stop paying for Elementor Pro, stop the automatic updates to the free version.
I built a site for myself, I paid to have a tool to build it.
Right now the site is great and I see no reason to pay for support and updates.
The problem is that when the free version was updated and matched the latest pro version, the site broke.
The solution was to go back to an earlier version and turn off automatic updates.
I hope this helps someone ..
Thanks for all your videos !!
8:40 finally. Thanks. Useful video.
That was what I wanted!
THANK YOU!

This is his tactic. Keep talking about nothing and make the video watched.then In the end of video you get the explanation. I am sick of cheap affiliaters.
Thanks
Haha i was in shock when i see you spelling my name! 😳😄 Thanks a lot for the video! I got my answer, I'll purchase Elementor pro with your link soon! 🤓
Hahah! That’s funny. And awesome! Thanks so much for the support.

I can't write one million words article right now to show my gratitude towards you brother however I will do write this short comment. Your content is top notch and I have been a subscriber of your channel for quite sometime. You do quite impressive and efficient work. Thanks brother and more power to you. Keep doing what you are doing. Great Work
*I really curious about this in the morning and ur video comes across.*
Rino, you are the best man... I'm from Brazil and your free content is helping me so much to create my website!
I belive your contet is more valuble than courses what whe pay a lot of dollars to learn a superficial content... Thank you so much my friend, i really hope do you channel grow a lot 🙏🏻
What I love about your video is the way you explain how to deal with a client. A lot of other youtube videos don’t get into that stuff, this is why I look forward to your posts. Great job 👍
oh, I would love to see a video on how to sell a plugin(s) to your client, how do you tell them how and why they need them and why the cost is worth it. Some websites might require a few premium plugins and the cost can soon add up.
That's a very good video idea. I will write it down. Also, awesome that you look forward to the next video!
Really needed to know about this topic. Clarified. Thanks 🙂
Hey, thanks for the wonderful video especially the part of having clients paying for the Elementor. I want to know what do you offer to clients in monthly maintenance? Also, it would be interesting if you start a series on freelancing for Web Developers and Designers. Thanks
Just bought one elementor pro expert with your link. Thank you for your content.
I always learned a lot on your channel thank you for uploading.
thank you so much! subbed a few days ago! Will be buying the elementor pro through your affiliate link!! thanks again!!
I love your channel! You do a superb job.
Thank you very much for this video, it really helped me understand the process of using Elementor and also with helping clients.
Answer beginning at: 02:00
Thanks for the great explanation. This is something what is not really clear communicated. I would like to use pro just for my personal blog, thanks!
Thank you for helping me a lot, and your videos are great.
I live in Asia and I charge $500-$1500 for website design. It's quite fair for me. Thank you for mentioning that
This is a brilliant video thank you so much. I've been wondering the same thing for so longb😆
So glad!
Thanks again for all the tips you give, these are really great all the time. Do you think you can do a vidéo on your maintenance routine ? I am really interested on the way you keep the work flow efficient (other than Wp manager) as you could have many clients :)
Good video and excellent commentary on operating a service business. "Let's be honest." Thanks.
This makes sense!! Thank you!!
How do you write invoices and offers to your customers?
Same

Very helpful, thank you. I also cringed when you said "modern country" and i would personally not generalise income levels by continent. Keep up the great work ♡
This is very useful. Thanks.
Thank you for the informative videos you make! I was really motivated by your videos and started freelancing, but I have a concern related to hosting. What if my client don't want to work with me anymore but their website is on my hosting subscription. In this case, am I suppose to export their website and give them or should I keep it on my hosting subscription like Hostinger? What would you do in this situation?
Hey Reno! I have recently binged watched all your videos and am a huge fan😅. Video suggestion idea: how does a web designer best display his website builds on his website?
Thanks for all your videos about Wordpress
Hey Rino, Nice video.
Another thing that can happen if you don't keep plugins up to date is that they can be exploited (and that's not something you want)
Keep up the good work 💪
Thanks! Great ideas
There are so many other factors that go into running a business other than your software costs. You have to factor in hardware costs, utilities (to name a few), & of course your time too.
Thanks dude you answered my question
If I no longer wish to use Pro is there a quick way of identifying components on pages which use Pro so they can be changed to the free version before uninstalling the Pro plugin?
Hi rino, when you start a project is it better to ask the client to get word press and elemntor pro and work on their account name or you work in your own accounts and add all the websites?
Because in case the client not paying for maintenance. How can he get the website and pay for himself if it's on my account.
Thankyou so much!
Quite frankly I am concerned. Basically I have always bought in the clients name. I do this with hosting, domains, builders, themes, etc. If they want to leave, I hand them the keys. Clients love this. They don't feel trapped. Ive never had a client leave, mostly because of this policy. My philosophy is, they paid for it, it's theirs. I wouldn't sell them a house and keep the deed. Same here. They buy it, I put their name on it.
Hi, I have elementor pro and am fairly familiar working with it but it’s also nice to make sure all is running smooth and kept up to date... how much will you charge me per month for this?
Great video, I would love to see a video on how to set up the payments, so the clients are paying with there details.
Maybe it's just me, but I would feel really uncomfortable telling a client that I built a site for that if they don't pay for Elementor pro FOREVER- it won't give them security updates.
Thanks a lot for this! So you can’t use elementor free thereafter? Couldn’t you use free but just lose access to pro blocks or features?
Hi nice video thank you
My question is what’s about footer widgets now in Elementor not possible to as Wordpress widget in the Elementor footer ?
Thanks for this vidz brother , I now learn how to charge my clients . Im elementor pro fan here, but sometimes I get disappointed when the color palletes back to original , i dont know why elementor do that,
Child theme is the answer
my current website was built by some one, but they are not maintaning anything after the handover. Can i know how do i check when is my elementor pro subscription due for renewal? and can I i do it on myself?
I need to make a website for my e-commerce business. I refuse to use shopify and other sites to have control over me and charge for ever small feature to add. I am also not making multiple websites, just multiplr pages, blog, contact us, etc, but do love the features on elementor pro & plug-ins.
If I essentially never update anything, would my website be fine? Just like a smartphone or computer (technically).
Until the point I want to change the overall look and feel for my own website, then I would have to get a new license?
Your English is flawless! Where did you go to school?
What software do you use to make your videos & edit them?
nice video. thanks bro.
how about things like role manager? will that still work when the pro license ends
Do I have to pay for element or pro whenever I make a new website? For each website a new element or pro or can I use the zip file for all of my websites?
I'm about to renew my second pro year. 🙌
I decided to take a break from your skill share course to watch you here instead :)
Nice videos man! Question: how can we create directory websites with elementor?
If you go to legal section of Elementor, it is said it's under a GPL licence unless mentioned explicitly and they don't mention it explicitly anywhere, which means you are not paying for Licence but rather for support.
From Terms and Conditions -
Elementor is a free software released under the GPLv3 license. When using the Elementor and Elementor Pro software, you receive all rights granted under the GPL. These Terms of Service do not govern your use of the Elementor and Elementor Pro software, but your services received from Elementor Ltd.
Yeah, I care less about it as I always use its free version with the combination of the right theme & the right additional plugin. Everything is working like charm for the last 2 years.
What happens if I deactivate my elementor Pro, and stop paying.. As I saved some blog post as a template can they be duplicated edited and still reusable??
What if the pages are created are duplicated and used for a layout for repeated blog post layout?
How can someone dislike this video!!
My Elementor Pro for my own website expired on 2019-10-08 and now in September 2020 it stopped working and can't be edited..
and some parts of website eg. contact form is missing.. so no backward compatibility as earlier promised
and other various issues on the road with each update when you just want to keep basic elementor version up to date..
I think this is not fair. We pay this tool to make up a design. It's OK we won't be able to edit it anymore if license is expired but I don't expect the pro element will be missing.
Still it doesn't answer the question, will it be tottaly down or just pages created by elementor which will be down if we don't pay?
Thank you, for me I'm using divi theme with the lifetime update.
how much does it cost?
@@parthtool You can buy it from a resellers on fiverr.
That's a good deal
@@parthtool For $5 only 🙃
@@oqba how do i get it? A link please.
Just a heads up. Looks like elementor has aggressively increased their pricing model since this video came out
Hi, what do you do about cookies policy in Europe and America/private policy.
Don't forget your laptop, Internet connection, Phone subscription that allows you to talk to your clients or your clients to reach you, may be you have a car to drive to your clients locations for meetings and what not, if you have a dedicated office, add the rent, if you are working from home, add 25% of your rent to the equasion... These are all hidden costs that people tend to foget.
Incredible!)
Can you please make a video of using Crello for making Graphics of Website?
I have bought Crello Pro but now I'm stuck how to use it for designing images and graphics of Website?
Thanks!
And Thanks for such informative videos. Hope you pay attention to this.
What if i havent activate licences Of elementor pro. Can i edit the widgets
@LivingWithPixels Hi can you build a website or sales funnel with elementor free plan totally from scratch without using any single themes so that you build everything yourself, the whole design? Thanks
Hi, what about pricing in 2021? it is only 25 site for 99$ and 999$ for 1000 sites. Is the solution to raise the price for customer? Great videos. Thanks.
I guess you can disable elementor for each individual site inside the elementor dashboard. Can that be used to revoke the license incase the client doesn't want to work with someone again???
I notice the pricing has dramatically jumped since this video $49 for 1 site is now $89, $99 for 3 sites is gone, $199 for 1000 sites is now $999. The $199 option is now only for 25 sites. Seems pretty significant. Were you grandfathered in, did you just pay the increase or did you find an alternate?
Yeah video content need to update
The prices changed again. It's $59 for 1, $99 for 3, $199 for 25 and $399 for 1000. I bet they dropped the $999 price because clients were dropping the service by the thousands.
Few questions before I purchase Elementor's Expert Plan
1.) Can we sell themes which we made for Elementor Pro on themes selling websites?
2.) What will happen if we keep updating the Elementor Free plugin but do not update the Pro version?
3.) Do elementor give the same license key to all 1000 websites in their expert plan? Or they have a 1000 different keys attached to one single account?
4.) What if a customer who doesn't want to work with us anymore and stops us from accessing their admin panel? How can you disable their license from your end? Do elementor give us a backend where we can check and enable/disable our client's websites licenses if they don't want to pay for it?
5.) Will a major update version of Elementor break the website? I mean if it updates to 4 from 3 what will happen.
I am sure lots of people have these questions in their mind too. Kindly answer them if you can. Thanks. 😗
Hey Gambo,
1) Yes. If you have Elementor Pro you can download templates of what you've created and sell those if you want to.
2) Updating the Elementor Free plugin is more important (because it has more features and updates) than the Pro plugin. So again, this can cause issues, but it doesn't have to be. Wordpress websites do need maintenance, no way around it. That's what you have to tell your clients.
3) No, just 1 key. But the activiation process is pretty smooth. You just login. I actually never use my license key.
4) Yes, you can deactivate any website from your Elementor account. So you don't have to login to Wordpress.
5) My advice is to always wait a few weeks before updating to a big new launch. I also did this when v3.0 came out a few weeks ago. Since then they have already updated the plugin 9 times to fix bugs. So compare this to the new iOS or Android version on your phone. If you wait a few weeks then most of the problems are solved. I didn't have any issues now after the last update and 3.0 was a big new version.
I hope that this will answer most of your doubts. Thanks in advance if you decide to use my affiliate link! Gr Rino
@@rinodeboer Thanks for answering all my questions. Will definitely use your affiliate link to make a purchase. 👍
What do you recommend me to do ... about this ... "my client asks me to design the page for him, I'm going to do it with Elementor pro ... but they want me to send them all the files so they can install them in your own hosting? ... is that possible? can the elementor pro plugin continue to work on your hosting?
I would tell them to install the all in one migration plugin and import it using that.
Hey Rino, you are doing a great job. Cheers.
@LivingWithPixels Hi, can you make some video about finding clients? Some best ways to find client who is intersted to freelaner make a website for client? That will be awesome!
I created a site with the free templates (im a starter) I like to sell it but would it give problems like with updates etc?
4:35 it's ok but what happen if one of your clients that is paying for support discover that you offer the access to updates without any charge for the client that don't want to pay your montly fee, justifying this just because you get revenue from the ones that pay, is this not a little bit unfair for the ones who pay? how do you handle that?
Your argument is valid but since I code from scratch and also use Elementor, coding from scratch is free forever. Of course, the former requires more skill and time.
thank you so much you saved 200$ for me :)
I hope you will record video about subdomain pages soon 😁
I've been using Elementor pro for a bit now, and I've been loving it! I was wondering though, especially in terms of improving site speed, what your thoughts on Oxygen are? Would love to see a comparison video!
Elementor is getting faster. Servers are getting optimized for elementor too. I was thinking about those issues like you. But elemento got faster o the last months. Price for pro unlimited is a little off now.
Awesome to hear Joseph! I've not used Oxygen yet. Is it worth my time? What is your experience?
@@rinodeboer It's pretty nice! UI isn't as nice as Elementor, but it reminds me a bit of Webflow! Site speed is pretty great with it too. I think it'd be worth looking into, especially since it's free!
If I use Elementor Pro and create a custom single post Template for blog posts and my license expire, will it still appear on existing and new blog posts after the expiration? I have a client that is not keen on the annual payment model and I need to make sure the design doesn’t break.
I think it is nothing happen with the visual n function when expired ... You just lose support system n update release .. better use staging site to test the new version
Elementor Pro pumped the prices really good since that video. It's now 999$/year for 1000sites.
Ok so to run a business we need basic programs, yes? Creative cloud subscription and elementor program, domains, hosts, gas, electric bills, internet and food on the table basics a laptop. What are your real numbers? How would we start out without a TH-cam channel income?
One Elementor issue I want to get solution from you..... When we use AdSense or any ads company ads code. Elementor design visual editor not Working and it disappears design on visual editor... Can you tell me about this issue that Why elementor crashes during paste ads code on it......
Your fan from Pakistan
Thank u a lot reno you are my best, my question is " if my client stoped to pay for elementor pro any more, he can change the website with elementor Free plugin and get update for free version ??? that's work or no ?? thank u so mush
Thanks Hassan! Well, if the pro version doesn't work anymore then a lot of features will break (because you've probably used a lot of features of pro in the website). So that means that he can't rebuild the whole website with the free version. So they can get updates for the free version, because that's free, but they won't have access to all the essential / important features which you probably used to build the website.
Love from ❤🇮🇳
Video on Ecommerce. Date revealed
Hello rino 👋, i know this is late but what if they will opt out after 2months? do you uninstall the pro version to their website?❤
Hey! Well, uninstalling doesn't make a difference. You need to disconnect your account so that it doesn't use a license from your accounts anymore. And its up to you if you do that. But yea, if a client doesn't pay then why should you pay for their software?
What if they don't want to pay for the mainenance? What happens in that case. Do you just not build their website with an elementor pro license? Or do you just warn them once you stop working as a free lance web designer that you've been paying for their license and its going to expire ecentually.
What should I do if a client don't want the monthly services but still want me to do the website. What do you do in this situations? 🤔 what do you recommend me to do.
In those cases is better use the free version with plugins, even if leave the site slower.
What will happen if we use nulled plugin i know one website which give almost all plugins for free with updates does this effect our website its gpl
not a good idea . few month before i also had the same thought in my mind but eventually landed on buying elementor pro .
@@arsalanzabeeb6467 why not good idea as we know we already use pirated windows pirated software why not pirated plugins
@@AyushPanditofficial according to my research there were alot of issues with security .
What happens if a customer pays for 1 year of elementor and then stops paying and doesn't pay for like 3 years and then comes back and agrees to pay for 1 year of elementor again?
if I don't update after a year elementor pro paid subscription, 1)what does it mean the feature will not work? 2)if the feature will not work how does it affect my website?
it will. you could purchase elementor pro with the license key at pluginshub.net
Your maintenance plan is only 20 Dollars? You are underselling yourself massively.
Maybe I am, but I'm not here to make a huge profit. I only update plugins and check the websites. I don't want to charge $50 for a simple task like that. Doesn't feel good to me. My profit comes from the website projects themselves.
I see. But what happens if something goes wrong. Example: the Elementor v3 fiasco. Is fixing that all covered in your plan or do you bill that for a hourly fee separately?
@@thomaspeter76 I've updated to Elementor 3 (and up to current version) one more than a handful websites (some with quite a number of other plugins) and I haven't had one single issue related to Elementor while (and after) doing so. So I don't really see any "v3 fiasco“...
I'm doing maintenance like it's been said here as well (including weekly backups, though) and per website that's about 10-15 minutes per week (if nothing out of the way happens - as it may sometimes, though). So I'd think that charging for an hour each month doesn't seem unusual or even unfair. Thus said, I too believe that 20 bucks a month really amounts to sort of underselling yourself.
@@rinodeboer Had same question... But how you manage backup and testing environment? Just clicking update buttons may get the site down (not great for live environment) and also should do testing if everything works correctly. Blog page may work out, but more complex solutions with e-commerce...
Who does host the Website? Me or the Client? Do I make an WordPress account for the client?
Oh--question about Elementor Pro... If I have used all of their free widgets, but used 1 Pro widget...if i stop paying or remove the Pro from that website--will the free widgets continue to update? Only the pro widget will not receive updates, is that right? Ty!
You can always update the free version of the plugin if you want. When you stop paying for pro you just lose the option to edit the pro features.
@@rinodeboer Ahhh okay. Thank you!
In this case does DIVi and advantage over elementor ? Because you can pay the one time fee for a lifetime for $249. I don’t know 🤷🏿♂️
Yes! For pricing Divi is cheaper. But the reason I work with Elementor is because it's just much more solid in terms of workflow. It also has more features. So for me that's worth the money. Especially since I just charge my clients on a monthly basis so that they pay for my subscriptions.
@@rinodeboer thanks for your answer. Please keep up the good work I am learning do much from you. I am starting up my web business and so far you provide the best content in this field.
Goede video! Nederlands?😂
Hello, thanks for this informative video. License for my elementor pro has expired. If I delete elementor pro plugin then is it going to affect website design or functionality.
Thank you as well! Yes, if you deactivate the Pro plugin then the features of pro will go away. But you don’t need to deactivate it. Your website will still work if your license expires, but you just can’t change the website anymore.
@@rinodeboer thanks a lot for your reply. I have one more question. Can elementor Pro plugin without any updates may cause conflict with other plugins later on.
Yes, but this is true for Wordpress in general. So just buying it once and then stop paying isn’t smart. So I think you should just decide whether you think its worth the investment or not. I just let my clients pay for it.
@@rinodeboer ok, thanks a lot for sharing this information 🙏🏻
Today's prices: 1: US$49/y - 1000: US$999/y Too expensive.
This is the main reason why I have a divi lifetime license, unlimited websites and free updates for life
