Create templates for faster website building

Last Update: May 21, 2025

Note
In the WordPress/Elementor template can mean two different things:

  1. Site parts that are used throughout an individual site. This includes Headers, Footer, Single Page templates and Single Post templates. This kind of template is created and edited using the Theme Builder. 
  2. Predesigned containers and pages that you can add to pages and customize. These are imported from the Template Library. This article refers to these types of templates.

For web creators, designing their elements and reusing them are an essential part of building a successful business. In order to make this process as efficient as possible, Elementor allows you to build pages and containers and then reuse them in any other site you create.
