Why I Use ACF with Elementor in Most Projects
As a WordPress developer, I’m always looking for the sweet spot between flexibility and performance. Using ACF with Elementor lets me build custom layouts that are both dynamic and lightweight. It’s one of my favorite combos when a site needs complex content and easy editing.
My Typical ACF + Elementor Workflow
When I start a new project, I usually build custom post types and fields with ACF. Then, I use Elementor’s dynamic tags to display those fields exactly where I want—no messy shortcodes or bloated plugins.
For example, I’ve built:
- Team member grids that pull job titles and bios from ACF
- Custom service pages with icons, FAQs, and pricing tables powered by ACF
- Landing pages where the content is editable without touching the design
Benefits of Using ACF with Elementor
- Client Control: Clients can easily update text, images, or data fields without breaking the layout.
- Cleaner Design: I avoid stuffing everything into one page. ACF keeps content separate from design.
- Faster Performance: With fewer plugins and tighter integration, sites load faster and run smoother.
Who Should Use ACF + Elementor?
If you’re building sites for clients who need structure, flexibility, and performance—this combo is gold. It’s ideal for agencies, startups, and anyone who wants clean admin panels and clean code. I use it on most of the sites I build and it’s amazing.
