Elementor is a multipurpose page builder plugin. Meaning that you can use it to create any type of website, including an online magazine. However, since Elementor is not designed specifically to create online magazines like tagDiv Composer, it takes extra effort to design the layout if you want to create an online magazine with it.
If you don’t want to be bother, you can use a template kit for your online magazine. We have curated the Elementor template kits to create an online magazine.
Typically, an online magazine has a grid section on its homepage to display articles based on certain criteria. Elementor has no default widget to create this sort of section. If you need one, you can use JetBlog — an Elementor add-on designed specifically for online magazines. We have a separate article that covers how to create an online magazine homepage in case you are interested.
