// EDITOR'S TAKE

None of these are WordPress plugins, so replacing Elementor means changing platform: vvveb-cms stays nearest to the PHP hosting you already have, and frappe-builder offers a similar visual builder plus CMS package. WebStudio is the stronger visual editor if you will leave PHP behind, and Silex suits static marketing sites with no database at all.
