My current WordPress site is built with Elementor, but I want to strip that dependency entirely and recreate everything with core Gutenberg (standard) blocks while keeping the design exactly as visitors see it today. What has to look and work the same: • Homepage • Product pages • Contact page Please clone homepage, keeping to the same layer and design as much as possible , migrate any Elementor widgets into native blocks, remove leftover shortcodes, and tidy the underlying CSS so the theme stays lean and fast. All existing URLs, menus, forms, and product data must remain untouched; I only want the front-end construction method changed. I’ll consider the job complete when the Elementor plugin can be deactivated and deleted without breaking layout or functionality, load times are good, the return to WordPress standard editing of pages is implemented, and I can edit any section with Gutenberg alone. If custom CSS or a very light utility plugin is required, include clear comments and a short hand-off note so I can maintain it going forward. I want to maintain the homepage and I want to maintain the ability to edit this myself, along with a product page

Rebuilding an Elementor-based site so it looks the same after Elementor is removed is really about avoiding hidden breakpoints in templates, widgets, and page-level CSS. I’d approach this by recreating the homepage, product page structure, and contact page with Gutenberg-compatible blocks first, then cleaning shortcode leftovers and isolating only the CSS that is still genuinely needed. I’ve handled WordPress cleanups where clients wanted to get back to standard editing instead of staying locked into a builder, including WooCommerce layouts and contact-form preservation. The key is not just matching the front end, but making sure the backend stays editable for you afterward without plugin dependency. A short handoff note is fine from my side as well. - Is your product page using the default WooCommerce single-product template, or has Elementor been used inside the product layout too? - Which contact form plugin is currently active on the site? - Can you share the homepage URL so I can judge how much custom CSS/block structuring will be needed?

Hello, We can rebuild your WordPress site without Elementor while preserving the current visual design, URLs, content, and functionality. Our approach: • Audit the existing Elementor pages, widgets, theme styles, menus, forms, and product templates. • Recreate the homepage, product pages, and contact page using native Gutenberg blocks. • Replace Elementor widgets and dependencies with standard blocks or lightweight custom solutions where required. • Preserve all existing URLs, product data, menus, forms, and frontend behavior. • Clean up unused Elementor CSS, shortcodes, and unnecessary styling to keep the site lean. • Organize Gutenberg sections so you can easily edit text, images, layouts, and product content yourself. • Add only minimal, well-commented custom CSS where exact visual matching requires it. • Test the site with Elementor disabled before removal, including responsive layouts, forms, product pages, navigation, and performance. • Provide a short handover explaining how to maintain the homepage and product pages using Gutenberg.

The main challenge here is keeping the site visually identical while changing the construction method underneath, because Elementor often leaves behind widget markup, inline styling, and shortcode residue. I’d rebuild the affected areas in native Gutenberg-friendly structure, preserve your menus/forms/product data exactly as they are, and trim the CSS so the site stays lighter once Elementor is gone. I work on WordPress rebuilds and theme refinements regularly, including cases where clients want full control through the default editor again instead of a page builder. For this kind of job, careful comparison against the live front end matters more than rushing, especially on the homepage and WooCommerce product presentation. I can also leave the custom CSS clearly commented so future edits are easier. - Are we talking about one product page template for all products, or a few individually designed product pages? - Is the current theme block-friendly already, or does it rely heavily on Elementor for layout sections? - Do you want me to remove Elementor completely at the end, or leave that final deactivation for your review first?

You are absolutely right Elementor is very bloated with un-necessary code and it's heavy on sites. Instead of Gutenberg I will suggest Bricks as it's way faster and lighter than Elementor. I recently revamped a website and there speed was 45 on test and it reached 85+. Please share your website URL so I can check all the pages and give you timeline

Hey Mate, Please message me your website url. It sounds like you want to move away from Elementor while keeping the current design intact, which is a great way to streamline your site’s performance. Transitioning everything to core Gutenberg blocks while maintaining the existing look and feel is a task I'm well-prepared to tackle. I’ll start by focusing on the homepage, duplicating its structure using Gutenberg, and ensuring all Elementor elements are converted into native blocks. Tidying up the CSS will also be a priority to ensure your site remains fast and responsive. I understand the importance of keeping all URLs, menus, and forms intact, so I'll make sure those stay untouched. An initial step we could take is to convert just a section of your homepage into Gutenberg blocks. This way, you can see how it performs and feels before proceeding with the whole site. Thanks, Prakhar

Hi, I can rebuild your existing Elementor-based WordPress site using native Gutenberg blocks while keeping the current visual design, layout, URLs, menus, forms, and product data intact. I would recreate the homepage and product page structure with editable Gutenberg blocks, replace Elementor widgets and shortcodes, and clean up the CSS so the site remains lightweight and fast. The key focus will be maintainability: once complete, you will be able to deactivate and remove Elementor and continue editing the homepage and product pages yourself directly through the standard WordPress editor. I will also test the contact page, products, responsive layouts, and existing functionality before handover. **I can take the existing design as the reference and rebuild it cleanly without forcing you to sacrifice the look or your ability to manage the site yourself.** Thank you
