I have a question regarding layout structure in WordPress Elementor.
In my team, my seniors recommend continuing to use Sections and Columns, stating that sections provide better responsiveness. Their main reasoning is that the existing website has been built using sections for a long time, so we should maintain consistency and continue using the same approach for new pages.
However, after researching Elementor’s recent updates and documentation, I found that Containers (Flexbox) are officially recommended by Elementor and are generally considered more efficient and responsive compared to sections. Containers also seem to offer better performance, cleaner structure, and more control over responsive layouts.
My question is:
From a technical and best-practice perspective, are Containers actually better than Sections for responsiveness and performance?
Is there any valid technical disadvantage in using containers for new pages, even if older pages are built with sections?
Or is sticking to sections purely a legacy/consistency decision rather than a responsiveness limitation?
I would appreciate insights from experienced Elementor users or developers who have worked with both approaches.
Thank you.
