What is Element UI?
Element UI makes building with Elementor faster and easier. Instead of starting from scratch, you can copy and paste ready-made sections to create a professional website in hours, not days.
Who is this for?
Anyone using Elementor. Whether you’re a beginner, small business owner, freelancer, or agency, Element UI helps you build professional websites quickly and confidently.
Do I need to know how to use Elementor?
No, but the basics help. You only need to open the Elementor editor, paste a component and change its text, images and colors. If you’re new to Elementor, the components are a good way to learn: you can see how real sections are built, with consistent spacing and tablet and mobile layouts already set up.
How do I use this?
Click Copy on a component and wait for “Copied to clipboard.” In the Elementor editor, right-click in an empty container below your existing content and choose “Paste from other site.” Then change the text, images and colors. Copy and paste works in Chrome. Our copy and paste guide has the full steps.
Does Element UI include the latest Elementor features?
Yes. We regularly update the library so all components use the latest Elementor features and follow modern design trends.
Will there be new components and updates?
Yes. We update the library regularly with new components, and new website templates are added too. Pro includes every component and three V3 website templates: Eradica, ZenPay and Insura. All other templates, including new V3 and V4 templates, are sold separately as one-time purchases.
How does support work?
Start with our guides, which cover copying and pasting, the V4 components, the CMS components and installing a website template. The support page has troubleshooting help, such as fixing paste errors. If you still need a hand, email us at hello@elementuikit.com.
How much development time can I save using Element UI in my projects?
Our users report significant time savings and estimate that using Element UI in a 5-6 page website project can save up to 12 hours of development time!
Components
From copy and paste to customization, explore questions about our pre-built Elementor components.
How do I copy and paste a component?
Open the component’s page, click Copy and wait for “Copied to clipboard.” In the Elementor editor, right-click in an empty container below your existing content and choose “Paste from other site.” Copy and paste works in Chrome and needs Elementor 3.11 or higher, with Flexbox containers enabled for V3 components or the atomic editor for V4. The step-by-step guide covers troubleshooting.
What's the difference between V3 and V4 components?
V3 components are built for classic Elementor, with Flexbox containers and widgets. V4 components are built for Elementor V4’s atomic elements and use local styles only, so they paste without adding global classes or variables to your site. You can keep the local styles or connect your own variables and classes. The free components include both V3 and V4.
What does “lightly styled” mean?
“Lightly styled” means each component focuses on structure, layout and spacing rather than a finished brand look, so it’s ready for your own fonts, colors and images. Most styles are set on the component itself, so after pasting you change the fonts and colors in Elementor to match your brand. Every component is already responsive on desktop, tablet and mobile.
Can I request a component?
Yes. If you can’t find the section you need, email hello@elementuikit.com and tell us what you’re looking for. You can also see what’s planned on the roadmap.
CMS components
Find out how you can use CMS components.
What are CMS Components?
CMS Components are dynamic Elementor sections that pull content automatically from your site. Blog components use native WordPress posts, and the Careers components use a custom post type with custom fields from ACF. Everything updates automatically as you add new content.
Do I need any extra plugins?
Blog components work out of the box with Elementor Pro and the Loop Grid widget. The Careers components also use the free ACF plugin, and it’s quick to set up: the Careers guide includes a file you import into ACF in one click, which creates the Careers post type and all its fields.
What's included in each CMS category?
Each CMS category comes with loop template, archive layout and single post template components, so you get the full system, not just one piece. Custom post types other than blog, such as Careers, also include the ACF field group JSON, ready to import.
Can I customize the fields and layout?
Absolutely. The Elementor templates work like any other section. Change colors, rearrange elements, and adjust the layout to match your project. For components that use ACF, the fields are fully editable too.
Will CMS Components work with my existing theme?
Yes. They use Elementor’s native Loop Grid and standard WordPress functionality, so they work with any theme that supports Elementor. No theme-specific dependencies.
Code components
Find out how you can add advanced interactions and animations to your Elementor website.
What are Code Components?
Code components are sections with a small amount of custom CSS, and sometimes JavaScript, built in to add an effect or interaction: cursor and hover effects, marquees, text effects and motion. You get the effect without writing the code yourself. They’re included in Pro.
How do I add a code component to my site?
The same way as any other component. Click Copy on the component page, then use “Paste from other site” in the Elementor editor. The CSS comes with the paste in the element’s Custom CSS, an Elementor Pro feature, so code components need Elementor Pro. Any JavaScript runs from an HTML widget inside the component, so don’t delete that widget. Pro members can also view and copy the code on the component page. The one exception is Smooth entrance animations, a CSS snippet you add once, site wide.
Do I need coding experience?
No. The code is already inside the component, so you paste it like any other section and change the text, images and colors in Elementor. Each component page has a short note on where the code lives, and many components have comments in the code that point to the values you can change.
Will code components slow down my site?
Code components are built to stay light. Most are a short block of CSS, a few add a small script, and none load external libraries. The code lives inside the component, so it only loads on pages where you use it. The exception is Smooth entrance animations, which you add site wide on purpose.
Can I customize a code component?
Yes. Change the text, images and colors in Elementor like any other component. To change the effect itself, edit the values in the element’s Custom CSS or its HTML widget. Many code components have comments in the code pointing to what to change, such as colors, spacing and speed.
Website templates
Find out what comes in a website template, what you need to import one and how you can use it.
What's included in a website template?
Each template is a complete Elementor kit (.zip) of a finished website: every page, its templates and the site settings, with colors, fonts and button styles already set up. The images and text are placeholders for you to keep or replace with your own. Change the global colors and fonts in Elementor’s Site Settings and every page updates to match your brand.
What do I need to use a template?
Element UI Pro for Eradica, ZenPay or Insura, or a one-time purchase for any other template, and a WordPress site running the latest versions of Elementor and Elementor Pro (the templates use its header and footer builder and forms), with Flexbox containers active. The free Hello Elementor theme is recommended. You import the .zip through Elementor’s Website Templates tool, and the install guides for V3 templates and V4 templates walk through each step.
Can I customize the design and content?
Can I use templates on client websites?
Yes. Eradica, ZenPay and Insura, and any template you buy, can be used on as many websites as you like, for personal or client projects, and customized however you want. What you can’t do is resell, redistribute or share a template, in its original or modified form. The full terms are in the license.
Pro
Learn about Element UI Pro, what’s included, and how to manage your account.
What's included in Pro?
Pro unlocks every component in the library, including CMS Components (blog and careers) and Code Components (custom CSS and JavaScript interactions), plus three V3 website templates: Eradica, ZenPay and Insura. Build a site section by section, or start from a complete template.
Is there a monthly plan?
Yes. Pro is billed monthly or yearly, and you can cancel anytime. See both options on the Pro page.
Can I try before I buy?
Yes. Create a free account and you can copy and paste over 50 free components straight away. They copy and paste exactly the same way as Pro components, so you’ll know what to expect. The free components include both V3 and V4.
How do I manage my subscription?
Go to your manage account page and click Manage Billing. That opens the Stripe customer portal, where you can update your payment method, view invoices, or manage or cancel your subscription.
Do existing Pro subscribers get Eradica, ZenPay and Insura?
What happens if I cancel?
You’ll keep Pro access until the end of your current billing period. After that, your account reverts to the free tier and Pro content will be locked again.
