14 custom widgets, 31 ready-made templates, free on WordPress.org.
What is Elemance?
Elemance is a free WordPress plugin that adds 14 custom widgets (Pricing Table, FAQ/Accordion, Countdown Timer, Team Member, Glass Card, and more) and 31 pre-built section templates to the Elementor page builder, plus a built-in Header/Footer Builder and Popup Builder — all manageable from a single dashboard.
Most Elementor addon plugins ship 50+ widgets you'll never use, all loading on every page whether enabled or not. Elemance takes the opposite approach: a focused set of 14 widgets that fill real gaps in Elementor's own widget set (there's no native Pricing Table, FAQ Accordion with schema, or Countdown Timer), each with a full control set — not a bare-minimum stub — and a Widget Manager that lets you switch off anything you're not using so its code doesn't load at all.
Features
14 Widgets — Marquee, Flip Card, Counter, Animated Heading, Skill Bar, Glass Card, Hotspot Image, Before/After, Dual Heading, Pricing Table, FAQ/Accordion (with auto FAQPage schema), Countdown Timer, Team Member, Buttons (including a Border Glow animated variant)
31 Templates — ready-to-insert sections: headers, footers, hero, about, services, testimonials, pricing, FAQ, team, stats, and more
Header & Footer Builder — build a custom header/footer without a separate theme builder plugin
Popup Builder — delay, scroll, exit-intent, or click-triggered popups with frequency control
Setup Wizard — first-run wizard detects your theme and lets you enable only the widgets you need
Widget Manager — toggle any widget on/off anytime from the dashboard — disabled widgets load zero PHP/CSS/JS
Common Problems It Solves
Elementor doesn't have a native Pricing Table/FAQ Accordion/Countdown Timer.
Correct — these are common section types nearly every site needs, but Elementor's own free widget set doesn't include them. Elemance adds all three with full styling control.
My addon plugin has 50+ widgets and my site got slower after installing it.
The Widget Manager toggles each of the 14 widgets independently — anything switched off loads zero PHP/CSS/JS, so you're never paying a performance cost for widgets you don't use.
I need a custom header/footer but don't want a separate theme-builder plugin.
The built-in Header/Footer Builder covers this without adding another plugin dependency.
Popup plugins I've tried are either bloated or paid-only for basic triggers.
The built-in Popup Builder supports delay, scroll, exit-intent, and click triggers with frequency control, free.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Elemance slow down my site?
No — every widget's assets are conditionally loaded only when enabled and only when used on a page, via the Widget Manager.
Do I need Elementor Pro?
No — Elemance works with the free version of Elementor.
Is there a paid version?
A Pro tier with additional widgets is planned but not yet released — everything currently available is free.
Does the FAQ/Accordion widget include schema markup?
Yes — it automatically outputs FAQPage schema, the same structured data Google/AI engines use to generate FAQ rich results.
Can I disable widgets I'm not using?
Yes, anytime, from Elemance → Widgets in the dashboard — not just during initial setup.
Is Elemance actively maintained?
Yes — it's used on Dotance's own site (this one) and client projects, so it's maintained as core infrastructure, not a side project.
