ElementsKit for Elementor: Custom Headers, Mega Menus & Website Layouts
In a nutshell
Here’s the thing about ElementsKit: it’s an add-on for Elementor that IPSense usually turns to when a client’s website needs a bit more than what Elementor offers right out of the box. Stuff like creating custom headers and footers, putting together a solid mega menu for a big product range, and adding helpful widgets like tabs, pricing tables, and advanced sliders. What I’ve found is that it’s pretty popular too, with over a million active installs and a 4.9 rating on WordPress.org. We have a lifetime Pro license and use it regularly for our client projects.

What is ElementsKit?
Elementor handles page layouts pretty well, but from my experience, business sites often want more. A header that changes when you scroll, a footer that’s different for the blog versus the shop, or a mega menu that can display 40 product categories without overwhelming visitors—those aren’t things Elementor usually does out of the box. That’s where ElementsKit steps in.
It’s updated regularly, and even the free version includes some handy features like the header/footer builder and mega menu, plus 50+ widgets. The Pro version adds more tools like data tables, charts, timelines, popups, sticky elements, conditional content, and even lets you copy sections between different sites, which is a real time-saver if you’re managing multiple websites.
What ElementsKit can do
Header and footer builder
Build headers and footers that show up site-wide, and pick where they appear. It also has sticky and off-canvas options for mobile.
Mega menu builder
Make mega menus with multiple columns, including images, icons and descriptions. This is particularly helpful for manufacturers or distributors with a large product range.
Large widget library
Choose from tabs, accordions, pricing tables, sliders, testimonials and other widgets, so you often won’t need another add-on.
Cross-domain copy and paste
With Pro, you can copy finished sections from one site to another, speeding up work across multiple websites.
How IPSense uses ElementsKit
At IPSense, we mostly use ElementsKit for the bits visitors interact with first: the header, the mega menu, and the footer. Especially for clients with lots of products, a well-organized mega menu often improves navigation and internal linking more than simply redesigning the homepage.
- Map out the site structure and figure out what belongs in the main navigation.
- Build the header, mega menu, and footer once, including mobile versions, then set conditions for where they appear.
- Run checks on site speed and accessibility, and hand over a simple guide so clients can safely edit their menus.
Where ElementsKit shines, and what to plan for
Where it shines
- Even the free version has useful header, footer, and mega menu builders.
- It’s widely used and updated regularly.
- It can replace several single-purpose plugins, keeping things simpler.
- The Pro modules save time, especially when managing multiple sites.
What to plan for
- Loading lots of widgets you don’t use can slow things down, so turn off unused modules.
- It adds another layer over Elementor, so you’ll need to keep it updated.
- If you already have Elementor Pro, some features might overlap.
Is ElementsKit right for your business?
A good fit if…
- Your site is built with Elementor and needs custom headers, footers, or mega menus.
- You have a large product or service catalog.
- You want to keep plugin numbers low and let one tool do more.
We reach for another tool when…
- You already use Elementor Pro’s Theme Builder and only need a few extra widgets.
- Your site uses the WordPress block editor rather than Elementor.
- Your store needs WooCommerce-specific templates, where ShopLentor may be a better fit.
