◆ Dudaster Studio · Est. 2019 · Plugin 01 — ECS

The plugin Elementor learned from.

ECS — Ele Custom Skin — started as one idea: give designers control over loops without touching code. Elementor eventually shipped that natively. We kept going.

◆ Our story

Built on what Elementor learned from us.

ECS launched in 2019 to solve a single gap in Elementor: there was no way to design what a Post or Archive loop item looked like without writing PHP. We gave designers a template-driven answer. Thousands of sites adopted it.

Everything the original ECS pioneered is now part of Elementor’s own feature set.

We could have stopped there. Instead, we kept going. The new ECS isn’t about patching gaps that Elementor will eventually fill. It’s about flexibility Elementor has chosen not to provide — deeper control over design systems, layout logic, and content presentation.

ECS is our first plugin. It won't be our last.

◆ Free modules

Seven tools you'll use every project.

Every free module was built to solve something we kept running into on client work. No bloat, no abandoned features — just the pieces you actually reach for.

Free

Dark mode without the hassle.

Elementor’s global colors are single-value. Dark Mode Colours gives every global color a second value — its dark counterpart — without duplicating your design system.

Containers with layout logic.

Flexbox and Grid weren’t enough for the layouts designers wanted. Custom Layout lets you design a template with placeholder widgets — ECS distributes children into them at render time.

Writing that flows around images.

A text widget built for editorial content. Float an image left or right, insert before or after, with responsive control per breakpoint.

Nav menu that adapts.

Elementor Pro’s Nav Menu has great style options — but layout, alignment, pointer and animation are all desktop-only. We made them responsive.

Edit repeaters at the speed of paste.

Every Elementor repeater — Icon Lists, Slides, Social Icons, Nav Menu items — gets an Edit JSON button. Open the raw data, paste from a spreadsheet, restructure twenty items at once, apply.

Style once. Link everywhere.

Save the complete style of any widget as a named preset. Apply it — or link it, so changes to the preset propagate to every linked widget instantly.
