ECS — Ele Custom Skin — started as one idea: give designers control over loops without touching code. Elementor eventually shipped that natively. We kept going.
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.
Six focused modules that fill the gaps Elementor leaves for designers.
Everything in Free, plus the design-system engine for sites with multiple identities.
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.
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.
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.
A text widget built for editorial content. Float an image left or right, insert before or after, with responsive control per breakpoint.
Elementor Pro’s Nav Menu has great style options — but layout, alignment, pointer and animation are all desktop-only. We made them responsive.
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.
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.
Every module is independent and toggleable. Activate what you use; leave the rest inactive — zero CSS, zero JS, zero weight on your site.
A Look combines a Color Scheme, a Font Scheme, Custom CSS and an Alternative Logo — and activates on any condition you pick. Page type, specific pages, taxonomies, time intervals, seasons.
All seven free modules, no restrictions. Install from WordPress.org.
All Pro modules + one year of updates & priority support.
Pay once. Updates & support for as long as we ship ECS Pro.
