Widgets for SiteOrigin

Flexible Combinations

While our widgets are simple enough to use individually Echelon is unique as all our widgets are designed to be combined together. Combine Loops with Sliders and Filters, Overlays with Light Boxes, Modals with Galleries, Off Canvas with Menus the possibilities are endless, flexible and intuitive.

Reuse Your Content

Building on the global nature of Echelon we have included a build it once and reuse it system called Echelon Layouts. They provide an area in the WordPress administration (Admin > Echelon Layouts) to store and organize layouts along with a dedicated widget (Reuse Layout) for displaying the content anywhere on your website. If you update the content in the Echelon Layout it will update in all areas you have it displayed.

Highly Interactive

UIkit has a large array of front end Animations and Transitions available, as such Echelon is by default a highly interactive front-end right out of the box. We didn’t stop there though, alongside the baked in interactivity we have included two specific interaction features. The Animate feature will add entrance animations to any widget, row or cell, while the Hover Transition feature with add transition animations to widgets when hovered or focused. You can also trigger Transitions on widgets when using them inside the Slider widget and in loads of other places across the plugin.

Better Positioning

If you have ever tried to layout widgets horizontally without using columns or a tried to add a dynamic label to a widget you will know its not easy to position elements with Page Builder. UIkit has a plethora of positioning options so theres no reason Page Builder can’t use them as well. From absolute and relative positioning to responsive flex box options Echelon can better position your widgets than ever before.

Responsive Visibility

Sometimes its just not possible to have desktop layouts degrade properly and a dedicated replacement section is needed. Echelon provides a simple Visibility feature to hide widgets rows or cells from certain sized screens. Choose if an element should be displayed on mobiles, tablets, desktops or any combination of the three.

Background Images

Unfortunately SiteOrigin’s background image features are lackluster and minimal, Echelon supercharges backgrounds with some key features sadly missing in the Page Builder core. Choose which image size to use for the background, position the background image, blend the background image with the background color and disable the image responsively are just some of the awesome background image features available with Echelon.

Custom Color Palette

You know those little color squares displayed under the various color pickers? Thats the Color Palette. Would be great if you could set those to colors of your choosing, now you do just that by going to Appearance > Customise > Echelon > Custom Palette.
