Introduction
Are you a web designer looking to enhance your website-building toolkit? Elementor Pro has just released its latest beta version, Elementor 3.17, packed with exciting features. Ajax Features for Seamless Web Design and exciting features to take your web design skills to the next level. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the key highlights of this update, so you can harness its full potential for your web design projects.
Ajax Features for Seamless Web Design
One of the standout features of Elementor 3.17 beta is its enhanced support for Ajax. With this feature, you can now create widgets and sections that load without refreshing the entire page. This means smoother, more dynamic user experiences for your site visitors.
Creating an Ajax Loop Grid
To demonstrate the power of this update, let’s dive into one of its key components: the Ajax Loop Grid.
- Start by selecting a Plexbox container and choosing the column direction.
- Add a Loop Grid widget and create a template.
- Customize your design by adding a featured image, post title, post info (with the option to choose date only), and a text editor.
- Polish your design with a stylish button.
The most significant improvement here is in the way pages are navigated. With the “Ajax” setting, you’ll notice that only the grid changes when you navigate between pages, not the entire page. This translates to a significant reduction in page loading time, making your website feel more responsive and user-friendly.
New Rating Widget
The new Rating Widget is another noteworthy addition to Elementor 3.17. It offers web designers more flexibility than ever before.
- Drag and drop the Rating Widget onto your canvas.
- Unlike the old version that limited you to a 0-5 or 0-10 rating scale, the new widget allows you to choose a scale from 0 to any number that suits your needs. This empowers you to align your ratings with your specific content and design preferences.
- Choose from a variety of icons, including uploading SVG files or selecting icons from the library. Your rating widget just got a style upgrade!
Accordion Improvements
Elementor’s Accordion widget has been enhanced to offer more versatility.
- Add an Accordion Widget to your design.
- Now, you have the power to include multiple templates within a single accordion, thanks to the nested capabilities. This opens the door to creative layout possibilities, as you can place widgets inside accordion items.
Enhanced SEO Capabilities
Web design isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s also about making sure your content gets noticed. Elementor 3.17 enhances your SEO capabilities to help your website rank higher in search engine results, bringing more visibility to your work.
