“For the most part, Essential Addons has removed the stress of coding and syntax when it comes to building pages now. I can focus on looks, colors, and placement rather than lines of CSS, HTML, and Java hoping it works properly and troubleshooting. It is a true lifesaver.”
Consistent Web Design with Limited Coding & Time
Michael Slater, Partner & Web Designer at SK-America, started web designing back in the ’90s. After a long break, he started again and switched towards more design rather than coding. However, he needed to adapt to new technologies, including WordPress CMS and web design with page builders like Elementor. On top of that, maintaining consistency and a standard design flow was necessary to handle multiple university website redesigns and guarantee a seamless user experience.
Elementor alone was not enough for his web design needs. He needed more widgets, and complex coding solutions were not feasible for Michael as a single developer facing these challenges. So, he was looking for something that could create a design workflow standard and add custom functionality without coding.
I was having difficulty creating new elements to function and look the way I wanted without having to relearn current code. Given that I had a massive amount of websites to deal with and was the only one working on them, I had problems with consistency, meeting every specific request, and there was no standard to work with.– Michael Slater

Create Custom Functionality without Coding:
Essential Addons eliminated the need for extensive coding, allowing Michael to focus on the design and user experience of 500+ web pages.

The consistent interface and comprehensive features ensured a uniform design language across all university websites that Michael and his team created.

A Few of the Websites Designed by SK-America
with Essential Addons
“When starting as a new Web designer or builder or even advanced builder, Essential Addons is the pack I would use. Because it not only has more than enough elements to help build a beautiful and for the most part fast website but also enough to provide how web design works. It comes with proper code and helps to spark new and fresh ideas with design instead of focusing on troubleshooting to make it work properly”
