Elementor has brought a revolution to WordPress website design. Something so big that has drawn more than 10 million active installations in just six years of existence. The number translates to roughly 7% of the world wide web.

The rise and rise of Elementor also built opportunities for hundreds of companies to bring add-ons to their users. These addon plugins mostly extend the available features of Elementor. Stratum Addon is one such plugin.

Stratum is developed by MotoPress, the same company behind the popular Getwid Gutenberg Addons.

The best thing about the addon is that it did not try to reinvent the wheel. Instead, it created 20+ widgets that are truly useful for designing an Elementor-powered website.
