Description
Sekkei is the all-in-one workflow tool designed specifically for Elementor page builders. It integrates directly into the Elementor editor as a sliding side panel, or works as a standalone tool from your WordPress dashboard.
Stop switching between apps and browser tabs – plan, design, and organize everything in one place, right next to your Elementor canvas.
Key Features
Section Planner – Plan your page structure before building. Add sections with names, types (hero/nav/content/CTA/footer/custom), CSS classes, and notes. Drag-and-drop to reorder. Quick template to scaffold common pages.
Design Checklist – Never miss a step. 30+ checklist items across 5 categories: Before Design, Structure, Design, Mobile, and Handover. Add custom items and groups. Track progress with a live progress bar.
Color Palette – Save and organize your brand colors. Group colors by palette (Brand, Dark Mode, etc.). Click any swatch to copy the hex code. Assign roles like Primary, Accent, Background.
Font Pairing – 10 curated font pairings (including Bengali fonts). Filter by style: editorial, modern, minimal, bold. Copy CSS and Google Fonts links. Save custom pairings.
CSS Generator – Generate Elementor-ready custom CSS snippets. 6 presets (Section, Container, Typography, Button, Card, Responsive). Auto-fill from your Section Planner. Save and reuse snippets.
Project Notes – Client feedback, revision history, TODOs all in one place. Quick insert tags for common patterns. Date stamps and structured formatting.
Pre-Publish Audit – Scan your Elementor page for common issues before publishing. Detect placeholder text, broken links, missing image alt tags, and layout hierarchy issues. Locate elements with a single click.
Export – Export your entire project as formatted text or JSON. Download .txt for client handover. JSON backup/import for portability.
Multiple Projects – Manage separate projects with independent data. Switch between projects instantly.

FAQ
-
Does this require Elementor Pro?
-
No! Sekkei works with the free version of Elementor. No Pro API is used.
-
Where is my data saved?
-
All data is saved in your browser’s localStorage. This means it persists across sessions but is specific to the browser you’re using.
-
Can I export my data?
-
Yes! Use the Export tab to download your project as a .txt file for client handover or as JSON for backup/import.
-
Will this slow down my site?
-
No. Sekkei only loads in the Elementor editor and WordPress admin – never on the frontend. Zero impact on site performance.
-
Does Sekkei load anything on my live frontend?
-
No. Sekkei is designed for the WordPress admin and Elementor editor only. It does not add frontend widgets, frontend scripts, or frontend styles to visitor-facing pages.
-
What happens if my browser storage gets corrupted?
-
Sekkei keeps a local recovery backup before saves. If the main local data cannot be loaded, Sekkei attempts to recover from the backup. You can also use Export -> Restore Backup inside the tool.
-
Is JSON import safe?
-
Sekkei validates imported JSON, normalizes project data, limits large imports, and shows an import summary before adding the project.
-
What should I do before publishing an Elementor page?
-
Open Sekkei, review the Section Planner, complete the Design Checklist, run the Pre-Publish Audit, then export your notes or JSON backup for handoff.
-
Does it work with other page builders?
-
Sekkei is designed for Elementor workflows, but the standalone tool (Admin – Open Tool) can be used for planning any website project.
