MerKit Theme Builder and Template Library for Elementor
v1.1.0 · by Hoja
Theme Builder and Template Library for Elementor. Build headers, footers, and page sections -- no Elementor Pro needed.
About this plugin
MerKit gives you a full Theme Builder and a growing Template Library for Elementor — completely free, forever. Import a complete landing page in one click, or pick individual sections, headers and footers.
Key Features
Theme Builder (no Pro required)
- Build custom Headers and Footers with Elementor’s drag-and-drop editor
- Flexible display conditions: show templates site-wide, on specific pages, post types, archives, or the 404 page
- Works with any theme that supports standard WordPress hooks
- Hello Elementor theme location support built-in
Free Template Library
- 48 instant-import premade templates across 15 categories — headers, footers, heroes, logo strips, feature grids, how-it-works, stats, stories, work galleries, menus, testimonials, pricing, FAQs, contact/hours and CTA banners
- Three complete demo landing pages (Nimbus SaaS, Atelier Norr studio, Harvest & Oak restaurant) plus the MerKit Demos hub — every section importable on its own, filterable by brand
- Templates carry the Global Colors and Global Fonts they use — missing ones are created in Site Settings on import, so sections look right on any site
- Import a complete demo landing page in one click — every section in order, plus its header and footer assigned to that page, created as a draft for you to review
- Template images are copied into your Media Library on import, so nothing is hotlinked and every image is editable on your site
- All templates use the modern Elementor Container (flexbox) system and are fully responsive
- Fully editable after import — nothing is locked
- New templates added with each release
Bundled Widgets
- Nav Menu — dropdown-ready navigation widget, no Pro required
- Site Logo — displays your custom logo or site name as a fallback
Requirements
- WordPress 6.0+
- Elementor (free) 3.10+
- PHP 7.4+
External services
When you import a bundled template or demo page, the plugin downloads that template’s demo images from https://demos.merkiting.com (a site operated by the plugin author) into your Media Library. This happens only during an import you start in wp-admin; nothing is requested on the front end of your site, and no information about your site or visitors is sent. If a download fails, the template keeps the original image URL instead.
Compatibility
- Works with Elementor free — Elementor Pro is NOT required
- Uses the modern Flexbox Container layout system (Elementor 3.6+)
- Tested with Hello Elementor, Astra, GeneratePress, OceanWP, and Blocksy
