Visual headers and footers without Elementor Pro
The free Header & Footer Builder lets you create and control site headers and footers inside Elementor. Its drag-and-drop editor supports site-wide layouts or different designs for selected pages and posts, making it useful when a site needs tailored navigation without Elementor Pro’s Theme Builder.
A Before Footer area provides space for a site-wide call to action. UAE supports popular themes and includes fallback methods for others, giving site owners another way to handle theme differences.
Free widgets for content, navigation and WooCommerce
The free widgets cover common content, site-navigation, and store-layout needs.
- Basic Posts: Display recent posts with layout and styling options, useful for blog and content pages.
- Navigation Menu: Build responsive menus for site headers and other page areas.
- Search and Breadcrumbs: Add search access and page-location cues to improve navigation.
- Post Duplicator: Copy posts, pages, headers, footers, or custom blocks to speed up repeated layout work.
- Woo Product Grid and Cart: Showcase products and add a cart preview to store pages.
- Site identity and content tools: Site Logo, Site Title, Page Title, Post Info, Info Card, and other widgets help assemble page and footer sections.
What UAE Pro adds to the design workflow
UAE Pro expands the design library and adds tools for moving and controlling layouts. It includes 50+ premium widgets and 200+ templates and section blocks, which can help agencies and site owners build pages from ready-made components.
Cross-Site Copy-Paste moves Elementor sections and widgets between sites, while Advanced Display Conditions provides more control over where designs appear. Pro also adds form stylers, particle backgrounds, and WooCommerce widgets including products, checkout, mini cart, categories, and add-to-cart. These additions are most relevant when the free widgets no longer cover a site’s design or store requirements.
A broad feature set with support follow-through to weigh
UAE has broad adoption and an excellent rating, alongside a recent update; its support figures are more mixed.
- Adoption and rating: It is among the directory’s most widely installed plugins and has an excellent rating with many reviews, a strong signal of broad use and positive reception.
- Freshness: Updated within the last week, indicating recent maintenance.
- Support: 2 of 4 threads were resolved, so the small support sample shows room for more consistent follow-through.
- Assessment: UAE suits Elementor users who want free header and footer design plus content and store widgets in one package. Pro is worth considering for its expanded templates and workflow tools; check that its premium features match the layouts and WooCommerce controls your site actually needs.
