Why Should I Use the Image Accordion & Image Hotspot Widgets?

If you love everything about Elementor (at least, you are using it to build one or multiple websites), you already know how widgets work and what customization options to expect. Stratum is fully integrated with the page builder meaning it will not seem something odd or third-party. Moreover, the addon works awesome with EVERY Elementor theme or plugin. It will not slow down your website speed because of its clean code.

But most importantly, you will not see any close alternative to the Image Hotspot and the Image Accordion in the collection of Elementor widgets – neither in Elementor Pro, nor in the Basic plugin set. Both widgets are unique and provide you with all tools needed to create interactive content fast and easily.

  • Additional information about a certain item;
  • Step-by-step guides (for a device, item, or any kind);
  • Price tags for different products;
  • Use hotspots for learning platforms (click the image to see the explanation/translation/description);
  • … and many more.
Content Settings

Your customization of the image hotspot starts with filling in the following content:

  • Image

There you can choose a different image size out of several choices and turn on/off the image animation.

  • Hotspots

Now you can change the content of each hotspot, in particular, you’ll see 3 tabs for different customization content.

In the content area, you can alter the icon style from hundreds of different options (you can search by word).

The position area lets you set up the exact placement of the icon.

Finally, in the tooltip area, you may add title & description for your tooltip, as well as set up its placement, theme, animation, interactivity, etc.

  1. I wonder if it would be possible to add color effects to individual hotspot icons? Color can be applied to all the floating icons associated with a single image, but I have a need for individual style of each hotspot and/or coloring the popup theme of the Tooltip.

    1. Hi Dave, As for the hotspot so you can chnage the color of the icon and of its background. As for tooltip so there are availabe predefined thms that can be used. There is no option to set custom color for the tooltip except applying custom CSS.
