Custom Elementor Widget: How to create one without any coding knowledge

What is a Widget?

A widget is a tiny graphical user interface (GUI) program that is used to do a specified activity. A widget is an element of your website, such as a button, check box, search box, map, clock, visits counter, and so on.

Widgets are additions that come in a smaller form with a restricted user interface.

As an example, consider the Elementor page builder. This page builder has a variety of built-in widgets. You may use any of these to create your website.

If necessary, you may even develop a custom Elementor widget. And the ElementsKit widget builder will help you to do that.
