Want to create stylish feature boxes with Elementor? Let’s get started!
Method 1: Single Tile and Call To Action (3 Simple Steps)
First, let’s aim to create a feature box with Elementor, similar to the one below.
Step 1: Create a New Page and Edit With Elementor
Navigate to Pages > Add New and name your page.
Then click on Edit with Elementor.
Step 2: Create a Two-column Layout Structure
Click on the Add New Section icon and then select a two-column layout structure.
Add some text and maybe a call to action button in one of the columns.
For instance, I’ve included a heading, text, and a button.
Next, add an image element to the other column and insert an image.
Step 3: Add a Shape Divider
Elementor makes it super easy to add various shape dividers to your sections. Not to mention, it enhances the design aspect of your feature box.
To add a shape divider, select the entire section.
You’ll find the settings associated with the section on the left-hand side.
Select the Style tab. Then, scroll down to the Shape Divider tab.
You can now select a shape divider of your choice for either the top or bottom of your section.
Play around with the options, such as color, width, and height and create a shape divider.
You can do the same for the bottom bit of your section too.
Once done, click the Publish/Update button to save your changes.
And that’s how simple it is to create stylish feature boxes with Elementor!
Method 2: Multiple Tiles and Calls To Actions
Next, let’s aim to create feature boxes, as shown below, where the text and relevant call to action buttons are placed by each image.
Step 1: Create a Three-column Layout Structure
I assume you’ve completed the first step of creating a new page and then clicking on the Edit with Elementor button.
Now, click on the Add New Section icon and select the three-column layout structure.
Step 2: Add Content and a Background Image
In one of the columns, let’s add a heading, text, and a call to action button.
Once that’s done, click on the particular column settings and select the Style tab.
Under Background, select an image.
You can position the background image according to your requirements by selecting an option from the Position drop-down menu.
Want to add a background color? It enhances the design of your feature box and helps users read the text, especially if you are using light colors.
Head over to the Background Overlay tab.
Select a color and change the opacity based on your preference.
Now tweak the text and button settings to get the perfect design for your store. You can also play around with the spacing to get your design pixel-perfect.
Step 3: Repeat the Process
If you are happy with the design of your first column, repeat the process for the other two.
You could also right-click on the column and select the Duplicate option.
Just make sure you delete the empty columns after duplicating the first one.
Tweak the content and images for the individual feature boxes, and once you are done, you should have feature boxes similar to the one shown below.
Want more spacing between the feature boxes?
Head over to the section settings and adjust Padding under the Advanced tab.
This should give you the required spacing between the feature boxes.
Similarly, you can create all kinds of stylish feature boxes with Elementor page builder.

How does this look on tablet and mobile? It doesn’t look pretty for me and I’m curious how you’d make it look great on both tablet and mobile. Thanks!
It looks how you want it really. Elementor has extensive responsive options.
I love the effect and have been trying to recreate this. However I have to agree with CDIF, I am having a hard time setting things up like you have at the beginning of the video. Maybe also because apparently things have changed a bit with Elementor since this video was released. However the only way I am able to set this up is by using two columns next to each other, adding the gradient to the very right of the left column. But then I would have to add the box shadow to the whole section and even though it is set to “boxed” and the content is in fact boxed, the shadow goes all the way up to the edge of the screen, which looks weird.
Maybe you could explain how you set up your section and columns a little bit further, that would be super helpful.
Thank you!
You need to create a section and then add an inner section. Add the box shadow to the two column inner section.
You stated that everything done in the video would be with the free version of Elementor, but the free version does not have the column feature so I couldn’t use the method you showed. I believe that is a pro feature (given the fact that you’re using pro in the video)
All versions of Elementor have columns. Free and Pro.
Hello,
Can you show start of the box creation please?
I don’t understand how to do it.
Jeff
Nice video but when you start with it already made it doesn’t really help figure it out.
Oh sorry, you didn’t find it helpful.
How have you embedded the transcript in this page so that it is scrollable within the box but doesnt scroll the whole page? I am assuming its done with elementor
Very observant :-)! Yea it’s an Elementor Post Template that I created.
