The Best WordPress Translation Plugins for your site

By Simon Tomkins3 Comments

Nowadays there’s nothing unusual about expanding your business into new markets. Living in such a globalized world means more than ever people are doing business across borders, purchasing products, services and goods at a rate we haven’t seen before. This has seen the growth of translation plugins within the WordPress eco-system.

Entering new markets has never been more accessible due to advances in technology and developments in societies, not to mention huge foreign investments. And, for those looking to expand, naturally one of the first places you might look at is your website.

Striking design might be one way to gain new customers, but in fact it comes down to the actual words on your website and to be more exact – speaking the same language as your new potential customers.

You may not realize the importance of translating your website but the statistics don’t lie. 72.4% of consumers said they would be more likely to buy a product with information in their own language.

For WordPress users you’ll need to bear one thing in mind, WordPress doesn’t actually offer a native solution to translating your website. But, that’s exactly where translation plugins come in. We’ll take a look at the benefits of translating your website and then highlight four of the most popular translation plugins available.

PowerPack for Elementor Review – extend Elementor even further!

By Simon TomkinsLeave a comment

Let’s start this PowerPack for Elementor review by briefly talking about Elementor. We’ve always been big fans of Elementor since its early days (see our Elementor review here) and are using it as the page builder of choice in each of our Create and Code WordPress themes. It has moved page builders to a new level – using it seems natural and responsive. A big part of this was the ability to edit the page directly, what’s better than seeing your changes right away? But the other aspect was its interface. It got out of the away, and despite being extremely powerful always felt easy to use.

Another key reason for its continuing success (it now has over 2 million active installs) is that the Elementor team just keep on iterating and adding new features. If you’ve joined the mailing list you’ll see the regular updates from its CTO Ben Pines on the latest additions to both its free and pro versions. I’m not sure if I’ve seen a plugin develop at such a rapid pace before, it is extremely impressive.

Because of its continuing growth it has helped foster a rich eco-system of add-on plugins to add even further functionality to an already impressive product. One of these is the excellent PowerPack for Elementor plugin. This plugin adds a huge number of additional useful shortcodes to help build even more sophisticated sites.

So the next time a client asks, “Can we include a..” – this PowerPack for Elementor plugin might have the answer.

By the way, if Beaver Builder is your page builder of choice, they have a separate solution for that – but this review concentrates on the version for Elementor. Let’s dive in!

Envato Elements – Template Kits Plugin Review

By Simon Tomkins1 Comment

Template kits is an interesting foray into the plugin space by the behemoth WordPress themes seller, Envato. It’s a free plugin, available in the official directory, which allows you to import ready-designed pages and blocks using the Elementor or Beaver Builder page editors.

A Gutenberg category may potentially be also on the cards in the future, but it’ll first likely need some sort of layout options incorporated within it before you can design pages similar in scope to that of the other two builders.
