Table of Contents

Are you looking for a way to show prices on your website without the hassle? If yes, then you’re in the right place!

When it comes to presenting pricing information, tables are the most effective solution. They allow you to organize different price points, packages, or service tiers in a clear and structured way. However, creating tables in Elementor isn’t always straightforward, especially if you’re new to the platform.

In this blog, we’re going to guide you through a basic step-by-step method to add amazing table variations to your Elementor-powered website. Whether you need to display pricing plans, compare product features, or present data and statistics, this blog will teach you how to create effective, customized tables.

 

When to use tables

Tables are everywhere online—you’ve probably seen them more often than you realize. 

For example, comparison tables are a staple of service or subscription websites, making it easy to compare different options side by side. Tables help you present large amounts of information in an easily digestible row-column format. Even better, they allow users to compare multiple datasets quickly.

In addition to showing information, tables can also break up long blocks of text in blog posts or pages, which improves readability. We usually advise against using long walls of text, as they can overwhelm readers. The Block Editor in WordPress allows you to add tables effortlessly. The Table block lets you specify the number of rows and columns you need.

However, while WordPress makes it easy to add tables, the customization options are somewhat limited. You can adjust background colors, button styles, and font sizes, but that’s about it. For more advanced features or complex tables, using a page builder like Elementor (or Divi) will give you more flexibility.

What an Elementor table can do

If you’re looking to create more advanced tables in WordPress, Elementor offers an amazing table widget. With this amazing widget, you can edit table titles, set heading tags, add feature lists, adjust Calls To Action (CTAs), and more.

One of the key benefits of Elementor is the ability to create any layout you need for your pages or posts. You can easily set up multi-column designs, allowing you to place multiple Price Table widgets side by side. Additionally, Elementor includes a Table of Contents widget, which makes it easier for readers to navigate long-form content smoothly.

How to create an Elementor table in 6 steps

Step 1: Open the Elementor editor

Open the editor, then start with a blank page or import a template from the Elementor library.

When you’re ready to add the pricing table, start by selecting the number of columns you’d like. Click the plus sign in the Elementor editor and choose the column structure that best suits your pricing section.

Step 3: Add pricing table widgets

Drag and drop a Price Table widget into each column; each table works individually but displays side by side as a unified section or stacks on mobile devices

Drag and drop the pricing table widget. Remember that when using multiple columns, you’ll need to place a separate Price Table widget in each one. While each table will function as an individual element, users will see them displayed side by side (or stacked vertically on mobile devices) as part of a unified section.

Step 4: Style the first table

Start by adding and customizing one Price Table widget. Then duplicate it into other columns and update content for each.

It’s a good idea to start by adding one Price Table widget and customizing its style first. Once you’re happy with the design, you can easily duplicate or copy that widget into the other columns and update the content for each.

To personalize the table, select the widget and navigate to the Style tab in the settings. Elementor offers a wide range of styling options, including color choices, typography settings, and custom configurations for different sections of the table.

Step 5: Duplicate styled table

After styling the price table, right-click the widget, select 'Duplicate', then drag the copy into an empty column.

After styling the price table, right-click the widget, select ‘Duplicate’, then drag the copy into an empty column.

After finalizing the style of the price table, right-click on the widget and choose Duplicate. A copy of the table will appear beneath the original, which you can easily drag into one of the empty columns.

Repeat this process for as many of the preferred columns as you need. Keep in mind that each table can have its own unique style if you prefer not to reuse settings. Just make sure the styles are similar enough for visitors to easily recognize that they are viewing a comparison.

While customizing your table, remember that Elementor allows you to add custom CSS to any module. To do this, navigate to the widget’s Advanced settings and select the Custom CSS tab:

Adding custom CSS via Elementor is much easier than editing WordPress code manually. Normally, editing CSS in WordPress requires accessing theme files and optimizing the code for performance. With Elementor, you simply paste the CSS code into the provided field for each module.

If adding CSS sounds daunting, don’t worry. Learning CSS is easier than it seems, and it’s a valuable skill that can help you further customize your WordPress websites—or even open up opportunities in web development.

Step 6: Finalize and save

To edit table text and features, select the table and go to the Content tab in the widget settings.

Once your tables are in place, it’s time to edit the text and add the necessary features for each entry. To do this, select a table and go to the Content tab under the widget settings.

Editing the content of your price tables is straightforward. You can click on any element within the widget to modify it. Once you’re satisfied with the changes, your price tables will be ready to use.
