In this WPDesigns guide, we are going to learn very interesting topic which is about Easy Absolute Positioning in Elementor.
What Is Absolute Positioning?
This form of positioning enables you to precisely place your element where you want it.
The positioning is done in comparison with the first parent element positioned relatively (or absolutely). If there is no parent element positioned, it is positioned directly related to the HTML element (the page itself).
It is important to remember that it is not overused when using an absolute position; otherwise, it can lead to a page or post maintenance nightmare!
Absolute position in Elementor
Breaking the grid with absolute positioning is an efficient way to create a particular format.
For visitors to express their views about a website, it takes a couple of seconds. This first experience depends in large part on the nature of the site; striking design is far more memorable. The breaking of the grid is one of the most powerful ways to create a unique design.
Web designers also hear the grid being the best friend of a designer. This is true—the grid helps to understand a page’s layout. At the same time, the grid may have limit creativity.
Designers use the absolute placement of elements to split the grid in order to make the layout more visually attractive.
Absolute placement for elements required coding skills for a long time. Designers were required to create custom CSS styles for elements with absolute positioning. But now you can easily do that with Elementor. You can do it easily for any widget of Elementor.To do so, go to the advanced tab of any widget and then positioning. After click on the positioning tab you can see the position option here. Just choose the absolute from the position dropdown menu. That’s it. Now you can position the element horizontal and vertically both side.
Absolute positioning breaks a responsive design; if you use absolute positioning on an item and don’t change it for different screen sizes, the item will go off the canvas. A misplaced object can cause certain screens to not appear, or the page will overflow the viewport, and the visitor will need to scroll through tons of whitespace.
But Elementor gives you the feature to make responsive for tab and mobile devices to make the site responsive so you can easily control the position in different device easily.
Now we will see few example of absolute positioning:
Imagery
It’s true that a picture is worth a thousand words. A designer’s toolkit includes a lot of imagery. Even before they read any of the text on the website, the right imagery will give visitors a good sense of what the site is about. We’ll see how making the image position absolute will help us create a more efficient design. To do this, we’ll open a page in Elementor and then add a section with two columns. Then, in the left-hand column, we’ll add a heading, a text-box, and a button. In the second column, we’ll add three images and change the top and bottom image’s position to absolute. And we’ll leave the middle picture as it is. To do so, go to the image widget’s advanced tab and then click on positioning. After that, make the position absolute. Then you can drag and drop them or use the offset handle to shift them vertically and horizontally.
Badges
Badges are often used in product design to demonstrate the product’s or service’s attributes. Badges are essential because they cut down on the amount of time it takes for users to understand the message.
Now we’ll look at how to use absolute position to add a badge in Elementor. As a result, we’ll create a two-column section. Two photos will be added to the first column. One is for the product, and the other is for the badge. We’ll put the product title, price, and summary in another column.
To add the badge, simply click on the image of the badge and select the advanced tab. We’ll set the position to absolute from the positioning tab. Then we’ll change it to suit wherever you think it’ll look best. I’ll set it at the top-left corner of the product image.
