Process Steps Pro

How to set up and style the Process Steps widget in Elementor.

Process Steps lays out a sequence of steps in a row or a column, each with a marker, a title and a description. Lines or arrows join the markers, and the steps can appear one by one when the widget scrolls into view. Use it for how it works sections, onboarding and order processes.

Part of: Bright Addons Pro.

Set it up

  1. Drag the Process Steps widget onto the page and open the Steps section.

  2. Give each step a Title and a Description, and add a Link if the title should be clickable.

  3. Open Layout and choose a Direction. For a horizontal layout also set Switch to Vertical On and Alignment.

  4. Pick the Marker type. For numbers choose a Number Format and add a Number Prefix if needed.

  5. Choose a Connector and leave Animate Steps in Sequence on for the scroll animation.

  6. In the Style tab set the Accent Color, then adjust the Marker size and the Connector color and thickness.

Style options

These sections are in the Style tab.

  • General

    the accent color and the space between steps.

  • Step Box

    background, border, shadow, radius and padding of the step content, with a hover state.

  • Marker

    size, icon size, typography, color and background for normal and hover states, hover border color and scale, border, radius, shadow and the space to the content.

  • Connector

    the color, thickness and the gap around the marker.

  • Title and Description

    typography, color, text shadow and margin for the title (with a hover color) and the description.

Tips

  • Step numbers follow the order of the list, so reordering steps renumbers them automatically.

  • The Number Format and Number Prefix settings only appear when the global Marker is set to Number.

  • The sequence animation is skipped for visitors whose device is set to reduce motion, and all steps show at once.

  • The Connector style section is hidden when Connector is set to None.

Questions and answers

Can one step use an icon while the others use numbers?

Yes. Open that step and set its Marker to Icon, Image or Custom Text. The other steps keep the global marker.

What happens to a horizontal layout on phones?

By default it switches to a vertical layout on mobile. Change this with Switch to Vertical On.

Can a step link to another page?

Yes. Add a Link to the step and its title becomes a link.

Can the numbers read Step 01, Step 02?

Yes. Set Number Format to 01, 02, 03 and type Step in Number Prefix.
