The Pros and Cons of Each Widget/Extension

This is a very simple solution without all the bells and whistles found in some of the other addons. If you don’t require detailed control over the Directional or Badge, and if a horizontal layout is all you need, consider this addon.

See our recommended Step / Step Flow widget.

Features

  1. Orientation : Horizontal

  2. Step Visual : Icon

  3. Badge : Yes - always top right

  4. Direction Indicator : Arrow only

Cons

  • Horizontal only
  • Can’t change the Directional, it’s always an arrow
  • Can’t change the Step Badge alignment, it’s always to the top right
  • 1 widget per Step, so any style changes need to be applied to all the Steps

The creative styles of the Title separator (line between the Title and Content) really help to make this addon stand out, especially for more artistic-looking websites.

It comes with plenty of options too, though only allows for a horizontal  Orientation.
