I wish the Essential Toolkit had an option to select Convert Pro instead of a Page Builder AddOn
Hello,
I am sorry, but that won’t be possible. The main purpose of the Business Toolkit is to let users get access to the premium website demos while owning the Astra Pro and an Ultimate Addons of their choice. The premium website demos are built using Astra Pro and the Ultimate Addons, therefore it is necessary to have a page builder addon within the package that offers these demos. 🙂
Hi,
What about ultimate addon for Brizy builder. When are you adding that one?
Can you also look at adding more value to the Essential Toolkit? The price to value difference between the agency and the Essential Toolkit is not justified.
Consider throwing in a choice of any of the Convert Pro and Schema Pro as a selectable choice in addition to the ultimate addon choice,
Anyways, Let me know the day you add ultimate add-on for Brizy builder.
I have the Brizy lifetime license.
Thanks.
Hello,
Well, we do have plans to work on Ultimate Addons for Brizy! However, it is hard to share a definite ETA for it! 🙂
And about Convert Pro or Schema Pro being a part of the Essential Toolkit, we aren’t really sure whether all our users would be interested in this combination. The main purpose of the Business Toolkit is to let users get access to the premium website demos while owning the Astra Pro and an Ultimate Addons of their choice. Adding Convert Pro or Schema Pro would add to the cost of the package that might not be favorable for all.
However, I will certainly take this forward to our team and see whether we can consider it in eh future.
Regarding your Essential Toolkit, appears choices are Beaver Builder and Elementor only. Is there no integration with Divi Builder?
Thanks
Hello Bryan,
We have built the Ultimate Addons for Beaver Builder and Elementor and have therefore created Essential Toolkits for only these. 🙂
Can someone tell me why I would need something like Elementor if Astra already comes with pre-built templates and available blocks?
Also is there a way to make any site I’d create using Astra to be ADA compliant?
If yes to my second question (ADA) then would making use of Elementor Pro on top of Astra then make it so that getting and staying ADA compliant a bigger issue or an easier issue to resolve?
Regards,
Stephen
– Few of Astra’s templates are actually based on Elementor page builder, for those templates you will need Elementor to be active. The same goes for Beaver Builder, Brizy.
Astra also provides templates for WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg) which is available from WordPress core and you will not need any other plugins for these templates.
– We have not had ADA compatibility review done for Astra, Although we have taken care of accessibility requirements in the theme’s markup. If you have any suggestions or need any changes required in the theme to achieve compliance, you can just open up a support thread and we will get it implemented quickly.
So if I Buy the Essential Toolkit, I will get Elementor Personal (for one site)? or how does it work?
I runt the free versions of Astra and Elementor on my site today, but this will make me able to upgrade to pro on both Elementor and Astra?
Hi,
What is the difference of buying Essential Toolkit with Elementor and Astra Pro and Elementor separately?
Best regards
Nick
Hello Nick,
Elementor Pro is a plugin from a different author, hence we cannot include it in our bundle.
You will need to purchase it from their website.

If you still have any doubts do reach out to us from the support portal.
Is there a limit to the number of sites I can build with the Essential Toolkit?
No Tim,
There isn’t any limit to the number of websites you can build with the Essential Toolkit.

If I purchase the Essential Toolkit, is the Photography Portfolio template available?
Hello Andy,
Yes, you will be able to access the Photography Portfolio template with the Essential Toolkit.

If I buy the Essential Toolkit option, how many websites can I build with that single license?

Is the plugins will add on every website that use Astra license? And can use for unlimited domain ?
Hello Mirza, you will require to manually install the Ultimate Addons for Elementor plugin on your required website. And surely can be installed and activated on unlimited websites.
I purchased the Essential Toolkit February 2024. I’ve been struggling to create my website with these tools because there are no instructions as to how all these tools relate to each other. You guys have great YouTube videos on Astra and Spectra and Ultimate Addons for Elementor. How about a video on using the tools in this Toolkit? The Essential Toolkit has two themes, right? I think they might be used simultaneously but how? Is it important to upload/install/activate everything that comes in the toolkit before starting work on the website?
