Elementor workflow toolkit - plan sections, run a design checklist, save color palettes & font pairs, and generate CSS, right beside your canvas.

== Description ==

**Sekkei** is the all-in-one workflow tool designed specifically for Elementor page builders. It integrates directly into the Elementor editor as a sliding side panel, or works as a standalone tool from your WordPress dashboard.

Stop switching between apps and browser tabs - plan, design, and organize everything in one place, right next to your Elementor canvas.

=  Key Features =

**Section Planner** - Plan your page structure before building. Add sections with names, types (hero/nav/content/CTA/footer/custom), CSS classes, and notes. Drag-and-drop to reorder. Quick template to scaffold common pages.

**Design Checklist** - Never miss a step. 30+ checklist items across 5 categories: Before Design, Structure, Design, Mobile, and Handover. Add custom items and groups. Track progress with a live progress bar.

**Color Palette** - Save and organize your brand colors. Group colors by palette (Brand, Dark Mode, etc.). Click any swatch to copy the hex code. Assign roles like Primary, Accent, Background.

**Font Pairing** - 10 curated font pairings (including Bengali fonts). Filter by style: editorial, modern, minimal, bold. Copy CSS and Google Fonts links. Save custom pairings.

**CSS Generator** - Generate Elementor-ready custom CSS snippets. 6 presets (Section, Container, Typography, Button, Card, Responsive). Auto-fill from your Section Planner. Save and reuse snippets.

**Project Notes** - Client feedback, revision history, TODOs  all in one place. Quick insert tags for common patterns. Date stamps and structured formatting.

**Pre-Publish Audit** - Scan your Elementor page for common issues before publishing. Detect placeholder text, broken links, missing image alt tags, and layout hierarchy issues. Locate elements with a single click.

**Export** - Export your entire project as formatted text or JSON. Download .txt for client handover. JSON backup/import for portability.

**Multiple Projects** - Manage separate projects with independent data. Switch between projects instantly.

3. **Data Storage**: All data is saved in your browser's localStorage  no server requests, no database load, instant performance.

== Installation ==

4. Or navigate to Sekkei  Open Tool in the WordPress admin menu

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this require Elementor Pro? =

No! Sekkei works with the free version of Elementor. No Pro API is used.

= Where is my data saved? =

All data is saved in your browser's localStorage. This means it persists across sessions but is specific to the browser you're using.

= Can I export my data? =

Yes! Use the Export tab to download your project as a .txt file for client handover or as JSON for backup/import.

= Will this slow down my site? =

No. Sekkei only loads in the Elementor editor and WordPress admin - never on the frontend. Zero impact on site performance.


= Does Sekkei load anything on my live frontend? =

No. Sekkei is designed for the WordPress admin and Elementor editor only. It does not add frontend widgets, frontend scripts, or frontend styles to visitor-facing pages.

= What happens if my browser storage gets corrupted? =

Sekkei keeps a local recovery backup before saves. If the main local data cannot be loaded, Sekkei attempts to recover from the backup. You can also use Export -> Restore Backup inside the tool.

= Is JSON import safe? =

Sekkei validates imported JSON, normalizes project data, limits large imports, and shows an import summary before adding the project.

= What should I do before publishing an Elementor page? =

Open Sekkei, review the Section Planner, complete the Design Checklist, run the Pre-Publish Audit, then export your notes or JSON backup for handoff.

= Does it work with other page builders? =

Sekkei is designed for Elementor workflows, but the standalone tool (Admin - Open Tool) can be used for planning any website project.
