Kirki Pro is available on GPLShare.com in a GPL version for those of you who are building a website using the WordPress CMS. If you’ve been in the WordPress field for a long time, you’re surely familiar with this one plugin, namely Kirki.
Kirki used to be just a simple customizer toolkit targeted at developers. But now it has completely transformed into a full-fledged Visual Website Builder and CMS. The developers even created Kirki Pro, making it even more perfect.
Key Features of Kirki Pro
Kirki Pro brings a new paradigm to web design in WordPress, namely breaking away from the built-in rows and columns structure. Here is a detailed explanation of the features it offers:
Borderless Grid Design
As we know about Elementor or Gutenberg which use flexbox, linear grid layout. Well… this Kirki Pro plugin is actually different because it uses a Canvas system, this is similar to design software like Figma or Adobe XD.
- You can shift, stack or layer, and place elements anywhere on the screen visually.
- Allows the creation of custom responsive breakpoints for various device screen sizes in parallel without breaking the main structure.
Advanced Built-In CMS
You can create custom post type data structures and custom fields right inside the Kirki editor, so you don’t need additional plugins like Advanced Custom Fields ACF.
Reference & Multi-Reference Data connects one data collection with another collection.
You can create a single template design, for example: a product or portfolio page whose data is automatically populated based on your WordPress database.
Visual Keyframe Interaction Timeline
Kirki Pro has an Interaction Library feature and a keyframe-based timeline editor. You can set up animations triggered by scroll, click, hover, or mouse movement. It supports Lottie Files integration and improved text animations, and it won’t burden JavaScript performance on the frontend.
All-in-One Features
Kirki Pro focuses more on its own features, intentionally designed to not depend too heavily on other plugins, in order to improve site security and speed.
Some of its features are:
- Popup Builder & Form Builder, namely Visual controls with direct submit data management.
- Figma to Kirki Importer is capable of copying designs from Figma and converting them directly into ready-to-use web elements. Styles and spacing are preserved.
- Dev Mode is for developers; Kirki provides a special mode to view CSS code and mark-up for handoff needs.
So now Kirki Pro is no longer just a helper plugin like before. This plugin is a visual design platform, giving you the freedom to design, making your website professional like Webflow but still WordPress-based.
