35+ widgets and dynamic tags for creating professional real estate websites with immonex Kickstart and Elementor

== Description ==

This **add-on plugin** extends [immonex Kickstart](https://wordpress.org/plugins/immonex-kickstart/) powered WordPress installations by a variety of widgets and other dynamic content elements for the quick and easy implementation of real estate agency and portal sites with the [Elementor Website Builder](https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/).

The focus here is on the presentation of real estate offers, the data of which is managed using a common software solution for real estate agents and continuously synchronized via an OpenImmo® XML interface with [immonex OpenImmo2WP](https://plugins.inveris.de/wordpress-plugins/immonex-openimmo2wp) ([Doc](https://docs.immonex.de/openimmo2wp/)) on the WP import side.

All widgets can be used in full with the **free Elementor version**. [Elementor Pro](https://elementor.com/products/website-builder/) is only required for using the *dynamic tags*.

The plugin supports both Kickstart's basic frontend components – property list and detail views, search form, image/video galleries, maps, 360° tours ... – and those of its add-ons like [Team](https://wordpress.org/plugins/immonex-kickstart-team/) (contact persons, agencies, inquiry forms etc.) and *Print* (PDF exposé generation).

Suitable widgets are also available for embedding content elements provided by the following immonex plugins:

- [Energy Scale Pro](https://plugins.inveris.de/wordpress-plugins/immonex-energy-scale-pro) [2] ([Doc](https://docs.immonex.de/energy-scale-pro/)): energy scales according to EnEV or GEG
- [Lead Generator](https://plugins.inveris.de/wordpress-plugins/immonex-lead-generator) [2] ([Doc](https://docs.immonex.de/lead-generator/)): valuation request forms for generating qualified seller contacts
- [Notify](https://plugins.inveris.de/wordpress-plugins/notify) [2] ([Doc](https://docs.immonex.de/notify/)): property search agent with email notifications

With the widgets and dynamic tags provided by this add-on, **template pages** (e.g., for real estate archives and individual pages) can be implemented both as Elementor Pro templates and as regular pages that can be used in combination with the free version of Elementor.

Custom layouts created in this way can be seamlessly integrated into the framework of any WordPress theme. Furthermore, multilingual websites can also be created on this basis with [WPML](https://wpml.org/) or [Polylang](https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/).
