Widgets in Action
Chris and his team are clearly a creative bunch — their website has a distinct voice, and the way they customized Elfsight widgets to match that vibe is super impressive.
Home page: 4 widgets
- Search widget – right at the top, helping users find content instantly:
- Social Feed – styled like a dynamic gallery, adding energy and motion:
- YouTube Gallery – sleek and subtle, great for showcasing their latest content:
- Event Calendar – clean, on-brand, and synced with Google Calendar:
FAQ widget

It’s always a great idea to include a FAQ section — especially when it looks this good:
Before Using Elfsight
“Our platform’s built-in search and event calendar are basically useless, Elfsight’s widgets really help pick up the slack with quick & responsive widgets that are easy to setup and customize to our liking.”
- Ineffective built-in widgets (e.g., search and event calendar)
- Limited customization options in native tools
- Poor usability and missing core functionality
Solution
"I discovered Elfsight after searching for Squarespace plug-ins. Once I saw everything I could do with an Elfsight subscription, it was a no-brainer.
The Event Calendar was especially important because we could connect it to our public Google Calendar and manage events through there – it’s now a cornerstone of our website as we host a number of recurring livestreams.
Elfsight also constantly provides updates and improvements that are easy to navigate and implement. They are clearly listening to their customers’ feedback and requests, because almost everything we’ve requested has been implemented, or at the very least we received a quick response from the Elfsight team outlining why it may or may not be possible."
Results
We implemented Elfsight’s Event Calendar and Search widgets in September 2024, and immediately noticed an increase in traffic to our website.
We’re so grateful for your contribution, Chris — and thrilled that Elfsight has helped bring Dumb Industries to life online. Wishing you continued success and fun along the way!
