WAITLIST

Two seats. Then the door.

Kestrel Line runs eleven people at a time. Two are confirmed for the next rotation. The rest of this row is the queue, in order.

Frequently asked

Image Stack

Straight answers about what this one does, where it fits in a real build, and what it costs you to ship.

Still stuck?

Read the documentation for this one, or write to us — a human answers inside a business day.

How do I add an overlapping avatar row to Elementor?

Use the Image Stack widget in Sky Addons for Elementor. It lays circular avatars in an overlapping pile with an adjustable overlap, 18 pixels by default, and pairs it with a star rating and a line of proof text such as “Trusted by 2,000+ makers”. Face size runs from 24 to 160 pixels, per device.

Can the avatar stack pull real WordPress users automatically?

Yes. Set the source to Dynamic and choose WP Users, Post Authors, or WooCommerce or EDD customers when those plugins are active. You filter by role, cap the number of people, order by most recent, name or random, and optionally exclude whoever is logged in. The alternative is a hand-built repeater.

Does a dynamic avatar stack slow the page down?

It queries users once, then caches. The Cache Duration control ships at 12 hours, with 1 hour through 1 week and a No Cache option, so a busy page is not running a user query on every view. Avatars come from your site’s avatar system at 96 pixels, which on a default install means a Gravatar request per person.

What happens when there are more people than avatars shown?

A “+N” bubble closes the row. Max Visible defaults to five faces, the rest collapse into the counter, and setting it to zero shows everybody. Click to Reveal Rest, on by default, expands the hidden avatars in place when the bubble is clicked; the bubble carries a proper expanded state for screen readers.

Do the avatars in the Image Stack lazy-load?

Yes — each face is a real image tag carrying the browser’s native lazy-loading attribute and alt text taken from the person’s name. For hand-built stacks an Image Size control lets you serve the Thumbnail derivative rather than the original upload, which is what it ships set to.

Does the Image Stack widget require Elementor Pro?

No. It is a Sky Addons Pro widget and works on free Elementor with any theme. Tooltips use Tippy with Popper and the animated number uses CountUp, all three bundled with the plugin and enqueued only on pages that contain the widget — nothing is fetched from an external CDN at runtime.

Can I show a name and job title when hovering an avatar?

Yes — each face gets a tooltip carrying the person’s name and a subtitle, which for dynamic stacks can be their WordPress role or their bio. Placement is a control, and the tooltip has its own width, background, arrow colour, border, radius, padding and typography, so it need not look like a default tooltip.

Can the counter number animate as it scrolls into view?

Yes. The proof line supports an animated number with a start value, an end value defaulting to 2,000, a thousands separator and a duration in seconds, plus prefix and suffix text around it. Turn the animation off and the figure simply prints, which is the safer choice above the fold.

Does the Image Stack respect reduced-motion settings?

Yes. The avatar transitions are disabled and the online-status dot stops pulsing for visitors who have asked their system to reduce motion. The hover lift is transform-only and never reflows the row, and the scroll reveal is a CSS scroll-driven animation with no JavaScript behind it.

Is the Image Stack a photo gallery?

No — it is a social-proof cluster, not a way to browse pictures. Faces overlap deliberately, so most of each image is hidden and there is no lightbox or full-size view. Use it under a headline or beside a signup button; for actual photographs, reach for one of Sky Addons’ gallery widgets instead.
