No more “click the tiny button inside the box” situations.

Here’s a question you’ve probably asked at 2:13 a.m. while building a landing page:

“How do I make the entire container clickable? Not just the button. The whole box.”

For years, the answer was:

• Install a plugin
• Use some custom code
• Or give up and hope users find the one link you buried inside the box

Not anymore.

With Elementor’s Flexbox Containers, you can make any container a full clickable area — natively — with zero plugins and exactly one dropdown menu.

Let’s do it.

✅ Why You’d Even Want This

Making the whole container clickable is about:

• Better UX (people click the big box, not the tiny text)
• Faster navigation
• Higher conversions (seriously, it works)
• And let’s be honest… it just feels more modern

Whether it’s a feature card, pricing table, product box, or blog post teaser — full-area links are a clickable design flex you should be using.

💡 Pro Tip:
Make sure there are no other links inside the container (buttons, icons, etc.) — nested links aren’t allowed in HTML and can break things.

🛑 Wait — Why Not Just Wrap It in a Button?

Because:

• That limits your design (you can’t put layouts inside buttons)
• It’s bad for accessibility
• And it just feels… hacky

This way, your container stays a container — you just upgrade it to a giant clickable element. With structure, semantics, and no extra plugins.

🔍 SEO & Performance Bonus

Making containers clickable natively means:

• Fewer plugins
• Cleaner code
• Faster loading
• Fewer things to maintain

Your visitors (and your PageSpeed score) will thank you.
