Is Elision from QODE still worth buying?
Elision from QODE is a $69 retina multipurpose theme with 7,789 sales and a 4.54 rating from 544 buyers. Its one-page mode and section-based parallax date from the original build rather than a later bolt-on, which is why it still reads as a scrolling theme rather than a business theme with effects added. QODE shipped the last update on 1 December 2025.
Best for: creative studios that want a Qode theme without the size of Bridge
The Elision WordPress theme from QODE is the quieter sibling of Bridge, the author’s 224,000-sale flagship. Moreover, that is the point: same design vocabulary, far less to configure.
One-page mode that came with the original build
Elision’s single-page mode and section-based parallax date from the theme’s first release rather than a later update. Therefore the anchors, the section spacing and the scroll behaviour feel coherent instead of retrofitted. In addition, the retina-ready assets still hold up on modern displays, which is not true of every 2013 theme. Consequently the design ages better than its creation date suggests.
A closer look at the demo
Qode shortcodes, not Elementor
Layouts are assembled with QODE’s own shortcodes and page options rather than a third-party builder. As a result the theme is light and fast to set up, but the layouts stay with it. Furthermore, anyone who has built a Bridge or Stockholm site will recognise the controls immediately, which shortens the learning curve considerably.
Seven thousand sales, and an update from December 2025
Elision has 7,789 sales and 544 ratings behind a 4.54 average, which is a solid record for a theme of its size. However, the last release landed on 1 December 2025, making it the quietest update in this collection. Therefore it stays on the list, but watch for a 2026 release before committing a long-lived client site to it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Elision differ from Bridge?
Bridge is QODE’s flagship with 610+ demos and 224,000 sales; Elision is a much smaller theme with the same design language. Choose Elision when Bridge’s size is the problem rather than the attraction.
Does Elision work with Elementor?
No. It uses QODE’s own shortcodes and page options, which keeps it light but ties layouts to the theme.
Is a December 2025 update recent enough?
It is the oldest release among the themes we kept, and it is the reason to check for a newer version before buying. A year without a release is tolerable; two is not.
Can Elision run a one-page site?
Yes, one-page mode is a built-in setting rather than a demo trick, and the parallax sections were designed for it.
Does Elision support WooCommerce?
Yes. It handles a small shop comfortably alongside the portfolio and business layouts.
Elision or Brooklyn?
Brooklyn has 52,743 sales, a 4.70 rating and an August 2026 update, so it is the safer bet. Pick Elision if you specifically want the Qode design language.
