[Elementor] Which element to use for listing/displaying "skills" in a portfolio website

Goreng said:

Hi friends,
Im new to elementor and wordpress in general and wanted to make a portfolio website for myself as a exercise.
Which element should I use to make something like this in elementor?

Green box is the amount of year, so I want it to update every year, for example this year its "4 years" and I want it to auto update to "5 years" next year.

Currently I made it manually with Image + heading + text editor

Is there a better way to make it? So that its easier to update and add more skills in the future?

If I posted this on the wrong category/place, please don't hesitate to tell me.

Thank you

<?php
//Create a date object out of a string (e.g. from a database):
$date1 = date_create_from_format('Y-m-d', '2026-05-10');

//Create a date object out of today's date:
$date2 = date_create_from_format('Y-m-d', date('Y-m-d'));

//Create a comparison of the two dates and store it in an array:
$diff = (array) date_diff($date1, $date2);

//Output the array:
echo '<pre>'.print_r($diff,1).'</pre>';
?>

//This will output the following:

/* (
    [y] => 4
    [m] => 10
    [d] => 22
    [h] => 0
    [i] => 0
    [s] => 0
    [f] => 0
    [weekday] => 0
    [weekday_behavior] => 0
    [first_last_day_of] => 0
    [invert] => 1
    [days] => 1787
    [special_type] => 0
    [special_amount] => 0
    [have_weekday_relative] => 0
    [have_special_relative] => 0
)
*/
//So you can simply use:

<?php
echo $diff['days'];
?>
