Elementor is a drag and drop
page creation plugin for WordPress, which means several things due to the extent of its functionalities:
- It gives you a completely original and separate interface to create articles, pages, and custom header and footer types.
- Basically, when you visit your standard article/page editing screen in WordPress, you get a new button that lets you activate Elementor and then let it take over the entire page editing process. Just click on it to get the drag and drop interface of the different elements that will make the design of your page.
- It requires no knowledge or skill in HTML or PHP. Everything can be done through the elementor interface.
- It works from the start, which means it immediately shows you the results of your work in a real way "what you see, what you see, what you have, what you have". It's a WYSIWYG
- You can use it to create any layout or content layout you can imagine - regardless of what your current WordPress theme allows you to do. The Pro version even allows you to fully edit the menu, header, footer and make pop-ups!
- It works with all WordPress themes.
- The main advantage of using Elementor is that you can create pretty impressive and pretty layouts or content structures, even if you are not a designer and have no experience in creating sites (HTML, CSS, PHP). There is also a list of effective models that you can access for free in the elementor interface.
This, in principle, opens up a
lot of possibilities - especially if you are on a tight budget, but still, want
your site and its content to look good. Concretely, Elementor is to
WordPress what Gempages is to Shopify. Elementor has been downloaded over a million times to
date! This plugin has class and knows how to lead the construction of all
your pages. I prepare on this subject training on elementor, on the free
and paid version where we will learn how to make a beautiful layout, with
image, videos and sales page. To install it, simply go here,
download the Elementor plugin for free and drag it into your
Wordpress.
But there's more: If you don't want to create
Elementor layouts from scratch, you can also start from a number of templates or
themes, and change them freely until you get the exact result. that you wish.
ELEMENTOR'S
FUNCTIONALITY ON A PAGE
Elementor is delivered ready to
use, equipped with elements that will create landing pages or embellish your the site as you wish:
- First of all, there is the
main page building feature itself (we'll talk about that in a minute).
- Then there is a library of pre-made page templates (as I mentioned above) that
can be imported and edited. At the time of this writing, over 35 free models were available. In addition, you can save your own templates
for later use.
- Finally, there is a custom page template called Elementor Canvas. It is a blank page the template that allows you to build a page without having elements from your
current WordPress theme, such as header, footer or sidebar.
- As I mentioned, Elementor
allows you to freely build, modify and adjust your pages - and see the
results in real-time. Again, this is a live preview, so you don't
have to wonder what your page will look like once published (which is the
standard scenario with native WordPress pages which are heavily dependent on the
theme).
So what exactly can you
do? First of all, Elementor lets you take advantage of a number of content
widgets (or content blocks), which you can place anywhere on the page and then
rearrange by drag and drop via full support. Completely at ease, Elementor
offers you a responsive version directly without any action on your
part. You can, of course, modify them separately.
If you want to get started for
the first time and start editing this web page a little more, you can easily add HTML, CSS, etc. Besides, don't forget
that you must optimize the referencing as usual by making titles in h2 h3, etc
... So by having a nice page structure, clean sections, a style that makes you
want to read, buttons that click and the few widgets you like.
I should point out since it's
the most impressive thing here, that the drag and drop feature allows you to
take any piece of content that's already on the page and move it entirely
elsewhere. This works for all types of content represented by Elementor
content widgets.
- These widgets include
titles, images, texts, videos, videos, buttons, dividers, dividers, icons, image galleries and carousels, counters, testimonials, social media icons, shortcodes and much more. In addition, you can use all the widgets you already have
on your WordPress site.
- In addition, Elementor It also gives you access to basic display settings. This is where you can change backgrounds,
margins and fill values, default colors, fonts, etc.
- On top of that, there is
the full revision history, which means you can revert to a previous the version of the page (in case you made a mistake and don't know how to fix
it).
Last but not least, Elementor
gives you total control over the appearance of your page on the desktop, tablet
and mobile. I leave you a tutorial in English to learn how to use
Elementor, super well explained and intuitive even if we do not speak the
language of Shakespear!
