We’ll start with listing the platforms you’ll be working with and explaining some basic tools. If you want to get straight to work you can skip to unit 2, but if you’ve never used WordPress or Elementor we recommend that you’ll review this unit sooner rather than later.
[simple_note] If you haven’t downloaded a kit to your site yet, this unit will guide you through the process of doing so. [\/simple_note]<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

  1. Most people using this guide aren’t experienced web designers or content writers.
    So creating and styling the content, text, and images on your site can be daunting.
    Elementor’s kits were created by professional designers and the kits offer structure for your content.<\/span><\/li>
  2. A kit lists all the text and images<\/strong> you need to create. The kit guides you on the length, content, and message of your text. It does the same for images, clarifying how many images you’ll need, their dimensions, etc.<\/li>
  3. You can create your website’s texts and images before you start editing, but finalize them while editing.
    Example:<\/strong> You may write a description of your services beforehand but it might be too short or long when you paste it in your kit. You’ll have to adjust the text length so it will be in compliance with the page’s design.<\/li>
  4. Your first encounter with a new platform can be overwhelming. This guide will explain basic terminology and concepts.
    By mirroring the processes and where you are in the process, we\u2019ll guide you on what to do.<\/li>
  5. This guide is divided into units, which contain several steps. Some steps explain concepts and others instruct you on the process.
    Processes are explained with step-by-step points. At the end of each step, you’ll find videos and articles with additional information.<\/li>
  6. Your skill level and the kit\u2019s complexity will affect how long it takes to complete your site.
    [simple_note] Assuming all the site assets (text and images) are prepared, it will take an experienced web creator 7 hours to edit a kit. [\/simple_note]<\/li><\/ol><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    1. WordPress (WP) is an open-source Content Management System (CMS), making it an expandable content-managing system for your website.<\/li>
    2. WP manages your website’s infrastructure.<\/li>
    3. Elementor is a WP plugin that expands WP’s capabilities.<\/li>
    4. Elementor helps you create websites without coding.<\/li>
    5. You’ll use both WP and Elementor. Some actions are done through WP, but you’ll primarily use Elementor.<\/li>
    6. Your Elementor Hosted Website account includes a pre-installed WP account and the Elementor plugins. You don’t need to install anything; you can get straight to work!<\/li><\/ol><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
