Create a website with a Zoom meeting

One of the most time consuming tasks for web creators is working with clients to create a brief. These briefs are the foundation needed to build a site your client will approve of. With Elementor Site Planner you can greatly streamline this process, creating an
entire draft website after just one Zoom meeting with your client.

Prerequisites

• Zoom. You can use either the app or the online version of Zoom.
• An Elementor account. For details, see Create your account.

After creating your brief, Elementor Site Planner creates a website for you. To use this website you’ll need:

• To set up a website using Elementor Hosting.
• (Optional) The WooCommerce plugin.
  or
• A WordPress website.
• The Elementor plugin.

    Site Planner will create a sitemap and wireframe layout for your site.

Work with your draft layout

Site Planner drafts a sitemap and wireframe for your site which you can then customize to your needs.

Site Planner presents the sitemap one page at a time, listing the different sections of the page. 

• Click a page name to see the map of that page.

You can customize the site layout using either the sitemap or wireframe, although some features are only available from either the sitemap or the wireframe. 

Use the Sitemap and Wireframe buttons to switch between the two views.

You can examine and edit the layout using the following features:

Zoom in on a page

Use the View dropdown menu to zoom in and out.

Add a page

Adding a page can only be done from the sitemap.

If there’s a page missing from the layout, you can add it from the sitemap.

To add a page:

1. Hover your mouse over the space between two pages.
   
2. Click the plus symbol.
   
3. (Optional) Add a page name. 
   
4. Click Generate page.

Site Planner will generate a new page using the page name and the other information you provided in your brief. For instance, a page titled “Our Products” will yield different results than a page titled “Meet our staff”.
