Module 1: Getting Ready and Starting Out

The first thing you need is a plan to host your website and a domain name. Pick a reliable company that is fast and stays online. Make sure the hosting works with the versions of PHP and MySQL that WordPress suggests.
2. Install WordPress

3. Install Elementor
- Go to Plugins → Add New, then search for “Elementor Page Builder” and install it.
- You can start with the free version of Elementor, which is good enough for many websites If you want more advanced features (like changing the theme or adding special fields), think about getting Elementor Pro.
- Open a new page and click “Edit with Elementor” to start learning how it works.
4. How Elementor Looks and Works
Inside Elementor, you’ll see:
- Sections: big groups of content that go across the page.
- Columns: parts inside sections that go up and down.
- Widgets: things you can add, like text, pictures, buttons, and forms.
Knowing these basic things will help you create all kinds of designs.
Module 2: Building Your First Page
1. Creating a New Page
Go to Pages → Add New, give it a name (like "Home") and click "Edit with Elementor". Start with a blank page or pick a ready-made design.
2. Adding Sections and Columns

- Button: add something for people to click on
- Spacer/Divider: to keep things looking neat
4. Design That Works on All Devices
Look at how your site looks on phones and tablets in Elementor (the icon on the bottom left). Change the spacing, text size, and what shows up to make sure your site looks good everywhere. A good design that works on all devices makes your site better for users and search engines.
5. Picking a Theme That’s Fast
Using a theme that is light and made to work well will make your site faster. It’s a good idea to use Elementor’s own “Hello Theme” or other light themes like "Astra" or "Blocksy".
Module 3: Ready-Made Designs and Using Things Again
1. Using Ready-Made Designs
Elementor has a collection of ready-made designs and site kits. Use a whole page or just a part of one, and then change the words, pictures, and colors to match your brand.

Blocks are smaller parts (like Testimonials or Features). You can use different blocks on different pages to build your site faster and keep the design consistent.
3. Saving Designs and Widgets to Use Again

- Set up general items (like how a button looks) that, when changed, update everywhere they're used.
