Transcripts

1. Class Intro: That's right. Join me now. My name is Ken and I've been using Elementor for the last five years now. I discovered Elementor back in 2019 when I needed a website for my online business. I had an online business idea but I didn't know how to build a website. And before that, I had never built a website before. But when I discovered that there's a free drag and drop builder called Elementor. It was a game changer for me. Long story short. I finally built the website by watching online elementary tutorials. And since then, what started out as a need to save money by being able to build my own websites has now turned into an income generating skill for me. I no longer only build website for myself with the skills that I gained, but for other people as well. So far, I've built tens of websites for several clients. And I do this as a freelance gig and having refined my skills with every new project over the years, I nowadays designed and sell elemental templates on a digital marketplace called Creative Market. You've probably heard of it through this class. I want to help you understand how to build beautiful web pages from scratch using Elementor. Elementor is free and I believe that there are many people like you who would like to learn how to use it like a pro. So by learning Elementor, you will now have a skill that can earn new income in several ways. For example, you can design and sell elementary templates, online marketplaces like Creative Market, Envato marketplace, or even build your own website through which you can sell element of templates. You can design websites for clients and get paid for your work. If you love teaching concepts like this, you can start teaching elementary. Just like me, can earn passive income from your online classes. And you can do as many new online businesses as you want without the limitations imposed by the lack of money to pay a web designer every time you have a new idea for an online business. I designed this class for complete beginners. So if you've never used elementary before, you will find the lessons in this class very easy to follow and understand. We start from the very beginning. That's how to install elementor. All the way to the end where we will have built a complete web page that can be used as part of a fully working website. By the end of this class, you will not only have a fully working webpage built with Elementor from scratch, you will also have gained the skills necessary to build the future web pages and landing pages and even websites in the future. So join me now in the class and let's meet in lesson one. 2. Getting Started: So once again, welcome. Now, as we prepare to get started, I just want us to have a quick overview of the landing page once more to see the different parts we will be creating and then we'll go ahead and get started. So at the very top we have the header, which holds the logo and nav bar. Then we have the hero section that typically has a nice image representing what the page is all about. And as you can see, we have this lady taken an online class, and then we have an H1 that summarizes what the page is all about. And every landing page needs to have just one h one elements. We have H1 all the way to H6, which are different levels of headings. As I've said, every landing page needs to have one H1 element, but it can have several H2 elements, several h3 elements, several h4 elements, and onwards. And you'll see that we will have several H two elements, h three elements. So if this landing page is a book, then the H1 at the top is the book title. A book cannot have more than one title, but it can have several topics and sub-topics in chapters. So that's what that's all about. Search engines also like to know what a page is all about and that's why search engines look at the H1 on any landing page to know how to index it. Let me go ahead and refresh the page because I had created it to animate when you're scrolling it, but only once when you load the page. So because I had already loaded the page, you can see the animation. So I'll go ahead and refresh the page. And now you will see this fading nicely and smoothly. The hero section, just like that, look cinematic. And then the scale-up section slides in like that, which I think is a cool effect. Then the section slides in that as well as it fades in. Then we have that counter section slides in from the top downwards. This has already animated. So as you can see, we have these animations and they're really adding a good vibe in a nice user experience to the user. They just fall in love with a website. Then we have the testimonials. This is automatically animated. We don't need to do anything. It keeps looping this animation on the testimonials to capture the user's attention so they can read what the testimonials say. Then finally, we have the sign up form that pops up from the bottom to notify people that they can sign up to get free courses. This is a nice call to action section. And then we have the folder. That's basically the website. That's, that's basically the landing page we're creating. And without wasting any more time, let's go ahead and start by creating the header. So I'll see you in the next lesson. 3. Install Astra Theme: Welcome back. So now we're ready to get started building the page. And the first part we're creating is the header. But before we do that, let's go ahead and install our theme and then our plugins. As you can see, this is a brand new installation of WordPress. We're at Version 6. You might be using a newer version, but the process we're applying right now will still be relevant. So going inside appearance themes, we can go ahead and install Astro by default because we're in the year 2022. The active theme is 2022. Last year it was 2021, and the year before that it was 2020. But we want to go ahead and say Add New. And we'll be taken to the WordPress themes repository or themes directory. And there are literally thousands of themes that we can use here. But the one we're interested in is Astra. So it should be right here. But you can also go ahead and type Astra just to be sure. And notice there is Astral and astra don't confuse the two. It's Astra installed that. Alright, let's go ahead and activate. And we're done. So now as you can see, the active theme is Astra. As you can see up here. Thank you for installing Astra. And they're just telling us that Astro comes with dozens of ready-to-use starter templates. And in fact, I had already published at class where I teach you how to use the starter templates to build a fully working websites. If you haven't seen it, go ahead and open up my profile. You'll see it right there. I teach you how to design a cosmetics shop using these ready-to-use starter templates. But I'll go ahead and close this down. And that's basically how to install a WordPress theme. Astra is one of the most popular WordPress themes today, and it has been for several years now. If you want to learn more, I recommend you go ahead and Google Astra Theme Review. Just so you can see why it's one of the most popular and best WordPress themes in the marketplace. Now that we have our theme installed and activated, next, we want to install and activate our plugins. Let's do that in the next lesson. I'll see you shortly. 4. Install Elementor Plugin: And welcome back. So now that we have Astra installed, it's time to install elementor. And the other two plugins that we'll be using to create our header. And you will see why we need those two plugins. Going directly inside plugins. I can click add new, but I want us to first go to the list of all plugins we already have installed. And here we are. So what I wanna do is say Add New and will be redirected to the plugins repository or plugins directory. And we can go ahead and search for Elementor. And it should be the first result. Once you search for it, it's by Elementor.com and has 5 million plus active installations at the time of recording. Install it now. And while it's installing, notice that there are other plug-ins here that have the name Elementor in them. These are basically plugins created to be extensions or provide extensions to Elementor plug-in. So Elementor provides specific features and settings and where it has shortcomings. These plugins add those features to elementor and I'll show you how they do that. These plugins also provide features for free that might be only available in the pro version or premium version of Elementor. Before we activate Elementor, Let's go ahead and install elements kids, elemental add-ons, which is one of the extensions we need for Elementor to be able to create our header. And we also want our header to be sticky. So let's go and install sticky header effects for Elementor. While it's installing. Let me just quickly jumped to this reference page here to show you what I mean by sticky. So when I start scrolling, notice that the header up here remains at the top. It doesn't scroll top words with the rest of the hero section and the page. So the hero section goes up and disappears, but the page remains at the very top. So that's what we mean by sticky header. The fact that it remains at the top and that enables the user to be able to navigate no matter what part of the page, their own. So going back to our list of plug-ins, now, it's installed. All we need to do is activate them. Let's go to install plugins. We're going to activate them one-by-one. And let's begin with Elementor, because lately since the last update on the plugin, we now have a setup wizard that we have to go through several steps to set up the basic parts of a website. So here we are. This is the setup wizard I just mentioned. It has several steps here. The first step here is to create an account with the elemental website in order to enjoy some of these benefits. But we don't need to create an account to use the plugin. So I'll just go ahead and skip this step. The second step is to select, to continue with the Hello theme. This is a theme that's created by the Elementor team to work with Elementor. But remember, we've already installed Astra theme, which is more powerful and more feature packs. So we'll go ahead and skip. Here we have an opportunity to give our website a name. By default, this is the name you gave your website when you were installing WordPress in your cPanel. So I'll just leave it at that and click Next. Then we have an opportunity here to upload our logo. But we're not doing that now. We'll upload the logo as we're building the landing page. So I'll go ahead and click Skip. And finally, we have two options here. We can edit a blank canvas with Elementor editor, or we can browse from hundreds of templates or import our own elementary templates. We're not going directly to start building the webpage, we need to go to the dashboard. So I'll click Skip. Alright, so it seems Elementor has redirected us to the canvas that we were avoiding. But let's go ahead and click this burger menu and Exit to Dashboard. Because remember we still haven't activated the rest of the plug-ins. I'll click this icon here so we can exit to the dashboard. Go back to plug-ins. In the next lesson. Let's go ahead and activate elements, heat, light. I'll see you shortly. 5. Add an Elementor Addon: And welcome back. So we've already installed and activated Elementor. Now we're about to activate elements key light. But before we do that, I just want to show you why we need elements, Keith light and other extensions of Elementor and how they work. So going inside pages, I just want to right-click and open this link in new tab so we can leave this page intact and we'll go to that new tab. So I can show you what we mean. This is the page that's been auto-generated by Elementor when we finished the wizard. So I'll click edit with Elementor. So we can go to the front-end and view what we have. Here. We are on the left side of Elementor. We have several panels containing Elementor tools. And by default, the basic panel is always open. These are the most popular elements on any website. Every website or webpage will always need a button, will always need a heading and image, videos, dividers, spaces, and all that. So if I collapse this basic area and open the Pro, these are the tools and features that will only be available if we have bought the Pro version of Elementor. So we can't drag them onto our workspace, but we can drag an image here and drop it in there. So one advantage of having those extensions like elements kid light, elements keep light is that some of the features that are only available in the Pro version of Elementor are actually free when you install this extension because its job is to bring advanced add-on score Elementor with time. So we did header and all those things. So we're going to activate elements key light. And we'll go to the front end and we'll find it listed here. And we'll have a quick look at the different tools it brings in. So I'll click Activate. And now it's active. It's listed right here on the left. And if we click elements, kid lights, just go ahead and click that. It also has its own setup wizard made up of several steps. And basically these three options here determine how many of these different features will be available or widgets. We'll call them that. So if we have advanced rather than basic, we'll have more of these jets. So I'll leave it at advanced or you can go ahead and just leave it at basic or recommended. And then we'll go and say next step. Here you can sign up to the elements kits community to be receiving news from them. Let's go ahead and click Next. Here. You have the option to install more tools that are developed by the same elements kids developer team. Then click Next, we're now going to install those. Then here, just go ahead and click next step. Next step, and now we're ready. Click Save Changes. And now we've installed and activated elements. Get light on our website. And with that done, let's go to the front end. And I'll refresh this page. It's asking us if we want to say they change as we don't want to save changes because this is not a page you're going to use. So I'll just reload. And now if I collapse the basic panel Pro panel in all these others, now you will notice that we have elements kit and elements kit header folder. And if we expand that, it has several tools that are meant to add more value to our websites. So if I type, now, you'll notice we have the nav that comes with Elementor Pro and a nav element that's brought in by elements kit add-on. And this is in the pro version, so we can't drag it into the page, but we can drag this and use it. So that's the advantage of adding those add-ons to Elementor. Now that we have elements kid, light activated, let's go back to the backend. Inside plugins. They're sticky header effects for Elementor does not have a setup wizard. So if I click Activate, it'll just get activated and we're ready to use it. So now that that's done, next thing wanna do now is get started building our header section. So let's do that starting from the next lesson. I'll see you shortly. 6. Create the Header The Logo: Welcome back. I went ahead and prepared a folder containing all the assets we will be using. And I appropriately named IT assets. So you'll find these assets folder in the description below and you can download it to find everything in here. And one of the things you will find in there is these colors dot TXT file. This basically contains the different color codes I used to come up with this color scheme. You can go ahead and use those color codes or you can use your own. So we'll be using this navy blue, light blue, orange. And of course you can use any shade of gray you want. I just wanted to mention that and also mentioned that you will find these assets folder in the description below. With that out of the way, let's get inside our dashboard. The first thing we need to do is notice that the header is made up of the logo and the nav bar. So let's upload a logo for our website. So I'll hover over elements kid. And one of the options here is header folder. So I'll click that. Here. You notice we have three panels, all Header and Footer. And this is, this will be a list of all the headers and footers you've created in this section. So I'll say Add New. And we can give our header a name. I'll just call it header. And the type can be either a header or a footer. So in this case, it's a header and conditions is that we want it to be available or visible on the entire site. And we can go ahead and say, first of all, let's activate it so that it's actually visible. If we leave it off, it won't be displayed anywhere. So let's say activate, save changes. And now it's active as you can see on this status. Click Edit. And on this pop-up menu click edit content will be redirected to the front-end where we can now start building the header using Elementor. Here we are. Now we're ready to get started. Of course. Let's start by adding a double column section. And it's a double column section because this column here will hold the logo. So we can go ahead and click the plus sign in there and add image. Then, while this image is selected, you will notice that this part says Edit image. When we select the section, this part changes to edit section. So whatever element you have active here on the page is the active element right here. And the settings and configurations you see here are for that element. So if I select the image, changes to edit image, and we can go ahead and select the image. And because we don't have any logo here, we'll open up our assets folder. And this is the logo. I'll select it and open. Here we go. Then insert media. And there we go. You might be wondering, why are some parts not feasible that because they are white in the background is white, but we'll have this background as blue, so there will be visible. So let's go ahead and set that blue background. And the bug, the blue background is on the whole, entire header. So it's the section select that, then go inside style, background type. We collapse this. We have several panels. We need the background under normal state. Let's click Classic under color. We can paste the color code here. So I'll quickly tab to this document and select this navy blue copy that. Then come in here and paste it there. And now it's that blue. I'll update and preview changes. There we have it. So the next thing we want to do is create this navbar. But the navbar is made up of menu items. And these menu items, we have four of them are actually web pages. So the first thing we need to do is create for web pages or any number of web pages you'll need. Then we can use those as the menu items. So let's see how to do that in the next lesson. See you shortly. 7. Create the Header The Nav Bar: Welcome back. Now we've already uploaded our logo. It's time now to create our menu. So going back in here, let's create a placeholder for that menu. And what we need to do is click this plus sign to bring up the elements or click this icon here, they do the same. So if I click that, it will bring up the elements so we can drag to this place. So I'll click the search bar here and type nav. Now remember, we had noticed we have two nav elements. Let's use the elements kids Nav Menu and drop it in there when that blue indicator appears. The moment we do that, we notice we don't see any menu. But because this is the active element, it says Edit elements get Nav Menu. And one of the options here is select menu. If we click this drop-down menu, we're supposed to have a menu here that we will select and it will be displayed here. But because we don't have a menu yet, we need to go to the back-end in the dashboard and create a WordPress menu. So let me update that first. And switching to this tab right here, I'll Exit to Dashboard. I still have this page intact. So I've just opened a new tab and going inside the dashboard so I can quickly create the menu. You can just exit from here if you want. You'll still come back. Now that we're inside the dashboard, I'll go inside. Appearance hover over appearance than menus. And when we land here, you'll notice that the first thing we're greeted with ease, create your first menu below. That's because they don't have a menu yet. We need to create one. Let me close this notification down. So let's give our menu a name. I'll call it menu, and I'll select primary menu. So we're making this menu, our primary menu. So that if we have more menus, they can be the secondary menus of Canvas, menu, ETC. So click Create menu. And the moment we do that, you'll notice that this part is now active. Initially it was not active. And this part here says Add menu items from the column on the left. Menu items can be page's posts, custom links, or categories. Sometimes they're even more items here. So what we need is to create a few pages and they will be listed here and we can add them onto our menu. But for now, notice we have the sample page that usually comes with every new installation of WordPress. So I'll right-click pages and open this link in a new tab. And I'll switch to that new tab to see a list of all the pages we have here. These two are drafts. Let me highlight them and move them to trash. In other words, delete them. In fact, I need to delete this sample page. We don't need it. Move to Trash. And now we can go ahead and add maybe four or five pages. So I'll click Add New home. And on the right we have WordPress and Elementor settings here, and asked for a settings here. So we need to configure those two types of settings. The first under the WordPress and Elementor settings. Let's go under template. Let's choose Elementor, full width. And then under Astro settings, under costume layout, Let's choose full width, stretched. And the sidebar. No sidebar. Because you don't want a webpage to have any sidebars. Then we need to disable the default awestruck header and footer because we're building our own in the front end. So with those settings intact, Let's go ahead and publish the page. Then exit to the list of pages. And now we have home, his honor, the pages I'll repeat the same process for more times, creating different pages. And I'll fast-forward this part because it's, it's just a reputation of what we've just done. I suggest you do the same. So add new. I'll call these courses. And that's the last page. So exiting to the list of pages we have. Now we have five pages which can be used as menu items. So going back inside, appearance, menus under pages, you'll notice that we now have them as menu items, so I'll select all of them. Or you can select one by one whichever you want. So I'll select all of them and add to menu. And now we have them listed under the menu, which goes by the name menu. And let's rearrange them by dragging them from the top to the bottom. Let's put contact as the very last item. The item that's at the top here will be the one on the left. And the item that's at the end here will be the item on the right in our menu, like that, from the left to the right. From the left to the right. And with that change, let's save menu. Now, with those changes, we can go ahead and switch to the page where we had our menu right here. Remember we had added this nav elements, NAB keep menu of selected elements, get Nav Menu, and we were supposed to have that menu appear here. Now all I need to do is refresh this page and that menu will appear here. So I'll hit Control R or Command R if you're on a Mac. To refresh the page. And I'll select this element, skip nav item. And now if we go to the Select menu, drop-down menu we just created will appear and the items will appear here. There we go. But now they are on the left. We need to push them to the right. So let's go to the horizontal menu position and switch to right. There we go. But now we need to change the colors to write because they're not visible currently. So while this is still selected, click anywhere within this blue box. Go inside style. Let me collapse the menu wrapper. We have several settings here. What we need is the menu items style, background type, no background item, text color, white. Let's drag that all the way there. And on hover, let me click anywhere to get rid of that. And on hover, we need the color to be 1524, which is one of the colors I have here, a 24. And when active on hover, now you'll notice it turns to that orange. And when active, we also needed to be F 158. Twenty-four, activate that. And then let's preview the changes. There we go. So now when I hover over this, it's awesome. And that's how to create the header. Next, let's see how to create the hero section. Let's do that in the next lesson. I'll see you shortly. 8. Create the Hero Section: Welcome back. So we're just about to create a hero section. One to start by adding this textblock. And then we'll add the image and we'll finish with these particles. So jumping over to our Elementor page, I want to exit from this part because we're done editing the header. Remember this is the place we were editing the header. So what we need to do is click this burger menu and Exit to Dashboard. We can go and create a webpage or use any of the web pages we've created. As you can see, we've been redirected into the dashboard and we're still inside the header settings. So let's go inside pages. And we have the list of all the pages we had created earlier. So we'll use any of these pages and I want to use the homepage is our landing page because it makes sense. So I'll click Edit. And because we had already set up everything here, all we need to do is say Edit with Elementor and will be redirected to the front-end where we can start populating the page with the rest of the content. So now that we're editing the page itself and not the header, we cannot edit the header from here. So we can click this logo or we can resize these columns here, or edit the colors of anything inside the header. We're editing the content that is under the header. So jumping to our reference here, we need a double column, one to hold the image and the other one to hold the textblock. So let's add a double column section. Of course, on this side, let's go ahead and add a heading. Let's drop it in there. So I'm just gonna go ahead and type. While this is selected, you'll notice that this has changed through edit heading. So I'll go ahead and type easy elementary courses for everyone. And we can go inside style while it's still active style typography. Let's increase the size and we can change the font family while we're still under Typography. Font-family. Let's change that to Montserrat or any fonts you want. So Montserrat, now click anywhere in this area here to get rid of this box like that. And let's change this color to white. And now you can't see it because the background is white. Which brings us to the next step, which is to change the background color of their whole section from the left to the right, we need to select the section itself. And now you'll notice it's a bit tricky to get a hold of the section. And what we need to do is just go through, if you hover over these and then go upwards, somehow, you're able to get those settings. And this is some sort of bug in Elementor. I've noticed that happening quite a lot. Or you can go to this column. And then because it's in contact with that part, you're able to select it. But if you go directly from here and tried to get to there, you won't be able to. End elements actually also provides us with a tool called the navigator that we can use to select and navigate the different sections that we have on the page. So hitting Control I on the keyboard will bring up the tool. And the tool basically gives us a bird's eye view of the page. So as you can see, we have two columns here. And those are these two columns. And they are inside the section. So if I collapse this section, you'll notice that the columns have disappeared now because they are inside the section. Expanding it reveals the two columns that are within it. So we can select a section from here by clicking the section. And now this reads section. That means the whole section is selected. That's another way to get around that small issue. So closing that down and we can go to style. If I collapsed the background, you'll notice we have several settings here. We only need the background for now. This time we don't want the background to be classic single color. We want it to be a gradient, so I'll click that. And we have the first color. And the second color, for the top color, or the first color, we want the same color because we want the gradient to run from the top to the bottom. So if we use the same color as these here, there'll be that gradual change appearing only between that blue and this second color here. So selecting color one. I'll switch over to this and say navy blue. Copy that, paste it in here. Let's go ahead and change this second color. This light blue. Copy that. Paste it in there. And now it's a beautiful blue gradient. So let's preview the changes. Yeah, there we go. So going back in here, while this is still selected, remember we said we need one H1 per page. So currently, while this is still selected, if you go to Contents, you'll notice that H2, let's change that to H1. Let's click that and add a text editor, which is essentially a paragraph. So we've dropped it in there while it's still selected. Now it says any text editor style text color, change that to white. And we can go ahead and select topography. Change the family. Montserrat. Select that, go inside style, typography, font, weight. Let's make it 900 so that it's heavy. And now we need some spacing between the content of the hero section and the header. So we do that by going to this individual column because this is a double column. Let's go to this column. Advanced margin. Let's remove this link so we can edit individual cells. So the top margin can increase it by eyeballing it. I think that's a nice distance. Let's update that and preview the changes. So there we go. Next thing we wanna do is add the image. So going back in here, let's click this plus sign here. And let's drag in an image element. With the image still active. We can go ahead and upload from our assets folder. This is the image. You have, all these image available to you below this video. Let's insert media. And there we go. Update that. And before we view it in the front-end, now, let's go ahead and add some spacing, some padding between the border of the section and the content where the content region. So let's select the section itself. Go inside advanced padding, remove that link. Bottom padding. Let's give it 50. Now that increases the space between where the content reaches and the border. At the top. We can maybe also give it some padding, maybe 30 update that. Let's preview the changes. Alright, I think that's awesome. The next thing we wanna do now is add our buttons. So let's go ahead and do that in the next lesson. 9. Adding Text Effects: Welcome back. We're just about to add our buttons right below here. But before we do that, you might be wondering, how did we add this drop shadow behind the text. As you can see, we have some sort of shadow effect behind the H1. So how did we do that? Going back in here, select the H1 and going inside style. Let's go to text shadow. And if we click that, look at the text. If I click that immediately, it shows some shadow behind. And we can customize it to our liking right here so you can increase the blurriness a little bit. I like how it looks, but go ahead and play around with that. I'll update that. Let's preview the changes. So I liked the drop shadow so far. But another thing you might be wondering is how did I achieve this orange color? I wanted the online courses to stand out because that's what we should really stand out for anyone who lands on this page. So all I did was to wrap that text inside a span. For those of you who don't know how to code in HTML, there's something called a span. And you can read more about it. It's very easy to use, but I'll just show you how I did it. So while this is still selected, I'll go inside content Elementor less than sign. Fan, so tight that span. Then the words for which you want to change the color should be wrapped inside the tools pants and the second span should have the slash right before the word span. And then inside the first span, type, style, equal to quotation marks. And inside the two quotation marks, you can go ahead and type color. I'll use the code. We've already been using 1524 just to maintain that consistency. In there, we have it, update that. So if this looks too complicated for you, you don't need to worry yourself in pink, you don t know Elementor, you, you won't really need to use these custom settings. I'm just showing you just in case you want to do extra customizations like these. In the next lesson, let's go ahead and add the two buttons. I'll see you shortly. 10. Adding and Customizing Buttons: We're back time now to add the two buttons. There are different ways to achieve the same result as this. We can add two buttons right here by inserting a double column in a section here and then dragging a and then drag into buttons in there like that and customizing them until they look like that. Or we can use the elements kit Duo button option, which I'm about to show you. So first of all, let me update this page before we go on. And then inside the dashboard, I want to go inside elements kit, click elements kit, widgets. And then remember while we were setting up elements kit, we selected the basic option. There was also the Advanced option and custom option. Because we selected the basic option, some of the widgets here, we're left unchecked or where it left off. So we need to activate the dual button option. So let's search for it. Yeah, here it is. All button option, so on. And then let's save the changes. And now switching back to our front-end where we're doing our editing. If I refresh this page by hitting Control R. Alright, so now let's go ahead and type Duo. And now it's available. So dragging this in here and dropping it in there. We have the two buttons. Now we can customize them. So first of all, let's begin by extending their width. And then let's increase the gap. Maybe up to there. And then let's expand button one. Let's give it a description like download courses. And then you can provide the link in here so that when someone clicks it, the length determines what will happen. Either it's a doubt, it's a download link, or it takes them to a page where they can download everything. Then collapsed button one. Let's go to Button to, let's change the text to learn more. And you can provide a link. And if you want, you can provide an icon. We're not going to do that. Let's update that. Now. While the buttons are still selected, let's go inside style. Now we can start styling them. If I collapse this, we have only two options. Button one can start by editing the background color. So here we have the text color, and then here we have the background type clicking that we can make this change 24. And this can be what color did we use here? A white. Let's make the button to white in color. So it's banding that background type color, white. So that means the texture needs to change to the navy blue. So click anywhere in here. To get rid of that, then the color of the text should be blue. So I'll tab over to this and select this navy blue copy that go in here, button to color. Paste it in there. And now it's blue. On hover. Wanted to remain blue. Paste that in there. And now it's still remains blue. For button one. Expand that. On hover. Still remains white. Next, let's round off the corners so that they're not as sharp as they are right now. So for button one, border-radius, Let's give it a ten. And now it's rounded on the corners. For button too. Let's do the same. Now. It's grounded. Let's reduce the height just a little bit. And we do that by going downwards all the way to padding. Break that link. And then let's do our own padding. On the top. Let's give it a 15. That's 15015. And the bottom 15. I like that. But here we can give you the 50 and bright 50. That's more like it. Let's do the same for button one. Padding. Remove the default padding. Then left, 50, right 50, top 15, bottom 15. Now we need to increase the width. So let's go back to content button. We'd like that. Then let's update that. Preview the changes. Alright, so now because of the amount of text here, the buttons have gone beyond. We can reduce the size of this or change this word to be a different word that's shorter. Like easy college courses for everyone. And we're already now starting to push everything up as we're supposed to update that. Preview changes. I already like where it's at. So the next thing we want to do is add that animation. When you hover over that, it rounds off because the colors are not changing on hover, we need a way to show the user that they're hovering over the specific elements. So going back in here, let's select that. Let's reduce the gap. And then for the style, if we go to button one on hover, we want to change the border radius to 50. So now when we hover over that, changes to that circular border radius. But because it done nothing to this yet, It's not changing. So let's go to Button to hover. Border-radius. 51. Final thing, let's give them a box shadow. So button one. Under normal circumstances, you need it to have a box shadow. On hover. We need the box-shadow to spread out more. So right now we have the box shadow at the default size, blur size of ten. But on hover, Let's give it a box shadow with a blurred size of, let's see, right now, it's still at ten. So if we give it maybe a 20, the box-shadow seems to spread out more and let's maybe try 30. I like that better. Let's do the same for button to box-shadow under normal circumstances, box shadow, and now we have a box shadow. And on hover, I want the box shadow to be a size 30. Update that. And let's preview the changes. Alright, so if we hover over that, I liked what we're looking at. So that's how to add the content on the hero section. Next, Let's see how to style the hero section to look like a book as it looks right here. And how to add these particles. I'll see you shortly. 11. Custom Border Effects: We're back. So it's time now to add that book like border effects right here at the bottom of the hero section. And what we need to do is select the section itself. So I'll select that. And we'll go site style. Then we'll go to shape divider in right now. We don't want to add that shape right here at the top. We want to add it at the bottom. Because if we add it at the top and say, book, here we are. Book, we're adding it to the top. We don't want that. So go back and say none. Want to go to bottom and then book. And there we have it. But now it's too high on the section. So what we need to do is play around with the height, let's say up to somewhere there. I like it at that point. But feel free to make it as high as you want. And also feel free to play around with all these other effects here. Because it's all about how creative you get this. I'll leave it at BU. And you can also invert it if you want. I like it that way. The next thing we want to do is, first of all, let's preview it. There we go. But let's increase the padding at the bottom now that we've brought the border closer to the content, let's push this padding further. So going back while the session is still selected, advanced, it's made me a 50. Now, let's, let's increase the padding at the bottom up somewhere there. In fact, let me make 120 because because I want this to fill up the whole landing page. So let's make this 100. And let's update that. And let's preview the changes. I want it to go all the way to the bottom if possible. Like that. Let's push the text block upwards a little bit. Leave the image where it is. I'll select the column holding the textblock. Go to Advanced. It deals the top margin. Like that. Let's update that. And that's what we really changes. I like where it's at. So now the next thing we wanna do is add these particles. And to do that, we need to add a very awesome Elementor extension called pirate net add-ons for Elementor. 12. Add Animated Particle Effects: So going inside our dashboard, plugins, add new. I'll type botnet. Botnet, depending on how you pronounce words. Here we are. We have Pi alternate forms. In pirating it add-ons for Elementor. So this is what we need, 30 thousand active installations right now. He stole. Now. Let's activate it. And there we have it. So it also has all these elements added for free for us to use. These others are in the Pro version, but we already have what we need, which are the particles. So going back in the front end here, any element we select that can be edited with the WordNet will show the net settings here. So let me refresh this page so you can see what I mean, control our refresh. And now, first of all, if I collapse everything here, we have this Power Net add-ons for elementary or pay for, or parfait free widgets. So it's now available to us if I select this section, these changes to edit section. But now notice we have this perfect option here. And if I select that, while this section is still selected, now we can come here and say particles and turn that on. Now you won't see anything here, but you'll see in the preview page. So before we change anything, let me click Update and let's preview so you can see what we have already. So preview changes. And that's what we have. So basically when we're editing these particles in the back-end, we can see them. We'll have to be switching to the front-end to see them. But we can start by reducing the number of particles because if you use too many particles, your web page will be loading slowly. But I think a 100 or a 150 is a good number. So let's make it 120. And let's change this color to maybe a blue. We'll tweak it until we get the nice blue. So I'll use that blue. I'll use that blue and I'll copy it. I'll copy that and paste it. So that's the particles color. Now, let's also change the link. Party calls color. That's these bonds that are holding the particles together. They're also read, let's turn them blue. So pasting that blue in there. Then let's update that. And let's preview the changes first. Now that's a nice color. Right now. These are circles. We can change them to be polygons or stars, edges, circles, images, anything you want, let me change them to polygons. And you can also reduce the speed. So right now, let's leave that at four. And you can choose what happens when you hover over the particles. So we can say repulse them if you hover over them. And let's update that and see the effect. Preview. Still loading. Now when we hover over them were repelling them. And that's what we've said. So right now, that's how to add those two effects, the book border effects and the particles effect. The next thing we want to do is create the next section, which is this animated section here. So we'll do that in the next lesson. I'll see you shortly. 13. Image Box Section Part 1: Congratulations, you've finished the hero section. It's time now to create the rest of the landing page. And what we want to create is this next part here. And as you can see, we have three columns, but these are just one single column, but they're all held in one section. So how do we do that? We first of all add a single column section. So I'll add a single column section here. First of all, let's add some top margin on this section to separate it from the hero section. So by selecting it, Let's go to Advanced. We move that link and then top margin of maybe 50. And now there's that space between them. Now the second thing we need to do is add a heading. So I'll go ahead and open up the basic panel and drag a heading there. I'll just copy these texts. Learn how to build your own websites. Of course, you need to type your own texts. While this is still selected. Highlight that, and paste this in there. Now we need to move it to the center. So under content alignment, push it to the center. And we can go inside Style Texts color, and change it to some dark gray like that. Notice right now, if we go to typography, it's still Roboto. And that's because roboto has been set as the global font every time we add a new text, by default, Roboto. So we will have to keep changing every time we add a new text, but we can avoid that. So first of all, let me update that. And then if we go to this burger menu and select Site Settings, go to global fonts. We can set the global fonts that we want to apply everywhere on the website. Every time any new text is added to the website. By default, it will be set to these fonts, we said here. So the primary fonts, Let's change it to Montserrat. Let's go to secondary. Let's go to text and accent. Then update. All right, so let me close that down. If we select this and go to typography. First of all, let's change that to monitor route. And if we add any new texts heading, it's going to be automatically monitor rat. So by default it's Montserrat. So let me just delete that. Alright, let me not delete it because we still need it for these scale-up today. So let me just copy that, highlight that, and then paste it in there. Changes to scale up today. While it's still selected, let's put it in the middle. Let's go inside style, typography, texts color. Let's change it to that dark blue color. So I'll select this, copy that in here. Paste that blue in there. I think I want to make this a little bit fainter. So style. Let's push this up a little bit. Click anywhere out there. Typography. Let's make this a little bit smaller. Up to that point, maybe. Then scale up today. Typography, font weights, Let's make it 800, and let's increase the size. Let's bump it up to somewhere there, and let's update it. The next thing we want to do is add these boxes here that have this nice effect when you hover over them. 14. Image Box Section Part 2: Green back in our editor. While we're still inside this section, let's select, click that icon up there. Let's drag in an intersection. And let's drop it inside that section. So the function of an intersection is to be dropped inside columns. So it adds columns within columns. As you can see, this is a column, single column, and it has two new columns inside of it. And in here we can add type in here box. And as you can see here, we have an icon box. We have an image box here by elements kids. And we have an image box that comes by default with Elementor. The one we need is this image box by elements kit. And it has this button and some texts description, title and an image. So first of all, let's add a nice image. So we'll go inside our assets folder. And we have these different images. I'll select all of them, including that one. We already have this uploaded. Now click Open to upload all of them. While these upload, Let's just choose this one and say Insert media. And there we have it. So now let's change what the heading says. While this is still selected, the body has a title. So let's change that to what does it say? Landing page design or whatever or whatever category of classes you have. So maybe this is okay, the ring. And then a short description of that category. And then for the button, we can change what it says. Learn more or get started. And it can provide a link so that when people click it there redirected to a specific place specified by the link. And we can also add an icon to the button, but we're not going to add that for now. So the next thing we want to do is style the whole image box. So starting with the image, I think we're good, but then now we have the body, a title. So let's go here to the title, and we can change the color of the title to that color. We can also increase the size if we want. Click Topography, let's increase the size to our liking. I think I will leave it at that. I liked the way the text description looks, so I won't touch that. Collapse that the button. I want to change the color background type to some faint gray. That means the texts should be dark. So topography. Wait. Texts color should be let me keep it that blue, that dark blue. I still had it in my clipboard. And on hover, the text should change to white. And the background should change to a 24. Like that. And now that it looks good enough, we can go ahead and delete that. And then duplicate this once and twice. Update that. And let's review the changes. Alright, so let's scroll downwards. Of course now you will notice that this is a basic way to present it. And actually some people like it without the drop shadow and the rounded corners that we have on this. But I want to show you how to do this. So you know how to do it, even if you're not going to do it, even if you're going to leave it like this. So let's select the column that's holding this one. And let's go to style border. Let's give it a border radius of 20. So you can see the border radius right now. And what we need to do is say box shadow. And now you see it has that rounded corner. The next thing we're gonna do is go to Advanced, give it a margin of ten. And now that pushes it away from the rest. And now that we're satisfied with that, oh, we need to do is right-click and copy. Then right-click on this column and paste this tile is applied to the paste style. And that will also have the same styles as bad and do the same for that paste style. It now one thing you will notice is that this, after adding the margin, this column has been pushed inwards on the left, but we want it to be all the way to the n on the left. And this one to be all the way to the end on the right. But this one to be pushed inwards on both sides. So for this one, we can break this link. And then on the left, we can say, we want it to have a margin of 0, and now it starts from the very start. And for this one, advanced break that link on the right. We want it to have a margin of 0. Notice here, if we remove that. But now this will remain intact, so it's pushed inwards on both sides. And another thing, let's select this column to reduce this opacity of this shadow. Go inside style border, box shadow. Let's go in here. And let's reduce the opacity to make it less intensive like that, so that it's just subtle. And then let's increase the blur size to maybe 30s, okay? And now that it's looking better, Let's do the same for these other two. Border up to somewhere there. Select that type 30. And the third one as well. Border 30. Now notice it's so intensive, we need to reduce the opacity up to somewhere. Then update that and let's preview the changes. Right? So now scrolling downwards, That's what we have. So the next thing we want to create is this section right here with this accordion. So let's see how to create that in the next lesson. So I'll see you shortly. 15. Accordion Section: And welcome back. It's time now to create that accordion section. And this here is the accordion. So notice how it's only one item that's open at any given time. So if you click another item here, The previous one closes down and the next one opens up. So let's see how to add that to our landing page. Right now, switching over to our editor, what we need to do is add a double column section. As you can see here, we have an image column and a text block column. So going in here, select a double column section. Then let's give it a margin at the top here. And I want to give it a margin of maybe a 100. So selecting that section, advanced, break that link 100. And now we have some nice spacing between the two sections. Here, I want to add an image. And while that's still selected, let's go ahead and select an image to drop in there. So let's select that and insert media. And in here we need to add some texts before adding the accordion. And one thing I've just remembered is that we did not specify what level of headings these are. So yeah, that's an H2. Let's leave it as an H2. Then they should be an H3 going to contents. Age three. And as you can see, we have different levels of headings. You can go ahead and Google to read more about what these are and how to use them best or better still, you can watch my SEO class right here on Skillshare and learn how to work with the headings on your landing pages for better search engine optimization. Check out my profile for that class. It's only 60 minutes long. Now we can go ahead and create new headings here. Like this. Or as you notice here, they are just the same headings repeated all over the website. So what we can do is basically duplicate these two. I'll duplicate that and drag it. And if you drag and reached the end of the page and it's no longer scrolling. While you're still holding down the mouse button. Scroll with the mouse wheel, and then drop it when the blue indicator appears. Let's go back in here. Duplicate the age three. Drag it while still holding it down. Scroll with your mouse wheel and drop that down there. Now while this is still selected, let's align it to the left and do the same for this. Next, let's select this icon and drag in a text editor. And by default, it has some placeholder text. For now, I'll just duplicate these texts because I'm assuming you will type your own text if you're building these landing page for a real website, which I hope you are. Now I think that's enough for me. Let's update that. Now let's go ahead and click this icon to reveal the elements wants more. And on the search widget, I will type accordion. And autofill will bring up the different types of accordions we have here. So you'll notice we have three accordions. One that comes by default with Elementor, one that's brought in by the partner login. This is an image accordion and we have an elements key accordion. This is the one we need. I'll drag and drop it there when the blue indicator appears. And now we're ready to start editing it. So while it's still selected, we can go in. The first option here under content is accordion. And these are the three that are already pre-populated with text or content. So if you click this one, will expand it. So let's click this one to expand it. And now you can type whatever you want in there and it'll change in real-time for right like that. And if you want to change the heading, of course, change the title up here. Alright, and it's changed in real-time. How do I teach in the title of that accordion? Then we can collapse that. Do the same for that. How old is the Statue of Liberty? And there we have it. And if we click that, the other one automatically closes itself. So we can also change this text. So that's pretty straightforward. Another thing you might want to know is how do I add more accordingly? So if we collapse that, how do I add more? Basically just click Duplicate icon here. And you can duplicate as many times as you want. And they will all appear here. Just make sure you change all the content in every single one of them. The next thing we wanna do is maybe we would like to change these icons. When it's active, shows an up arrow and when it's closed, it shows a drop-down arrow. So you can change these icons by clicking there. You open up all these icons and you can choose whichever you want. I'll leave them at the default setting. And now let's go inside that style. Of course, now, if we collapse this title, we have four different options. The title and the description, this text here, the border and the icon. So we can change these, for example, let's change it to a blue. And when it's open, we can change it to so now that this is open, this color orange. And when it's closed, it's this blue. You can make it any color. So if we open this now turns that color. So let's update that and see the changes. Dates, preview the changes. And there we go. So scrolling downward, our accordion looks awesome and it's working properly. The next thing I want to do is work on these counter here. Let's see how to do that in the next lesson. So I'll see you shortly. 16. Counter Section: Hey there, welcome back. So now that we've created the accordion section, it's time to create the counter section. Going to our reference page here, I'm scrolling downwards. First of all, I've reloaded the page for you to see the animations. Remember, we'll do these animations before the end of the class. So don't worry, I just wanted to show you how the counter reacts and that's how it does it. Jumping over to our editor once again, we'll add a single column section. And of course, as always, while it's still selected, go inside advanced and we need to add a margin at the top. So break that, and let's give it a 100. And now we have that nice spacing once again. The next thing we want to do is give it a nice background color. And I had given this one an orange. And the particles behind it were a dark orange, or you can call it a brown. So let's do that. While this is still selected, go to style background color. We're using classic 1524. Let's update that. And now with the background color set, let's add the particles. Go to PAF, pathway particles. Let's turn them on. And let's choose maybe something like one hundred, one hundred. And here. I'll type F 1524, but then I'll drag this downwards to make it a little bit darker like that, just so that they are a little bit darker than the F 1524. Then I'll select this, copy it, and then change the color as well to that same color. So paste it, and now they're both the same color. We can reduce the speed here too for the speed of the particles. I like it to be repulsive. But you can choose any other option you want here. And I can choose polygon here. And let's update that. And before we preview the changes, let's go ahead and add an intersection with four columns. So click that icon out their intersection. Let's drop it in there. For now. Of course by default it drops two columns. Inside this first column. Let's add a counter. So click that plus there and in here type counter. Drag it in here and drop it in the first column there. Now, the first thing we need to do is change the figures. So depending on how many, depending on what this is. For example, if enrolled students. So if you have maybe 1200 students, or if you have more than 1200 students, but within that range you can add a plus, C gel, 100 plus. And now let's go ahead and change the colors on these statistics. Let's change the color to white on the number and on the title. It's also change it to white. And you'll notice by default the fonts are Montserrat because we applied Montserrat at the global font. And now that we're satisfied with these counter, all we need to do is remove that and then duplicate this. We already did something similar to that, and that's the good thing about Elementor. So there we go. We have four counters and we can edit each individually. Before we do that, let's select the section itself. Because we need to separate this border from the content because the content is too close to the border. So by selecting the main section and then go into advanced padding, remove that link. We can increase the top padding to something like 50. And for the bottom 50 as well. Update that. In. Now let's preview the changes. Let's scroll downward. There we go. Very nice. So now each of these statistics will be about something different. So this could be, what do we have here? Years of experience, course completion rate. So we also have percentages and all that. So you can already guess that. To add a percentage, you just need to add it to the suffix. And you can say maybe 8080 per cent. Discount, discount, then 100% satisfaction guarantee. And the last one, whatever you want to make it. So let's say 700 returns students. So maybe they liked your courses so much that they came back. Let's preview the changes. Let's scroll downwards. And that's how to do it. Awesome. So the next thing we want to do is, of course, create this section, which is pretty much like this section. So let's see how to do that in the next lesson. 17. Class Project: By the end of the class, you will get a chance to reinforce what you've learned by building a web page from scratch on your own. And here's the context of the project. An online clothing store owner, let's call him John. In your neighborhood would like you to build a landing page for the new line of products. So they have new clothes products they want to sell. And they want to build a landing page for that specific new line of products. They've reached out to you because of your great web design reputation in the community. Someone told them you're very good at what you do. Now, the website they run is built with Elementor, so they will need someone who knows how to use Elementor. So build a beautiful landing page that will convert the people who visit that landing page into buyers. John has provided you with all the assets you need to add on that landing page. And by assets I mean images. To get this done, start by downloading the project assets folder in the description below, and use those images to build a website. Remember to create a sticky header to allow people to navigate the website as they scroll downwards. Make sure you have an attention grabbing hero section that has a nice conspicuous H1 statement, summarizing what the page is all about and get as creative as you want when it comes to the body section that the rest of the landing page, apart from the hero section and the footer section, play around with the various elementary elements we have not touched on in the class because you might have noticed, we did not look at every single element that element has to offer as we're building the page. Remember also to add some motion effects, the various elements your landing page, and make the web page responsive. Make it look good on different device sizes. Once you're done with your landing page, take a full-page screenshot of it using a browser extension like go full page and upload it to the project gallery. I'll have a look at all your landing page screenshots and provide feedback. And this will also give you a nice way to showcase what you've learned so far and get feedback from other students. So to get started, download the project assets dot zip folder in the description section below. Enjoy the project. 18. Featured Courses Section: So now it's time to create the section that comes after the counter, which is this section that has the latest courses or the featured courses. So going inside our editor, of course, the next thing we need to do is add a section. But because this section is so, this section is so similar to this one, Why not duplicate this whole section and then customize it for that particular part. So we'll duplicate the whole section like that. Now here we are. I'll just drag this. And then I'll start scrolling with my mouse wheel while holding down my mouse button. And when this blue indicator appears, I'll just drop it there. Now it has a margin of 50 at the top because that's what we said. For this part. I want to increase this to a 100 or maybe a 150. So selecting the section, add a one there. Now we have 150 spacing there. Then let's change these to select a course now. And now, all you need to do is come to this image box. So let's select that and the image, you can change it to whatever image that represents that specific course. Collapse that for the body, changed the title to the name of the course. For example, introduction to mechanics. And then of course, a short description. And then they can get started immediately. Remember, these are like categories of the different courses. So this can be a category four, web design and animation. So these are categories up here. But then when we come down here, these are specific courses. And because this section is holding featured courses, you can duplicate this intersection so that you have about six featured courses on the homepage. Let's update that. Let's change this to something like modeling in Blender. The third one can be JavaScript fundamentals. Let's update that. And let's review the changes. So scrolling downwards. All right, So there we go. So now that we're done with this section, let's see how to create these self-paced learning section. So I'll see you in the next lesson. 19. List Section: Welcome back. Here we go again. You will notice that this section, the accordion section, looks pretty much like this self-paced learning section. Only that we don't have an accordion here, we have a list. And so that's what we'll be focusing on for the next few minutes. Otherwise, everything else is the same. So jumping over to our editor, what we need to do is duplicate this section as well. Then I'll drag it. Once we get there, I'll start scrolling with my middle mouse wheel. And when we get there, I'll just drop it in. It comes with all the settings, including the margin at the top. And now all we need to do is first of all, reversed this with the image on that side. Then I'll remove the accordion. And now we're left with this nice text that we can edit. We can update two feet on that section. So I'll copy that. Select that, paste it in there. Copy that, select that, paste it in there. Update that. And now what we need to do is go to this icon. Click this icon. Here. Let's type list. And we have different list here. We just need the normal, nice that comes with Elementor by default. Let's drop it in there and it has an icon and some text. So let's open the list item one and let's change what it says there. So I'll just copy this basically in there. And there we go. I'll repeat the same for the two. Now you'll notice these are different icons so we can always change them. So for this one, I'll still select a tick or jet. So I'll select that. Insert for the second one. Check as well. And now we have three teeth. Update that. And let's preview changes. Let's scroll downwards and see what we got. There we go. A nice, beautiful section. Simple, not a lot of stuff there. So let's go ahead and add a nice button right here below the text. As you can see here, we have a call to action. This is the time we add this button that's in the basic panel. So let's just drag the button right below the text. And while it's still active, we can change what it says. So learn more or start. Now, it's our call to action. It's coincides style. And of course the link is here. Wherever you want people to be redirected to when they click the button, That's here. And if you want this button to open a new tab, instead of redirecting people from this page, you can always click this cogwheel and open link in new window. This will open a new tab. Now going inside style. Let's remove this padding. And that will break the default padding on the button. And then we can set our own. So on the left Let's give it a 50. And on the right the same. Then top and bottom, 1515. Let's give it a 70 on the left and right. Right. And then let's increase the spacing between the button and the text in the list here so we can select the list itself. Advanced margin, then increase the margin at the bottom. Pushed down the button, emits, reduce the margin at the top. Reduce that spacing between it and the block of text here. Update that. And let's also change the color of this button. So select this button style. Let's go to color on hover, wanting to be this blue. So let me select this text style. Copy this. Select this button style button, hover, colour. Let's paste it in there. So when someone hovers over it, it changes to that. And when someone hovers over it, we can also set when it's cylinder hover, the animation, maybe something like Bob. And that's bulb. Let's update that and then preview the changes. So scrolling downwards. There we go. Looking awesome. So what's next? So now it's time to work on the testimonial section. And as you can see, it also has the particles and some grayish background. Let's see how to do that in the next lesson. 20. Testimonials Section: Welcome back. So now we're creating these testimonials section. So without wasting any more time, Let's jump over to our editor. And as you might have already guessed, let's add a single column section. The first thing, of course, is to select it. And of course the first thing is to go to Advanced margin. Let's give it a 100 top margin to separate it from the previous section. And then let's start by giving it that background color. So go inside style, background type, classic. I'll go here and then I'll give it some gray that's close to white, not very dark. I like that. The next thing we need to do is select the plus sign in here. And you'll notice here we have this H2 and H3. So we can just simply duplicate this. Duplicate that, drop it in there. Duplicate that as well. And drop it right below the age of two. And then of course, let's push it to the center. Select that, push it to the center. And now we can add our testimonials right below them. So going to this icon, I'll type testimonials testing mole. And the one we need is this testimonial by IQ kids elements, kid light. I'll drag and drop it right there when the blue indicator appears. And by default it has this one already selected. But the one I like is this one. Go ahead and choose the one you want. And by default it's only showing one testimonial per slide. And that's because inside the settings, the slides to show is set to one. So let's set it to three slides to scroll. Of course, that's pretty straightforward. It means when you're scrolling it needs to scroll only one slide. If you have several testimonials, you can set it to two or three testimonials per scroll. And go ahead and play around with all these other settings will not go deep into that. We just want to populate each testimonial with some content. So let's close settings and go to testimonial. For testimonial number one, you can give the client a name. So designation, marketing manager, coma, maybe the company is glass window websites or something of that sort. What kind of a name is there? And then we have the testimonial review. So I'll just go ahead and copy this testimonial here. Alright, I'm not enable, alright, I'm unable to highlight that, so I'll just copy this text. Copy that. And let's paste it in here. Let's reduce it a little bit. Yep, I like that. Then let's collapse back. Go to the second testimonial. Timothy flames. She has a testimonial and let's add one more, so I'll duplicate that. And now we have two Timothy flames. I'll change the second one. That's update that. And now we have four testimonials. The reason we have four testimonials instead of three is because we also need it to be able to scroll. So it's scrolling because we have an extra testimonial to show. If you have three, there will be no scrolling. Next, let's go inside style. And if I collapse the layout, we have several settings here that we can work on. So let's start with a rating. We can change the color to go with our color scheme. Then we can also collapse that and change the quote icon. So for now, it's that blue. I don't really mind how it looks, so no problem about that. So I'm not going to touch that. Then we have the layout. Let's go to layout and the border radius, let's say, let's keep it at 20 so it has a rounded corner. Like that. Collapsed the layout. And I think I like how it looks so far. So the next thing we want to do is go inside the content testimonial. And for each testimonial, we need to add an image. So I've opened up Bennett Daimler client avatar. And we'll go inside our assets folder. I had already prepared a few images of the guys. So let's start with Bennett. Like that. Let's collapse that. It's open up Timothy flames. Let's close that. We have Barbara collapse that and we have Alexandra update that. So let's preview the changes. Scrolling downwards. There we go. Our testimonial is working, but now notice we don't have some padding up here, and of course down here. And we also don't have the particles. Let's sort that out. So selecting the section itself. Because first of all, begin with the padding. I'll break that. And then at the top, we need a 50 padding. At the bottom we need 50. So nowadays that nice spacing like that. And then let's go and add some particles. So let's switch that on. And we need maybe let's say 90. And then for the particles color, we want to give it some gray that's darker than the background so that it's visible. And let's copy that gray. Copy that. Click anywhere there. Let's paste it inside here. Reduce the speed to four, but it's all up to you. Then let's update that. Over effect. Update that and let's preview the changes that scroll downwards and see what we have. Yeah. So now it's looking much better. We can make these particles a little bit darker. They seem to be too screaming. So going inside here, I'll drag this upwards a little bit to make it faint. Copy that. Paste it in there. Update there. Let's preview the changes once more. Scrolling downwards all the way to the bottom. So now they look much better. They're not too dark. And that's how to create the testimonial section. Next, let's see how to create the call to action section that has the sign-up form before we create the folder. So I'll see you in the next lesson. 21. Call To Action Form Section: We're almost done with the content of the landing page. We now just have the call to action section that has a form and the footer. So let's go ahead and create this section. So jumping over to our editor, of course, what we need to do is add a double column section. And let's give it a top margin of about a 100100 and a bottom margin of a 100 as well. And that's because as you see here, once we're done with that section, we will need some spacing between the section and the footer. And remember, we're creating the food is separately, just as we did with the header. So I'll go ahead and update that. And right here, we can add, we can duplicate this. So I'll drag this into that column. And then let's just copy this. So click that. And then in here, I'll paste the text. Align it to the left like that. So in here, let's go ahead and add a short code. So by clicking that plus will reveal this area and we can type short code. Just by typing short filter will bring up this option and we can drop it in there. So now what we need to do is go to the backend in our dashboard and create a form. And then the form will have a short code, a tiny code that we can come in, paste in here. And the form will display right here on this section. So let's go back inside our dashboard. Let's go to Plugins and Add New because we don't have any form plugin installed yet, so we can go ahead and install. My favorite form plugin is called formulator. It just has everything I need simple to use. So I'll go ahead and type formulator. And it's by WP MU Dev with 300 thousand active installations in 948 five-star reviews. So I'll install it now. It's a very awesome plugin that I like using because many of its free features are premiums on most other form plug-ins. So it offers premium features for free. Right? So let's go ahead and activate. And there we go. It is now installed. And you'll find it almost at the bottom of this menu here. So I'll go to forming water and forms for limiters. Click for a minute or so we can go to its landing page within the dashboard. Alright, so this is how it looks. We have the option to create a form, create any type of form from one of our pre-made templates or build mine from scratch. So I'll create and we have already built forms. And we want to create a newsletter sign-up form. So I'll select that and continue. Then I'll give it a name, sign up and create. And here we go. By default, it's pre-populated with the first name and email address, then the subscribe button, and we can preview it. So the first name, email address and subscribe. I'll close that down and I'll publish it. Now we have this short code. Remember I mentioned the short code. Now we can copy this by clicking this icon here. Now, shortcut has been copied successfully. Or if I close that, you can go to these cogwheel and copy short code and we still get the same message. And with that short code copied, you can go back to our page here and paste it in here. If I apply that update changes to page, then click Update. Let's preview the changes. Scroll downwards. And there we go. A nice sign-up form that has a call to action. So what we need to do is first of all change the color of this button to rhymed with the rest of the buttons right here on the website. So let's turn it to orange. Going back inside our dashboard, inside formulator, let's go inside appearance of this form. And let's remove these borders by first of all, choosing the flat option. There are other options here, but I like flat. And then let's go to colors and select costume. We don't want to use the default colors. And for the submit button, Select. Click that button there. And let's type F 1524. And it's duplicating itself. I don't know why f h n equal. Yep. And then on hover, we want it to be maybe that dark blue. So I wanted to select that style copy back. Then going here, basically in there. So now if we preview it, yup, like that, close that. And when it's on focus, wanting to have that same dark blue color, I usually have the same focus color or active color as the hover color. Alright, so let's update the changes. Let's go back to our page. Select this form. Click Apply. All right, so let's scroll downwards the form itself. So let's click preview the changes. Scroll downwards. And there we go. On hover, eats that dark blue. Now, another thing you might want to do is maybe add or remove fields here. So this is not a four-minute a class. There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube on how to use these specific plugin to create forms. But going back inside fields, if you don't want to pick the first name of the person, you can delete that. And now you're left with the email address field only. Let's update that. And let's go to the front end. Select the Form, apply the changes once again. Alright, so let's go ahead and preview the changes. So scrolling downwards. And there we go. So now that we're done with that call to action section, let's see how to create the folder. In the next section, I'll see you shortly. 22. Help Me Teach Elementor to 10,000 Students: Hello my friend. First of all, I just want to say thank you very much for joining me in this class and choosing to learn from me. And also want to say congratulations for coming this far into the class. The fact that you've come this far into the class means you're gaining value from the class. And so I really appreciate you and I hope you are enjoying the class itself. That being said, I need your help. I'm on a mission to teach at least 10 thousand entrepreneurs like you to use elementary to build their own websites or landing pages to sell their products. And here's how you can help. You see when a new student joins a class on Skillshare and then likes that class and leave a review. It helps other students know what to expect from the class. And when a class is getting a lot of reviews from students, Skillshare says, Hey, you know what? This class is getting a lot of engagement and a lot of reviews from students. So it must be helpful. So it must be useful. And so let's push it upwards in the library to make it more discoverable by new students. So the Skillshare algorithm pushes that class upwards and makes it more visible, more discoverable to new students. Because it's been receiving positive reviews. And that's where you come in. Please join me in this mission and helped me teach at least 10 thousand students how to use Elementor, how to build beautiful landing pages, functioning websites by leaving a review in this class and letting them know what to expect from this class. It'll only take you about two minutes and you're done. But your review will go a long way in helping new students, prospective students, know what to expect from the class. Class meet your expectations. Did it exceed your expectations? If you have any questions, remember, you can always drop them in the discussion area below this video and I will be able to help you out. I always respond to every single question or comments that students leave in any of my classes. And with that being said, I just want to say enjoy the class and I'll see you in the next lesson. Peace. 23. Create the Footer: It's now time to create the footer. Before we go ahead and add the animations on the different elements on the website and also make the header sticky. So let's go ahead and create a folder first. And of course, as I mentioned a little bit earlier, will create the photo separately the same way we created the head. So I'll go and click this burger menu and Exit to Dashboard because we're done with the body content. I'll exit again. Now let's go to elements. Keep header, footer, or ride. Let's just go ahead and say Add New. In here. I'll give it a name folder. And then the type is a folder. You should be available on the entire website and it should be active. So let's save the changes. Here we go. Then let's edit. Edit content will be redirected to the front-end where we can now design it. So here we are. Now in this lesson, I want to show you how to use elements kit templates. Now, throughout the lessons, you might have noticed that I was using this icon right here. But what do these other icons do? This is the default elementor template icon. When you click that, you'll be taken to templates that have been created by Elementor. And you can also have access to your own templates if you've, if you've uploaded any. We also have blocks, blocks that you can use to create the different parts of your website. And this one here is by elements kit. So this is the one we're interested in. And I want to show you how to design how to save time by using different templates provided by some of these plugins. So as you can see, I've opened it up and I've gone directly to sections. And here we have footer templates, header sections. We have call-to-action sections, image accordion for beauty shops. A lot of templates that you can import to your page for free. So this is the one I want to import, so I'll just click Insert. And there we go. A nice beautiful photo already created for us. I want to drag this into, let me see. I want to drag these into these. I want to get rid of that. So we're left with this. And if I select the section itself and go inside advanced, you'll notice that we have 400 top margin. So I want to get rid of that because if we leave that at 400, when it gets to this point, after this call to action, Before we get to there further, we'll have a ridiculously huge space which we don't need because we already added a bottom margin of a 100 on this call to action. So now that that's set, Let's go ahead and replace this logo with our own. So I'll select that. And when you imported the template, it added some default placeholder images like this. So, so don't be perplexed and wonder what VCs. So I want to select my logo and insert media, and there we go. Very nice. You can also update this text to whatever you wanted to say. And we can go ahead and style it. So topography, change it to Montserrat. This is already Montserrat and these are useful links. You can change them to whatever you want them to say. So next thing I wanna do is change the color of this food, this background. So selecting the section itself, I'll tap into this place and I'll copy that navy blue. And I'll go in here. While this is still selected style background, paste that in there and update. I also feel like I should drag this right about there. To balance it off. Update that. Let's preview the changes. Alright, so now you'll notice that this is a subscribe. Now, get subscribed today, call to action. So that means we need a form here. And we can actually just use the same form we had created. So I'll copy this short code. And then going back in here, Let's add a short code. Drop it right below that, and then let's paste that in there. Updated. Let's review the changes or ride like that. So now that this has become taller than this, I think we should take badly social icons. I'll drag and drop them in there. And I'll increase the top margin on this text here to give it some breathing room at the top. Then let's preview the changes. And there we go. So that's how to create a folder. You can go ahead and play around with everything else, with all the knowledge you've gained so far, this will not be too difficult a task to take care of. Fact, that's a challenge to you. See how you can customize it further. Now, we want to see how the page looks entirely together with the photo. So I wanna go inside the dashboard pages. And then I want to click view on home. So we can have a look at it from the top to the bottom, scrolling downwards from the top. There we go all the way to the footer. So the next thing we wanna do now you've noticed is that the header is not sticky and these different elements are not animated. We need to add some motion effects to our elements. Let's do that in the next lesson. Before we go ahead and make the whole landing page responsive on different devices. So I'll see you shortly. 24. Sticky Header: And welcome back. In this lesson, we want to make the header sticky. So if I start scrolling, you will notice that right now it's disappearing together with the rest of the content, what we wanna do is make sure it doesn't disappear. So how do we do that? Let's go inside the dashboard and we will need to edit the header inside elements kit, header footer. So let's open that. Now we have the footer and the header. So of course, let's go inside header edit with Elementor, and I'll right-click open link in new tab so we can edit it on a new tab. I'll switch to that tab. And here we are. So of course now the header is editable. And remember one of the plugins we installed was Tiki header effects. If I could just jump quickly to the dashboard going inside plugins. We installed sticky header effects for Elementor while we were installing Elementor. So this is the time to use that plug-in. And all we need to do is select the header and go inside advanced and will find the option sticky header effects right below advanced. So let's expand that enable. And now the header is already sticky. It's just that we can't scroll this page to see it in action, but we'll see that shortly. So I'll go ahead and save this first before making any changes. And now that it's saved, I want to go inside the dashboard and let's go inside pages. This is our landing page. So right-click open link in new tab so we can look at the page in a new tab and scroll to see if the header is now sticky. Alright, so now let's scroll. And there we go. The header is now sticky, but now you'll notice that it's a little bit tall. In other words, it's taking up a lot of space while we're scrolling and we don't really need all this space. So how can we solve that? Going back inside our editor? Well, this is still selected and well we're still inside sticky header effects. Let's call downwards and look for shrink header. So activate that. And let's make it a 50 per cent. And let's also shrink the logo. Let's also make it a 50 per cent. So that means the logo will be 50 per cent, the original size. And the header height will also be 50 per cent as tall as the original. So let's update that. And let's go inside our page and let me reload it. So right-click reload. So, alright, so now let's see it. In action. I start scrolling. Weight. We need to reduce the margin on the header. So let's go back in here. Let's select the menu itself. Click anywhere within this blue element. So that's selected advanced. It's going inside margin. Let's reduce the bottom margin up to maybe 20, and the top margin up to negative 20. That's also reduce the logo size. I'll just eyeball it, maybe somewhere there. Then let's update that. Alright, so let's go back inside this page and reload the page once again. Now scrolling. Yep, So now that's a nice height. And it looks, I think it looks beautiful. So that's how to make the head of sticky. In the next lesson, Let's see how to make the header responsive. Because right now if we press Control Shift I to go into the developer tools Control Shift I, and then click this responsive mode toggle icon and clicking this drop-down menu to select a device like the pixel five, you'll notice that the header right now isn't responsive. In other words, it doesn't look good on mobile devices, on smartphones. In the next lesson, Let's see how to make this header look nice on smartphones. I'll see you shortly. 25. Responsive Header: Welcome back. Time to make this header look better on smartphones. So going back to our editor, right here, I'll click this responsive mode icon to reveal this responsive settings. And you'll see we have tablet mode and smartphone mode. So we'll be going inside these two to make it look good on those devices. It already looks good on desktop, which is where we're at right now. So let's go inside tablet mode. And that's how it looks on tablets. Remember we have two columns. If I can switch to tablet, desktop mode. Remember we have these column that's holding the logo, and we have this column that's holding the menu. So when we switched to tablet, we still have the two columns, but now they're stacked on top of each other. And that's not what we want. We want them to be side-by-side. The menu on the right side and the logo on the left side. If we switch back to the desktop mode, this whole section, the header section is a 100%, and these two columns are split into percentages. So maybe this is 90 per cent and this is 10%. So if we go back inside tablets, if we select the column that's holding the logo. Of course now, right now it's at a 100%. If we go inside here and type something like 50 per cent and hit Enter to first of all, notice that nothing happens. And that's because there is a small bug in Elementor that needs us to first expand this just a little bit for our changes in tablet mode take effect. You've noticed that when I drag this a little bit to the left, the changes have taken effect. So the first time you switch to tablet mode, make sure you first pick this side or this other side and drag it out words a little bit. That way, the changes we make in tablet mode will be visible to us as we work on them. So the second thing we need to do is select the column that's holding the menu. And let's make it 50 per cent as well. Now that pushes it to the right side because this is 50 per cent and this is 50 per cent to make up a 100 per cent. While we're still there, I'll select the menu itself by selecting these elements. And these changes to edit elements get Nav Menu. And I want to go inside the margin and break the default settings. And now that brings these bad to focus. And what we wanna do is push it downwards a little bit by increasing the top margin. Let's also increase the right margin to push it inwards a little bit like that. Now you'll notice it's dark because it's on a dark background. So I'll go inside style. Let me collapse the menu wrapper and we have the hamburger style. So I'll expand that. And inside here we have different parts to edit. The first part, we want to edit the background type. I'll click that. And then let's give it a color. That's the color we want. I think I like it. Update that. And if you want, you can also reduce this logo column further. So we can select this and make it maybe 20%. And let's make this 80 per cent. Because if this is 20 per cent, this needs to be 80 per cent to make 100%. So selecting this, and now it's back all the way to the end. Let's update that. And then with that done, I think I like how the menu looks on tablet mode. Now that we have the changes are saved, let's switch the page where we had this view. I'll reload this page, so Control R. And then I'll switch to tablet mode. So maybe iPad Air. And that's how the menu looks on a tablet. I think it looks good, but notice we have a large margin here, but right here the logo is almost touching the edge. Let's increase the margin on that side. So selecting this column, let's go inside advanced margin. Let's increase the left margin up to that point. Maybe 12. Update that. Let's also increase the top marginal little bit. Let's update that. Go inside this place, Control R to refresh. And now we have some nice spacing around. They're going back in here. It's time to make it responsive on smartphones, selecting the mobile icon. And as you can see, we need to do the same thing we've just done on the tablets. We need to make these two columns occupy a 100% by giving them different percentages. So selecting the logo column, Let's go inside layout. Let's keep it maybe 50 per cent. And let's select the menu column. Let's also give it a 50 per cent. And now the two menus are properly aligned. And because we had set them up on tablet mode, they're already looking good to some extent. Now, all we need to do is make some extra adjustments to the side menu that comes up when you click this on your mobile device, let me click this so you can see what we mean. When we click that. We reveal this menu here. Now we already have some basic settings. So first of all, if I collapse the menu wrapper, we have the mobile menu logo. So this whitespace up here is for a logo for this smartphone menu. So going back inside content, you will notice we have a section here from mobile menu settings. So opening that we have mobile menu logo, if I say Choose image, you can add a logo for that menu. And I had already uploaded this logo. Go ahead and upload yours. And I'll click insert media. And if we click this, now we have that logo appearing there. If I close that, that logo is different from this logo because notice this is, this has white text and it says courses. And if I open this says templates. So it's a completely different logo from the one we uploaded for the main logo. So keep that in mind. The next thing we wanna do is edit the margin around this logo because notice here we have some nice spacing, but right here it's almost touching the edge. So we go inside style, mobile menu, logo, margin. Let's break that default margin. And on the left, let's increase the margin. Like that. I think I liked the position already. I won't go too far. But go ahead and play around with these settings to see how creative you can get with yours. The next problem we want to edit is this close toggle button. And we do that by going inside hamburger style opening that we have the hamburger toggle. If I close this, that's this one. The hamburger toggle is this one. And if we open the menu, the side menu and scroll downwards, we also have the closed toggle. Now, that's this one. So we can edit the background type when it's in the normal state. And we can give it a color, that color. And on hover, we can also give it a color, but when you're using a mobile phone, you don't hover your finger over icons. You basically just touch them. So I don t think this makes any sense. So I'll just leave it just the way it is. Let's update that. On a hover, these colors are looking good, but if you want to change them, you can always come, let me close. That. Can always come to menu items, sub menu item. All those settings are in these three panels. So go ahead and check them out and see how creative you can get with that. With all those changes saved. Let's go inside our page right here. And so now if we refresh this page, Control R, and switch to any smartphone device like the pixel five or maybe the iPhone 12s are many, looks awesome. And if we open the sidebar, that's how it looks. Let's switch to pixel five and see how it looks. Let me close that. This is how it looks on pixel five. Let's switch to, let me see Samsung Galaxy. And that's how it looks on Samsung Galaxy. And that's how to make the header responsive on tablets and smartphones. In the next lesson, Let's see how to make the rest of the content responsive on those devices. Before we conclude the class, I'll see you shortly. 26. Responsive Body Section: Welcome back. It's now time to make the rest of the content responsive on tablets and smartphones. So going back inside our dashboard, before we go inside the dashboard, remember, this is where we were editing the header. So now we're done with this part. We can go ahead and Exit to Dashboard. I already have the dashboard open right here. I'll just go ahead and close this page because we're no longer using it. Now close this page because it will be coming back here to view how responsive the page looks. So I'll go ahead and close this down. I had some pages open. Going back in here. What we wanna do is edit this page with Elementor because we're making the main body content responsive. And I'll switch to that tab. And here we are. Now of course, the first thing we need to do is click this responsive mode. I can reveal these three modes. Then let's switch to tablet mode. Here we are. Remember I mentioned that when you first switch to tablet mode, the tablet mode changes, be set, will not be visible. So if we grab this and pull it slightly, the changes we had already made will be visible. That's a small bug that I've noticed in Elementor. It's not such a big deal because this is how your website will look on tablets, not the way it did just a moment ago. And now that we have these, the first thing we need to do is I like making these columns a 100 per cent in width. You might want to leave them at 5050 per cent, but I just like picking this one going inside the column width under Layout and making it a 100% like that. And then select that, the text itself. And let's push it to the center. Now you might want to resize it depends on your preference. So if we go inside style typography, you might resize it like that. And now this space is too big, so we can go inside the section itself. Then advanced. Let's break this padding like that. And that already looks good. You might want to increase that padding at the top, but I'll leave it like that. Then let's select this text. Go inside style, align it to the center. Then let's select these buttons. Now you'll notice if I align them to the center, it's not working. And so one way to get around that is to just increase the margin on the left. So while they're still selected, go inside advanced margin. And then let's increase the margin on the left atom, maybe 50, let's say 120. I think now they're on the center. So I'll update that. It's all about getting creative. Sometimes you might hit brick walls and you need to get creative and find ways to overcome your challenges. So let's select the image. Notice it's still at 50 per cent width. So let's select the column and give it a 100 per cent. And now it's at a 100 per cent. And one great thing about elementary is that it allows you to conditionally reverse the order of these columns depending on the device that the user is viewing it on. So right now, it's the textblock first, then the image, but we can reverse it when someone is viewing it on tablet. If I select the section itself and go inside advanced responsive, we can reverse columns on tablet or on mobile. Let's do it on tablets. If I select that. Now, they're reversed. It's the image first, then the textblock second. And if we go back to desktop mode, they are still in their original order. So they are conditionally now set to reverse depending on the device switching to tablet, you still have this bug. But if we expand this a little bit, now we're viewing the end result. So that's that I'll say update before we lose any changes in our scrolling downwards because we're done with the hero section. I think everything looks good on this section. Apart from the fact that these columns are too close to the edge. So I'll select the whole column that's holding them. Go inside advanced. Break this padding, and we want to give it a left and right padding of 20. So on the left and on the right just look at the right, a 20th. So now we have some nice spacing there. Let's go ahead and select this column. Let's repeat what we just did. I like it at a 100% for the textblock and this 100 per cent. So selecting this column a 100%, then select this text, align it to the center. This one as well. Please text as well. Going sides, tile, line center. This is the accordion. We can align it. So let me just collapse that. I think it looks good just the way it is. Only that we need to select this column once again and give it some nice padding on the right and the left. So let's break that. The standard is 20. Now we have some nice padding all around it. Let's give this a 100% width, right? Just like that. Then we have the counter. Of course now these digits look too big, so I'll select the first counter. Go inside style typography, maybe a 40. So what I can do is copy. Then paste style. That will just paste the size we have. Paste style. I really don't like the way these texts is jumping to the next line. I wish maybe it was satisfaction, just simply satisfaction. And for this one, let's go inside content or just students. And now they're all in one line. But the thing is, once you remove some texts from them, even in tablet mode, even on desktop mode, you will still have removed them. Those are some of the changes that take effect on all the modes. So keep that in mind. Going back to tablet mode. Let's expand it a little bit. Alright, so let's move on to the next section. By now you already know what we need to do. Selecting the column coincide advanced, left, 2020. And now we have some nice spacing. Otherwise, everything else looks good already. Right here, of course, a 100%. Based on a 100% as well. Let's also make sure we give it some nice padding on the left and right. 2020. And we can center this nice as well. Style align, center. We can't align these, but I think they're already looking. Good. Start now the button itself, we can push it to the central like that. Let's update before we lose any changes. Let's continue scrolling. The testimonials. Look good. Let's give this a 100%. Let's select the texts, align it to the center. Select the column here, a 100 per cent. While it's still selected, advanced 2020. And I think it looks good now. So let's update that. Now. The part that's remaining is the folder. And to make the photo responsive, we do the same thing we did with the header. So we go inside elements kid light, header folder and edit the Elementor footer in the front end. Try to make it responsive on the tool devices. So at this point, I want to leave that to you as a challenge, followed that process and make the photo response C. So switching to our responsive mode page, Let's look at these devices. Let's try to mimic a new device. But before we do that, let's Control R to refresh the page for the changes to take effect. Now you'll notice that everything is properly aligned except the buttons. Let's scroll downwards. As we check on every other part. Everything looks super awesome except these two buttons. So let's see what to do about them. So going back in here, first of all, let's switch to mobile view. Select the two buttons. Then let's break the margin. Or mobile phone. If we go inside, tablet mode, still look good. And immobile mode, they look good as well. So let's update that. So all you needed to do was select the buttons and break the margin. So now coming back in here, Control R to refresh the page. Awesome, so I like how it looks. Now, our page looks much more presentable on tablets and smartphones, as well as desktop. Let's go ahead and animate these different elements so that when someone visits the webpage for the first time, as they scroll, the different elements appear in an animated fashion. Just to improve the user experience. Let's see how to do that. In the next lesson. I'll see you shortly. 27. Add Motion Effects: Hi there, Welcome back. Our landing page is now completely responsive on the different devices. But one more thing that we need to do is add some motion effects to our elements on the page that will make the page more interactive and improve the general user experience. So going back a desktop mode, while we're still here on the editing page. Let's go ahead and animate this part first. So selecting these column. Let's go inside advanced motion effects. And now this is the default, so there is no motion effect. If we click the drop-down menu, we have several different types of motion effects. We have fading, so that's the fading. We have zooming. We have bounds. For this hero section. I like the fade in effect and we can change the speed or duration here. So I like it being slow, like that. And I'll repeat the same for this column. Go inside. Advanced motion effects, fading, and then I'll make it slow. Alright, so let's update that. And let's preview the changes. So notice how it will fade in slowly, just like that, going back inside our editor. Now we can do that for every single element on this landing page. So going back to this page, let's select this column that's holding the first category here. Go inside advanced motion effects. This time I want sliding or bouncing, sliding, right? No sliding left. Like that. And for this one, I wanted to slide in Wright. Advanced motion effects. Sliding right? And for the middle one, it can sliding downward. Motion effects. Or maybe you can just fade in slowly. Let's also go back into this. Motion effects. Slow. I like it coming in slowly. Same case applies to this slowly sliding. Update that. And let's preview the changes slowly fading like that. And those sliding slowly like that. Let's move on to this one. But of course, remember it's all about your creativity. We have so many options in here. And so the different motion effects you select will determine how awesome your page will load to new users. So moving on to the third one. Select this. Advanced motion effects. Maybe zooming. No, that's fading. Go to zooming. This one is well advanced motion effects. Zooming, update. And so I'll go ahead and add some motion effects for the rest of the elements on this page. But I'll fast-forward this part because I'm just repeating the same process over and over all the way to the bottom. So I suggest you go ahead and be creative. Let's see what you'll come up with. So next, I want to select this. So I've just finished and I've saved the changes. Alright, so let's just scroll downwards and see what I've come up with. Oh, right. There we go. So that's how to add motion effects to your landing page. As I've mentioned, get as creative as possible and see what you'll end up with. And that marks the end of our class. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed putting it together for you. And if you have any questions, go ahead and reach out to me. Before you leave. I have a few final thoughts and I'll share them in the next and final lesson. I'll see you shortly. 28. 25 Outro: Congratulations on completing the class.
