1. Welcome: Once you become a web designer, but you don't know where to start. Hi, my name is Maya and I'm here to show you how you can design a website with no coding. Nolan. With this tutorial, you will learn how to make your first website, google used to eliminate or probe builder to build this website together. Remember that before taking any project for a client, you should learn all the techniques. You should learn the fundamentals of UX and UI and also learn a tool to fifth house good design the website. Also, don't forget that you should have your designed for Folio so that the client could choose to work with you. That's why I'm here to help you learn how to design a website with no coding skills. In this tutorial, we will go longer and, and the fundamental of UX and you. I will also go over the brand thing and then we will go over how to set up your hosting domain and SSL. I will look to you through WordPress. And then we will start with the practice of design header footer, and the page of the website needs at the empathy this course, you will be carefully prepared to start your journey as a web design disrobe can give you a lifestyle that you ever wanted. Is that working as a freelancer on your own terms or in a big company, we'd allowed our opportunities. Thanks for joining me and I'm looking forward to seeing you in my class. 2. Lesson 1 - Fundamentals of UX/UI: Before we start with the process of designing, we should learn the fundamentals of UX and UI. Ux means the user experience on our website, and UI means the user interface of our website. User experience, or how the clients, users that are willing to use our websites are going to have on our website. And user interface is the look and feel of the website. Before we take any project for the client, it's always better to first start to and make a prototype or a wireframe on a two Lake Figma or Sketch or Adobe Eco Z, and we should do the wireframe of the website. Why is that? Because we need to understand how the user is going to interact with our website and we need to know. The main goal of our website is that for someone to buy something if it's e-commerce store, or it's only a contact form that we want the user to, to use them, send us a form or we want someone to subscribe to our newsletter, whatever the main purpose of our website it is, then we need to know what is the easiest way for the user to use the website and go from one to another page on the website that is calling the user and experience on the website. And when we talk about the user interface, we should know what kind of colors we are going to use. What kind of topography is that? The right typography for that kind of website. Then we need to know the logo and also the shaping of the website for the buttons and maybe the spouse of damages and also the images that we should use, or maybe graphics that we want to use on the web. Those two work together and we need to know both of them so we can design a website. So now when we know the fundamentals of the UX and UI, Let's go to the next lesson and prepare for our website. See you there. 3. Lesson 2 - Preparation/Branding: Before we start with the designing of the website for if we have a client that we need to make a website for them, then a day even. Then, either way they should give us old the branding if they already have it, or we should do to branding for DevOps site, or if we're doing our website, we shifted to branding for it. And also if we are doing the website for your client, have in mind that they should give you all the copy before we start with the designing process. If you're doing for yourself, dad, then you should probably have it for you. Now, first of all, what I want do is to find the right for my website and the colors and the fonts that I'm going to use. So first of all, I'm going to come back and I'm going to logo. I have probe. That's why I can use anything. If you don't have a pro, you will see that you cannot use anything of this, but you should find something that will feed q. You can use some of these templates that they already have, or you can do it from scratch for your website proposed or branding for something. So I will go to flowers and I would like to give up website for a flower decoration. And let's see what we have here. And look, we can use I won't lose much more time in choosing something. And that's why I see this logo and I like it. And I don't have a name for my website for dispose. So I will just leave it like violet flower garden. And I will, and I will rename them this flower, the whole creation. Now we can see that they use a brown color for this proposed, but I would like to change the color and let's go and find a color. You can use Canva color palette to generate color palette. Or you can use colors that coal to generate a color palette for your or for any other rending that you're going to use. Let me just show you this as the generator for two colors. And this is the color palettes. And you can start the January there or explore trending palettes. As you can see here, how many saves we have, and choose the right for your, for your project. Now for the color palette, Let's say we have the name of our logo, we style it and let's say we can go with the same color, maybe some violet. Explore more combination. Employee can find something nicer. What I will do now is go to colors, and I will search here for violet color because we already have the name of our a logo there as violent, Let's do the same branding. And from here, I can choose this palette. I like it. It has more lighter color and Lambda darker, and I will go with the darker or a logo because it needs to send out. And we will use the other colors for duress, both the VIP set and I will change. And you can see that all hears change to change. The same color for the text. And we have it. And now I think that this font and I will go to, I will go with a leg up. I like it. And for the flower decoration you as the slop its k. Now we have the fonts and we have the logo and the colors also. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to duplicate this page and I'm going to delete well, this sorry, I'll pick this lines. And what I'm going to do is to leave it this here and make it a little bigger. Just like this. And this is going to be our icon or favicon for our website. And the next thing that I'm going to do is to go to Download transparent background. We don't want to have any background on our logo and image and then compress files and all two pages. If you don't have the pro version of KM of Canva, then you can go to any other Beck from remover website and remove the background of your logo if you want to have your logo with transparent background. And then that looked after we have the two of the images that we need, the logo and favicon, we can go to our next lesson. See you there. 4. Lesson 3 - Domain, hosting, SSL: Next thing that we wanna do is to have a halting or a home for our website as we call it, also a domain and SSL. Now, every website needs to have a cell and be secure. So first of all, I'm working with named Chip. Every time. I loved their interface, I love Dear user experience. And also what I love with them is their customer support. They have 24, 7 customer support, life chat. Did you can go and ask them to help you. Basically everything that you have problem with. So they're always here to help you in any way. That's why I use them. Also, they're very cheap to use them if you are doing this for your site or if you're working for a client site that you can just let them know if you'd like them to or not. You can go and choose GoDaddy or maybe a host finger. But also what I have noticed in working with named Chip and other hosting providers is that I don't have any problems with my website, never. In cooperation with GoDaddy. They have like old times of websites are down, down with their, with their hosting probably because there, they have too much clients and too much people that are using the rehosting. That's why it isn't. It's down all the time. When we go to domain, you can see domain name search transfer, everything that you can do here. And you can register a domain here. And you can see how cheap is it to register a domain for a year than instead the second year? You can take a domain for the whole year for just $6. And what kills I want to deal here is that they have different Haas things that they're offering like sure it worked, press reseller, dedicated service, and any others. And also they have a private email that I'm also using and I'm very satisfied. But now what we do is that I'm using they manage a WordPress hosting. And why is that? Because first of all, it's so easy to set up everything. Second of all, you don't have to go to your cPanel and do a def kind of different things. You can see that they have three different plans and if you go to monthly, it's only five or nine or 14 per month. And yearly it's only 50, almost $15 per ear. And almost every time I work with the turbo plan. Why is that? Because as you can see here in the turbo plant, we already have free SSL, include it and we don't have to buy separately SSL icon and connected with the, with the hostel. It's a double work and it's a double costs for me or for anyone else. That way. Also, it's muted. They have a CDN that's provider in every space of the earth. So they have your website in there and each place them on the whole planet. So when someone is trying to open your website, did it opens right away and it's not waiting to load from the other country or that kind of stuff. So it's much faster. And then they have good visitors per month number. And also you can use the supersonic if you wanted to have an e-commerce site. But I think that those WHO for an e-commerce site, the turbo plan is also good. So I basically go with this and I will now show you how you can do it too. So aldol bill monthly and try for free. As you can see, the first month is also free, and then from the second month, you start paying for this hosting. So try for free. And I will go the same process and show you how you can do all this. So the next step for us is to create an account and give me a second and just follow the step and create an account for you. And when you leave your payment details, they're not charging your right away at them after one month. Then you're taken here. Here you can say you can leave your website name or violet. And then you can choose in which category are you going to be here. So if you're a bank, just sale or showcase creative work idea in the book, website for businesses, personal website, I will have Upstate farm business. I plan to do, as we've talked about, a website for flower decoration. And then just click Continue. And from here you can have a free domain. You can connect your whole domain or domain on another provider. And from here you can transfer, transfer from one to another provider, your domain. Right now I'm good to go with the free version of the domain. And if you still don't have and you will buy it after-death, I will show you how you can change it from insect and then click Continue. And from here, it can just write the weight one. What team would you like to have on your website? I will just go continue and I will change it dear. And here is giving you is giving you a chance to choose if you want to install practically for dam to instill on your WordPress website, some of these plugins, I will go continue. I don't use any of this. We are going to use WooCommerce in some matter. Tutorial. Right now we're not doing a word. Wordpress will commerce website, so does click continue. And here you can check your detail. So violet that domain name, our monthly plan, and the team that we use continue to purchase. And we can see that our website is live. And from here we can go to manage or WordPress admin. If you, if we go to Manage, let me just explain you click quickly this will here we have the backups, pile integration, the storage, and the updates. And you can see here where it says domain, we can change that. And when we have domain and we click your domain name chip, then here we will have available domains that we can choose from and just click Change and it will change it right away. And as we can see, we already have our SSL certification and enable it. And our website is secure and our status, that is only if we don't have this, then we will have the chance here to add to our SSL. And that is a totally different process that we're going to talk some other time. Let me, before we go to the WordPress admin, let me show you that if now we go to name chimp. This is our main account here and named Chip, definitely did before. And you can see that we don't have any domain right now. If we go to apps here, we can find our hosting for our workflows website. And this is an easy WP and if we click on it, then Google be sent right to them. Place where we were before. This is it. So from here you can find if you have private e-mail hosting links are some profile and other things. But let's now go to WP admin and to our next lesson. 5. Lesson 4 - Getting Started with WordPress: Now we are in our WordPress dashboard in from here, what we have and what we can see. Let me explain. We have the welcome message and if we open the drop-down from here, we can the check or uncheck what we wanted to have here. And first of all, we have the activity, events and news and site helped off a roof website. And you can see that it's clean. We don't have almost anything here. We have two updates. And here are the updates that you are going to have when we have, when you have any new update and just clicking Select All and update Teams. It's going to do the update of your teams or plugins if you have. We can see that this is the dashboard and from here we have Red away to pasts, media pages, comments, uh, periods, plugins, users tools and settings. Now let me explain. And from here we can see the clear catch and we will go over dance at the end of this tutorial. What their post types. So we have both and you can see at new categories and tax. If you're doing a website like blog posts, to have a lot of blog posts like tutorials or something similar. You can do the post from here and you can have categories of data. If you want to separate dam like news, travel, whatever you're going to ride up out and check when you're doing the pose to be separated, the category that they want to be, their posts are different from the pages. Pages are the main pages that we have on our website and they usually show up here. I'm going to show you now on the website. And those are the pages. And the posts are typically only text and maybe one picture. Comments. If we have India periods we can find here to Teams and also the customized, this is the main Customize of the WordPress. And you can use these or I use every time we're element or two to do all those changes because everything is possible there. And you can see now here we have the pages and this is the name of our website and just another website. And the team that they have install it already for us. From here you can change, input the logo. Again, I'm doing all that from Elementor and I will show you in a minute, I will just remove this and come. Ok. And then from here you can choose the color and the pending defending prompt. The team declare using. It's what kind of choices we have here to change or add or delete here. For the header, the footer, menus visits, all that kinda stuff. And I will click Publish because I'm not going to use this team and we don't have to make any changes here. And then we have widgets. We did. I only use them when I'm doing a look website and in any other ways I'm not using them. And then we have the menus. From here. We're going to do the menu for our website. And from the plugins, we're going to install what we need. And users, if you have, let's say a shop, users, when they make an account, they will appear here. Or if you have a subscribed for or if you have any other rule in your website, someone that she's going to help you tools, it's for import and export. Don't touch it if you don't know how to work with it. And when we go to settings, from here we can see the address e-mail we are using. If we have a new rule you can set up here. Anyone can register if you don't click this, no one can register to your website. The language, date and time for it. And this short tutorial Uriel. In this short tutorial, this is the basic of the WordPress and what you can do this. But let's go to the next lesson and let me show you how to install the team, how to install all the other plug-ins that we are going to need. And then start with the rest of the work and see how we can do the design here. Let's go there. 6. Lesson 5 - Installing theme and plugins: Okay, So as we talk in the lecture before, I would like to go now to our periods and teams. And I usually go and work with two teams that I like most. Those are asked trap or cadenza team. Much of the designers were recalled. So we'd Hello Elementor because it's very compatible with Elementor. But I really like to use we cut in se or Astra dot plus 0 plus teams are that even know you don't meet their free to and use in meaning that let's say Astra have a plugin and you can install it and you have like, I don't know, 50 teams that you can use for your projects like already down teams. You can change whatever you like, text, colors, everything of that, and use them. Also with cadenza, they have a smaller, I don't know, maybe 810 teams that you can choose from. But I also like their structure and their speed in the website, how they're how they're acting. So I will right now go with Astra team and go install. And you can see when you click on add new, you can see right away that they are in the popular team, like the ones that those three teams are by default teams for WordPress and there all the time, install deer, but you can anyways, deactivate them. I mean, delete them. And you can see also a was working with ocean WP team. It's another good team. And you can see here what everything else you can use Procore and then go Activate. And you can see now we can go team details. And here we have the leap, okay? And we don't need them. And if you click decide helped from time to time and you have them here, it will tell you delete or your teams that you are not using or delete or plugins that you are not using. And that's why I don't want to have them. Here. Again, n, I think that I must leave one team. Because if it's something wrong with this team and the site is down that these very rare case to have something like that. And if you cannot get back the site with the seam, then it will automatically go, go to them, go to another team that you have installed here. Now let's go and if the customizer here just wanted to show you the difference before together a team that we have installed before. And this one a, you can see that Astra, by default they had a sidebar. And here we have the widgets that, that was telling me that I'm not using them. That's why when we go here, you can see the global. It'll tip over a few colors container. And then we have bought those. I'm not touching anything from here. And when we go to, let's say header builder from here, you can change the logo and the menu. I will do that again, that would pull a mentor. And then we have the sidebar here. And I'm going to say no sidebar. Let's go back. And then we have the footer, also site identity, DCIS put a logo, menus, visits, and Homepage Settings. And from here we're going to, okay, we're going to change this leader because we don't have our homepage and this we're going to select only select nothing else. And we have a static page. If you have website, then you can go to you'll lead us force post or something like that. Let's go Publish. And then I'm going to leave out of here. And the next thing that I want to do is to come to the plugins, install plugins. You can see that we have Hello Dolly. We don't use this M and we'll delete it right away. And this is for this problem, let it be there for this period. And let's say at NYU, first of all, I'm always installing it's Elementor. Elementor. If you want to use a probe builder and will leave a link down below from where you can take it. It won't cost you any much more than the right prices of the Elementor. And please don't go and buy from somewhere else from someone else that is going to tell you that this much cheaper and that's just a fake. And you will have a problem in future if k1 t is at the pro, don't buy it from the main website or filament or F naught, then just don't use the pro version. And I'm going to still it now. And as you can see here, they have a lot. Plug-ins that can help you build something with element floor if you're using free version. And you don't want to pay for the pro version, then you can use the atoms, premium atoms. Those are all free book, just the name premium atoms. And then also for the header and footer, because even the free version we cannot do the header and the footer with Elementor. And I'm going to explain later. Why not? And why is that not possible? Anyways, you can just some of these plugins to help you if you're not using the pro version. Next, what I wanted is to come here. And two, right now, I want to download all the plugins that I will need for disrupt build because I don't want to forget something and I will just installed them and not forget some of them. And then let's say we're going to use Rank Math for the SEO for our website. And they would like to install it right now. This is direct plugin. Also. If you're going to use element or pro Dan, element or half forums. And right now they have, they have a submission center. You can see all the submissions right here under Elementor. When we have the pro version, we will have here an option for submissions. And then we don't have another plugin for a contract forum or 40 subscribe for. And also at the same time we will receive the same forms in our email that Google leave dear. But if you are not using the pro version that we will, we will need another plugin. Death can give us that option for now. I will go skip now and I will, I think that returned to dashboard. Let's not lose our and I'm connecting. This is the dashboard authoring math. As you can see, you can monitor some of your pages, are four or four or are not working. Then we have also the analytics that they're going to, to get up. We're going to have images, SEO, link, link counter. You can see this in our next lesson when we do the DSU white, all of this is structured like this. And how you can do the, the right is T0 for your pages. Also, if we come back to the plugins and knew the plug-in that you and use for your contact forms if you don't have Elementor Pro is for forming out. It's an excellent plug-in that is, pre, this is the one. It's an excellent plugging that you can use for you can even take payments. We did. It's only a pro version. You can buy it only if you want to have signature in your forms or something like that. But anyway, you can use in a lot of things the four-minute or conduct form or your proposed, you can also instill commerce if you were doing a shop and go over it because aids. A lot more things to explain there. And maybe I will do another tutorial, how you can use WooCommerce and how it can help you with your sales and how we can set up full depth. One other thing that I want to add here is a cookie nodess clicky not this plugin. This is the one that is popping up when you go in some website letting them know that they're eating cookies and they should accept them or not. And that will tell you can also find and install a cookie policy reader here. I just, if you don't have the right generator for cookie policy or your client doesn't have deer are a lot of free website. Then you can generate then you can, that you can drain the privacy policy terms and conditions and AD are legal private page that you will need on your website and you're just going to copy the text and put it into the page and not have much more plug-ins here, the last thing that we wanna do is to the pro version or fulfill a mentor. So you can, if you already have lot delimiter pro version, just go Add New Up Plot, plugin, choose file, and just choose to or element or profile, and then open and install. Now, now that we have our plugin, install it here you can see that we already have dismisses here will come to element or Pro Connect and activate. And also you can go from here, connect to inactivate or element or license. And from here, we can also go connect and activate, and then just activate, and that's it. We have our element or install it and activated here. And now we can go to our next lesson and see what we have there. 7. Lesson 6 - Setup pages: Now that we have all the plugins that we're going to need for this simple website. Let's start with doing the pages of the website. And I, again, I'm going to tell you a thing. If you have your own website, what kind of pages? So our homepage is the main page, the landing page, however you want to say it. When every wanted that lands on the page first of all length there. And then if it's business, well, most of them are business really to phages them, we will probably need to have About page and also we will need to have maybe services if it's if they are service providers. Or maybe we're going to have shop. If it's a shop and then a contact page is a mosque. And then we need to have, let's say maybe portfolio. If you're a graphic designer or maybe I don't know, content creator, whatever you want to say it. And maybe we can have a gallery depending what the business is about. And if you're working for a plan, they probably already know what kind of faded they want to have on the website. Or if it's your own website, you will also know how many and what pages do you want it to have funded website. So basically what we need to go and to do the pages, let me just mention you mentioned and tell you deaf in both ways. If you're doing your own website for the first time or you are doing a client's website for the first time, the property is to, first of all, a go and do coming from page. Or if you're doing a rebranding for another website, you can do a maintenance mode. It's easier to do with Elementor Pro. You just have to go to Elementor tools. And from here you can go to maintain and small. And from here you can choose smooth. You can see coming soon and maintainers. And when you choose one of them, then you go here and if you don't have already designed that, you're coming soon page you can create now here, or you can go to Pages Edit with Elementor. And we showed you in the next lesson due to the design of the coming soon page. Come here, choose the right page and click save changes. That way anyone that comes to your website will see to come soon page and there, and then there you should probably explain that your website is coming very soon. Maybe ask for their email address or leave your social media and asked them to follow you dear, so they know when your website is like. But now let's go and do two pages. What we wanna do is to go to Pages, Add New. And from here we can see this is by default the Gutenberg style of WordPress. And you can also do a design from here. You know, but, uh, right now I'm going, this is explaining you. Welcome to the block, how you can do everything. Get to know where you can find something. I will just delete it and from here you can app title and then click Publish, but give me a stick and Olympic come back. I wondering aware that we're going to have be just here. But I'm worried now. Go and make this to the trash also the sample page. I will just put it into the trash. And we have the privacy policy as draft. Do a quick edit to, and from here, I will make it the publish it because we will need it for the footer menu just for an example. And then we'll click Update. And you can see that we already have created here contract block and about. And I will now here make the homepage so I will just write home. And hearing the right corner, we can see the beach visibility and when we want to publish it, then we have template. This is default. We can select element canvas. This is, we select element or Canvas for. I will show you in the next lesson for the coming soon page eats. We doubt the header and the footer element or full within is from one to another aside and the team, so it just leave it by default. The slug we have at home, future image. We didn't put anything here. We basically prevent future image only for the blog posts. And we don't touch anything of this and just click publish. And then we can click on this or a slogan that they have here. And we can see now that we have the home contact. And about. And I will maybe add another one that is a gallery. Because we are right now flower the curation company and I wanted to showcase how I am doing the curation permanent clients I mean, or my client form to show there the creation style and then click, Publish and come back. And we have HM, gallery content block and about. And probably we need to have a services, services or project. You know what, I'm going to make this service? And what we want to do with this speech services. And what we wanna do is this page is that we are going to on this page, we're always showing our services and maybe the prices for the services. If we wanted the client to know, if not, then we are just showing them and ask them to contact task for a quote or something similar. And the gallery, and yeah, they'll say gallery. And now that we have this, and I will add one new. Just so it's not only the privacy policy term, conditions. And I will click Publish. And now look, we want to do is to go back to a periods and then the menus. We have already our primary menu. If we don't have it, you can always create new here. I think that disciplines because we installed the team before we started with WordPress, before it installed the team, but not the pages or something like seemingly similar, like menus and all those things. And now we have home is custom link. And now we want to add the home. And we want to add gallery and services as we don't have them here and up to menu. And now a home as custom link, I will remove it. Flipped my home, as you can see, just drag and drop where ever you want it to be about. And then I will go services, it's always the best to global them about that then what we so this is the structure into homepage. We list all of the things that we want to say, like call-to-action, our services, maybe some images and add our call to action and we will see how we will structure it right there. And then the next thing that we want to have fwrite to home, we want to have de about, let the people know about who you are and what you do when your private life and what you want and you don't like, get the people to know you, build trust. And then we lose the services and we offer what we offer there. And then we can have the gallery because we wanted to show what we are doing. So they can probably convince themselves that we are the right person for them. And then we have black and contact and block is usually use a use in this kind of paper. Pages, websites just for DSU propose because with the blog post we can attach more clients. And then we have the contact. And we can see it's already checked as primary menu. And we can click Save. And then we probably have secondary menu. Let's see what we have is that the footer, those are our social media links. I didn't use this leg this, so I will just delete the menu. And I will create a new menu that's going to be Footer create menu. And here we are adding terms and conditions. Let's give you about privacy policy. Enter some terms and conditions. And I will check this footer menu and save even though this is not changing anything because I'm doing the header and the footer with Elementor. So anyway, footer has been updated and the last thing that I want to do is to go to customize and just check and see if my new homepage is checked. S. In the homepage settings, you can see LA disposed and now I'm putting it a static page. And from here, choosing a homepage, only the homepage and click families booklets loop just go over as T. We don't have anymore sidebar. And then we want to click Publish. Come back, and let's go to the next lesson. 8. Lesson 7 - Starting with Elementor and Default colors and typography: We did, we did our pages look, we wanna do next is to make our site density. As I told you already, I use the Elementor Pro futures for global colors, global phones, and also for the logo setup, an icon. That's why if we go to Elementor, you can see down here we have templates. And we can use, if we go to save templates from here, we can add new or import. And we can see here level digits if we have. But also we can do pay just sections if we want to save it and we can do pop-ups and then we'll have the team builder from here. From here you can see all the pages that you have, or here are the examples that we can do. Header footer or single post. Our hip search old Afghanistan fluorophore. And the next thing that we have from here is that we have lending pages. If we click here a new page, lend pitches like also like the calming soon page or any other page so that you can use without necessarily needing to be connected with the whole page. Family have kids, library from here. Much easier if you want to just pick up something and use for your clients or for your own. And due to changes. If you open some of them, you can see that this is the full page done already done for you. With the things that you can change. The header, images, call to actions, how the whole page is structured. And if you go to overview and you can see all the pages right away or view demo. And you can choose if you want to use that or not. But don't forget that this is only if you have a Pro version of Elementor or even extended if you, of course you have few free, but most of them are in pro version. Okay, what I want to do now is to set up my default and global color and phones and all deaf and I'm going to go and view. And so I don't do 2 times the same work. I'm just right away going to go to the header, the header. And you can see here that you can select page section within the page pop-up, header food or a single post page of search results or error. And I'm going to header and I'm going to name it header. That is obvious. And from here I'm going to set up all the necessary settings that I need. And by default, elementor is going to save it as default. And I will have here after that. And I need to go again. Then I will just save it. Then I can continue working on my header and everything else that I mean. So just go and create template. You can do this only if you have pro version for the header and footer. You're going to have this option for, for the free version. And here we have different headers that you can use or take inspiration from. But I will for now close this. And from this left corner you can see d element or global settings. You can scratches out. You can make it smaller as you want. And here we have global budgets. If we have, we're not using your debts. And from here, you can see eliminate the risk right away knowing that we're on the header section. So we have the site logo, your page title, search sitemap, and the menu. If we're doing the header and then we have them basic, this is everything that we have in free version. Then this is everything that we have in pro version and in general, things that we have here. So now what I wanna do to set up my global settings is go to this hamburger menu here. And you can see the site settings from here. And then we have global colors. And those are the primary global colors that every Elementor, page builder half setup for a website. What do we wanna do right now is to come back to our color palette, is we have it here and we gave them close it because we need that. And we can see that here we have the primary color and the primary color is going to be our color. Did we need for our local? I just copy it and come back here and paste it. And we have. Then we have secondary color and I will go with a lighter color here. I'll copy it and then face it. For the text. I already go to black. So straight black color and 4 to accent. And you know what I wanted to go for to accent with. And we'll do some changes. I will do dioxin color like this. The darker color. Because, you know, we wanted to have the darker color for our buttons. This is the acts and where we wanted to send the people, just to be an eye-catching, get the people to want to click there. And we already can see to cook Ebola's here, but we didn't set it up. So we're going to change those colors also. Maybe the next one, we will come back here later. And then for the primary color, I will go with the second one. So just change the place of death. And then for the secondary, I will go with the lighter color. And then what I want to do is to just copy and paste as new color here from the color palette that I have. And I will see how I'm going to culminate all those colors on my website and how it's going to look like. And then the lighter color, maybe I will use it somewhere. Excellent. We can update now this or a weekend, come back and then go to a global foams. And you can see the primary font here is by default setup to rubato and the secondary slab. And then we have, I think again the same logo and then again plus seem remote. And now what we wanna do is to come back here and we already know we use a liger, a 40 or primarily primary color. Fun, sorry. So let's come back here. You can see how different fonts. We have, a lot of different forms and with search for a light graph, here it is, and just use it. And my default is on 600. And I will leave it like this and I will let them touch anything because if I want to let say, make some changes in many header, then I will do it directly from the air. And then for the accent, I will also go to a link RA. And for the secondary in four defects. Sorry, I will go with Yosef inst law. Let's try to find it. You can see we have slop and SAS. So slab 14, I will see if it's going to be the proper for our website or if we need to go with a darker, I mean, the boulder of styles here. So it can be seen, well, sorry, slip. And we can again go to update, but I will come back and I will go to typography. And from here you can see, here. From here you can see we have the body. And let's, let's choose direct one. For the links, I will choose o like rap and also H1, H2, old the header or hitting. So we were weak link href. So just tooth and tooth, all of them to be on 600. Or it's much easier for us to just click on this icon here and just click Primary. And if we click here, sorry, let's make an update and refresh the page. And now when we come back here and we go to the team settings and typography. This is changed just right. Let's go to set it up to 400. And then the link we have pellagra, it's not set at absolutely go to 600. And we can see now if we come back here and put it, the primary is changing. Right away. So primary, it will make it as it is so primary. And if we click is a leg referencing 600 and we don't have to go and search. Over again. I'm again for everyone on of doubt. And right now we can see here that the Allegra, it's a good font and it's redone. Well, but when we come here to ESPN's blob is a little lighter. Even though it's with black color we cannot see at will. And what's the main propose of the user interface is that we can see good, We have good contract on the website. So white and black, black and white. I don't know. All the color typography is that you can see that you can think of the different changes that you can use. There. We need to see, well, that's why I want to make an update. And then we'll come back and when we go to global level, sorry, global firms, in the secondary, I will make it 500 and also for the text 500, and also make it, make an update. And let's see now, if we can see better or if we need to change something. I think that there those are still two riders, so let me just try it on Cloud or on another thing. What to let's say we make them bold. Make an update. Again refers to the website, so the actions chart, note there or not. But what I want to do right now is to just put a text editor here. And we can see that here. We can see well, old letters are well, let me just see if Yep, We have to Josephine slump and we have on bulk and we can see right away that they're good. Another thing. So let me just delete this thing here and come back again to decide settings. Okay, so again, when you come, come to global phones from here, we can also choose the size of the letters. But I won't choose the primary, but I would I will choose the text letters. Can I will make them 16? I think that's a very nice size for delivers. And then we have backbones. And if we wanted to, we can choose the paperwork referred to battles and I will choose the accent or it's the same as the primary. And also we can choose the color. Some other things here, the border. But I usually see that when I do the page, when I built, when I designed a website. Then we have image and form files. And then from here we have the bare ground. I will leave it white because it is, but you can set it up from here if you want some water or for the mobile big round. And then we have site identity from here. I click on it and then select File. And I just go and upload the two of them. So I don't go with the same breath is again. And then I have here my logo and you can see it's transparent, but I will go and edit image and I will crop it. I don't want this big space. So I will crop it like this. And click Crop and safe. And then I will go insert media and cytoplasmic gone again. I have it here and I will insert the media so it's better like this. It will look better on here. So I will go update and I will refresh the page again. And if we go to preview, and we can see it here, it's smaller, but it's nice, Okay. Now that we have our global fonts and colors, we can go to our next lesson and design the header and footer. See you there. 9. Lesson 8 - Make Header and Footer: Now that we're in a, we're already hearing a section for our header. We would like to do it here. So what I wanted to do is I want to go with a simple style for me header. And I will just click on this plus size. And again, you can always go to this folder here. You can choose any of these flux. You can upload your own from here and find here if you have save it from somewhere else. But right now what I wanna do is to click on this slice icon, and I want to have three sections. The first section is going to be for my, it's going to be for my logo, just thinking that it's going to be for my menu. And the third is going to be for my social media because I want to have my social media in the header. What I wanna do now is I want to tell you when we click on this and we added this here. This here is called a whole section. So when we click here and you can see Edit section, we haven't here. And from here we can say, put it like books or full weeding can see if we remove this from here till here, the whole point. And then let's come back. When it's books said, you can choose from here how much you want to be. Maybe you want to be 800 and see how it's looking. Maybe you want to be like this or maybe you wanted to be, I don't know, 300, 400, however you wanted to beam. I'm going to go with this, a 100 00. I'm going to do this, This within here. And then we have column Gabe's and I go, no go up. And then we have hate. Yeah, we can do it. It does create norming way. We can go with mean weight. We cannot go with fit the screen here you see it's the whole screen. So we go to mean weight. And here in pixels, I'm usually going with 80. It's the right pixels. You can see we have space between them. So the right, and then we have position in middle. That means that this column here, it's always going to be in the middle from up and down. And we don't want to touch this vertical island. And then overflow is by default. And we can also do scratch section. But right now we are in buck set and we have, though we didn't setup from here. And we can see here in the structure, what kind of structure we have. And we can choose some other spaces. But I want, what I wanted to do is to flip my little book, my menu, put my social media, and then set up the right structure for my header style. For from here we have the background and the normal M Hauer. And we can do the bare on top type with the color, maybe with this overlay of the colors, maybe weren't video or slideshow. This is basically when we do when we design on the pages. And right now we don't want to have anything on this. So we'd just uncheck that, that because I want to have scrolling menu. And I'm going to show you how it's bolded going to be. And then we have overlay if we want to have or border or shape, driver and type what were a few, but we are not using any old depth for the scrolling menu. If we go to Motion Effects, and then we can go to the key. You can see it says, Man, it can be on top or bottom. And we can select on which device we want to have a sprawling menu. And I usually go with a hold of the biases. Why I use crawling menu before we can have an icon here that says go to top. But it's always better for me, like it's scrolling down with all the pages and they can all the time sea otter. My website or most of the websites sometimes have a login here or maybe I'm not phone number that they want to have like call-to-action col and something like that and they can use it right away. And then we have ethics offset and offset them. We have epics offset. I go with 18. Again. That means that the header start to scroll down after 18 seconds. And then we have responsive from here. We can choose to reverse on a tablet and mobile, but this is only when we have two columns. Because when we have true columns, even though we click to reverse, it will only, it will only revert the first and the last one, and that one is in the middle. It will stay in the middle. And then we have this ability if you wanted to hide something from desktop, tablet and mobile app for boots. And then we have custom CSS. This is only possible with the Pro version of Elementor. I told you we're not going to use codes here. We didn't meet them. We can use for the header if we wanted to change some color when the, when it starts, I'm going down, but let's start with designing and we can see what we're going to do next here. So first of all, we have here site logo and when we put it here, it show up right away. It's image full size, no corruption site URL. So right away, if someone clicks on it, it will come back to the homepage. And if the plant is on mater page, it will come back. So we can see it's a little bit bigger here. So we have, We didn't, we didn't, and weight. And from here, you can see we have the percentage here, pixels. And pretty much for the logo image, we use that percentage. And I usually go, let's say with 16 or 17 depending from the logo. And what we want to have here. Let's go with 16. I think it's good. It's looking very nice. And we can also choose from here where it's going to be placed it so left, center, or right. I will go with left. And we can see it well right away. And then what we're gonna do is go to this here. And then we go navigation menu by default is set up to footer and illegal primary menu. Okay, so we have now horizontal, vertical and dropped down. This is by default for the menu version, but of course, if we are using the horizontal and then we have here left in the center, right or scratch. I will go right pointer. So now, right now we have the underlying and it's right away with our color from the global colors. And then we have overlying up there. And we can have double length framing, background or texts. When you go on text. It just you can see how I like how it's looking. So it's grown. It can also D animation. It can be a shrink thing, floats, Qu, rotate or none, but it can't stay too from. And then we have sub-menu indicative, but we don't have sub menus. And then we have mobile drop-down breakpoint to tablet. And then we have d Double about the Hamburg, and then we have a site or an on-center. And what this mean right now, you can go and click this Edit column. This is the column, so the whole here is section, and those are the columns. And from the columns here, you can set up a column within from here. And I will choose this in middle, vertical. Ali does. So. We have everything set up in the middle. And also turn on. And then you can have from here and choose the right space for column. Or you can, does, you can see like this, move it here and there. I can't move it just like that. And I will come back here and I will go to style. We already have this, but I will click on this. And I will look good. I will put 20 pixels, line weight. I will put 1.5. And I won't touch the layer spacing, it will make some litter here, spacing between them. And for the transform we can see we can go with upper case or lowercase or compliance. Normal. Sar. I don't know if we wanted to go. To uppercase, I will definitely go to uppercase and I won't change any of this. Okay? And then we have divider, horizontal interrupt down. We don't have dropped down, so I wouldn't touch it. If you wanted. You could just go over here and change any of the settings and then we have toggle about them. We will do that in our mobile version and so we know what we're changing here. And less thing if you search here, so show that comes. I will let them here. And I will only change if I come to you and see that they already have a lot of angles here that you can choose from. Or you can go to upload, or you can go to upload SVG file. You can also put here a link. So I will just put it like this. Anyway, so it's official color, but I will go to Custom and you can change the color of the custom from here. And when you go to primary color, just click on it and you can choose the color. You can see. Or you can clear from here. Color. I will, just, for the secondary color, I will choose. Let's say we will go, we act on color. And for the primary color, I will just remove it so we don't have to beg round. So just the logo. And I will do the same for the two outer. For dq over social media. You can go with white or transparent. Let's do transparent because if we change color, depth way, we'll be, we'll be dear to show off. And then we go again acts. And you can see it that I changed the color in this default. It's much easier. And when we need to do transparent, just go here and come back. And you can also use this color sample. Just chews on it and click on any older image. I'm just choose the right color. You can see here, it's that much easier. So now that we have our icons here ready. Then when you go to style and from here, spacing we have five and from size we're going to put 20. They're the same size as our, as our menu, as our menu here. Also, we can go to icon hover and we can have like hover effect. And also we can even see they're moving effluent. We can go to let's say global rotate. Let's see if they have only glow. Think so. I think the quote, bro, just the same like our menu is growing, lead the Icon Grow when they hover on it. Okay, So now the next thing that we wanna do, we right now have our menu here set up. We want to go to those ankles here. This is responsive mode, and it will open this. And from here you can maybe change if you wanted to see him different. The main engines, but those are for desktop, tablet and mobile. Well, and we can see here we have the goblet mode to end. What we wanna do here is I'm going to click Edit section. At a glance. We have the margin and the padding. So the margin here in the section. If we click on it, you can see we can edit it. If we add here, it will act space up. Both is, so you can see this is the top and the bottom. This is moving, but we cannot see, you can see M, this is moving now. Right now we can see here the displaced quite blades here that we have. So we don't want to use this. And the potting is the plays that we wanted to make changes. This is everything that's happening here inside these big books. So if we unmarked this because if it's mark, if it's unchecked, then if we good just one number, it put it everywhere. But if we want to change only, let's say bottom or maybe right, I don't know. Then we need to unlink this and 10 percent and 10 percent from left and the right. So we have a little space here. You can see. And now I think that this is a good size, but I will do it like 30. And when I click on it, I will make it 80. And then this, this can be, let's say 20. So we have them in one line, and now we have 20, and we have 35, 50, and so this needs to be 50. So it's everything in one line. Okay? And now we have our dropdown, as I told you before, we're going to work on it when we come into it. Now to do is click Full within. So when it opens, it opens under oldest and not in the same heading here. And then we have center and Hamburg. And now we want to go, we want to go into the style. And for the color. It's chosen texts you can see from here. And we have the right topography and we have, I jumped choose 20. So it's the same. And again, we're going to choose like this. So we have a little space here. Okay? A little space here. And next what we wanna do is hover. Sorry. This is the dropdown and I'll, and the normal It's normal text color fixed. And we don't want any bedroom color and we don't have it. And typography, we have the accent, it's the same. And then we have the hover. And we are going to do is own transparent. So we don't have that great big room there. And we already have to dip over Vg, set it up and text color on hover. We're going to put it on accident. So it's the same like in the main menu when we are on desktop. And when it's active, Whitman touch it, so it's going to be black again. And from here we can set up Setup, Order type or maybe you radios if we want divider distance and the total of button from here, we can make it the color black, and we can make it onclick to be on accent, to be on accent, on hover to be an accident, sorry. And then we can choose the size to be 20, let's say. And it's perfect. But you can see that this is a little more here. And this is in the middle. So this is not in the middle here. So what we wanna do is to set up this 130 and just set up this ONE 40. And now we have everything in the middle, just like that. And now what we wanna do is to go to the icons and put them at the end. So it's not there in the year and the end and left, right, middle. And then we have, when we go to the model version, what we need to do is to setup these are 30. To setup this, I get 30. So we can see that the song 30 right now it's not pitting. And this setup, this 140, okay? So what we wanna do here is we want to flip this over a 100. And we want to see bulb, this is good. But we want to do here is to go here and we want to go to Style. And on spacing. I want to make this a little bit bigger. So I will 40. And I will go this to make hitting the road to see how much we need space. Okay, so we need around 41 of them didn't need to come back. Okay. So to 19. And if we remove this, we can see how it's looking now. We can. So, uh, remove D comes from the mobile menu. They usually remove da cost for the mobile menu. And it will look like this. So we will wrap the column and go to advance and go to responsive and hide on mobile. So when we come back like this is just like this. But we will, we will leave it to be DR2. It's looking good. Let's see if we can. Let's see if we can reduce the space between them. It's good like this. So we can now come back here to the layout and we can now reduce this space and just move it this as much as we can. So we have more space now. I think now it's looking fine. Excellent. We can see the logo, we can see the menu drop-down, we can see the icons have, we come back? We can see that here everything stays the same. And if we'd come back here, what gives you the thigh everything he's laying out the same. Let me do you know, I will look at those 16. And I will come back to the edit section. And I will add here only. Sorry, I will edit the padding and I will only 5% prom the top to the top and the bottom. So I have a layer of more space for the logo here. And as I already told you that, this is only possible With Elementor Pro, It's because when you hit Publish, you'd get this at condition. If this is not possible with the free version. And then you go at condition and you can go to include an entire site or you can exclude. Or you can include, Let's eat our halves and you can add condition to exclude the entire site. And you have a lot of possibilities. But we will get to include a entire side and we can click Save fittings. And also if we're doing a pop-up or some other landing page that we have. We have a lot of our other options like With show up, how much times to show up in every other. And so much other aspects. They are identical, saved in and use them. So save and close. And this is one of the biggest reason why is because if you wanted to use popup and you don't have Elementor Pro, then you need to use some other plugin for that. You can not be sure everything's going to work right or not. But let's now come back to the dashboard. And let's go to Save it templates. And if we go here to all, we can see the header and we can see the default kit. This is the one that we need for the global colors forms. And look. Now what we wanna do is to add new. And then we go to footer and name it footer and create template. Again here they're giving us some options that we can use here and maybe some change something to, to do Twitter depending from whatever you're going to do and however we want the footer to look like. But again, I will close it and then we'll do into height. So I will here. And you can see it's already down there because it's a flutter. And I will choose again three sections. And from here, I will also go to a 100th, 14, 14 000. And no God. And a mean weight. I will do it. 300. I think it's okay. I'm column middle. I think folded. Okay. So what I wanna do for the footer, again, like it's the same process. Again, we wanted to have in the footer, our logo. We wanted to have about we wanted to have social media icons and we want to have the footer menu. And depending, I don't know, maybe you want to have maybe 0 contact info also, we can have it there. And we can also have one layout here. I will do it 40. And this will be for the copyright. So we can, we can click here and just add new 4k duplicate. It's the same. We don't have anything down here, but it's much easier times if you wanted to duplicate something, I will ask you. And what I wanna do here is to add the menu here. Footer menu is already selected. And I will put it into the right horizontal underlined, I will put a text to be exactly like our menu in the header. But I will leave a note from here, mobile drop-down, I will put none. And that will go. You will see why not. And I will go just tile hover we haven't selected. And I will just change here the transform to uppercase. Excellent. And then on the left side here, I will drag and drop here the heading. And it here. What we wanna do is to write reserved. Let's say if it's a firm, if it's accompany them, violet. And usually we need to have the C icon here, but I won't try to search it. And I will put the x here. It gives me the primary who like the primary color for the hair. And from here I will go and close form to uppercases. Let's see. Now, I will put 16 and also I will come back to this and I will put it, take skin just so we have to save. So now I need to go and put it in the middle. And right now they are in the same. They're looking fine. Next, what we want to do is to write now to have flank. And then I will go to social media. And I will put it here and I will flourish on the right. And again, let me change the icon to Instagram. I will add a custom colors. So primary color is, the secondary color is axon. And here I will remove it. And I will do the same for the other two. And that will just add up here. So it can work quickly to hover on it. Excellent. I k. Then we can go to style and we can change it to the size it gets pay. Or you can come here to where it says official coral or it can go to Custom and customize it from here though, they will all change them. You don't have to go when do it one by one as I do them right away. And then we can go to, I can hover and then we can kept fro animations. I was like there. Now what I wanted to do just to we have to make some contracts. I will add here a color and I will go with the secondary. Because when we hover on disk, let me see, even if we go with this one, it's looking even better and what their free go with this one. Even better contract contrast, even better contrast. We can go with this one, we can use it sometimes the spec round this one. And here I will only like Kyle and the border and I will a solid one and I will add this color. And I will unmarked. And I'm out here too. So this is our footer right now. And then we can hear some heading. And we can say eye contact info. And then we can go to style, we can make it affects. We can put the phone. I'm 22. Okay. And then we can go to I can lift we can add it right under there. And from here we can save company. Oh my God. Let go. Same Tyvek building. We will insert here and we will say, I don't know, three or four. York, New York. And you can put your address, you know what I mean? Then here we can choose mobile. And then we can here put our mobile plus 4999928 retrieve and I'll 4, 5, 6, 8. And then we can to e-mail me e-mail. And we can insert here info that violet, hi, let's say. And then we can come here and for icons it goes fade deep, primary color. And the size, we can go to 16 and then we can go to text and we can put a tax on black. And for the typography, it's already made on sixteen-fifths, so it's looking like this. And it's looking pretty nice. Maybe we can make them a little bigger or half empty, how it's good to look like. And then we have, we can have our logo in the middle. But we can put it to like say it 18. And here what we can do is again, I'm heading and bright or violet. And we will move it does to the right, will come here and we will choose the black color. And we will put two as we put here, two. And then we can come here, we can add text editor. And I will just move it this till here. And it will leave it like this. So we have our 16 here. Well, and our footer is looking just like this. Or what we can do now. And I will put MOOC is here and this here. And that will just change place. Let me see how it's going to look. And I'll put it here. And that will put it here. And let's see, I can list minus 50. And also I will come back here, unmarked desk, and I will put it 20 minus on top. I will come here and I will go here and are marked disk and I will do to bottom minus 20. So it reduced the space even 30. So we can see that it's almost the air. And I will also come here into the social media and do the same but at the top, so minus 20. So it's more here, so you'll have the space here between it. But if you have more texts than does make it a little bit allele bigger and it will repeat perfectly. It looking very nice. I want to do now is to go to response to food. And I wanted to see how it's looking. You can see how it's looking forward to tablet and the mobile version. So what I wanna do now is to go to section and advance. And I went to unmarked desk and 10 from left, M2M for from story, from right. And we have a little bit space, even 20, sorry. So we have more space. That's better. And I will come to the logo and make it a 100 crypt. And everything else will stay the same is better when all this is in one line. And here what I wanted to do it to come here and to go. Good. And now let's go to the mobile version. And here what I wanna do is do click to edit this section. And I want to go to advance, and I want to add here, sorry, like 10. And it's good from every size. But what I wanna do here is to go to responsive and to make reverse column. So we have Percival privacy policy of dreaming condition and at DMU we have the copyright. And here I want to do the same, check this mark. I'm going two unmarked this and I'm going to sorry. Just like this for everywhere. And it's looking nice. And I'm going to come back here on the desktop version and I will make Publish app condition today entire site and click, Save and Close. Now that we're done with this, let's go to the next lesson and design our homepage. See you there. 10. Lesson 9 - Starting with Design: Now let's move on to the designing process of our website. First thing that we wanna do is that we can go to pages and find our homepage and go to Elementor from daycare. Or we can go to templates and then we can add new. And we didn't select single page. The home. If you don't have element or pro, you can do it directly from your page. Go to homepage, and then you can see up there edit with Elementor and you can do it from the air and then create template. And from here we can see by default blink, blink templates that we can use. And we will just close this and we have the blank template here. I would like to see how the header it's going to look once pulling down. But we are going to see when we have the page and, and do the rest for it. So retina look, we want to do as, uh, we will, uh, we know that we are designing of that site or flower decoration company. And what we wanna do here is first of all, we want to have our first header and we wanted to have our first goal to action. That's why we can add a new section from here and we can select how many sections do we wanted to have one big section or want to have two separate, depending what kind of picture we are going to put here. Are we going to have a lake, big round or that kind of stuff? Or we can come here and we can go to Pages, or we can just come and unmarked desk and we can find something from here like hero. You can see from here some examples how it can look like. Or you can find some page if you want to use it from here. But right now, I want to show you how we can't use. So I'm going to go with this and I'm going to go with just sections. It's going to be books and book. I will again go with 000. So we have the same line here for the whole website. So this is the section. And we can use from here the, this is the column that we are going to end, but let's go with the section then we have no gov and we can offer for the weight. We can put it mean weight or feet discrete. I will do with mean weight. But I will put it to 500. Even just takes contract just like this. And right now, this is our header so we can a practice and we can go to Advanced, we can mark this and we can go to top minus entering. And this will become under our header and our hair should be transparent. But I will see a DMD if we're going to go with that, this ion or another design syringe for here, for our left column, I will add a heading. And this heading would be, maybe we should think about something that will catch to our clients. I so maybe you welcome to paradise. To our paradise. And you should know, destructured that for a root page or blog posts or anything similar. You should go with. You see here how it's H1, H2, H3. So we need the first paragraph that we have here. The first heading to be H1. This is poor, the proposal DSU for derived structure of our website. So welcome to our paradise. You can write whatever you like for the style and we'll choose the black. And I will put dislike. We've even got 18 maybe two weeks, maybe. No, Let's put it on 18. Welcome to our paradise. And under disk, I will text editor. And here we have a simple texts and I won't change that. The only thing that I wanna do here is to change the padding. And I want to cut this off to be a little so let's say left, sorry, right. 15 and maybe 18. Yeah. And we have almost one under an adder. And then what we wanna do is to go to. Wrap up bottom here. And right now the question that we have here is, what is the main propulsive our website to do? We want to have book costs, a clip of costs. Asked for quote, Look, we wanna do hear or see your gallery. So I, right now, I want to have here one bottom that there's going to be the main call to action here in it's going to be contact us. Contact us. And I want to let shape it. So we have the acts and fix em. We're going to put this on 18 so it's a little bigger so we can see it well. And then we want to, to put it on upcase. And 4, sorry, for this file bordered type is a solid. And we're going to choose the same color for the border. And we're going to use, sorry, and we're going to use for war the radius, just one. So it's the same shape like our logo. It will pick, well, even though that we want flowers, maybe you start to more color for a book. Let's have it like this. And I will now go F and fans to, and I will go to positioning, and I will do with inline. So now I can just duplicate the bottom. And what I will do is to write another sentence here and we will go to, let's say, find out more. I know more. And I will go to style, and I will do. Now, I want the text color to be in that acts out. And the color here, it can be white, like this. And then we have on hover, we're going to be the text to be white. And then we have the background color to be the axon, the border. So you can see it's lightness and where to contact us. It's going to be on the hover to be the text color, the acts of color. And this color, shouldn't we? The white dots like this. And maybe we should change the place. Four is two and maybe the mean. Sorry, I will again change the places for them like that. But I will put this to be I'll find out more and these to be Contact Us. And on this bottom then I will go to advance. And I will put a lift. Let's say 10, maybe 20. Looked like this and now we have space between them. Excellent, is looking very nice. All right, I really liked it. And now what we wouldn't use to find some images that we wanted to show right away to our plans when they come here. So we are going to grab the image from here and put it here. Is that hazy? And in we go Just image and we should upload. But first of all, let's find some. I usually use Unsplash or you can also find something on Canva image library. So just I will search for flower decoration. And let's see what they have and what I would like to put. Maybe we will search for wedding flower decoration, something like that. And I have found this one, and I will download it in medium version. And I will also download this one. I will need image, so I will download this one and I will see what it will feel better for for my design. And then I will come here. You can always go to tiny PNG and reduce the size of your images is highly recommended. But I like to say anytime now for dab to you, you can do it. So I will just upload this one again. So we have right now just one. So we will go insert media. And we can see that it's too weak. But let's go to the style. And, um, k, We can now choose the size of damage. So I will go with 65. Okay, for me. And what I want to do is to come back here and I will search for flowers. Some story. I will come back to Canva and come back to home. And what I wanted to do is to maybe again, to go to the size of the logo. And I will go to elements. And then we'll search for flower. And let's find some nice floor. That's looking good, that will look good on our website. And you see the old days, it takes time. So if this much easier, if you're doing the website for the client, then you can ask them to give you old unnecessary details for the website of like images, copy. All are kind of stuff or you will lose time like this to try to find the right, the right style, and the right design for your, for your website. So let's see, for the graphics, I lose the one that I like when I scroll down. So I think that I will look something like this because we are doing a flower to creation. So I think it's looking nice. Now what does downloaded? A weed transparent, they've room, but download. And I will come back here and I want to up here another image here. And I will upload the medium. And I will now insert the media. And you can see how big it is. And I will go to within and look like 35. And then when we go live to a defense, we can go to the position and weekend, do position absolute, and then we can grab it and just put it. One neighbor, we think that that's looking Good. So let's see. If oldest looks like something, like nothing. Let's make it a little, little beaker. And we have, so whitespace here. So when we go to final and make it much, See you a moment to look like this. Okay. Just the detail, but making them did sign better. And let's see with this image, I wanted to be like this. Or maybe it was like this. Okay? And I will leave it like that and I will see if this makes sense. So for the first header section, we have our welcome section, which with H1. Then we have a short intro and we have two atoms that are the main call to action and the second call to action here. Next thing we wanna do is to put here our services. So what we wanna do is to maybe come here and let's go to the services. Just too easy, make much easier. A flower. Our work and we can see what else we have here, our services and I will insert ds. So we have our services here. And we should put an H2. And also here now we should change the primary and wishing come back and put it as 66. And you can see we already have icons here, content, content. And from here maybe we can. Good, Let's see if we have flour. But we don't have flowers. If we don't have icons that we can use here, maybe if we search true icons, we will find something that will suit to our to our services that we're providing. But for right now, because I choose to use the flower to creation, it's just not reasonable to have depth, something like that. So I will just leave it like like they are and adjust. Let's say. And then winning the curation, Maybe occur. Curation. I don't know. And then we have let's say a declaration. You'd get you what this might point here and what I wanna do here is two style. And for the icon, I will choose the act, acts on the color and for the content, I will choose the primary, and then I will choose the text and also change to black. And then I will come back and make the same for everyone of them. So they're just the same. And from here, as I already mentioned, you can do your own icons also in Canvas and download them like SVG file if you're a pro user of Canva and upload them here. And also icons played the beak of the rural here in the host. So think will, what kind of eye it goes you're going to use for your design. But brain now, because we already have this whitespace ran everywhere around here and here, what we want to add some differences, I would like to go to style and choose the color that we were using down here for the footer. But what I wanna do here is to come back here and I want to reduce the color and just leave it like, like this, like almost invisible. And it's looking nice. I think that this clicking rise. What I would like to do right now here with this image gets that I would like to make it bigger. But I would like to reduce here the space. Sorry, but I would like to reduce here to space at the bottom, and let's say minus 50. And this, this image which will come under here and maybe a 100, them 50. And when we see now, it's looking nice. I think maybe just a 100. And we'll come back to a 100. And you can play with these numbers here and see how it's looking better. And how you can do does and how you like it much or less here. And I think it's looking nice here. Excellent. Then the next thing we wanna do here is to, to another section. And this section, it's going to be four up vowed. So right now we have here the services, our services, and here you can also add a link. So if someone clicks on it, it will go to services and they can see barrier services right away. Or you can also add another button here just to show that you have your services there. But right now I will add here an About section. And let's go again here and find something that feels to us and just input that the air and not loose so many time in trying to design that I have our own. And what they would like to do is to go with this section. And I will insert it and I will download an image for here. So I will first of all come here and choose an image. And I will come here and select my image. Let's find up here at this, Let's use this one as that one doesn't want to upload. Let's try to find out here disc. Now let's go and first change the image. Upload this one. So it's looking nice here. And then we have about accompany them. We need to put here h tree. So 1, 2, then we have three, and then we have here primary. And we can put the 45 is right here. And we have here some text. I will just come to the black color and the text. And it's looking now at nice or the bathroom here. We can just use cheap because of this. I cannot copy this. It's in front of it, but it doesn't really matter. I will copy this one and I will paste that here, and I will delete this one. And what I will do, I will read more in the advance. I will lift this up 20 from the left. For this file, I will change it to be full, like this. And on hover to go with the text color and the white doesn't make this great more. I think it's excellent. I just wanted to do I just want to click on this and go to advance. And I would remove this top people team. And I will also unmarked desk and Port of Boston. I will remove that 50, but let's say 30. Right now, you can see it gets the same line with the image. So we have the right space whitespace here, we have space between, and we have the text here and the copy and the weapon right there. You don't have to make it to be right there. Maybe you have a lot more texts or less steps. It doesn't matter, just just take a look on those details, so it look nice there. Now the next thing that we wanna do here is maybe to up another call to action here. So what I wanna do is to come back here and I will unmarked. This isn't an example of what I want to use here is something like this, this book, I will change it. I will just click, Insert. And what I wanna do here is make a box set and a 114 to be the same. And then I'm going to advance because I can see we have top and bottom and that's good. But then what I wanna do here is let's see. Yes, we have the left 250 depth and the right. The, and I don't want this to be in three rows, so I will grab this and put it under this. Our story. I will remove this text and this about brand. I will write something like let's write something that will attach the eye of our clients. So let's say maybe is your wedding soon. And let's put a question mark and I will remove this line from here. And this one, I will leave it on each tree. We don't need to go further with that. And then they go to primary. And good again, this and this texts here, I will just make it black. And with the facts that we are used to using it. And I will delete this column. And for this image here, I will just choose the same units because I don't want to lose time in searching for images just to show him how to change the image. And, and I will go again to the styles and within. And I will make it just like this on 16. And then we'll come back and again put does is color and maybe just grab it from here because I want it to be just the sex color. So I'm not wrong. And we have those sections like white color, white color. And what I wanna do here is go to, uh, to be honest, and I will remove this and maybe just put into a PLT. And here on 18 15. And just like this, and what I would like to do is again, I will put the same from here. And I will just paste it here. And like this. Say, okay, I need to put it or if the air. And I think it's looking nice. And next thing that we can do here right now is maybe to put maybe to put some Gallery. It damages that we we I'm a half from some something that we'd get wet say from some wedding decorations and something like that. So if we go to portfolio, we can find some images that we can use here and how to structure data. And maybe I will use this kind of style, so does insert. And here I will live checkout our, check out our work of our flower coloration. And then I will come back and put this in black, and that will come back and put this x, and this will come back and put it as primary. And just click here just to come back on the right position. And here it doesn't look good at, I leave it like this. So this is basically a gallery. And from here you can choose what kind of even just shouldn't be here. So I will remove all bold black images and app to gallery and I will just, I can't hook up six more times this. So insert to gallery. And an absolute. Let's find two more images of death are the same shape and probably the same size. Or we are going to do to resize them to being the same size. So maybe this one, and I will download it now as small as they are. Some problems with my website doesn't want to upload right now. Maybe this one. Okay, this one is Kim and I will upload. And then back to gallery and Insert gallery. And this is looking nice. Excellent. Maybe let me see if this one, I will put it a 114 just so it's the same as the same website. And here at DMU 2, we should put on call to action. I think that it will look good if we put, let's just duplicate this and grab it and put it down. Dare does because I like the color and use t when we put it like this, it's looking nice. But what we wanna do is just maybe changes, change this image and I will put this one, oh, sorry, it's too small. I think. This one too, but it's K. And I will remove the whole text like that. And here at some texts that it's going to be eye-catching. And again, at now here at another factor that will take them to the place that you want and just maybe contact us. And I don't really like this image here. I can maybe put the bigger one. And again, this term K, it's looking better but I like good at like this. I will also maybe like this. Let's see how it's looking. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Let's put it don't feel too and again and again. No. No, I don't know. I'll put this one. Sorry, but the image is on 15, so I will put it. And a 100, just like that. And I think that that's it. Sorry, this one, it should go only Darla upper. Just like that. And if we scroll back there and we see how everything up this is looking. So we have our heading with an image showing what we're doing. We have find out more in contact us. Those two are but those are main call to action. Then we're showing our services and then the boat, the company. Again, we're telling what we're doing here, explaining a little more than we have images that will show up our work and we are, we are good in our work and what we're doing, what we're working this. And then we have another call to action asking the client to contact us or a loop dare details and anything else. And then we have the footer and I think it went really inflicting very nice. And now that you know how one page it can be structure does you can go to every other page just like about services gallery of sound, and just go to About make the header. Let's say About Us and then down day or show more about you. Tell me more about your TAM, more about your company. Why are you doing? Does a later more about yourself? Also do the same process with service this in the gallery at the same way that color you can even open to the two pages and coffee is Scholars section and put it there and just add more images. And then it's nice if you have looked, pulls the world deer, and do the blog post page. And if you have blog posts, you can also add them here at the end somewhere. And you can do it also. Or if it's easier for me to explain to you how you can do that. If you're using element or Pro, you can just come here. Extant today is go to Contact and you hear have the form that you can use, maybe maybe the lead some of the form files. I will insert it now just to show you how you can do the contact form in your contact page. If it's already not clear to you how easy it is for gays to be done. How easy days, four days to, to design a website with Elementor. And all that kind of stuff is just that you need to know in what way you should go. You need to have the right tool to have the right assets like images, copy, colours, and oldest kind of stuff. And it's much easier for you to do that. And from here, if you click on it, you can see name, you can change from here. You can also change the gain of the column. You can, from here you can change the button and then we have action after submission. So we have collect submission and e-mail. Then we have collects submission into submission. And I will show you where he does that. And from here you can change your email address where you will like to collect to receive your e-mail address to settings and from style you can change again the same style if you don't use Elementor Pro, does here, search for widget. And if you, when you do the forming neater form, you will also receive short code and you can come here, does search for shirt coat added here and just paste here to short code that for me ever will generate for you that and you will have the form right away here. In Terminator, you can also change the colors, the forms that you're using to match your rent color. So now that you know how one website can be structure and how you can design the whole website. You can go and do the same process with your other pages, as well as you know, the fundamentals of UX and UI. Just go ahead and do the rest of the pages. See you in the next lesson. 11. Lesson 10 - Blog post template: And don't forget to save all your work before you exit your pages. So just so I'm clear here, I probably already know how you can do this, but just by clicking publish here and add condition, you should not save it to all singular but do the front page. So this is your front page, or if you go to pages, you will have the chance to choose. You will have the chance to choose what faith to just search for, how home and then save and close. Now if we come back in this lecture, I want to show you how you can do the blog post. So when you're doing your blood flow, so you go to post at NYU and we already have this held world. Add New. And here you are going to have your title. Hello. And here you're going to add or your old your text. But if you do like that, every blog post is going to be by default like the team, like it is. Or if you will, and edit with Elementor, you should edit separately Every one of them. It's basically the same if you have projects. Like if you're showcasing different projects and you and you use some tool like projects for here. Then you should go to templates, and then you should go to Add New. And from here select Single Post and dust boot, single post, just say, you know, what is it about? And create template. And here right away we have different too. Ways of templates to show off and to use an IDE won't use. And that will take any much for your time showing how you can do this. I will just choose one template to use it as my blog posts. And I think that I will go with this one. It's because I think that that will go with this one needs because it has images for help. And I think that I will go with this one. It's because it has text and images in it. And because this website is about a flower decoration, anything that we will out, it's going to have probably images showing, explaining what we're doing with that. And also have a sidebar. Let's insert it. Yet because we only have the hello world, it doesn't matter. So here is the post, except we don't have to have kind of text. And we have the hello world. And this is going to be where the text it's going to be. So am just going to put it link text. Hello world. I'm a, you can see that it's already by default. And each one I'm going to style and then primary. This one here. I also am going to choose our acts on color. And for the ankle and foot effects, again are acts of color. And I will use the fixed for here. Also you, what you wanna do is to choose text and text. And you can see here in the right sidebar, you can upload images or HTML codes for your ads. If you have some texts here, you can use social media. They can post a comment here or you can just remove. And they cannot, they cannot comment into your post. And I will rather delete this. And then you have mole spore polar if you want. And you can all of this change to your relate to your default fonts and colors. So some, and what is my ice here and with element or pro is that when you have looked boast like this, and you click on Publish, then again, it opens the condition tab and then we go at conditions, not all singular, but we go to both and then 0. And when we click, Save and Close. Now, every time when we publish new polls, they will all look the same. No matter what we put in a text, it will be text, it will be images, the side wherever it will always be the same. The sheriff will always be the same. Everything would will every time be the same. This is the main thing that it's best here with Elementor Pro a thing because it saves a lot of our time and our energy and a lot of work that we shut down every, in every single time that we're doing the same thing. And that will be all for this predicts selection. Let's go to the next one. 12. Lesson 11 - SEO of the pages: Now that our pH is done and when you have holier look pulls down. Let me show you how easy it is to do your SEO for the, for the website. So right now we need, if you weren't doing your homepage for front pages and edit with Elementor done when you click on Edit with Elementor, it will just open up. And if you click on home, if you do it like I'm doing it, then you're gonna need to go to home single page. From here. Our Rank Math to the plugin that we're using for the SEO. Probably haven't activated yet. Let's come back and this is shrink met. Then we need to go to set up reserved. And we're going to just start the wizard. We need to go over everything of this personal blog down small business website organization. You should see all of this. Continue and I will just save and continue. Does go through all these steps and save it so we can use it. And then return to dashboard. Or if you're more advanced, then from here you can also save changes, change settings and all that kind of stuff. And now when we refresh the page, okay, so, so we can use this on our page. We need to go through our pages and from there to Open With Elementor so we can work with that. So we cannot do it from inside D element or single page template. Then link here have the SEL as you can see it. And for me here we can change the title, we can change the link, and we can change the description. A firm here we cannot focus keyword and it will tell us what the score is of our website. And from here it gets steam. It's not found in DSU meta-description. And then we have butter to image with the focus keyword and the image. So how we are going to resolve this is we click on this image, we come here and alt texts, but it says, let's say we're going to say hot and insert media. And now when we go here and to our SEO, we can see that right now. Wait, It's not take any option our image, Let's do with another. Let's write here hope. Insert media. Okay, Let's save draft and refresh this. And when we come back, let's see right now, yeah, we have 90 is core, and right now we have the image as checkmark that we did this M. That easy days, how you can do that the SKU of your website t, Well, when you're doing your own lips, O of M site or of your client's website if they give you the content that you shouldn't wait, oh, worry too much about it. But if you're doing the content, think well what you're going to write there because google search engine should, should choose you buy the right words to show to the right people. So take in mind when you're doing the SEO and take in mind when you are writing the content for your website or for any other website. You can do this the same process for the blog post, but you should do it for from the blog post page. Let's come back and just go to pause. And when you click Edit, from here, you can click here it says Rank Math and you can add here. Hello. And it will tell you down here you can see what is wrong, what you're missing, what you change two to get a better or they're. Now that you know how you can do d SEO of your website, Let's go to the next lesson. 13. Lesson 12 - Going over analytics, Cookie notice and cache plugins: Okay, so as we are almost at the end of this, so S, we are almost at the end of this course. I want to tell you that the necessary plugins that we need to use here is the one that we download the cookie. Notice, it's because every website should have this. So they already have by default this message you can click Okay or changed the word. You can also include the privacy policy link or change to another page. You can give an option to refuse the comb, the content to not and enable it and except expiry one month, you can choose to be in the header or footer. I always use footer script placement. And then we have D animation, we have the bottom and then we have the colors here. I don't know if I still have some color here. Probably not. Right. You can change the text color, color from here. It doesn't matter for me now to change this color. It's obvious what I wanted to say. And don't forget to click Save on another team that I want to go over, e squirming on her. Here. From here you can create forms, who can create pools, and creating forums. It's easy. You can go to Blend, pull requests, registration, logging newsletter, and contact us or create. Or you have different options. So it's easy just go there to choose from. You can use their templates or let's say turn tag. And you already have here first name, email, phone, and message. You can institute prior from here, and you can see that only this signature is in pro version. You can even take payments, stripe or people, and it's almost everything in free. The difference from the other plug-ins that we have poor to conduct forum. Also, they have here the submissions that you can see and you will receive them again in your email that you will leave dare into the submissions on another thing that we have, we already have here, the clear catch. If we don't have it, we should install a plugin. Like we should install a plugin that will do it at work for us. Why is and necessary for us to have the clear catch. Because sometimes we do some changes and maybe someone is in our website, they want to see the changes. And then we need to clear to catch. So the website knows that we did some changes and they have really subtle changes to the public. And listing that we missed up here are the topics that we need to have. Every I think every website should have them. I personally use served to N6 analytics and it's easy to use them just install and activate. And you should have your Google Analytics set up. And you will just connect that, follow the steps and you, you can connect the Google Analytics. So floors are, those are the main few things that we need to have them on our website port of best basic website. But if you're using WooCommerce, say peer using another plug-ins, it much deeper to explain. So if you want to see how WooCommerce work and what we can do with that. How we can set up a shop, how we can setup the product, shipping shipping, delivery oldest kind of stop. Please let me know and I will try to do another course to, to explain everything there. See you in the next lesson. 14. Congratulaton: Congratulations to coming to the end of this course.
