Start here 👉
I’ll show you how to create a WordPress website using Elementor cloud.
We will make the website using a drag and drop page builder so there is no coding.
You can choose from hundreds of prebuild designs so you don’t need to start from scratch.
I’ll show you how to edit and create new pages, change images and update the navigation bar.
On top of that, you will learn how to create subtle animations when you scroll on your website and how to create a page transition like this.
Towards the end, I will show you how to install free add-ons so that your WordPress website becomes faster and safer and that it starts appearing on Google.
Lastly, I will show you how to buy and connect a custom domain name to your website, so that it looks professional.
My goal is to give you the skills to use the software, instead of building a specific website.
Elementor is also the sponsor of this video, they reached out to me if I could check their new platform called Elementor cloud, which is like a powerful page builder and web hosting in one solution.
In the past, you would first buy a web hosting and domain name. Then install WordPress and then install the Elementor plugin inside WordPress, but now, they’ve just combined it into one package. And the best part is that it comes with the Elementor Pro features. Which is definitely worth the investment. I’ve used Elementor for years and it’s my go-to page builder because it is flexible, comes with lots of pre-built templates, and has millions of users.
