Steps to create a modern site with the Elementor WordPress template

To create a modern site using Elementor, let's start with the basic steps:

1. choosing a suitable theme

The Elementor WordPress template works with many themes, but to get the most out of it, it is advisable to choose a compatible theme, such as Astra or GeneratePress. These themes are lightweight and fast, which contributes to site performance.

2. installation of the Elementor plug-in

Once the theme has been installed and activated, the next step is to install the Elementor plugin. Go to the 'Plugins' tab in the WordPress dashboard, then click 'Add New' and search for 'Elementor'. Once installed, activate the plugin.

3. Creating a website from scratch

Once Elementor is installed, we can proceed to create a page. In the 'Pages' tab, we select 'Add new', then click 'Edit with Elementor'. In the editor window, we can add new sections, columns and widgets by dragging them from the side panel.

Case Study: Projects carried out in Poznań

In Poznan, I had the opportunity to work on several projects that perfectly demonstrate the capabilities of the Elementor WordPress template. I worked with local businesses that needed modern and responsive websites. Thanks to Elementor, these sites not only look aesthetically pleasing, but are also functional and user-friendly.

In one project, for a local restaurant, I created an attractive and interactive page layout with a menu, photo gallery and online booking section. Another example is the website of a small IT company, where we used interactive blocks and sections to present a wide range of services and case studies
