Do you want to learn how to create websites without technical knowledge, just like me? Well, if you are then, I suppose you need to know about Elementor – a free drag-and-drop tool that allows you to create a website without knowing how to code. So, let’s talk about how making a website is fun using Elementor Page Builder and, more importantly, using Droit Addons for Elementor.

But first

Know the Basic Webpage Layout

Let’s talk about the basic layout of a webpage before you start building it as you imagined. Now, you need to understand that you must make it in the way your users expect it to be to create an effective website. Take that into consideration, and you have these five parts:

  1. Hero Section

The hero section consists of the most critical parts on a landing page. That includes:

  1. Headline – the headline acts as a hook to grab the user’s attention on the focal point of your website by addressing a solution to a problem, usually in one sentence.
  2. Sub-heading – the subheading offers more context as you want to know more about the product while keeping things concise and exciting.
  3. Call-to-Action Button – this is an interactive button on the webpage that allows you to communicate directly with a person via the website. The CTA is what converts a visitor into a potential lead for your website.
  4. Image/Video or any other Illustrations – image, video, or demographics is one of the most innovative ways to engage with your visitors without using text.
  5. Navigation Menu

Different pages of a website are easily viewable if you keep a navigation menu as it allows the user to go through the list and choose which one(s) to interact with.

  1. Features or Benefits Section:

You can only understand the pros and cons of anything properly after knowing about its features. If it’s featured under a features section. Besides, a combination of text and images is the best way to make it interactive.

  1. About Us Section

Reliability is the number one factor for building and earning the user’s trust. So, an About section on a landing page is essential to establish the credibility of your business organization.

  1. Contact Section

The final step of a convinced customer wants to contact the people associated with the website, and this is where the contact section comes into play.

While it does help to know how to design a good landing page layout, but that’s like only one-half of the work. Now, you need to know what you need to know the final things you need before building the website.

The first thing you need to do is install the plugins you need to get working, which means installing Elementor. Next, you can choose to install a free theme and customize its element to look the way you want it.

Step 2: Choosing the Right Template

Templates offer a wide array of choices of creatively designed parts of a website – buttons, sliders, carousel, navigation menu, and other widgets you need to customize your website to grab the user’s attention. You can either choose to work between a pre-built template or a blank canvas to create your template.

To build your template, click on Page → Add New, choose an option from the Page Attributes box, and finally choose Save Draft to apply it to your website.

Conversely, you can choose pre-made templates from the Templates Library by clicking the Folder icon on the bottom left part of the screen.
