Whatsup Party People! In this video, ill show you how to make a wordpress website step by step with the elementor page builder. Make sure to give this video a thumbs up, i worked on it night and day! And i ran out of beer, if anyone can be so nice to bring one over, that would be great. NOTE* Elementor made some changes on their website so you will be prompted to say " you already have a wordpress website", you can still get it free in the backend of wordpress. So go to Appearance - Plugins - Find Popular ( or type Elementor) and download elementor for free
Thanks for another great tutorial Darrel. I would have been happy to bring you a beer but am out of town. I'm back in L.A. late next week if you run out again. P.S. would you be interested in looking at and critiquing a website i just finished for a Mexican Restaurant?
This video covers all most all aspects of WordPress website making process but within an hour! It's just awesome! I recommend this video to all of my clients, friends who want to make their website on their own. I wonder while making this video, gathering all the pieces together it must take a good amount of time. Thanks, Darrel. It does help us a lot.
Darrel you have no idea how timely this video is for me. I had watched the previous one you made with Elementor a couple years ago but this one is absolutely great, thanks a lot!
Darrel... i'm only 15 minutes into your tutorial and you've pointed out what made me go astray from using Wordpress. I've used Squarespace, Shopify, Wix and even Dreamweaver in my earlier days. From one ex-instructor to another, you are very clear in your explanations, to the point examples and I love the quirky side comments of your personality coming out :) --it reminds me of myself talking. Please continue to post new videos as these are priceless skills in the mind of the right person. You have a new subscriber to your channel!
If you are 15, dont focus on wordpress.. go for HTML/CSS/JS/Frameworks/Back-end stuff.. by your 25 you will be making at least 50k/year. Thank me later.
Thank you Darrel!! I have been working with Wordpress for quite a while. This is truly the BEST video. Every time I had a question, I was able to rewind and get the answer. I had put HOURS of work in trying to build my site totally from scratch. It looks so much better now. I am so appreciative!
The best tutorial on the whole Internet. Thank god i found your video. I was surfing around many different videos and was trying randomly without knowing the top and bottom of editing. God bless you my man, u helped me a lot to create my website. Love you from INDIA.
Hi Darrel, I, like many, am glad to have come across you as I am learning to build websites with VS code but also wanted to learn how to create a Wordpress site. Most of the info out there is not easy to follow but you make it so easy to follow. Loving your content and am binge watching all of it. I am currently putting this site together as a portfolio site for the rest I have lined up to create as I am building a site for a friends motorbike club, my partners hairdressing site, her friends freelance photography and another friend is looking at one for his company. So with all these I want to learn to build really fresh clean sites and you seem to be one of the people to follow. Keep the great content coming.
Wow, THANK YOU!!! I've been so frustrated trying to figure out wordpress and after someone sent me a link to your tutorial, I created my first ever landing page!!! I know it wasn't that difficult, but without your guidance, I'm not sure I would have made it this far! I had been told to be leary of downloading too many plug-ins so I was trying to format my website without them. Well, I don't know if that's possible, but it made me want to throw my computer out the window. Now I have what looks like an actual website! I can't wait to finish your video this weekend! Thank you again so much!!!!
Ok brother, I have been binge watching your videos because I’m going to be building an e-commerce website for my 11 year old son who wants to start his own clothing brand. And I have to say you are a fabulous teacher and I can’t tell you how helpful this has been. Thank you!!
after using this tutorial, i was able to start my own business and take care of my sister more. Darrel you have really helped change my life, god bless you
This tutorial was awesome. I have never seen a free WordPress website development tutorial where nothing was sponsored and best of everything was explained. Keep making such great videos. I watch a lot of your videos otherwise also but this one was really great. Lots of good luck to you sir!!
Thank you! Finally good tutorial with all the answers that we beginners have! I watched a lots of videos and this one is first that have all! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Dude you are just awesome, I was trying to build up my new website today and your video helped me a lot and you are the only guy I found who explained everything step by step.
Just spent two days watching tutorials on WP and felt more and more confused until I found you. You made it very easy to understand. I now feel ready to start. Subscribed.??
Nice tutorial! As a long time user of wordpress, Elementor has changed everything for the better for me and as someone who creates various simple tutorials for elementor and wordpress I have learnt some things I never knew from you! So thanks for that :)
Thank you for your amazing tutorial ,This is the best tutorial for DIVI! I love this video and really appreciate the bullet points in the description. Great work!
Darrel, thanks to you, I am about to "go live" with my first website ever! I followed your FANTASTIC tutorial to learn the basics using WordPress, Elementor and Contact Form 7. I amazed! My site looks very professional on all devices! Thank you sooooo much for your SUPER tutorial and your clear, concise, friendly and relaxed instruction!
Mr. Wilson; and no, I am not Daniel. I've read what others said about you; in my humble opinion, you are the best. I am not trying to out comment anyone. You are knowledgeable, honest; a good instructor. To anyone who would read this comment I'd say, follow Darrel until the end of his tutorial, you would not be disappointed. It would be immoral if after gleaning so many excellent tips from this tutorial, I walk away without commenting about your instruction abilities. Darrel, brother, you are the Best, thank you.
So I'm helping my sister with her new site and I am in no way a designer. She told me she wants it to look like Poosh's website. Ummmm- I had no clue. Then after watching this I can see how the templates are going to look very professional and save me a lot of time. Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you for this tutorial with easy to follow steps. I have avoided doing my site, but with your vid, I am ready. This is just what a new life coach needed a low-cost way to build her 1st site. I cannot wait to finish my site!
Darrel, I really love your videos! Btw, can you please do more videos on how to design an appealing and cool looking homepage. Things like how to create a beautiful homepage, landing page or product page, color guides and things about designing. Thanks!
Wow !! This is a great tutorial.. you're hard work really shows there. You've made my work so much easier than I thought! I will start working on my site right away! Thank you sooo very much Darrel!!
Hi Darrel, thank you for one of THE best tutorials on how to build a website. I've stopped counting the times I've watched and paused this video to get my own website up and running...lol. Just one question...I'm writing an autobiography in blog form. Would it be advisable to add a progress bar? Thanks for sharing this awesome video. Regards, Elmarie
Hi Darrel, first of all thank you so much for all your tutorials! I built my first site using your tutorial 5 years ago, and I'm back again to build yet another one with your help. I have a question for you, I was using an Envato template for my site but some of the pages (contact us, coming soon page) in the template require me to download elementor pro. I don't want to do that right now, so my question is, can I or is it possible to use some pages from a different template in Envato? Does the same theme pack have to be used through out the site or I can pick and choose some from one theme pack and some from another? Hope my question makes sense. Also, do you have a tutorial of how to add a coming soon page?
Hi Darrel, i have seen all your tutorial (2018/2019) and now 2020 and your way to teach is incredibly simple and clear! Great! i have a question for you, how to make a sticky vertical menu (possibly a kind of mega menu). Really appreciate if you can made a tutorial on this or if you have a quick suggest! thanks a lot!
Hi Darrel, Thanks for your professional explanation of Elementor. I was able to get a lot of information from it to create a website from scratch. Thank you mate. But I have a question about helpdesk. I would like a helpdesk portal on my website for my customers. I am looking for a free plugin. What do you recommend me to use for? Thank you again.
Hey darren, i love this tutorial. BTW I m new to web design with WP. Please tell me which one Elimentor or Flatsome is much better ? You know considering budget and still modern look for website. Thx
Hi Darrel, thanks for all the info you give us, it's great. If I make a website I really like and will use often, can I make a copy (clone) so I can just easily use it again and again? Regards, Steve Jones UK
Nice video! I am a little hesitant when buying elementor pro or beaver builder, the two visual constructors seem like great tools, I am only struck by the price of beaver builder and its graphical interface that is much simpler than elementor. However, I see that elementor has a little more options to make the pages a little more eye-catching. Which visual constructor would you recommend?
Give this man a medal. Darrel you deserve a MEDAL; GOLD MEDAL. You're winner because you gave us what you have (knowledge). Thank you SO SO SO SO SO MUCH.
I was about to pay a guy $500 for a web page. He sent me an example of his work. After I watched a few of your LOOOONGER videos; til the end; as I followed along, I sent him to your videos and FIRED him!!! I know NOTHING about web design or building. Clearly he didn't either. THANK YOU SIFU
Brand new to this, putting a website together for my business. I am also putting other websites together for my non profit organizations. Thank you so much!!!
Great video! Question: after choosing a theme.. are u able to later down the line change the theme and if so what would happen if the theme is changed?
Always good to go back to basics occasionally and update things, nice job Darrel as always.😃 This is also a good built in tutorial for how Elementor works.
Thanks Darrel! Two quick questions. Elementor or Brizy? I have heard positive things about both. Also, as far as hosting, I went with Host Gator and tried to upgrade to their multi-page version and was told I would have to pay full price since I got my one-time discount. Would this be the same with Site Ground?
both are pretty solid,. If you are using hostgator, RUN. Their hosting sucks and i have the best web hosting video to prove it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sIQ_LGL7cB8.html Brizy is also solid for a free builder. You can uses either builder :)
Really appreciate your work Darrel... Just a quick help can you suggest a themes or plugins to build up a site like fiverr where two logins are involved i.e clients and customers.. Thanks man
Hello! Thanks for this :) I purchased your course on udemy a couple of years ago and came here for the update. Any idea how I can make my top logo on Astra bigger than the 600px allowed? Thanks
I'm at 19:24. My text is above or below my image. How do I put text over the image, like you did? I'm trying to build exactly like your sample, before getting creative. Thanks. Edit: Got it. You have to load in a section first, click 'classic' THEN load in the image. Thanks, Darrel. I'm a refugee from other 2020 wordpress tutorials that had me losing my mind. Yours has got me hopeful that I will learn Elementor.
Thank you so much for the tutorial, I think yours is so much easyyy to follow and the steps are also very clear. Once again thank you, May God bless you and your family ☺
Thank you Darrel for this amazing Tutorial. You didn't miss a beat. Your were so thorough with all your information and categories. This tutorial definitely will help me improve my WordPress website. Your are the best. Thank you so much. Diane
Out of all the folks I follow and videos I've watched after finding your channel a week ago I can't say enough how thankful I am for your teaching. I am purchasing Elementor Pro today and I'm using your link in the description below - I hope that's an affiliate link so you get credit... I am having trouble with your website link though, fyi.
Hey Darrel. I was wondering how you record yourself without having a box or circle around yourself? Do you do this during editing? Let me know pls. Thanks.
Hi Darrel, great video as always, thank you! I tried to use the envato elements plugin not too long ago, it kept freezing everything and the templates I tried would not be imported (I tried a few as a test), I eventually deactivated and deleted. Have you had any problems with it, or are they better now?
Hey man!!! I loved it!!! YOU SERIOUSLY MADE MY LIFE SO EASIER!!! one question though... :-CAN I ADD A PERSONAL VIDEO TO THE HOME PAGE, INSTEAD OF THE TEMPLATE ONE??
Haha thanks for another great tutorial yet to watch it.. I am curious, you have done a lot of work with elemantor. Is it a good theme to learn and practise. I use Divi at the moment
Great work Darrel! This helped me take my poorly created website to entirely new level (I ain't a tech savvy). I just loved your complete walkthrough! Thanks!
Hi Darrel ! Excellent video ! thank you so much for sharing !, do you know about a similar plugin to Envato that has free templates tu build "blogs" ? cheers again !
Hi Darrel, thank you for the video. I'm currently watching it, and I have 2 questions (sorry if they're stupid 😅). First: does all if that works as well when trying to redesign an existing website? And also: why did you download Elementor from their website, rather than just searching for it in the plugin section of Wordpress please? Is there a difference between the two?
1. You should only use one page builder. So if you have an existing part of a website, it won’t be compatible. 2. Incase the plugin temporarily becomes unavailable on Wordpress (happens rarely) , the website will always also have the latest copy
@@darrelwilson Thank you for your answer. I created a simple wordpress blog last year (just with a free wordpress template), but now I would like to give it a more professional look, by adding a static home page that I can customize (rather than just having the latest posts). So you're saying that it won't work if I try to use Elementor to do that ? What else can I do then?
Hi, i am Nylo Armany, and i would like to say that, you are so so funny, specifically when you said ''My life is terrible, my dog doesn't like me ect...'' i have laughed a lot. hands down, you are the best. not only on your amazing #JOB but also on the fact that you know how to make it simple and funny. my first time to see your video. i am struggling to built my website but thanks to you , it is going to be easy cause i have learnt a lot with elementor.
Hi Darrel, just started your udemy course! I am trying to sign up for a domain and apparently siteground is not available in New Zealand? What are some great alternatives ? Thank you!
Thank you sooooo much for this super helpful tutorial 😍 !! I couldn't find a good tutorial in French but thankfully I speak English ! My website is almost ready thanks to you ! You explained everything 😍 and using Elementor & Envato makes it so much easier 😍!! Merciiiiii ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kindly Darell, If you save all your pages as templates(while using bitnami) can you then install wp using this domain method, then import your saved templates? Or how would you do it, are there precautions to consider? Andyou did not show us how to put tags on the (products) single item window. Please do. And... Thanks a bunch!
Thanks Darrel: I’m making a website for my own high-end music company that plays for weddings & corporate events, so it has to look pro. I can’t wait to start. (Videos are key to the site!!!!! ) btw, I discovered Siteground years ago and love them. 🙏 Wish me luck.
Hey Darrel, can't you just install the Elementor plugin by adding it directory from the WordPress repository? Just wondering is there any difference installing it this way than from having to visit their website, register & download, and then having to upload it to WordPress?
Darrel, this is the best WP tutorial I have seen. Thanks, man. I can feel my frustration draining away as I track along on my own site. Does your online course have different info? Cuz, I will certainly purchase it, if so.
Hi Darrel! I have a small dilemma. My menu options are different from yours. I have desktop horizontal..desktop expanded..mobile..footer.. and social. Which do I choose? Thanks in advance.
Thanks Darrel---yours is the first tutorial I have actually watched to the end---you make it very clear---I have a few bugs to work out but the website is definitely presentable---will now be doing your Yoast tutorial. Thanks!
IS it true that Elementor has issues with running Adsense ads? The options are limited and the site breaks. I am looking to build a site which can be monetized. would Elementor be a good option to build it in the first place of go with an ad sense optimized theme for word press .In between your tuts are amazing :)
Great video! I'd like to have my homepage as a static page (banner and intro) with some of the latest posts also displayed underneath like a classic blog. Wordpress only allows one way or the other. How do you get around this?
Hi Darrel. My first time I met you (your RU-vid channel) was about 2 year ago with “how to make Wordpress website 2019”, it was great tutorial, easy to work through, thank you for that. Now I came back to another round and something don’t work for me, in the beginning I had to install “classic editdor” because I didn’t have the same layout/appearance. Now I’m after the menu part (10:54) and when I click on one of me page I set I get 404. So my question is what I do wrong?
you mean your logo? you can go grab and image widget and than upload it any spot, than you can also upload it on the menu in the theme customizer under header
