In this WordPress website tutorial, we will be creating a website using the free version of Elementor and the Hello theme. If you've yet done so, get your hosting with Bluehost: https://davidutke.com/bluehost'>https://davidutke.com/bluehost

In this step 1 to done tutorial video, I'm going to layout Elementor basics for beginners on how to create a great looking website for a small business, personal website or online portfolio. Elementor is a feature rich page builder that pairs really well with the Hello theme.

The only downside of the free version of Elementor is your lack of ability to customize the blog roll as well as individual blog posts. If you want to blog, upgrade to Elementor Pro.
