This is hands down the best tutorial videos I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I love how it’s not an in-depth tutorial, it’s more like you’re building the website on your own with commentary on what you’re doing. I absolutely love it. Thank you
Much better then the tutorial I got from the guy who I paid to build my basic website. Won't be needing him anymore!
Hello, Wes. This is, without a doubt, one of the most important tutorial videos I've ever seen. You delivered the subject justice, and your explanations were straightforward and helpful. For everything you do, you deserve a gold standard award. Thank you very much!

Hey Wes! Excellent and complete presentation of building a landing page in WP. But this was so much more. You did a fantastic job of 'demystifying' the many different facets of the dashboard in Elementor, and how many of the regularly needed and used functions actually work. This was a great tutorial in both building a landing page and how to use the most popular elements in the dashboard. Bookmarked for sure. I'll be re-reviewing this video numerous times until it's second nature. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you so much for these kind words 🙌
We totally agree with you @CMG Web. We just created our own landing page from scratch with the help of this video. Huge value has been added. Thank you Wes.
@@WesMcDowellInc Hi Wes, how do we adjust our landing page to fit on a cellphone screen Our landing page looks very nice on a laptop or desktop, but it is totally disorganised on a cellphone screen. Appreciate your help.
OMG Wes, I've been looking for something like this, THANK YOU!!! I've been fiddling with wordpress for weeks and hated it. Elementor is awesome!!!
That's fantastic Dave & good luck w/ your site! 😀
I am Midway through this, and thank you so much!
You are so welcome! 😀👍
you save me! thank YOU! you're a master!
You are most welcome Emma! cheers 🙌😀
Hi Wes, you are indeed a teacher, super cool video, you teach so well, I call you Elementor king.
Wow, thanks. That's huge. Glad you liked the video.
Wow! It's nice.
Searching Landing page design-related videos. But quality full video not found. Suddenly your video came in front of me. I learn a lot of knowledge from this Video. Thanks the core of my heart.
Thanks so much, so happy to help!
This was a great and super helpful video! Thanks!
You're so welcome!
Super helpful. It's about to save me a ton of time now that you outlined so much for me. Thank you
I'm so glad Fran! Cheers 😀👍
You are a badass brother, so concise and gentle with you knowldge and teachings, thank you for another golden nugget 🥇
Phenomenal tutorial, one of the best I've seen! Super useful. Thank you!
ON The CTA is it pretty simple to add an email signup that is linked with my klaviyo?
Glad it was helpful Jordan!
@@WesMcDowellInc I put an email form signup in at the top where you put the CTA at. Do you have a tutorial on how to activate that? How to link it to my kaviyo? Thanks!
Thanks for making these videos. They're very helpful! Do you have any content catered towards mobile site design? I find it difficult to translate designs like this to such a small screen! Thanks
THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving up your time to make this tutorial. I have been paying for Elementor for a few years and have never used it as I didn't have a clue how to get started. You have made this task so much easier for me, and I will now start actually using it to create landing pages for my products. Thank you 😀
Awesome Julie! 🙌 Thx for the nice words and for watching. You got this! 😎
@@WesMcDowellInc I hope to press publish by tomorrow. You have made this task so much more do-able for a non techie person like me. Thank you so much. Have a great week 😄
really loving it
Awesome video!!! 🎉 I’m going to apply this!!!
Please do! Is it for a lead magnet, or something else?
To book a call for web design. Question, do we add a main menu beside the logo?
Thank you for super useful video! you helped me wrap my hear around this subject
That's excellent Omri! 😊👍
Wes thanks for the content!! I always find myself coming back to your videos very nicely done! Based on your experience, do you think this is a good landing page template for a service-based business that you may use to funnel Google pay per click offers?
thank you so much. Excellent tutorial
You are welcome Eddie ! 🙌
very nice tutorial on WP website builder. Thanks lot for sharing such a great lesson.
You're most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. 😉
It seems almost all the folder library options are mostly pro now. I can barely find anything free. But this tutorial is amazing!
Great video thanks.
You're welcome! 😀👍
great job, man! You are amazing.
Thanks for the kind words 😊 and for watching Adiyan!
gamechanger brother!
Thanks Ricardo 👍
Hi, Wes. Thanks a bunch for this tutorial. I've redesigned my WP site a half-dozen times or more, always using what I know or am learning. Elementor sits unused because I couldn't make sense of it. (Ummm... a YT would've answered my Qs. Duh!). In fairness, I'm 100% all-in as I build my microbiz after retiring early from teaching. Looks like today was the day to learn how PERFECT Elementor is for me. The building blocks fit nicely in my left-brain, organized teacher thinking - as I redesign for my creative business site. LOL Thanks so much. I've even already looked into the Pro version (not finished watching yet). If there's an affiliate link, I'll check it out.
Building a site is def a perfect mix and match of left & right brain thinking, a little technical and a little creative 😃 Thx for watching
Thanks. I am creating one.
Best of luck and have fun! 😁
this is great thanks
Glad you like it, Joe! Thanks for watching! :)
Good Stuff.....thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! 😊
Very nice video bro 😎 🙏
Thanks ✌️
Hello Wes, I came back to say thank you for this video. I watched it as a guide about six months ago and was able to create a website for a client. It's expedient at this point to put out how bad a designer I am...lol.
But with your videos, I was able to build a website from the stretch, and to my surprise my client loved it.
I'm a speaker, with several micro-communities of small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs who want to build profitable online businesses (most want to build their first website).
Unfortunately, I don't have much time right now to create a website for them. But want to recommend they do it themselves.
Guess what? I fall in love with the poppins font. :-)
As a way of appreciation and support for the great work done on your platform, I would want to introduce this video and your channel to them.
I hope few ends up enrolling in your masterclass.
Thank you for your generous content.
Your Fan,
Philip
Thank you so much for watching and referring the video Philip! I love hearing success stories. Keep it up!
Awsome video thanks! I'm looking forward to replicating it using Kadence themes
Go for it and have fun! 😁
Helpful!
Thanks Tony!
Hi Wes, thank for the great tutorial - I find that when I make changes on my landing page and then click on Update. I get the following error message - Server error (403 forbidden). any ideas
Hey I bought Wordpress pro recently. If i build the page through Elemontor, does Wordpress host the Landing Page? Or must I go through a hosting platform first as you did at the beginning? Thanks!
thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! 😊
Hummm the bottom waves don't work for me, but funnily the top did work. Beside that, really love your video! Thanks
Hey Wes, Your content is always amazing. I prefer to only watch your videos as they are the best. I always share your videos. I have created the landing page in this video. However, how would you suggest I do the next page to collect their name email, and phone number? Thanks for taking the time to respond to all your comments and for all the time you have put into your amazing content.
Hey Trevor - thanks for the kind words! 😀👍 Next up I would create a lead magnet to collect emails. I made a video about what to do/not do when creating one: ua-cam.com/video/ZhGY67SPk4w/v-deo.html
hi what if you already have a website set up? can you add that site and have it as a seperate page?
Hi Wes, thank you for this amazing tutorial. I have just launched my page following the steps here. I have one question. Maybe you can help. I want to make the page into a template. Then I click "save as template" in Elementor, and the pop-up window asks me to name the template, but I can't type into the field. I tried Chrome and Microsoft Edge. I have a pro subscription. What am I doing wrong? Any tips are appreciated.
Hey there! If I follow these steps to create a landing page, am I able to add stripe payment details to it? Thanks
The "minimum height" option is not on my version here. I just downloaded it 2 weeks ago... so maybe they changed something. Was trying to follow along, but that one thing totally lost me. I'm thinking may this was a pro version thing..... Still, the video is fantastic... I can make it work.. will just have to figure out how to work around that issue.
Your tutorial is amazing- Thanks so very much! But, I lost you on something in the settings, surely because of recent updates. Do you have a more current video? And, how can I get chat support from Wordpress?
Hi Leslie, here is my most recent landing page tutorial ua-cam.com/video/UC9pTtrhFys/v-deo.html and my wordpress tutorial ua-cam.com/video/Rtob9_sHhFw/v-deo.html
I'm new to wordpress. I followed everything in your tutorial. How do I publish this created page as a landing page only and not a site? (i dont have a wordpress site set up).
Hi Wes.. Thanks for this tutorial. Though, I have a question. Is it possible to create a landing page on WordPress if I already have a website built on there already?
I tried creating a landing page on my WordPress account where I have my website built but when I added new page and started designing with elementor, it kept on bringing the header and footer of my website and I couldn't get rid of it.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks.
Hey Wes can I switch to building this way if I use generatepress theme currently?
Hi Wes, this is one of the best videos on this subject. Very well explained and easy to follow. Just a couple of questions: so I add all these CTA buttons. Where do people go from there when they click it? What link do I need to add so people will leave their email address with me? It needs some additional steps for that, right? If I'd like to give them a pdf for instance, what are the additional steps for that?
Hey - you want a lead magnet to build your list and connect that to your email software. Check out this info for more info about list building & email marketing:

@@WesMcDowellInc Thanks for getting back to me.
Hi Wes, Thank you a lot for this tutorial. But I have a problem here with publishing... After I pressed to publish, I cannot see my landing page displayed. all I see is my domain name, the word ARCHIVES and ALL RIGHT RESERVED. but not a landing that I was building 4 days... Kindly advice. Thank you in advance.
Pls help, I already have a website in the same domain and I just want to make a new landing page, but it says that a new theme will affect my old theme of the website? So I need to make a subdomain?
Also, are you already on a premium wordpress plan to get that plugin?
I've gone from 0% in wordpress to Hero in 48mins.😊
That is great to hear! good job 👍
Hi Wes, I have been trying to install the Elementor theme, however it is telling me that I need to have an upgrade in order to install it. Is that new?
Your tutorial is very helpful from scratch, pls how do I post my new landing page on Facebook and WhatsApp?
Awesome, but how to add different fb pixels, conversion pixels etc
Whenever I tried using the overlay and gradient my image completely disappeared. I have played with it over and over trying to figure out why I cannot see the image anymore. I adjusted the opacity but regardless the image is no longer visible. I'm sure it's a quick fix but I haven't figured it out yet. Any help welcome! Thanks for the video.
Does the design look good on mobile?
Hi, thanks for making great content!
We're looking to have our WooCommerce plugins featured on your channel. As WordPress tutorials. Is that possible?
We know it can take up lots of your time, but please if that's possible, let us know how you charge for it.
Hi Wess, I have a concerning question. When I purchased the Wordpress subscription through their website it didn’t allow me to use any of the tools you are showing on this video.
Did I have to go through your referral code to access all these plugins ? As of today I have premium Wordpress plan but I cannot access the Hello Elementor plugin
Did you purchase THROUGH wordpress, or did you just get wordpress hosting on another webhost? I've never gone through wordpress themselves, so i don't know what limits they would put on it.
This is the best tutorial I've ever done. Have created a really nice landing page, but I'm pulling my hair out trying to get my transparent logo to line up at the top of the page like yours does, please help
How can I contact you ?. Have something great to discuss.
is elementor pro required for this?
Hi I have one question that I am not really sure about. But can a landing page have a header and footer? Because when I create a landing page in elementor it automatically deletes header I have on my website. But I personally think that header should be on landing page because what if the clients did not find everything on the landing page and they want to know more? So should I have a header and footer on landing page or CAN you even have a header and footer on landing page?
I think header and footer is must thing for every website whether its landing page or a actual website
I have to pay 300$ for a business plan to use this them on Wordpress, is there an alternate?
