I just finished watching the entire 3.30-hour tutorial and it is the best I have ever watched and I have learned a ton of information which will make my website building much easier. You are an amazing teacher and I thank you for taking the time to create these for us to use. I especially like the way, when you talk, there are no ums and aws which is very distracting. You are very clear and easy to understand. Looking forward to watching more tutorials.
Hi Josh, I'm a Wordpress web developer for like half an year until the other day i came across elementor plugin and i knew i was home!! But i needed something to walk me through building pages with elementor on areal learning level and i can say i have used your learning to create a website for a client which i will share later on. I think you saved me thousands of dollars i would have to pay for web development pro schools. May God bless you abundantly!!
Best video ever. So specific, you made what could have been very confusing and overwhelming very manageable and I am not a tech savvy person. Can't wait to watch the other videos.
I came across this video and no I haven't gone through the whole video yet but so appreciate someone who puts so much time to teach others what he knows for FREE. Yes he has an affiliate link but you've got to appreciate his transparency and openness about his approach. For the lack of a better word, BRAVO is what I could describe this tutorial. You are awesome man. Thank you!!!!!
Josh, I have to say that this is the BEST tutorial I've come across on You Tube. I thought I could easily jump from the Weebly site I created to WP, but I was sorely mistaken and realized I still needed a drop and drag approach. I came across this video after deciding on Elementor and I was really blown away by how well you have walked us through step by step in such a way that we non-techie people can understand. So very helpful. Keep up the amazing work you do! Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Wow!What a meticulously thorough Teacher you are! This is what adding Value looks like! excellent in-depth detail! Loved it. Learned a ton! New sub! God bless you! x
Hi Johs, my hats off to you! Amazing, amazing tutorial! I hate tutorials that say "Build a website in so and so steps OR so and so minutes." They are all crappy! But you come out as genuine! You make the facts clear - what is required and who should do it! Then you proceed on to give every detail of the process step by step! This is a free website builder which could have easily cost way more. Thanks so much.
This is excellent. I particularly like the time stamp table of contents.That is absolutely brilliant! That really adds tremendous value to what you are teaching because I can easily navigate to a specific area in the video. How did you do that? Also, in your video where you talk about inputting your domain name on a domain you already own, isn't there a gap of time if you are pulling a domain from another host? How does that work if say I wanted to move all my domains from my current host to hostgator? Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. It's one of the best I've seen.
Hey Pat, thank you so much! All you have to do is type in the video description the time using hours:minutes:seconds so it looks like 2:31:05 (2 hours 31 minutes 5 seconds) and TH-cam automtically makes that a time stamp...So that is a great question. You're actually referring to "domain name transfers". You can transfer your domain names and that would definitely take some time but fortunately, it usually isn't necessary. In the video, when you type in your domain (while signing up for hosting), the method you will end up using is actually keeping your domain name registered with whatever company you have it currently registered with (godaddy for example). All your doing is pointing the Domain Name Servers (DNS) to your new hosting company and that is what hostgator will give you instructions for. This is generally as simple as logging in to your domain name account (godaddy account for example) and accessing the DNS settings and changing the 2 domain name servers to the 2 that Hostgator gives you and saving them. Then, it can take up 24-48 hours to propogate but last time I did it, it was almost instantaneous. It can depend on things like your physical location, and your internet service provider. Hope that helps and again, thank you so much for the wonderful compliments, it means a lot!
Oh my God. Seriously. The most extensive video and tutorial I have ever come across. It's a crash course in 3 hrs to pretty much everything you need to build a website.
wpSculptor wow!!!! I am having a break from work right now and i have been googeling for something like this for a few days now! Watched the first 5 min and already i understand better than other websites explanations or tutorials. Cant wait to go home and watch the whole video!
Probably the best WP tutorial I have ever come across. In the first few minutes, the clarity and delivery were of the highest quality and the inclusion of the Time Stamp is greatly appreciated. I have already built a number of WP websites but the quality of this tutorial is such that I intend to spend a lot of time in the next week watching this as I know I there is a lot I can learn here. I liked the video and subscribed as anybody who produces such high quality content, deserves support. Thank you for a first class tutorial.
This tutorial is far better than the $99+ Udemy courses. The course is set out in easy steps that anyone can understand - even a complete beginner. Josh has done a fantastic job with this video.
Hi Josh, I just want to say how fantastic this tutorial is. I have been watching your videos for a few years now they have helped me along the way to creating my first and later more sites. I have spent weeks trying to find a website template that would suit the site I want build. The Elementor is just what I needed. Your instructions are spot on, clear and easy to follow. Thank you so much Josh I look foreward to you next video.
I stumbled through a bunch of other tutorials before this one and was left frustrated. This was SOOO helpful and appreciated. Thank you so much. Your instructions were clear and after watching all of your tutorial I'm left feeling confident in building my own site. So grateful. You rock, dude!
Hi Josh, your tutorials are top notch. As a non native speaker I have no trouble to follow your tutorial and as Joerg said, you are excellent in both categories which are being a teacher and knowing what you talk about. I want to add that you know where to start and and what to repeat so that one grasp it and is not getting bored. Your timing and speed is fantastic. I am coming back to re-do my Wp side and I forgot nearly all of it - Except where to look for tutorial. Now I need to listen to your e-commerce tutorial and I guess I will be up and running in no time. Elementor is a fantastic part of this game and I am so happy to be able to use it. Keep up your fantastic tutorials work.
Wow, this was an awesome video. I looked at a lot of videos to help me learn WordPress. Nothing was what I wanted until I found this one. I wanted one that would allow me to create a WordPress site from scratch. This one did it! Also, I love your style of discussion. It was easy to follow. Your voice and the way you describe things was easy to follow. Also, I like the way that you went over the same thing but with different examples. I just sat back and watched the whole thing. I am sure that I will go back and re-watch parts. At first I thought that I would watch just part of the video but as I got more and more into it, I realized that everything you taught was something that I might use. Thank you for a well put together tutorial. The best I have ever seen on any subject!
An amazing tutorial. I have been struggling with WordPress for weeks and weeks until watching Josh's intuitive and well structured step by step tutorial. Unlike many other tutorial's I've watched, this video doesn't just spend a few minutes speeding through some aspects of WordPress but goes into the step by step detail of designing a professional website. It is impressive how Josh spends a full three-and-a-half hours articulating how to use WordPress in this easy to follow tutorial. Thanks Josh for the great job!
I learned about your TH-cam tutorials from another first time web designer in a local coffee shop. Wow, your WP videos are incredibly helpful and amazing. I had watched other peoples' tutorials and they were no where near as in depth. I like how you don't move very quickly and explain everything in detail for first timers from the domain, hosting, passwords, and then the web design. Your calm and slow voice makes it easy to follow along and take notes, unlike many other videos out there. Thank you so much for the help.
i've watched both your 3hour+ tutorials on how to build Wordpress website using DIVI and Elementor Page Builder, i must say that every single minute spending on it was worth it, many thanks
Best tutorial I've seen on Generate Press & Elementor. Actually starts at a true beginner level unlike most tutorials. Felt like I'd graduated from a class on web design by the time I reached the end. Off to find your next video!
Just finished watching the whole video. Took me about 8 hours as I was building a replica of the site you made while also trying several options you mentioned. It looks awesome. Thank you very much, you are a born instructor and I will be looking up all your other videos. I will definitely upgrade Elementor to Unlimited and make sure you get referral credit for this. I was about to take a course for WP that would have cost me over $500 with less results than this amazing and comprehensive tutorial.
Hello Josh! I watched this video to its entirety and I wanted to say I'm so glad I found your channel. I've been searching and looking for the right tutorial to building my own website and not one of the ones I checked compared to this tutorial. I'm still not 100% sure how I want my site to look but at least now I'm more confident that I can do this and have the knowledge that I can always rewatch this video to go back to when I'm stuck with a certain process. I probably won't create such a detailed site like the one you did in this tutorial since I'm only doing a travel blog and probably won't have as much content as you did but I'm excited nonetheless to get started, still feeling overwhelmed but I just have to move forward and get it started. Thank you so much for creating this video. I am very greatful!
I've watched a lot of tutorials recently about wp and building a site. This is the absolute best tutorial I've seen. Nothing left out. Plenty of explanation about jargon terms. Truly step-by-step AND recs on additional services are SOLID. Saying "THANKS" just doesn't seem enough. Thank you!
Nicolas, that is amazing, I really appreciate that! I'm so glad you found the video to be so helpful. Thanks for taking the time to leave such a detailed response and you are very welcome!
This video should set the standard of all instructional videos. This IS how it should be done. Many content creators be taking notes. Thank you for great work.
Thank you for making this video so long!! And, for speaking clearly and slowly. Also, for considering "true beginners", for being so thorough, for not leaving things out, for not assuming your audience knows everything that you know, for not being in a rush to finish, and a few others... (feel free to add to the list people)...
I already build websites and I love Elementor! I came across your video because I wanted to find a comprehensive tutorial with tips and tricks to use Elementor more effectively and efficiently. You definitely covered everything and I love the time stamp links! Great idea because I can watch the parts of the video I was looking for any time. I also grabbed your PDF. Great video!
You are an incredible instructor, the best one I've encountered on TH-cam. Thank you sooo much for all your time and effort in preparing this highly detailed instructional video.
Amazing video - thanks so much. I started using Elementor a few weeks ago and while it is a great page builder I struggled a bit until now. You're a great teacher, thanks again.
Mad Respect for the effort put in here. If I wasn't already hosting through Digital Ocean, I'd use your affiliate link, too. This video needs much higher rank for all searches related to Wordpress! I so needed this like 6 months ago! You are so thorough and detailed, a kindred spirit, my friend. Thank you for enriching the internet. B)
Simply amazing. Clear, structured, sensibly paced and well presented. This is the way that tutorial videos should be done. Thank you for such comprehensively excellent tutorial. You efforts are very much appreciated.
Excellent, excellent Josh. Certainly one of the best tutorials I have watched in my many years. Very clear explanations. And thanks for tipping me off about that Generate Press template. Very clean and functional.
I don't usually comment on tutorial videos, but this one had all my doubts cleared. This is such a simple and clean tutorial. Thanks a ton man! You've done a great job!
I have never loved a stranger..I fell in love with your work man..this is awesome ..easy, clear and it make me look like a gigantic IT geek even though i did't know a thing before your video..Thank you sir! Its full off education. I am officially Elementor fan.
Terrific! This is the most clearly communicated comprehensive website tutorial I have seen. I have just switched to Generate Press & Elementor and am working on two sites at the moment and you make it easy to understand. You set it up exactly as I wanted it with "main pages" and blog layout system. Very well explained- perfectly done. Thank you!
Thank you so much Chris, that means a lot! I definitely work hard to make things clear and concise so I really appreciate you noticing and taking the time to let me know! Good luck with both of your sites, I hope they turn out really well!
Amazing tutorial. So clear and easy to follow. And including a time stamp of contents. Pure genius. Why on earth would anyone leave thumbs down, but then there are some idiots out there. 24 at the last count. This is superb. I'm blown away by this.
Josh, you rock!! You have a voice that captivates the listener in a very positive way. Plus you have a way of communicating the learning experience to ensure that even the "kids who lag behind" get a quick recap at all critical junctures. Thank you for helping me grow, and I dare say, a multitude of others who have watched your videos. You remind me of my school teachers from 40 years back (there were, however, repercussions for failure back then). You seem to make it literally "painless" to learn and acquire knowledge. Thank you for supporting the Internet community in your area of specialization. Hope and you have a great year ahead in 2017 and beyond. Cheers. Ravi Menon
Wow Ravi, your kind words are so inspiring! Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know and for leaving such fantastic compliments! You are most welcome and I'm so glad you have benefited so much from my videos. I wish you all the best with your future endeavors.
I have watched 50 minutes so far while working on my website. All that I can say is THANK YOU!!! It requires doing some navigation since things have changed in the past 3 years, but it helps me to get familiar with the program. Although, an updated version will be great ;)
as you know there is many tutorial videos. i'm going to say your tutorial is the best. you are really good teacher and now it's 3 am, from yesterday 10 am till now, non stop i did watch your video and did one by one, in fact there are some questions, but totally i made what i wanted and it's because your great teaching, THANKS A LOT DEAR TEACHER.
Hey Josh, I want to appreciate you for your time and professionalism in bringing on this tutorial. I can't thank you enough man!!!. I have subscribed to your channel and I'm going to watch your other videos. You've helped me greatly.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this tutorial a more slowly learning pace but covering all the valuable details regarding this feature-rich Elementor Page Builder. It took me 4 sittings and half a notebook to note all the necessary steps to embellish the page layout that I have always wanted to know. I'm so glad now I think I can do it. Your voice is clear, your attention to details is second to none that make you an ideal instructor for wordpress beginners like me. Bravo!
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words! It is so great to hear that you learned so much and took so many notes! That will definitely serve you well as you construct your site. I wish you all the best with your online endeavors!
Dude, I happened across you today and had to take a moment to say that you are an awesome instructor. You cut to the chase, don't waste time with BS chit-chat, don't 'Um, and uh..." and are frankly, the leanest & meanest teacher I've seen. Moreover, when I change the speed to 1.25 or 1.5 it's even better, as there is so much I already know, but your process refreshes my memory. Thanks and I'm sure I'll be watching/learning more! Happy New Year.
The only tutorial anyone interested in WordPress should watch. In fact, this is the best beginner's guide to WordPress on TH-cam, I appreciate the hard work by other TH-camrs as well but this one goes in very detail. Liked, subscribed and commented :) Best wishes for the channel.
You have literally helped me develop and build the website that I had envisioned! I keep coming back here so that I can learn! Thank you so much, this is quite possibly the best tutorial I have watched!
Fantastic work! I have been working on building my business website for weeks now and just got Elementor Page Builder and I needed some help getting started. Thank you so much for taking the time to lay everything out so well!
After years of watching videos on TH-cam, this is the second time that I actually see someone who knows how to teach. This is a great tutorial, and sadly, and for some unknown reason to me, the up loader has not produced any contents, for over two years. I hope everything is fine with him. He still earned my like and sub. Thanks for a great upload and a wonderful job done. Looking forward to see new uploads.
Josh...I seldom comment on things like this, but I can't help it. I think this is the best tutorial ever...not just on tech/website/internet things...I mean the best tutorial on anything ever. I'm a totally non-technical person although I have struggled along with a couple of previous, very rudimentary WordPress sites. Nothing like this though. You were so thorough with just enough repetition to help "get" things but not so much as to make it too redundant or boring. It's taken me 3 days (not full time, of course) to get through it all with lots of going back and forth. I'm guessing these 3 days may save me 3 months or more of aggravation and frustration...maybe 3 years for all I know. I"m very happy with my new state of knowledge and the way my website is starting to shape up. It looks awesome. I'm sure I'll be going back to watch some parts over and over as I continue to build it out, but what a great start. I just want to commend you and thank you for such an amazing piece of work. You're the bomb. ...Best...Dexter PS - I'm going to go have a look at your tutorial on the Pro Version of Elementor next. I haven't bought it yet, but I suspect after getting a feel for it from your tutorial I'll end up with eventually.
Fabulous and comprehensive tutorial! Thanks Josh! I have been meaning to check out GeneratePress and Elementor for some time and this was an excellent introduction. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Wow!! Someone said to me last week 'why don't you give web-design a go. I reckon you'd be able to do it no problem and make your own sites'. I floated my first site the next day from start to finish but it was too robust and basic in design. But this, this tutorial is exactly what I need. Absolutely brilliant! Lots of thanks and respect coming from Manchester, UK.- Thomas Ash, MD at The MCR Self Storage Co. Ltd
Thomas, wow thank you so much. You are so very welcome and I wish you all the best with your Self Storage business and any online endeavors you pursue!
You should consider teaching others how to make instructional videos. This is by far the most thorough training video I have ever watched about anything. Your way of pointing out all possible ways of accomplishing a task is so very detailed. I think other instructional TH-camrs should watch this video just to learn how to cover all details of instruction in an organized clear and concise manner. Also, thanks for teaching me how to build an awesome site on Wordpress. I'm so glad I found this video. Thanks so much!!
This is the second time i have used Josh's tutorial's to make e website The way he bings you through the video step by step he makes it very simple even for the beginner absolutely brillant well done.
Thank you so much Susan, I'm so glad you've returned for this video and found it useful as well! I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know and for your wonderful compliment. I wish you all the best!
Made the switch from Divi + Divi Builder to Elementor + GP. Your tutorial might be the best I've ever come across from any genre across TH-cam. Seriously great tutorial that even my grandma could use to build a website haha
Thank you, Josh! I have been struggling with Wordpress for over a year!!! Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. Although I did not use the same template since I had already loaded the Sydney theme, I was still able to customize it per your instructions. Now, I only need to add the members only page and blog (whenever I am ready to start blogging). I am super duper proud. Thanks again.
This was the most indepth video I have found so far on youtube using the exact features, plugins and theme I myself have been playing around with. A very recommended video for anyone stuck on features and ideas like I was. Thanks for the video, much appreciated.
Outstanding tutorial covering all the details in a clear and concise manner. Elementor appears to be the perfect page builder for my next art site that will include my sculpture, videos and my writing. I recently published a site for another group of my artworks. I wish I had known about Elementor. I am a retired graphic designer and most Wordpress templates are very restrictive.
This was an amazing tutorial! I watched it beginning to end twice now. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for those of us who are new to WordPress. Elementor would've probably had a learning curve if I hadn't seen this video in which you explain all the features and interface of it so well. Thanks again, and keep up the good work my friend!
Hello Josh, Thank you for making this amazing tutorial. It is without a doubt the most comprehensive tutorial I have ever seen on You Tube - regardless of the topic. I am a technical writer with many years of creating user guides. This tutorial is the way tutorials should be designed and written.
Wow, Lionel thank you so much for that incredible feedback. That means a lot, especially coming from someone like you with your experience. Thanks for taking the time to let me know.
It took me couple of days watching these videos. At the end It was well worth effort as I learned a lot from it. Thank you Josh for your patience and willingness to help others.
wpSculptor Thanks, Brother, I have tried to follow many others to create a blog, you are by far the righteous cat of all. I followed and understood every word just pure English man and I am almost at the end wow blows my mind.
Hi there Josh! This is Wilkens from Fortaleza, Brazil. I would likr to thank you for this amazing video class! You are an excellent on-line tutor!!!! Thumbs up for your job!
One of the best and most comprehensive tutorials ever! Thanks. Sent email from your site for the PDF, nothing happened... should be great. Looking forward to the rest of your vids. Nice presentation and style. Great work. :)
It was very good tutorial. I am a novice in this field, but this tutorial got me stuck to it to the end. It was very educative and your clear narration very easy to follow.
I think I will begin posting on here everyday until you put out another video! This is the best, most comprehensive tutorial on WordPress and Elementor out there. But here's the thing: there's only ONE tutorial on the highly publicized, Elementor 2.0! Now bless DW for trying but that kid needs focus. Josh Jackson, you're the man for this! We need an E2.0 tutorial (Pro included). Love to get you back on TH-cam, m'man! Hope to see you soon.
I have followed this tutorial from start to finish and gone from zero knowledge to a website but am now concerned about my Generate Press theme needing updating and its warning "Please Note: Any customizations you have made to theme files will be lost. Please consider using child themes for modifications." I have posed the question to Josh but haven't received an answer. Does using Elementor and adding plug ins count as "customizations" or does that refer to other coding changes outside of what was in Josh's tutorial? Do i need to use a child theme before i update Generate Press is my question. I am thinking i do and that now this is something i will need to seek professional advice about. I have backed up to dropbox etc but couldnt bear to lose my website by updating my theme at this stage yet if i dont update google may not "like" my site.
We have a revision history feature, meaning all of your Elementor designs are backed up automatically when you save, as well as all the previous versions, so you never lose your design. GeneratePress is a theme created and maintained by Tom Osborne and you are welcomed to ask him about GeneratePress, he's a real nice and helpful fellow.
Thank you so much and you are very welcome! I appreciate you directing others to my tutorial. You guys have made an incredible contribution to the WordPress community and I'm glad to be able to contribute in my own little way.
Sir, you seems to be a great teacher in digital world. Students spent lot of money to gained the knowledge, but you can teach them free about secret techniques and ideas to succeed in free. Thanks
Josh, This is an excellent video. You explained fully using Elementor. I previously watched other videos about Elementor, but you explained fully and completely ! Thank you.
ABSOLUTELY FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!!! This is the best tutorial ever. Thank you so much for producing this (and others). I struggled with Wordpress and templates until I stumbled across Elementor Page Builder and then found this amazing tutorial. You have saved my sanity and a heck a lot of time and money. Thanks again.
Super fantastic Elementor video tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to create an extremely informative and thorough tutorial on how to use Elementor to create a WordPress website.
Amazing it was just what I was looking for for a long time. You are so easy to understand, thank you very much for three and a half teaching hours. Super with section sections, they give a great overview and are valuable during the upcoming work with my webpage. I am blown away, this is just so good. Now I will continue with your video about Elementor Pro. Thanks again - many greetings from Denmark Allan Kierulff
Thanks so much Josh! I went through the whole tutorial and replicated every step. Although, I am very familiar with WP. It was nice to have such a detailed step by step walkthrough for Elementor. Many who attempt to teach could take a lesson from you on how its supposed to be done. Very valuable info!!! I hope you do more on other related topics!
I just finished watching the entire 3.30-hour tutorial and it is the best I have ever watched and I have learned a ton of information which will make my website building much easier. You are an amazing teacher and I thank you for taking the time to create these for us to use. I especially like the way, when you talk, there are no ums and aws which is very distracting. You are very clear and easy to understand. Looking forward to watching more tutorials.
Marie, thank you so much for your incredibly kind words and the amazing feedback. Stay tuned for more tutorials.
Hi Josh,
I'm a Wordpress web developer for like half an year until the other day i came across elementor plugin and i knew i was home!! But i needed something to walk me through building pages with elementor on areal learning level and i can say i have used your learning to create a website for a client which i will share later on. I think you saved me thousands of dollars i would have to pay for web development pro schools. May God bless you abundantly!!
Best video ever. So specific, you made what could have been very confusing and overwhelming very manageable and I am not a tech savvy person. Can't wait to watch the other videos.
Thanks so much Julie, that means a lot!
I came across this video and no I haven't gone through the whole video yet but so appreciate someone who puts so much time to teach others what he knows for FREE. Yes he has an affiliate link but you've got to appreciate his transparency and openness about his approach. For the lack of a better word, BRAVO is what I could describe this tutorial. You are awesome man. Thank you!!!!!
This is exactly what the doctor ordered! My medicine for 2017.....and beyond.
Haha that is fantastic Hank, thank you so much! I wish you all the best in 2017 and many years to come!
Josh, I have to say that this is the BEST tutorial I've come across on You Tube. I thought I could easily jump from the Weebly site I created to WP, but I was sorely mistaken and realized I still needed a drop and drag approach. I came across this video after deciding on Elementor and I was really blown away by how well you have walked us through step by step in such a way that we non-techie people can understand. So very helpful. Keep up the amazing work you do! Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Wow!What a meticulously thorough Teacher you are! This is what adding Value looks like! excellent in-depth detail! Loved it. Learned a ton! New sub! God bless you! x

Hi Johs, my hats off to you! Amazing, amazing tutorial! I hate tutorials that say "Build a website in so and so steps OR so and so minutes." They are all crappy! But you come out as genuine! You make the facts clear - what is required and who should do it! Then you proceed on to give every detail of the process step by step! This is a free website builder which could have easily cost way more. Thanks so much.
This is excellent. I particularly like the time stamp table of contents.That is absolutely brilliant! That really adds tremendous value to what you are teaching because I can easily navigate to a specific area in the video. How did you do that? Also, in your video where you talk about inputting your domain name on a domain you already own, isn't there a gap of time if you are pulling a domain from another host? How does that work if say I wanted to move all my domains from my current host to hostgator? Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. It's one of the best I've seen.
Hey Pat, thank you so much! All you have to do is type in the video description the time using hours:minutes:seconds so it looks like 2:31:05 (2 hours 31 minutes 5 seconds) and TH-cam automtically makes that a time stamp...So that is a great question. You're actually referring to "domain name transfers". You can transfer your domain names and that would definitely take some time but fortunately, it usually isn't necessary.
In the video, when you type in your domain (while signing up for hosting), the method you will end up using is actually keeping your domain name registered with whatever company you have it currently registered with (godaddy for example).

Hope that helps and again, thank you so much for the wonderful compliments, it means a lot!
I so greatly appreciate you taking the time to respond to my questions in detail. It really helps a lot.
No problem, I'm happy to help.
Oh my God. Seriously. The most extensive video and tutorial I have ever come across. It's a crash course in 3 hrs to pretty much everything you need to build a website.
Damn son, this is what authority looks like
Haha, that's awesome. Thanks for the kind words!
wpSculptor wow!!!! I am having a break from work right now and i have been googeling for something like this for a few days now! Watched the first 5 min and already i understand better than other websites explanations or tutorials. Cant wait to go home and watch the whole video!
I have the same ! :-D Can't wait to get home from work to watch the whole video
HaHa .. LoL
Probably the best WP tutorial I have ever come across. In the first few minutes, the clarity and delivery were of the highest quality and the inclusion of the Time Stamp is greatly appreciated. I have already built a number of WP websites but the quality of this tutorial is such that I intend to spend a lot of time in the next week watching this as I know I there is a lot I can learn here. I liked the video and subscribed as anybody who produces such high quality content, deserves support. Thank you for a first class tutorial.
I'm only 3 minutes in and liked and subscribed .....and excited to get growing...love it brother
Reggie Pinkston me too
That's what i did too..
Yeah! I came here to write, "I'm only 2:22 into the video and I'm already in love."
This tutorial is far better than the $99+ Udemy courses. The course is set out in easy steps that anyone can understand - even a complete beginner. Josh has done a fantastic job with this video.
Elementor is amazing comparing to others visual design tools
Hi Josh, I just want to say how fantastic this tutorial is. I have been watching your videos for a few years now they have helped me along the way to creating my first and later more sites. I have spent weeks trying to find a website template that would suit the site I want build. The Elementor is just what I needed. Your instructions are spot on, clear and easy to follow. Thank you so much Josh I look foreward to you next video.
What a great tutorial! Thank´s a lot.
I stumbled through a bunch of other tutorials before this one and was left frustrated. This was SOOO helpful and appreciated. Thank you so much. Your instructions were clear and after watching all of your tutorial I'm left feeling confident in building my own site. So grateful. You rock, dude!
GREAT JOB. STRAIGHT TO THE WORK.
YOU SURE HELPED ME.
A. L. O. T. THANKS.
Hi Josh, your tutorials are top notch. As a non native speaker I have no trouble to follow your tutorial and as Joerg said, you are excellent in both categories which are being a teacher and knowing what you talk about. I want to add that you know where to start and and what to repeat so that one grasp it and is not getting bored. Your timing and speed is fantastic.
I am coming back to re-do my Wp side and I forgot nearly all of it - Except where to look for tutorial. Now I need to listen to your e-commerce tutorial and I guess I will be up and running in no time.
Elementor is a fantastic part of this game and I am so happy to be able to use it.
Keep up your fantastic tutorials work.
Wow, this was an awesome video. I looked at a lot of videos to help me learn WordPress. Nothing was what I wanted until I found this one. I wanted one that would allow me to create a WordPress site from scratch. This one did it! Also, I love your style of discussion. It was easy to follow. Your voice and the way you describe things was easy to follow. Also, I like the way that you went over the same thing but with different examples. I just sat back and watched the whole thing. I am sure that I will go back and re-watch parts. At first I thought that I would watch just part of the video but as I got more and more into it, I realized that everything you taught was something that I might use. Thank you for a well put together tutorial. The best I have ever seen on any subject!
An amazing tutorial. I have been struggling with WordPress for weeks and weeks until watching Josh's intuitive and well structured step by step tutorial. Unlike many other tutorial's I've watched, this video doesn't just spend a few minutes speeding through some aspects of WordPress but goes into the step by step detail of designing a professional website. It is impressive how Josh spends a full three-and-a-half hours articulating how to use WordPress in this easy to follow tutorial. Thanks Josh for the great job!
Extensive, Comprehensive and down right AWESOME! Your teaching style is easy to tolerate and you covered every single aspect of the page! BRAVO!!!
I learned about your TH-cam tutorials from another first time web designer in a local coffee shop. Wow, your WP videos are incredibly helpful and amazing. I had watched other peoples' tutorials and they were no where near as in depth. I like how you don't move very quickly and explain everything in detail for first timers from the domain, hosting, passwords, and then the web design. Your calm and slow voice makes it easy to follow along and take notes, unlike many other videos out there. Thank you so much for the help.
Wow Lisa, that means a lot. You are very welcome. Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words.
i've watched both your 3hour+ tutorials on how to build Wordpress website using DIVI and Elementor Page Builder, i must say that every single minute spending on it was worth it, many thanks
Best tutorial I've seen on Generate Press & Elementor. Actually starts at a true beginner level unlike most tutorials. Felt like I'd graduated from a class on web design by the time I reached the end. Off to find your next video!
Just finished watching the whole video. Took me about 8 hours as I was building a replica of the site you made while also trying several options you mentioned. It looks awesome. Thank you very much, you are a born instructor and I will be looking up all your other videos. I will definitely upgrade Elementor to Unlimited and make sure you get referral credit for this. I was about to take a course for WP that would have cost me over $500 with less results than this amazing and comprehensive tutorial.
Hello Josh! I watched this video to its entirety and I wanted to say I'm so glad I found your channel. I've been searching and looking for the right tutorial to building my own website and not one of the ones I checked compared to this tutorial. I'm still not 100% sure how I want my site to look but at least now I'm more confident that I can do this and have the knowledge that I can always rewatch this video to go back to when I'm stuck with a certain process. I probably won't create such a detailed site like the one you did in this tutorial since I'm only doing a travel blog and probably won't have as much content as you did but I'm excited nonetheless to get started, still feeling overwhelmed but I just have to move forward and get it started. Thank you so much for creating this video. I am very greatful!
I've watched a lot of tutorials recently about wp and building a site. This is the absolute best tutorial I've seen. Nothing left out. Plenty of explanation about jargon terms. Truly step-by-step AND recs on additional services are SOLID. Saying "THANKS" just doesn't seem enough. Thank you!
Nicolas, that is amazing, I really appreciate that! I'm so glad you found the video to be so helpful. Thanks for taking the time to leave such a detailed response and you are very welcome!
Amazing that this tutorial is almost a year old, but is still relevant and one of the better Elementor tutorials out there.
This video should set the standard of all instructional videos. This IS how it should be done. Many content creators be taking notes. Thank you for great work.
Thank you for making this video so long!! And, for speaking clearly and slowly. Also, for considering "true beginners", for being so thorough, for not leaving things out, for not assuming your audience knows everything that you know, for not being in a rush to finish, and a few others... (feel free to add to the list people)...
Wow, thank you so much for that. You are most welcome!
I already build websites and I love Elementor! I came across your video because I wanted to find a comprehensive tutorial with tips and tricks to use Elementor more effectively and efficiently. You definitely covered everything and I love the time stamp links! Great idea because I can watch the parts of the video I was looking for any time. I also grabbed your PDF. Great video!
You are an incredible instructor, the best one I've encountered on TH-cam. Thank you sooo much for all your time and effort in preparing this highly detailed instructional video.
Amazing video - thanks so much. I started using Elementor a few weeks ago and while it is a great page builder I struggled a bit until now. You're a great teacher, thanks again.
Mad Respect for the effort put in here. If I wasn't already hosting through Digital Ocean, I'd use your affiliate link, too. This video needs much higher rank for all searches related to Wordpress! I so needed this like 6 months ago! You are so thorough and detailed, a kindred spirit, my friend. Thank you for enriching the internet. B)
Simply amazing. Clear, structured, sensibly paced and well presented. This is the way that tutorial videos should be done. Thank you for such comprehensively excellent tutorial. You efforts are very much appreciated.
Excellent, excellent Josh. Certainly one of the best tutorials I have watched in my many years. Very clear explanations. And thanks for tipping me off about that Generate Press template. Very clean and functional.
I don't usually comment on tutorial videos, but this one had all my doubts cleared. This is such a simple and clean tutorial. Thanks a ton man! You've done a great job!
Tejasvi, that is great to hear! You are very welcome and thank you so much for commenting and letting me know!
I have never loved a stranger..I fell in love with your work man..this is awesome ..easy, clear and it make me look like a gigantic IT geek even though i did't know a thing before your video..Thank you sir! Its full off education. I am officially Elementor fan.
What a thoroughly and easily understandable professional presentation. One of the best I have seen. So glad I found you!
Terrific! This is the most clearly communicated comprehensive website tutorial I have seen. I have just switched to Generate Press & Elementor and am working on two sites at the moment and you make it easy to understand. You set it up exactly as I wanted it with "main pages" and blog layout system. Very well explained- perfectly done. Thank you!
Thank you so much Chris, that means a lot! I definitely work hard to make things clear and concise so I really appreciate you noticing and taking the time to let me know! Good luck with both of your sites, I hope they turn out really well!
I watched the entire tutorial several times and built my first ever website. Thank-you for your detailed explanations and calm teaching voice!
Hey Sarah, that is so fantastic to hear! Thank you so much for letting me know and for your compliments - it means a lot!
Amazing tutorial. So clear and easy to follow. And including a time stamp of contents. Pure genius. Why on earth would anyone leave thumbs down, but then there are some idiots out there. 24 at the last count. This is superb. I'm blown away by this.
Josh, you rock!! You have a voice that captivates the listener in a very positive way. Plus you have a way of communicating the learning experience to ensure that even the "kids who lag behind" get a quick recap at all critical junctures. Thank you for helping me grow, and I dare say, a multitude of others who have watched your videos. You remind me of my school teachers from 40 years back (there were, however, repercussions for failure back then). You seem to make it literally "painless" to learn and acquire knowledge. Thank you for supporting the Internet community in your area of specialization. Hope and you have a great year ahead in 2017 and beyond. Cheers. Ravi Menon
Wow Ravi, your kind words are so inspiring! Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know and for leaving such fantastic compliments! You are most welcome and I'm so glad you have benefited so much from my videos. I wish you all the best with your future endeavors.
I have watched 50 minutes so far while working on my website. All that I can say is THANK YOU!!! It requires doing some navigation since things have changed in the past 3 years, but it helps me to get familiar with the program. Although, an updated version will be great ;)
I have been at this for a month and got nowhere. Your tutorial is the best I have seen so far. Thanks so much. I am definitely a follower.
as you know there is many tutorial videos. i'm going to say your tutorial is the best. you are really good teacher and now it's 3 am, from yesterday 10 am till now, non stop i did watch your video and did one by one, in fact there are some questions, but totally i made what i wanted and it's because your great teaching, THANKS A LOT DEAR TEACHER.
I'm a beginner, and your video helped me to get a better understanding on where to start and how to work with WordPress. Thank you.
Hey Josh, I want to appreciate you for your time and professionalism in bringing on this tutorial. I can't thank you enough man!!!. I have subscribed to your channel and I'm going to watch your other videos. You've helped me greatly.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this tutorial a more slowly learning pace but covering all the valuable details regarding this feature-rich Elementor Page Builder. It took me 4 sittings and half a notebook to note all the necessary steps to embellish the page layout that I have always wanted to know. I'm so glad now I think I can do it. Your voice is clear, your attention to details is second to none that make you an ideal instructor for wordpress beginners like me. Bravo!
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words! It is so great to hear that you learned so much and took so many notes! That will definitely serve you well as you construct your site. I wish you all the best with your online endeavors!
Excellent tutorial on website building using Elementor and GeneratePress. Nothing left unexplained. Very thorough.
Dude, I happened across you today and had to take a moment to say that you are an awesome instructor. You cut to the chase, don't waste time with BS chit-chat, don't 'Um, and uh..." and are frankly, the leanest & meanest teacher I've seen. Moreover, when I change the speed to 1.25 or 1.5 it's even better, as there is so much I already know, but your process refreshes my memory. Thanks and I'm sure I'll be watching/learning more! Happy New Year.
I haven't even started watching your video, but by checking the comments section i can already tell i will learn a lot about your video.
The only tutorial anyone interested in WordPress should watch. In fact, this is the best beginner's guide to WordPress on TH-cam, I appreciate the hard work by other TH-camrs as well but this one goes in very detail.
Liked, subscribed and commented :)
Best wishes for the channel.
You have literally helped me develop and build the website that I had envisioned! I keep coming back here so that I can learn! Thank you so much, this is quite possibly the best tutorial I have watched!
Fantastic work! I have been working on building my business website for weeks now and just got Elementor Page Builder and I needed some help getting started. Thank you so much for taking the time to lay everything out so well!
After years of watching videos on TH-cam, this is the second time that I actually see someone who knows how to teach. This is a great tutorial, and sadly, and for some unknown reason to me, the up loader has not produced any contents, for over two years. I hope everything is fine with him.
He still earned my like and sub.
Thanks for a great upload and a wonderful job done. Looking forward to see new uploads.
Josh...I seldom comment on things like this, but I can't help it. I think this is the best tutorial ever...not just on tech/website/internet things...I mean the best tutorial on anything ever. I'm a totally non-technical person although I have struggled along with a couple of previous, very rudimentary WordPress sites. Nothing like this though. You were so thorough with just enough repetition to help "get" things but not so much as to make it too redundant or boring. It's taken me 3 days (not full time, of course) to get through it all with lots of going back and forth. I'm guessing these 3 days may save me 3 months or more of aggravation and frustration...maybe 3 years for all I know. I"m very happy with my new state of knowledge and the way my website is starting to shape up. It looks awesome. I'm sure I'll be going back to watch some parts over and over as I continue to build it out, but what a great start. I just want to commend you and thank you for such an amazing piece of work. You're the bomb. ...Best...Dexter PS - I'm going to go have a look at your tutorial on the Pro Version of Elementor next. I haven't bought it yet, but I suspect after getting a feel for it from your tutorial I'll end up with eventually.
Fabulous and comprehensive tutorial! Thanks Josh! I have been meaning to check out GeneratePress and Elementor for some time and this was an excellent introduction. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Love it! This is not the first tutorial I followed from you and once again, this is so well explained. Thank you!
Wow!! Someone said to me last week 'why don't you give web-design a go. I reckon you'd be able to do it no problem and make your own sites'. I floated my first site the next day from start to finish but it was too robust and basic in design. But this, this tutorial is exactly what I need. Absolutely brilliant! Lots of thanks and respect coming from Manchester, UK.- Thomas Ash, MD at The MCR Self Storage Co. Ltd
Thomas, wow thank you so much. You are so very welcome and I wish you all the best with your Self Storage business and any online endeavors you pursue!
You should consider teaching others how to make instructional videos. This is by far the most thorough training video I have ever watched about anything. Your way of pointing out all possible ways of accomplishing a task is so very detailed. I think other instructional TH-camrs should watch this video just to learn how to cover all details of instruction in an organized clear and concise manner. Also, thanks for teaching me how to build an awesome site on Wordpress. I'm so glad I found this video. Thanks so much!!
This is the second time i have used Josh's tutorial's to make e website
The way he bings you through the video step by step he makes it very simple even for the beginner absolutely brillant well done.
Thank you so much Susan, I'm so glad you've returned for this video and found it useful as well! I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know and for your wonderful compliment. I wish you all the best!
Made the switch from Divi + Divi Builder to Elementor + GP. Your tutorial might be the best I've ever come across from any genre across TH-cam. Seriously great tutorial that even my grandma could use to build a website haha
LOL, thank you so much for kind words! As you've seen, the GP/Elementor combination is very potent. I wish you all the best!
Thank you, Josh! I have been struggling with Wordpress for over a year!!! Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. Although I did not use the same template since I had already loaded the Sydney theme, I was still able to customize it per your instructions. Now, I only need to add the members only page and blog (whenever I am ready to start blogging). I am super duper proud. Thanks again.
Cathy, you are so very welcome and I'm so glad to hear that!
This is by far the most comprehensive tutorial I've seen, time stamps are very useful too, keep up the good work wpSculptor, subscribed!
This was the most indepth video I have found so far on youtube using the exact features, plugins and theme I myself have been playing around with. A very recommended video for anyone stuck on features and ideas like I was.
Thanks for the video, much appreciated.
2 Years long and still a great video! I have learnt a lot from you. Thanks a million for the insight!
Greatest tutorial about WordPress without coding ever!
Outstanding tutorial covering all the details in a clear and concise manner. Elementor appears to be the perfect page builder for my next art site that will include my sculpture, videos and my writing. I recently published a site for another group of my artworks. I wish I had known about Elementor. I am a retired graphic designer and most Wordpress templates are very restrictive.
One of the best Elementor tutorials I have ever seen
This was an amazing tutorial! I watched it beginning to end twice now. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for those of us who are new to WordPress. Elementor would've probably had a learning curve if I hadn't seen this video in which you explain all the features and interface of it so well. Thanks again, and keep up the good work my friend!
Hello Josh,
Thank you for making this amazing tutorial. It is without a doubt the most comprehensive tutorial I have ever seen on You Tube - regardless of the topic. I am a technical writer with many years of creating user guides. This tutorial is the way tutorials should be designed and written.
Wow, Lionel thank you so much for that incredible feedback. That means a lot, especially coming from someone like you with your experience. Thanks for taking the time to let me know.
It took me couple of days watching these videos. At the end It was well worth effort as I learned a lot from it. Thank you Josh for your patience and willingness to help others.
wpSculptor Thanks, Brother, I have tried to follow many others to create a blog, you are by far the righteous cat of all. I followed and understood every word just pure English man and I am almost at the end wow blows my mind.
have been googling for quite sometime looking for a good page builder . I landed at the right place, thank you so much
AHHH!!! You are just simply awesome. Quite a lot to take in. Please don't ever take this down. I am a slow learner.. Thank you SO MUCH for THIS!
Hi there Josh! This is Wilkens from Fortaleza, Brazil. I would likr to thank you for this amazing video class! You are an excellent on-line tutor!!!! Thumbs up for your job!
I'm quite a way through this video and have been working through it for the past few days. I wanted to stop and say THANK YOU Josh.
One of the best and most comprehensive tutorials ever! Thanks. Sent email from your site for the PDF, nothing happened... should be great. Looking forward to the rest of your vids. Nice presentation and style. Great work. :)
This is a well put together video. I've watch several videos on WordPress and Page Builders, and this has been one of the better ones. Thank you!
It was very good tutorial. I am a novice in this field, but this tutorial got me stuck to it to the end. It was very educative and your clear narration very easy to follow.
I think I will begin posting on here everyday until you put out another video! This is the best, most comprehensive tutorial on WordPress and Elementor out there.
But here's the thing: there's only ONE tutorial on the highly publicized, Elementor 2.0! Now bless DW for trying but that kid needs focus.
Josh Jackson, you're the man for this! We need an E2.0 tutorial (Pro included).
Love to get you back on TH-cam, m'man! Hope to see you soon.
Amazing video tutorial. We have started sending our users here to learn more about the plugin. Thank you for making this.
I have followed this tutorial from start to finish and gone from zero knowledge to a website but am now concerned about my Generate Press theme needing updating and its warning "Please Note: Any customizations you have made to theme files will be lost. Please consider using child themes for modifications." I have posed the question to Josh but haven't received an answer. Does using Elementor and adding plug ins count as "customizations" or does that refer to other coding changes outside of what was in Josh's tutorial? Do i need to use a child theme before i update Generate Press is my question. I am thinking i do and that now this is something i will need to seek professional advice about. I have backed up to dropbox etc but couldnt bear to lose my website by updating my theme at this stage yet if i dont update google may not "like" my site.
We have a revision history feature, meaning all of your Elementor designs are backed up automatically when you save, as well as all the previous versions, so you never lose your design. GeneratePress is a theme created and maintained by Tom Osborne and you are welcomed to ask him about GeneratePress, he's a real nice and helpful fellow.
Thank you so much and you are very welcome! I appreciate you directing others to my tutorial. You guys have made an incredible contribution to the WordPress community and I'm glad to be able to contribute in my own little way.
Great again Josh! Really helps to understand this page builder and Blog area. Can’t wait to see the Elementor 2.0 video!👍
Sir, you seems to be a great teacher in digital world. Students spent lot of money to gained the knowledge, but you can teach them free about secret techniques and ideas to succeed in free. Thanks
An exservice men at this age of 55 , now I felt and thinks why not i learn to build websites. So I started just one week before.
Josh,
This is an excellent video. You explained fully using Elementor. I previously watched other videos about Elementor, but you explained fully and completely ! Thank you.
You are so professional and easy to follow...a great voice thank you for going far and beyond with your table of content!!!!!!! I am a big fan
ABSOLUTELY FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!!!
This is the best tutorial ever. Thank you so much for producing this (and others). I struggled with Wordpress and templates until I stumbled across Elementor Page Builder and then found this amazing tutorial. You have saved my sanity and a heck a lot of time and money. Thanks again.
This is the best tutor ialbi ever seen. Congratulations.
I am so happy I found your channel I love your style of teaching and how you cover everything so completely
Super fantastic Elementor video tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to create an extremely informative and thorough tutorial on how to use Elementor to create a WordPress website.
Thank You so much for this free tutorial. I am glad and grateful that, people like you exist.
Wish I'd saved time by finding this first. Most efficient time spent in months. Thank you!
Amazing it was just what I was looking for for a long time. You are so easy to understand, thank you very much for three and a half teaching hours.
Super with section sections, they give a great overview and are valuable during the upcoming work with my webpage.
I am blown away, this is just so good.
Now I will continue with your video about Elementor Pro.
Thanks again - many greetings from Denmark
Allan Kierulff
Great video for beginners or a refresher! Thank you for being so thorough and descriptive!
Thanks so much Josh! I went through the whole tutorial and replicated every step. Although, I am very familiar with WP. It was nice to have such a detailed step by step walkthrough for Elementor. Many who attempt to teach could take a lesson from you on how its supposed to be done. Very valuable info!!! I hope you do more on other related topics!
Really appreciate that you put this free resource out into the world. Can't emphasis this enough!
Thanks for everything. You are the best among all the presenters. I learned so much from you. Now, it is time to build my website!
