Elementor is amazing comparing to others visual design tools
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'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!
GREAT JOB. STRAIGHT TO THE WORK.
YOU SURE HELPED ME.
A. L. O. T. THANKS.
Amazing that this tutorial is almost a year old, but is still relevant and one of the better Elementor tutorials out there.
Learned Elementor in one day. I was using Webflow but I'm in love with Elementor now.
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.
What a great tutorial! Thank´s a lot.
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.
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 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!
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!
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.
Thank you, and congratulations. This is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen. I didn't think anyone could get website building through my thick head, but you did, Josh Jackson.
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
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 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.
I am so happy I found your channel I love your style of teaching and how you cover everything so completely
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.
This is EXACTLY what I need! I can't wait to go through it and do it along with the tutorial! Thank you so much!
You made me understand how to build my website like no other video I stumbled upon! Thank you!
very helpful you are amazing.
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.
One of the best Elementor tutorials I have ever seen
Thank You so much for this free tutorial. I am glad and grateful that, people like you exist.
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.
2 Years long and still a great video! I have learnt a lot from you. Thanks a million for the insight!
I've watched many tutorials but this one is the best so far!
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!
Excellent tutorial on website building using Elementor and GeneratePress. Nothing left unexplained. Very thorough.
Thank you for such a thorough and comprehensive tutorial! On top of that, you have the best tutorial voice I've ever heard. Well done, sir! Appreciate your work
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!
This is one of the best tutorials I have ever watched, and I am so happy I found it. Thank you very much for sharing this amazing video.
it's been a long time since I first watched your other tutorials and you've added just another great tutorial of all what I have been really searching for. Thank you so much.
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!
Wow. I so appreciate the time taken to put this together. Awesome job.
Love it! This is not the first tutorial I followed from you and once again, this is so well explained. Thank you!
Best tutorial on this subject that, I have seen so far. Thank You.
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!
Sir, Thanks so much for introducing 'Elementor' & also taking so much time to go thru it. The back reference 'timeline' under 'SHOW MORE' is sensational!
Best TH-cam tutorial i have watched - brilliant work.
Really appreciate that you put this free resource out into the world. Can't emphasis this enough!
That's the best tutorial I've even seen on TH-cam. Thanks.
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.
have been googling for quite sometime looking for a good page builder . I landed at the right place, thank you so much
Extensive, Comprehensive and down right AWESOME! Your teaching style is easy to tolerate and you covered every single aspect of the page! BRAVO!!!
Great and I watched it all. Being a seventy+ this was slow, thorough and very helpful
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 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!
All time greatest tutorial! It completely demystified Elementor and Wordpress for me! Thank you!
Great video for beginners or a refresher! Thank you for being so thorough and descriptive!

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.
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!
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.
The best WordPress tutorial I've watched on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing :)
Great again Josh! Really helps to understand this page builder and Blog area. Can’t wait to see the Elementor 2.0 video!👍
Thank you so much for taking the time to help others, God bless you brother!
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.
BY far the best wordpress video and I have followed you since you started
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.
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.
wpSculptor you have no idea what a great help you are, thank you for what you do
You were born to teach! Thank you for your excellent video.
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.
What a thoroughly and easily understandable professional presentation. One of the best I have seen. So glad I found you!
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.
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.
This tutorial is genius ! Thank you ! for a beginner like me this is the kind of visualization that I need !
Excellent video, just what I needed for setting my new
Church's site for about one hundred a year !😎
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!
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.
TH-cam guys, this is top quality stuff. Thanks wpSculptor!
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!
Thank you for taking the time to develop this tutorial and the supporting documents. This is the best I have seen on building a website
You are very welcome Lyle, thank you so much for your kind words!
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.
At last , a program that shows evey move you need to make. Even for an oldie like me, I can follow it!
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!
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.
Thank you for this comprehensive tutorial.
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.
Thank you so much!I have built my whole website with your help.I have been listening to u so much of the last few day I feel like your a friend:)
Haha, that's awesome Katy! You are so welcome!
This is the best tutor ialbi ever seen. Congratulations.
Awesome instruction! This video helped me clear an issue with the menu settings. Thanks!
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!
Absolutely outstanding tutorial. Accurate, detailed, and no nonesense. Well Paced. Thanks you. Jerry
Awesome tutorial! Thank you for showing a difference using Elementor and Wordpress.
Very informative and professionally structured. Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
This was a well planned and thought out tutorial video. Thank you for the instruction, and links to available resources.
Most understandable WP tutorial I've found. Good work.
Greatest tutorial about WordPress without coding ever!
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!
Thanks so much for this in-depth tutorial.
You rock!
