Training: WordPress

Staff Guidance: Ruben, Marianne

Description: For this training, I try to learn more about WordPress regarding update the design layout and change of the content. I looked around the Internet for a good tutorial, and I find the common pattern for it is that they all use Elementor Plugin in order to help with customizing the content. Some of the trainings with the help of Elementor are very beautifully designed without going deep into the coding or the backend of the software. Elementor is a plugin that helps the users can drag and drop different features into the website as they want. They can put on icons, google maps, and videos into the position they want on the website. But I wonder if we will ever use Elementor in our STA project. Regardless, it is good tutorial to let me know about customizing WordPress and changing different components of the websites. 

So for this tutorial, I follow each different steps in order to customize the design with Elementor. I am also doing another tutorials with Elementor right now that lets you to create your own theme with pHp that I will update in our next meeting. 

  1. From the tutorial, I know how to use the plugin to download a Starter Template which helps with installing different templates that makes the process of editing it extremely easy. The tutorial chooses Elementor to be the theme.
  2. I edited the home page the same design with one of the website I have before.
  3. I also edited the Testimonial section with the background as a video and change the overlay of the background to be darker in contrast with the white letter.
