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
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!

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.

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

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).
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.
Hey there! If I follow these steps to create a landing page, am I able to add stripe payment details to it? Thanks
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.
Does the design look good on mobile?

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?
