Once done, exit the editor & come back to the WordPress dashboard.

Step 4: Now, Go to Pages & then click on Add New to create a new page.

Next, give your desired page name & then click on the “Edit with Elementor” button.

Once you’re inside the elementor editor, click on the “folder icon” i.e Add Template option.

Click-on-Add-Template

Next, go to My Templates & select the landing page you wanted & then click on the Insert button.

In my case, it’s “Tutor Landing Home”

Select-Landing-page-to-Insert

Note: A small popup for Import Document settings may appear. If you select yes, the elementor canvas layout will be applied.

But if you want your landing page to contain your header & footer, then go to your page settings & select the full-width layout.

2) How to Design your WordPress website like a Pro

Once the import is completed, click on the “publish button” to make your page live. The next step is to exit the dashboard.

Step 5: Go to Settings > Reading and under your homepage displays settings, first select a static page & then click on the dropdown right next to the homepage & select the page you just created & then click on Save Changes.

For me, it’s the Demo Tutorial Page so I’ll select that & click on Save Changes.

  3. Hello,

    Thanks

    1. Hey Patrik, so sorry to hear that.
      Brother, I’ve already mentioned the possible ways by which you can set the landing page as homepage.

      But if you’re still not able to get it then make sure to…
      a) set the custom page (landing page) as homepage under settings > reading settings > your homepage displays > a static page (homepage) > choose the landing page & save changes.
      b) clear your website’s cache & check it in incognito mode

      Apart from this, there’s another way & i.e by using a 301-redirect plugin.
      You can simply redirect your homepage url to the custom landing page using the plugin.

      Give it a try & I hope it works out well.
      Do update me whether it does or doesn’t.

      Regards,

    1. I’m glad it worked for you Nate.
      Your site is nicely built & testimonials are impressive.

      One thing I liked about your site is the clarity you’ve in audience targeting.
      Although your site is well designed, I think there are many scopes of improvement.

    1. Hey Ricardo, thanks for your kind words.
      I just gave a quick look at your site & here’s my feedback…

      First & foremost, the UI-UX is good, the layout is modern & the animations are also done well.
      But the thing that I feel you missed on is the CTA’s. Right from the hero section to the footer, I didn’t find any visible & eye-catching CTA’s.

      You can add a few buttons as a CTA so that the user will take action i.e to contact you.

      Apart from that, if you would like to get detailed feedback, you can email me at [email protected] (just to keep things private)

      Cheers,
