Your teacher

Hi, I'm Barna.

I made the Katka template pack and I build sites with Elementor every day. The first version of this course was recorded when Elementor still used sections and columns. Version 4 changed how you lay out and style a page, so I rewrote every lesson. You get the steps I actually use, the reasons behind them, and the mistakes I see most often.

Before you start

  • A WordPress site you can experiment on. A staging copy or local install is ideal.
  • The free Elementor plugin. Lessons 09 and 10 need Elementor Pro.
  • About 15 minutes per lesson. Steps are short, so you can stop at any point.
