New to Elementor? Did you buy a template for Elementor and not sure what to do now? You’ve come to the right place! Let’s go through the basics of how to install the Elementor Page Builder plugin, install the Hello Elementor theme and import an Elementor template.
Before you can use your template you will need a website host and a domain. If you don’t already have a website host and domain, I recommend SiteGround, they are very user friendly and offer great prices. You will also need to install WordPress on your site, this process can vary by host, so please check with your host for help. If you are using SiteGround you can find the WordPress instructions here.
