And BTS Elementor Edition starts today!

How will it be facilitated?
I am experimenting with this a bit but right now it will be through Google Docs — I'll be updating what I'm tackling each day, what I get done and any issues (wins!) we encounter along the way. Some of this might be through video just because it's a lot easier to show you and easier for you to see than read potential mumbo jumbo!

Do I get to ask questions?
Of course! You can leave comments, questions, suggestions of what you'd like to see within the Google Doc. You can help to decide what elements you'd like to see me build or post what you've encountered before that you've never been able to fix — I'd love for it to be interactive!

What happens when it's over?
I haven't quite decided how and where this will live. I may add this to the course area in the form of a course or just continued access to the Google Doc. Whatever the form, you'll still have access to it after the demo site is launched.

What happens to the site once it's launched?
The purpose of this site is to serve as a demo for anyone interested in using Elementor — they can make a copy of it, get 24 hours or so to play with it and even purchase the theme, full installation and the documentation to go with it.

What are the perks?
Join at any time and you'll also get a massive discount on the entire theme and website installation for yourself and I will install it for you (yes, plugins and all). If you've ever considered moving to Elementor, now's a good time to start.

You can certainly build your own site as we go!

So I got this yesterday - nice surprise and reward the I-don’t-know-how-many-hours-I’ve-spent working on my ClickUp setup. But it really works for me and clients.

However, the perks of being a power user…
- I don’t need networking events…
- I don’t need more emails either… but it’s monthly at least..
- Early access to new features - yes!

I’m also really good at finding bugs for them apparently. Have a ticket in queue right now 😅

Anyone want ClickUp help/setup? Apparently, I’m your gal.

Perhaps I’ll add this to WonderLab tutorials… 🤔

Site migration + css extravaganza = lego reward.

WordPress + Elementor!

So I'm doing a thing where you get to follow/read/watch over my shoulder as I build a WordPress site with Elementor!

I've been wanting to build demo sites for people to be able to play with for 24 hours - you get to see the back-end, add posts, play with the page builder, test it and basically just see if it's the right fit for you.

But then I thought, what if you could watch me to build it at the same time - cause then you'll see why I chose the plugins I chose, the stack I use and the nuances, what happens when WordPress treats me poorly - just, all the things!

If you're considering Elementor, or just getting starting, or thinking of switching over to Elementor, come join me in this little demo/experiment thing!

We'll be building a fully functioning site with a digital shop - that's digital products or services - how to make it work for you with the order bumps, tripwires, the works.

Come join me?? Or do me a little favour - pass it on to someone who might be interested!

Saturday morning fun... fixing a hacked site. 😔

Okay, so appaaaarently I don't share my stuff enough.

Alright, I know. I don't share stuff at all. Except travelling. Or photos. Or lately, Lego. 😅

So here goes.

There's one more day left to book a quick half-hour session to chat about all things WordPress and websites.
And it's only 9 bucks!

If you need some pesky thing fixed, want to word vomit ideas, talk strategy - I'm all ears before you chuck that keyboard or laptop at the wall.

I promise I'll try to keep the nerding out to a minimum. ☺️

There are 3 slots left for tomorrow - link in comments.

I’m trying out a new app and love it so far. I can change the background to different views and have all the essentials when I’m focused working.

So far, don’t love the coffee shop spaces as much.

I’m acutely aware that isn’t my coffee or cute snack on the table.

Nor are those my fingers.

I’m gonna go for Anime café…

When you're all settled in for good ol' design & dev session and WP backend gives you the middle finger. 🙄

I have about 12 things on my to-do list.

I'll prob get to 3 of them.

But now I'm thinking of spending some time culling down the amount of FB groups I'm in because I'm missing all the good stuff in the ones I want to be in. 😕
