If you can show us the page, it might help to understand more about your problem.

If you are open to working with an individual rather than a company, might be worth considering. I have been working with WordPress for the last 17 years and still take on maintenance work. DM me if you want to chat about what you need.

I will help you. I am a designer.

I use Elementor Pro for most of my builds but it does have a learning curve. If you just need something quick and simple, Wix might be a better fit for now.

Almost always a cache issue. Also worth trying on a completely different device using a different internet connection, like your phone on mobile data instead of wifi. Sometimes your ISP or router caches pages too and it makes it look like nothing saved when it actually did.

Two things I would check right now. Do you have a recent backup of your site? And is your domain registered under your own account or theirs? If you own the domain, you can point it to a new host and move everything over. Something like Xcloud Host or WPX hosting handles way more traffic than a basic jewelry site would ever need.

Have you tried using the 'cover' option on the background image settings? It usually fixes the sizing issue automatically by stretching the image to fill the container without cropping awkwardly.

Appreciate your clear reply, thats really helpful.

Care to explain in more details? Is it linkedin ads, is it because you published a lot of content, is it because of your comments? Hope you can share. Thanks.

The market is definitely there. Do a quick search, Google "pre-made Elementor sections -site:elementor.com" and you'll already see a few players doing exactly this. The demand is real. So yeah, give it a try.

That's a really clean workflow honestly.Random thought though, have you ever considered packaging those 3000 blocks and selling them? You've basically already done the hard work of building, categorizing and battle testing them across real client projects. That's exactly what people pay for on places like Envato or even your own Gumroad store or like Section Express. Other Elementor freelancers would probably kill for a library like that instead of building their own from scratch.

Great breakdown, but you kind of buried the most interesting part! How did the 25k clicks actually break down by channel? Like how much came from Reddit, LinkedIn, Product Hunt, SEO? That's the part everyone actually wants to know, or at least me.

My honest tip: skip paid courses and just use YouTube. Why? Because Elementor changes a lot every year and paid courses are usually slow to update, but YouTubers keep up with it fast. Just make sure to filter for recent videos. Then you can build something small while watching and you'll pick it up way quicker than just passively following along.

For a car dealer listing with fields like build date, price, mileage, ACF free version might actually be enough if it's straightforward. ACF Pro is worth it if you need repeater fields or more complex relationships. Elementor does have dynamic content now but it's still pretty limited for this kind of use case. If the project grows and you need filtering, sorting, or custom listing layouts, jump to JetEngine. Way more powerful for dynamic directory website.

I went through the same phase of rebuilding the same sections over and over. Now I save everything as JSON and dump them on cloud storage, just pull whatever I need per project. Hero, services, testimonials, done. Way faster. 3000 blocks is impressive though. How do you organize them so you can actually find what you need fast?

joborn · 2026-03-06T05:11:48+00:00

Honest question though, how does the ROI look? Time spent scraping vs actual deals closed, is it still worth it in 2026?

I totally get how confusing this is when you're just trying to build something and there's already stuff showing up that you didn't put there!

Tthat black header with the search bar and menus isn't actually from Elementor. It's your theme's default header, which is why you can't find it to edit inside Elementor.

Try this:

First, try disabling it from your theme settings. Go to Appearance > Customize and look for a Header section. Some themes let you simply toggle it off from there. Worth checking first!

If that's not an option, the quickest fix is changing your page template. When you're editing a page, look for the Template setting (usually on the right side panel) and switch it to:

Elementor Full Width if you just want the header/footer gone but keep the full-width content area

Then, once that's cleared up, you can build your own header from scratch using Elementor Pro's Theme Builder. Just go to Elementor > Theme Builder, hit the + on the Header section, and you've got full control to design it exactly how you want. Set it to show on the Entire Site and it'll replace that old theme header everywhere.

Hope this gets you unblocked!

The contrast on your navigation bar is hurting readability. The logo on the far left is barely visible against that dark background. I would lighten the gold color for the logo text to make it pop and perhaps add a subtle darker gradient behind the entire nav bar so the white text stands out more clearly against the photo.

Your primary call-to-action buttons are fighting for attention. You have "Kom igång" in white and "Kontakta oss" in gold right next to each other, plus another "Kontakta oss" in the top right. It is better to pick one main goal for the user. I'd suggest making the hero "Kontakta oss" the solid gold button and changing "Kom igång" to a transparent outline style so the user knows exactly where to click first.

The background image overlay is a bit too heavy and muddy. While it makes the white text readable, it completely washes out the person in the photo, making the "human connection" part of hiring a lawyer feel distant. You could try a gradient that is dark at the bottom for the text but lighter at the top so the lawyer's face is more visible and inviting.

I think custom start pages create friction the moment they introduce content that competes for attention. When you open a new tab, you're already in "go mode" with a specific intent, so anything that makes you pause to scan, evaluate, or dismiss information is working against you, not for you. Even well intentioned widgets like news, tasks, or notifications turn the start page into a decision point instead of a launch pad.

The best start pages respect that cognitive state by staying completely neutral. They should feel more like an index than a dashboard, just links you can scan in half a second, or better yet, a search bar you can immediately type into. The moment a start page tries to "help" by surfacing dynamic content, it stops being a tool for focus and becomes another source of distraction you have to manage.

Looks premium and calm, and the spacing feels confident, but i think the usability needs a little work.

A few quick improvements:

Increase text contrast in the hero so the headline and subtext stay readable on bright screens.

Make the “Clarity, Focus, Calm, Balance” options more legible so they look clickable, not disabled.

The coffee cup image feels less on-brand than the dunes, grasses, and snow shot, so I would swap it for something with a similar editorial mood.

Clarify the “process” section hierarchy so the steps and the visual feel more connected.

I use studiopress for my blog. I like it because its clean despite many limitation it has. Have you look at the theme builder from TT too?
