I was deeee-lighted to be asked by the guys at Elementor to make a guest tutorial video for them. Quite an honour!
They asked me to make a tutorial showing how to replicate a popular site’s blog post design, using the brilliant new Single Builder in Elementor Pro.
Challenge accepted.
In this video for Elementor, watch over my shoulder as I replicate the blog design for a very popular and well-known WordPress hosting company.
This one video is bursting with all kinds of Elementor workflow tips and tricks. You’ll learn exactly how to use the new Single Builder in Elementor Pro… and much much more besides.

Thank You Dave, for introducing me to Elementor. I have been watching your videos, learning and creating a lot recently.
This new video is really helpful to a lot of learners(especially beginners), this can help them to experience the beauty of creation.
Thanks again.

That’s really great to hear! Thanks Joy.
Awesome tutorial Dave, thank you
Nice one Pete!
Hi Dave,
Very nice video. I have one question. In the custom css you use the selector “selector” as in
selector {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: -60px;
}
I’ve not seen the actual word “selector” used this way in css before, and my attempts to Google info about it just gets me information about selectors in general…
Help out a self-taught css-er, here, would you? Thanks!
Thanks Eileen. It’s actually special to Elementor. If you add custom CSS in that box (and that box only), you can use the word ‘selector’ as shorthand for: ‘select THIS widget’. Saves having to figure out how to select that widget itself. 🙂
Great video! You are a wonderful teacher–so easy to understand. Thanks.
Thanks Mary! Lovely of you to drop by and say. 🙂
Thank you, Dave! I learned a lot in this video – and like you said at the end, “Phew!” – for me, anyway (not a designer or developer). Good stuff!
Yep – this one’s certainly crammed full! Glad you enjoyed.
Thanks again Dave,
This will save time and I’ll be able to create a “look” for my Blogs
You have a nice, easy and informative way of explaining Elementor in your videos.
Thanks Gordon. 🙂 Really enjoyed making this one!
Great video, I learned a lot!
One question about the comment widget which is visible at 22:20 in the video. It states that it uses the active theme comments design. For me it’s not clear where elementor starts and the theme ends. In this case it seems to me that you depend on the theme for the comments design or am I wrong?
Thanks Leonard. Yes, the Elementor post comments widget uses the same styling as used by your theme. It’s a shame you can’t change those, but I think we’ll see different ‘skins’ for that widget soon.
Very nicely done, Dave. I just learned quite a bit! Thanks!
Great to hear, Carlton!
As always Dave, well done, very straight forward and easy to understand.
Thank you.
Shared as well.
Lovely. Thank you John.
As always Dave. Great job!
I miss your videos a lot.
Keep going like that man.
Have a nice day.
I will do my friend! Made probably 100 videos this last year, but all for paying students. Had a lot of practice. 🙂
Good to hear from you buddy. I hope all is well.
Hi Dave, thanks for the amazing content you share.
Can you tell me what theme do you use when making a site completly on elementor?
In this tutorial I was using Astra, but I also often use GeneratePress too. I highly recommend either of them.
Mind-blowing!
Thank you sir!
Thanks for sharing such a amazing content!
And thank you for an amazing comment! 🙂
thanks for sharing this with us
Thank you Dave for taking the time to show and explain, extremely useful. Another great way to learn is to tear apart an existing layout, so with that in mind, is this layout available as a template to download for us to experiment with?
I haven’t done that with this video Didier, sorry!
