Elementor has updated a ton in recent years, so you need a course that is up-to-date. This course is kept up-to-date and I devote a ton of time each week to support my students.
To finish this course, you will need to purchase hosting and a domain name from a hosting provider, for only a couple of dollars per month. If you do not purchase hosting, no one else will be able to view your website, but we’ll go over that more in the “how does the internet work” lecture! And don’t worry, we’ll go over how to purchase hosting & a domain name with a discount!
But who am I? My name is Nathan Minns, and I’ve been working almost exclusively in Elementor for the last 2-3 years, and WordPress for the last 6 years. I started as a freelancer, I got a full-time job building websites, and now I’m back to freelancing, using Elementor and WordPress every day.
I know you’ll love the course, and if you have any questions along the way, I’m here to help!
