About Elementor Pro Custom Page Design & Templates
A basic step-by-step for creating custom templates that you can use with your different WordPress projects.
The following is a simple and basic step-by-step to creating and sharing templates using the Elementor Page Builder for WordPress. This post has been designed to help familiarise yourself with the process, prior to venturing off on your own.
Please note that you can build templates from scratch or adjust an existing one. The process involves generating a .JSON / Zipped file.
A good exercise for unraveling how Elementor works is to deconstruct an existing template that you like.
Step One | Elementor Templates
Create a page to customise and build your template
In a new or existing WordPress site with the Elementor page builder plugin installed, create a new WordPress Page.
Give the Page a name and ensure that you have Page Attributes set to Elementor Full Width. (do this before the next step).

Step Two | Elementor Templates
Select Elementor Edit mode
Select the Edit with Elementor button to open a new Elementor “canvas.”
The resulting “canvas” may inherent some attributes from your installed theme. Nonetheless, regardless of the layout you are presented with, you can start adding content elements to your page.
Click the (+) button to add your structure i.e. single, 3 column etc,
In this case, let’s start by adding a container for holding all the main, “above the fold ” content.
In basic language, select a single column grid structure and use this for holding other relevant items. This will include your background image or colour, a title and some text, plus a call to action button.
Next add your background image by following this method:
The idea here is to import a background image on which a layer of text and a button can be applied. As in the example shown below.
Step Three | Elementor Templates
Add a background Image to your page.
First, add what I call a “single column grid structure,” then add a 2 column grid element inside the single column grid structure.
Select the blue handle and click the icon made up of 6 dots shown in the diagram.
With the blue handle selected, select Style in the top left hand column tab options. This will allow you to select and edit the background.
This is where you can also upload a background image.

Step Four | Elementor Templates
Complete and save your designs layout as a template.
Now, this is really simple. Once you are happy with your layout, saving it as a template is a calf clicking the arrow near the PUBLISH button.
This will reveal the save options. Now select Save as Template.
The Save Page to Library window will open, allowing you to name your template. Name your template and click Save
Step Five | Elementor Templates
Insert / Export (.JSON) Template File.
Inserting a pre-made template, or one of your own, requires you to click the folder icon rather than the usual (+) Add New Section button. This will open the templates window. If you are presented with the pre-built templates Pages, select My Templates.

Insert Your Own Template Summary:
1. Select Add Template folder icon
2. Select the My Templates tab
3. Insert selected template to current page.
On the other hand you may want to Export a .JSON file of your template, in order to Save with the Library of another WordPress website that has Elementor installed (see example).
