Build Better Website: The Reverse Engineer Method Revealed Hosting & WordPress Tips: Uncovering the Fundamental Page Builders are Replacing Theme Functionality

Choosing the Right Theme (Video)

A WordPress theme is a collection of templates and stylesheets that determine the visual appearance and layout of a WordPress website. It’s like a “skin” for your website that controls how it looks and feels.

With the emergence of page builders like Elementor, the need to choose a pre-designed WordPress theme has decreased significantly. Page builders allow users to create custom pages and designs from scratch, without needing to rely on pre-built templates.

That being said, it is still compulsory for you to install and activate a theme. Hence, Elementor, in particular, offers a theme builder feature that enables users to create custom headers, footers, single post templates, and archive page templates, among other things. This means that users can create a consistent look and feel across their entire website, without needing to rely on a pre-designed theme.

 

Themebuilder by Elementor

Since the release of Elementor’s theme builder, customising websites has been simple. The days of relying entirely on the theme to control the sidebar, header, footer, and widget placement are almost gone. With theme builders, we can now completely personalise websites without being constrained by the restrictions of the theme.

Elementor’s theme builder is a powerful feature that allows website developers to fully customize their website’s structure, content, and design. Here are some of its key features:

  1. Header and Footer Design: With Elementor’s theme builder, you can easily create and customize your website’s header and footer. This includes the ability to add logos, navigation menus, social icons, contact information, and more. You can also customize the layout, color scheme, and typography to match your brand’s style.

  2. Single Post and Archive Templates: With Elementor’s theme builder, you can create custom templates for single post pages and archive pages. This includes the ability to customize the layout, typography, colors, and more. You can also include dynamic content, such as post titles, featured images, and author information.

  3. Custom 404 Page: Elementor’s theme builder allows you to create a custom 404 page that matches your website’s overall design. This can help improve the user experience by providing helpful links and information when a page is not found.

 

Overall, Elementor’s theme builder is a powerful feature that allows website developers to fully customize their websites without being limited by the theme’s restrictions. It offers a wide range of customization options and allows for dynamic content to be included in the design, making it easier to keep your website up-to-date and engaging for your audience.In the next module, we will explore this feature further in the Elementor section.

Do I have to purchase 10Web hosting to implement the Reverse Engineer Method 1.0 ?

Not necessarily. Although the Reverse Engineer method requires you to use the AI Builder by 10Web, You can take advantage of the free trial that 10Web offers for 7 days. In our experience, the AI recreation process should not take more than 3 days. Then, you can easily transfer your design to your website hosted on a different hosting provider by referring to the ‘Transfer your Design’ topic found under Module 3. If you wish to use AI Builder for more than 7 days, you can definitely subscribe to their monthly plan.

Right now, you won’t see a place to put a coupon when you move from the free trial to the pro plan. But, don’t worry! Just reach out to the support team and they’ll help you use your coupon.

Kindly head over to our ‘Contact Us’ page and share with us what’s bothering you. We’re here to help.

The purpose of the reconstruction step is to fix any inaccuracies the AI builder might leave when recreating sections. I’ve noticed that, for other sales pages, the AI builder tends to have a hard time recreating the page. Hence, we use the reconstruction step. We add a new section below the one AI worked on, and then move the widgets into this new section. This way, it offers us a point of reference to match the intended design that we wanted even if the AI builder misses something.

I get it, it can be tricky, especially for beginners. That’s why I recommend trying out the grid layout or CSSGrid. Most of the time, design needs are box-shaped or grid-like. It makes things much easier! So, save the flexbox container for those occasional layouts that you just can’t create with a boxy design. 

When the AI builder recreates a page, it often places containers inside other containers – a process we call “nesting.” This can make finding which container holds your background image quite a challenge. But don’t worry, that’s exactly why we do the reconstruction; to create a much simpler layout. You can use the navigator to check how many containers have been created. This will make finding your background image a whole lot easier.

Sure thing! A base template is designed to help people from non-designer’s background establish their overall style, especially when they’re not experienced designers. Think of it as a starter kit for your website design. A base template usually includes around 60% of your site’s overall look. You can then pick up design elements such as color schemes or typography styles from the base template to get your own design started.

This is just a suggestion. It’s totally fine to use any tool you like for pre-planning your website. However, this planning process really helps you visualize your site, especially when merging different websites together. Trust me, it can get quite messy without some planning!

The AI builder is still relatively new and has its limitations. But here are few things that we can do:

  • Try again. Recreate the page once again.
  • Make certain you are recreating a page design which follows all the key criteria.
  • Try recreating a shorter landing page next time.
  • If it still doesn’t work. Don’t sweat it and reach out to the support team. They can give clarification to you.
 

Additionally, there’s no need to stress about it, as we’re going to reconstruct the sections during the next step.

  4. Which is the difference between the 2 services that they provide, one is PAGE SPEED BOOSTER and the other one is PLATFORM, how to know which we should pick.

    1. Hi Raul, good question. Page Speed Booster is for those who host their WordPress website with another hosting provider, while the platform itself includes hosting and Page Speed Booster as part of a single package in their offerings.If you wanted to use the AI builder, you should opt for the platform package 🙂
