Video Summary

Alright guys, so I have split screens right now I am in Elementor. 

The page builder for homestyle. Three are on page three. And I have the actual home page three upgrade here. And the reason why I have both of them be sliding back and forth is because for whatever reasons some of these elements are shown in full instead of looking like they do when they’re actually deployed so if you look over here, we have this slider. 

Alright, but right now it’s being showed as both and it doesn’t show our actual the actual text and then buttons that are floating over here. So I just want to be able to go back and just make sure everything’s working as it should. But for right now, we’re just kind of going through and just examining what elements we have and how they work. So what I would do is I go here, and I just click on this element. 

And the reason why this is important is because we’re referencing the categories and sometimes when you’re in a WordPress or WooCommerce theme or style theme, is that they have this category section sometimes you get to make it sometimes it just reads from your actual categories. So I just wanted to come here and just double check and see how they had this setup. So they have these, enter the icons, they have these icon, subs right here. They’re labeled pretty well but I could go through and set all those up if you know depending on what you were selling, you know, or you could even just go icon right and just have no icon if you wanted to. 

Now, if you wanted to like you have you could just take your external link savers, fruits and vegetables. You could either create or target the categories page for vegetables and fruit and just basically paste that in there. And that would work. And then basically when everyone clicks on this instead of just having a dead link with the hashtag, they would go right to that page. I don’t need to go through every single category because that everything is the same but I do want to go down here and check what is how the how these sliders are set up. So that’s why I want to slide back over here and just see okay, 50% off today tasty and healthy, organic. And Alright, so what I’m gonna do too is this theme is reverting to its old link. So I’m gonna do is I’m gonna put a hashtag right here just for now. 

So you just choose an image to put right there. Free shipping so you’re just you’re pretty much just setting up your own icon and labeling these little sections as you will so nothing too crazy right there. Now we get into our products. So let’s just click on the section. I’m clicking on I guess I’m or it has opened so we got our products and it says hi efficiencies slipped ring scanner. Okay, so basically the title, the subtitle or the sub text, and then you have your basically your categories or however you want to label it. And I like how you’re able to do that because some WooCommerce things force you to if you’re labeling if you’re labeling a category, they force you to do it exactly but this way we can we can be a little bit flexible because like certain cat you know you could say you got steak and you got chicken and that could be another category could be just meat. So if you want to have just me or just chicken or just steak, you can have that option with us. So that’s pretty cool. So basically all you have to do is just change the title here. Number of text. What does this do? Let’s just see if that does anything. I’m not really seeing too much here. 

All right, so we just have special offers and we just have number of posts and there’s no real selection here. So what what I’m starting to see is that when we see Edit feature product, I just think it’s just the feature like not Our featured product that we set up a couple of videos ago, where we’re trying to label a certain product as a future product. I think this is just saying you’re featuring these products and this section was a little bit confusing. 

Let’s slide back and let’s look at great we got the same thing going on. Let’s look at top categories. I think what I did is I think I’ve actually switched the sections up. So that’s probably what happened right here and all of a sudden, the special products, but if we click here and now we’re on categories, we got version to sort of see a pattern with the so if we click on this one, so it’s product, v3, and then we click on here, categories v2. So I’m thinking like we’ll get into here in a second. But what I’m thinking is, is there’s probably a lot of variations in our widgets or our elements section here. When we click on that back into here, and we have browsed all all these steps. Let’s just see what these look like. Alright, so these are set up as a image link. So basically if we click anywhere between browse all or the image, we will be able to go to that section. 

We would if we wanted to do feature products, we just have to select them into a category and not necessarily label them as a featured product. And I’ll show you what I mean by that. So like let’s say like the stakes right now our featured products, but what you might want to do to make this section work is that instead of making these a feature product by checking this, these stars, or setting them up as you go through either the bulk edit or the individual products one by one, what you could do is you could just potentially just bulk select this and then do bulk edit, and then you could you could create a feature product category and select it and then just save it and then you could just call to it in this category right here.

I like dependent if you really want specific items in a certain place. I like doing random because at least you know as a customer is coming back to your website over and over again. Then you kind of want to show as many products as possible. Just love know your kind of, you know, the variety and the different brands that you offer. But there’s other situations where you know, if they come over the plant comes on, you might want to show me your most popular products. So you’re just gonna have to figure out how you want to set that up. That’s, you know, I could talk for days about the strategies with that. 

So I think we got a good idea with what all of the pretty much all of the stock options that are the standard options that came with the site because I went through pretty much home one through 11 and all of the real good ecommerce specific WooCommerce specific elements were on this page because this is more of the you know, very sharp, very ecommerce focused homepage. 

So with that being said, I’m gonna stop this video here and I think that I think our next step is to create a empty page. and then just start pulling in all of the other elements that was offered to us and we have version one, version two, version three, and just see just play around with those and see how those look. And after that I think we’ll have a great understanding of what we are able to do with this website in terms of display our products. So I’ll see you guys in the next section.
