  • This is a really good tut. I think it's getting a bit old at this point but it doesn't appear to be dated yet. The OP codes things slightly differently than what I've seen from the other tutorials I've followed so I highly recommend following through to the end with this video but also try out other teachers to get a well rounded skill-set.

    Thanks so much for putting this together.
  • its very useful for developers. I am surprised that a wonderful and amazing course without any cost. thanks a lot

    Hello, have a good time and Shadi, it was a really good course and practical content was taught, especially the CSS sections, which are very useful for us in the design of the pages we want to design in Elementor.
