Building a Barber Shop Website with WordPress and Elementor
Are you looking to build a professional and responsive website for your barber shop? In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step on how to create the perfect website for your barber shop using WordPress and the Elementor Pro plugin. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a fully functional website that showcases your services, displays your portfolio, and attracts potential clients.
Requirements for Building a Barber Shop Website
Before we dive into the website building process, there are a couple of requirements you need to fulfill:
- 2.1 WordPress Hosting: WordPress is the content management system we will be using for building your website. You will need to have WordPress hosting in place to proceed.
- 2.2 Elementor Pro Plugin: Elementor Pro is a powerful page builder plugin that allows you to easily design and customize your website without any coding knowledge. Make sure you have the Elementor Pro plugin installed and activated.
Downloading Custom Templates
To save time and effort, we have prepared custom templates for your barber shop website. These templates include the home page, gallery page, services page, header, footer, and 404 page. You can download these templates from our website. Simply click on the provided link in the description to access the download page.
Importing Templates
Once you have downloaded the custom templates, you need to import them into your WordPress website. Before importing, it is important to clear out any existing templates to avoid conflicts. Go to Elementor, then Tools, and scroll down to find any installed kits. Remove the kits if they are present.
Next, navigate to the Theme Builder section under Templates and click on the import button. Choose the downloaded zip file and import the header, footer, and 404 page templates. Apply these templates to the entire site.
To import the home page, gallery page, and services page templates, create new pages in WordPress and edit them with Elementor. Set the page title and click on the folder icon to access your templates. Insert and apply the corresponding templates for each page.
Customizing the Header and Footer
Now that you have imported the header and footer templates, it's time to customize them to align with your barber shop's branding. In the header template, you can change the logo, phone number, and navigation menu. To change the logo, simply upload your desired logo image. Customize the phone number and icon according to your preferences.
Moving on to the footer template, you can add your social media links, like Instagram or Facebook. Update the location on the map to showcase your shop's address. Make sure to save the changes and apply them to the entire site.
Customizing the 404 Page
The 404 page is the page visitors will see when they encounter a broken or invalid link on your website. To customize this page, access the 404 template and change the illustration or animation to your preferred image. You can find free animations on Flottery Files. Update the link to redirect visitors back to your site's home page. Save the changes to make your 404 page visually appealing and user-friendly.
Customizing the Background of the Website
To enhance the visual appeal of your barber shop website, you can customize the background image or color. Open the site settings in Elementor and navigate to the background section. Choose between classic or gradient background type and select an image or color accordingly. Update the settings to apply the background to your entire website.
Customizing the Gallery Page
The gallery page is a crucial section for showcasing your barber shop's work. With Elementor, it's easy to create and customize your gallery. Simply add the gallery element and choose the type as multiple. You can create separate galleries for men, women, and children's haircuts. Customize the order, lazy load, and lightbox settings for a seamless browsing experience. Add images and captions to highlight the quality of your work. Preview and update the page to display your gallery.
Customizing the Services Page
The services page allows you to showcase the various services your barber shop offers. With Elementor, you can create an informative and visually appealing services page. Add services, descriptions, prices, and images to highlight your offerings. Customize the layout and design to match your branding. Duplicate or delete services as needed. Update the page to display your services effectively.
Creating Additional Pages
If you want to create additional pages to provide more information about your barber shop, Elementor makes it easy. Simply create a new page in WordPress and edit it with Elementor. Utilize the available templates or design your own layout. Customization options are limitless, allowing you to create unique and engaging content for your website.
