LT Avante is a theme for management consultancies, built for Elementor (free): a home page that opens on an issue tree splitting a client's question into issues and hypotheses, services set as the leaves of the same tree with their length and fees, the four steps of an engagement, a fixed-fee two-week diagnostic, sample questions answered, consultants, a question form and notes. A Hello Elementor child theme with bundled fonts, one-page mode and a mobile menu.

Home page sections
The home page sections, in order, with the name they have in Elementor’s Navigator and their CSS ID (the anchor used by one-page mode and by links such as /#tree).
| Section (Navigator name) | CSS ID |

| The question | #tree |
| Services | #services |
| How we work | #method |
| Two-week diagnostic | #diagnostic |
| Questions answered | #cases |

| Fees | #fees |
| Notes | #notes |
| Our office | #office |
- The issue tree: The home page opens on a sample question split into issues and hypotheses on squared pad paper, each marked confirmed, still to test or ruled out, with a red-pencil ring on the one tested first.
- Services as leaves of the tree: Services are grouped under the three questions boards ask most, each with what it answers, its usual length and a fixed fee.
- Method, diagnostic and cases: A four-step engagement, a two-week diagnostic laid out day by day, and sample questions with what held and what the client did.
- Pages for every practice: Strategy with growth strategy, market entry and portfolio review below it, operations and cost, organisation design, consultants and a page that explains how to read a tree.
- Free Elementor and a ready question form: Every page uses free Elementor widgets on Hello Elementor, with a question form made with the free WPForms Lite plugin. Fonts are bundled: no Google Fonts requests.

Email subject: “A question from the website”. After sending, visitors see: “Thank you. A partner will read your question and reply within two working days to arrange a first call.”
See Contact form for where messages go and how to change the fields.
Demo content to replace
Everything marked with one of these in the demo is sample content: names, numbers, prices and addresses that you replace with your own (or delete):
(sample)Example pricesexample.com(555)Corrin HaleSpringfieldSample treesample terms
- Keep each tree honest: one question at the root, issues that do not overlap, and exactly one leaf with is-first (the red ring); every leaf has a state word that matches its class.
- Use red pencil only for the ring and focus marks; never as text or a button colour.
- Do not present sample clients, cases or fees as real, do not invent awards or credentials, and do not promise savings or results.
Only publish facts that are true for your business: real prices, opening hours, reviews and qualifications. Pro Unlimited’s launch checker lists every sample marker left on the site.

AI kit (Pro Unlimited)
The AI kit’s AGENTS.md tells an assistant how LT Avante is built. The CSS classes it relies on (keep them when you edit):
| CSS class | What it is |
|---|---|
lt-hero | home hero band (headline, lead and the sample tree) |
lt-tree | an issue tree on squared pad paper: head line, body (root + branches), key |
lt-tree__root | the question at the root of the tree (heading) |
lt-branches | the column of issues; each child lt-branch is one issue with its hypotheses |
lt-branch__name | the issue (heading), joined to the root and its hypotheses by bracket lines |
lt-leaf | one hypothesis: is-yes confirmed, is-open still to test, is-no ruled out; is-first adds the red-pencil ring (one per tree) |
lt-leaf--svc | a service set as a leaf: name and link, what it answers, length and fee |
lt-tree__key | the key that explains the marks; keep it under every tree |
lt-step | one engagement step (a real sequence, numbered 1 to 4) |
lt-day | one row of the diagnostic, day by day (a real sequence) |
lt-case | one sample question answered: the question, what held, what the client did |
lt-price | fee or fact row (label + amount) |
lt-panel | side panel with a pad-green top rule |
lt-pagehead | inner page heading band |
lt-desk | contact desk block |
lt-person | consultant (name + practice) |

Questions about LT Avante
Do I need Elementor Pro?
No. LT Avante uses only the free Elementor plugin and the free Hello Elementor theme. The header and footer are part of the theme, so you do not need Theme Builder.
How do I change the tree?
Each issue is a heading and each hypothesis a text block with the class lt-leaf and is-yes, is-open or is-no. Change the state word and the class together, and keep is-first on one leaf only. The AI kit's safe edit tool can make these changes for you.
Is it only for strategy consultancies?
It suits any advisory firm that works on one problem at a time: management, operations, HR and organisation consultants, interim executives and research firms. Services, fees and cases are normal Elementor rows you edit.
Will my site look like the demo?
Yes, with Pro: Appearance > Demo import creates every page, the colours, fonts, menu, header and footer. The demo photos are replaced by placeholders you swap for your own.
What is the difference between Free and Pro?
Free has the design, header and footer, The firm and Contact pages and the blog. Pro adds the home page, the Services and How we work pages with their sub-pages, sample posts, one-click demo import, credit removal, updates and support. Pro Unlimited adds the AI kit.
I have the old LT Avante. Is this an update?
It is a new version 2.0 with a new design, built for free Elementor. Your current site keeps working; install 2.0 on a new site or a staging copy and import the demo there.
Also for Joomla
LT Avante also exists as a Joomla template: see the LT Avante Joomla docs.
