- Works with proper labels: Each series has its drawing, artist, year, medium, format, edition and example price, with an 'Ask about this work' link to the enquiry form.
- Editions explained plainly: Four steps from choosing an output to hanging it, what a screen edition or a plotter print includes, and a plain risk note wherever buying is described.

- Visit and enquiries: Opening hours, a street map, access notes and an 'Ask about a work' form made with the free WPForms Lite plugin.

Email subject: “Question about a work from the website”. After sending, visitors see: “Thank you. The gallery desk will reply by email within two working days.”

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)Render RoomSpringfieldFoundry LaneMira OkonJonas FeldAda Reyes-LindTomasz Wren
- Never add token or floor prices, price charts, trading, minting or wallet buttons, returns or predictions, and never show marketplace, chain or coin logos; keep the risk line (`lt-risk`) wherever buying is described.
- Keep one `is-wall` ring per run and keep seeds and edition numbers as identifiers; do not mark sold outputs on the run.
- Coral never carries text; artworks must be the artists' own (no recognisable works by others in photos).
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.

|---|---|
lt-hero | home hero (exhibition title and the run of a series) |
lt-run | a series shown as its whole run: grid of lt-tile outputs in run order (lt-run–strip for a row of six) |
lt-tile | one output: drawing (lt-sheet) + caption with edition number (lt-tile__no) and seed; add is-wall for the coral ring (the output on the gallery wall; one per run) |
lt-sheet | a drawing on its white plotter sheet (Image widget, square) |
lt-work | a series entry: large drawing + lt-label |
lt-label | work label: lt-label__title, lt-label__line (artist, year, medium, format, edition), lt-label__price |
lt-risk | the plain risk line about buying digital art (keep it wherever buying is described) |
lt-steps | the four steps of buying an edition (a real sequence); each lt-step |
lt-artist | artist row (drawing, name and practice, series, link) |
lt-exhibit | exhibition entry (room photo + label-format text) |
lt-event | talk or workshop row (date, title, place, booking) |
lt-meta | small meta line (dates, rooms, formats) |
lt-pagehead | inner page heading band |
lt-desk | contact desk |
lt-price | label + value row |

Questions about LT Chain
Do I need Elementor Pro?
No. LT Chain uses only the free Elementor plugin and the free Hello Elementor theme.
Does it include a marketplace, wallet or minting?
No. LT Chain is a gallery and artist site: it shows works, editions and exhibitions and sends questions to an enquiry form. There is no trading, no wallet connection and no token prices.
Can I show my own works as a run?
Yes. A run is a grid of images with an edition number and seed under each; duplicate a tile in Elementor, swap the image and change the caption.
Will my site look like the demo?
Yes, with Pro: Appearance > Demo import creates every page, colours, fonts, menu, header and footer. The sample drawings ship with the theme; 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 About and Visit pages and the blog. Pro adds the home page, Works, Exhibitions and their sub-pages, sample posts, demo import, credit removal, updates and support. Pro Unlimited adds the AI kit.
I have the old LT Chain. Is this an update?
It is version 2.0, rebuilt for free Elementor as a digital art gallery and artist theme. 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 Chain also exists as a Joomla template: see the LT Chain Joomla docs.
