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 /#draft).

  • A hero that shows the method: The home page opens with a pillar draft marked up with a highlighter, each passage tagged with the channel and length it becomes.
  • The month board: The marked passages pasted into four weeks with the pillar article, so visitors see one interview turn into a month of content.
  • Services and retainers: Service rows with cadence and from prices, monthly retainers as price rows, and a five-step process from interview to report.
  • Case rows with sources: Each client case shows the source piece, the number of pieces cut from it and a sample result, plus a full case-study page.
  • Free Elementor and a ready enquiry form: Every page is built with free Elementor widgets on Hello Elementor, with a content enquiry form made with the free WPForms Lite plugin. Fonts are bundled: no Google Fonts requests.

The demo import creates this main menu (Appearance → Menus):

  • Home
  • Agency → Team, How we work
  • Services → Content strategy, Writing (Blog articles, Newsletters, Customer stories), Video and social
  • Work → Orchard Cycles
  • Journal
  • Contact

Header button: Send an enquiry (link /contact/#enquiry), changed in Appearance → Customize → LT Paste options.

One-page mode (Pro)

With Pro Standard or Pro Unlimited, tick One-page mode on the home page in Appearance → Customize → LT Paste options and the menu scrolls to these sections: The draft, Services, The month, How a month runs, Work, Client words, Pricing, Journal, Call to action. To change the labels or leave sections out, see One-page mode.

Used the old LT Paste onepage WordPress theme? It is not sold any more: version 2.0 is one theme for both. Install its Pro edition and turn on one-page mode.

Form

With WPForms Lite active, the demo import creates the form Content enquiry on the Contact page. Fields: Your name (required), Work email (required), Company and website (required), What do you need most (required), Where you publish today, Monthly budget, Who reads your content. Email subject: “Content enquiry from the website”. After sending, visitors see: “Thank you. An editor will reply by email within two working days with a time for 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 prices
  • example.com
  • (555)
  • Larkhill Content
  • Kiln Street
  • Springfield
  • Sample client
  • Orchard Cycles
  • Fernhill Nursery
  • Kiln Yard Joinery
  • Only highlight (`lt-hl`) passages that really are reused, and give each one a margin tag with channel and length.
  • Keep highlighter yellow behind dark text or on the dark band; never use it as text colour on light backgrounds.
  • Keep the four weeks of the month board in order; do not number things that are not a sequence.

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.

Photo guide

The demo uses placeholder pictures. Replace each one in Elementor (click it → Choose image) with a photo of about this size; save photos as JPEG or WebP under about 300 KB.

Questions about LT Paste

Do I need Elementor Pro?

No. LT Paste 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.

Can I change the draft in the hero?

Yes. The draft is normal Elementor text: write your own article title and passages, and mark reused lines with the highlighter class described in the AI kit.

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.

Does it work as a one-page site?

Yes. Turn on one-page mode in the Customizer and the menu scrolls to the home page sections; every edition includes it.

What is the difference between Free and Pro?

Free has the design, header and footer, the Agency and Contact pages and the blog. Pro adds the home page, services, work and all sub-pages, sample posts, one-click demo import, credit removal, updates and support. Pro Unlimited adds the AI kit.

I have the old LT Paste. 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 Paste also exists as a Joomla template: see the LT Paste Joomla docs.
