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 /#new).

  • Releases drawn as records: The home page opens with the newest release as a record with its centre label, catalogue number and an orange new-release sticker.
  • A catalogue to scale: Releases in catalogue-number order, every disc drawn at its format's size: 7-inch, 10-inch or 12-inch; the test pressing in white.
  • Sessions and rates: Studio sessions shown as the records they make, with what is included and Example prices, plus rooms, engineers and questions.
  • Label and artists: The story, how a release works, the roster with catalogue numbers, where to buy the records, coming soon and a page for demos.
  • Free Elementor and a ready booking form: Every page is built with free Elementor widgets on Hello Elementor, with a studio booking 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
  • The label → Send a demo
  • Studio → Rooms (Live room, Vocal booth, Cutting room), Mixing and mastering
  • Releases → Artists, Coming soon
  • Studio notes
  • Contact

Header button: Book studio time (link /contact/#request), changed in Appearance → Customize → LT Recoric options.

One-page mode (Pro)

With Pro Standard or Pro Unlimited, tick One-page mode on the home page in Appearance → Customize → LT Recoric options and the menu scrolls to these sections: Out now, Catalogue, The studio, Sessions and rates, From first take to test pressing, Artists, Where to buy the records, Send a demo, Studio notes, Call to action. To change the labels or leave sections out, see One-page mode.

Used the old LT Recoric 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 Studio booking request on the Contact and bookings page. Fields: Your name or the band's name (required), Email (required), Phone (optional), What do you want to make (required), How many musicians, Dates you have in mind (required), You would also like, Tell us about the songs. Email subject: “Studio booking request from the website”. After sending, visitors see: “Thank you. The studio manager replies by email within two working days with free dates, a quote and what to bring.”

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)
  • Lathe House
  • Springfield
  • Keep the discs to scale: `is-7` for 7-inch singles, `is-10` for 10-inch, `is-12` for 12-inch; do not resize a disc to fill space.
  • Use a white label (`is-white`) only for a record that is not out yet, and the orange sticker only on the newest release.
  • Do not number releases or sections; catalogue numbers are the label's own identifiers, and only the session process is numbered.

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.

AI kit (Pro Unlimited)

lt-discboxsquare box that holds one record, so captions line up whatever the disc size
lt-disca record drawn from above; size class is-12|is-10|is-7 = format to scale; is-white = white label (test pressing or session record); lt-disc–hero = the large hero record
lt-labelthe centre label inside lt-disc: lt-label__top (catalogue number, side, speed), lt-hole (spindle hole, a spacer), lt-label__bottom (title, artist)

Questions about LT Recoric

Do I need Elementor Pro?

No. LT Recoric 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 add my own releases?

Yes. Each release is an Elementor container with a disc, a centre label and a caption. Copy one, change the catalogue number, title and artist, and set the size class for 7, 10 or 12-inch.

Does it sell records or take bookings online?

No checkout or calendar is built in. The booking form sends a request to you, and order buttons go to your email or your own shop.

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 Label and Contact pages and the blog. Pro adds the home page, studio, releases, rooms, mixing and mastering, artists, coming soon and demo pages, sample posts, one-click demo import, credit removal, updates and support. Pro Unlimited adds the AI kit.

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