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 /#colours).

Section (Navigator name)CSS ID
Colour book#colours
On the floor#floor
Private viewings#viewing
Order a new car#commission
Part-exchange#part-exchange
Aftercare#aftercare
Journal#journal
Visit#visit
  • The colour book: The home page opens with paint chips grouped by tier, each with its code, surcharge and extra build time, and a ring on colours that have a car on the floor.
  • Cars on the floor: Stock rows that start with each car's paint chip, then model and specs, interior, an example price and Ask about this car.
  • Ordering a new car: The five steps from specification to handover, build times per paint tier, deposit terms, build slots and a handover page.
  • Colour and trim: The full paint range and the leather hides as the same chips, with stitch options and surcharges.
  • Private viewings and aftercare: A viewing request form with stock number or paint code, a test drive route, collection for servicing, winter storage and paint care.
  • Free Elementor, no brands: Every page uses free Elementor widgets on Hello Elementor, with a viewing request form made with the free WPForms Lite plugin. Fonts are bundled, and the demo has no car brands or logos.

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

  • Home
  • Cars → Grand tourers (Coupes, Convertibles, Shooting brakes), Saloons and SUVs, Approved pre-owned
  • Order a new car → Colour and trim, Build slots and handover
  • The salon → Private viewings, Aftercare and storage
  • Journal
  • Visit

Header button: Book a viewing (link /contact/#request), changed in Appearance → Customize → LT Salon Car options.

One-page mode (Pro)

With Pro Standard or Pro Unlimited, tick One-page mode on the home page in Appearance → Customize → LT Salon Car options and the menu scrolls to these sections: Colour book, On the floor, Private viewings, Order a new car, Part-exchange, Aftercare, Journal, Visit. To change the labels or leave sections out, see One-page mode.

Used the old LT Salon Car 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 Book a private viewing on the Visit and contact page. Fields: Your name (required), Email (required), Phone (optional), What would you like to do? (required), Which car or colour?, When suits you?, I would like to, Anything we should prepare. Email subject: “Private viewing request from the website”. After sending, visitors see: “Thank you. We reply by email or phone within one working day with a time, and keep the car on its plinth for you.”

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 price
  • example.com
  • (555)
  • Ashcombe Motor Salon
  • Ashcombe Row
  • Springfield
  • Keep the chips honest: a chip shows a real paint of the range with its code, tier and surcharge; `is-floor` only when a car in that colour is in the showroom now, with its stock number.
  • Stitch thread is for stitching on oxblood only; never use it for text on light backgrounds or for offers.
  • Do not add brand names, badges or logos, finance offers, promised values or reviews presented as real; there is no online checkout, so buttons go to the viewing form or the phone.

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 Salon Car

Do I need Elementor Pro?

No. LT Salon Car 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 paint colours in the colour book?

Each chip is a Text Editor widget: edit its code and name, and change the colour in the swatch's background value. Leave the class `is-floor` only on colours that have a car in the showroom.

Can I show my real stock?

Yes. Every car is a normal Elementor row: change the chip, model, specs, interior and price, or ask an AI assistant to do it with the AI kit's safe edit tool. There is no stock feed or checkout; buyers ask through the form or by phone.

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 salon and Visit and contact pages and the blog. Pro adds the home page, the cars, ordering and aftercare pages, sample posts, one-click demo import, credit removal, updates and support. Pro Unlimited adds the AI kit.

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