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 /#receipt).

- Where the money goes, as a receipt: The home page opens with a till receipt that splits what a customer paid into wages, supplies, rent and the traineeship fund, with a printed bar in proportion.
- Every venture with its own stub: Canteen, workshop and print room rows with what you can buy, opening hours and a receipt stub for every $10 spent.
- Jobs and training: Paid traineeships set out week by week, pay and hours, who can apply and volunteer roles.
- Members, board and impact report: Community membership, the board, how the company is run and the year's accounts on one receipt.
- Free Elementor and a ready order form: Every page is built with free Elementor widgets on Hello Elementor, with an 'Order, book or join' form made with the free WPForms Lite plugin. Fonts are bundled: no Google Fonts requests.

Email subject: “Order, booking or enquiry from the website”. After sending, visitors see: “Thank you. The right person at the yard will reply by email, usually within one working day.”

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)BrickfieldCanal StreetSpringfieldSample customer
- Only use the receipt where it states money; every split must add up to its total and the bar widths to 100%.
- Keep hi-vis for marks on green or dark (open-now dot, hero rule); never for text on light backgrounds.
- Use Sono's monospaced mode only on receipts; headings and text stay proportional.
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.

Questions about LT Social Company
Do I need Elementor Pro?
No. LT Social Company 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 figures on the receipt?
Yes. Each receipt line is plain text in a text widget, and the bar takes four percentages. Use your own accounts, keep the split adding up to the total, or ask an AI assistant to do it with the AI kit's safe edit tool.
Is it only for cafés and workshops?
No. Rename the ventures to whatever you run: a shop, a garden, a laundry, a cleaning team. The receipt works for any business that trades for a social purpose.
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 About us and Contact pages and the blog. Pro adds the home page, What we run, Jobs and training, 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 Social Company. 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 Social Company also exists as a Joomla template: see the LT Social Company Joomla docs.
