Email subject: “Course enquiry from the website”. After sending, visitors see: “Thank you. An admissions adviser will reply by email within three 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)FenmoorSpringfield
- Keep every course map true: each year adds up to 120 credits, block sizes match credits, one final project block per course.
- Keep hood silk blue for the wine band (final project block, open-day dot); never use it for text on stone.
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 University
Do I need Elementor Pro?
No. LT University 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 a course map?
Each module is a small Elementor container: edit its code and title, or change its size class (lt-mod–20, 40 or 60) to match its credits. Keep every year at 120 credits.
Does it suit a college that does not use credits?
Yes. Use the blocks for terms or units instead, or remove the map and keep the rest of the pages; every section works on its 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 About and Contact pages and the blog. Pro adds the home page, courses, admissions and their sub-pages, sample posts, one-click demo import, credit removal, updates and support. Pro Unlimited adds the AI kit.
I have the old LT University. 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 University also exists as a Joomla template: see the LT University Joomla docs.
