Design Consistency When Adding New Pages with Elementor
Maintaining a consistent and visually cohesive web presence is crucial for a professional user experience. Therefore each page on your site should have comparable elements throughout like layout and branding styles.
When adding new pages using Elementor, one of the best ways to ensure your design stays uniform to the one created by your WordPress website developer is by duplicating an existing page and replacing the content. This allows for design consistency when adding new pages with Elementor. Without the technical expertise of having to design this from scratch every time a new page is added.
Elementors intuitive interface and drag-and-drop functions make it easy to navigate and update your site’s content with ease.
Let’s dive into how this works and how to duplicate a page in Elementor.
Why Duplicating a Page Works
Duplicating a page in Elementor allows you to carry over all design elements from your current pages—such as headers, footers, fonts, colour schemes, and layout styles—without having to manually recreate them. This saves you time while ensuring that your design elements remain consistent across your website.
Steps to Duplicate a Page in Elementor
Follow these steps to duplicate a page on your Elementor website.
1. Find the Page to Duplicate
Start by selecting a page that closely matches the design you want for your new page.
2. Use the ‘Duplicate’ Function
Navigate to pages in your WordPress dashboard, hover over the options for the page you wish to duplicate and then click on ‘Duplicate Page.’ A new page will then be generated with the same name and will show as a draft or copy. This usually appears below the live page.
3. Replace Content
Once you have found your duplicated page, click on this and access the Elementor editor. Then simply replace the text, images, or other content blocks to suit the needs of your new page. Since the structure is already in place, this step is quick and easy. Allowing you to keep design consistency when adding new pages with Elementor.
4. Fine-tune the Layout
After replacing the content, you may want to adjust minor elements like padding or spacing to fit the new content better or include additional elements.
Always preview your new page to ensure that it aligns with the design of your existing pages.
