There's nothing like a clean layout and grid 💻

[@rodlivz]

This was amazing content! Thank you. We can't wait for the new content!

[@mrjohncrumpton]

"Just because something is clean and easy, doesn't mean it's easy to build" so true!

[@LytboxStudio]

It takes skills to make it look easy;) I think that's why we all cringe when clients say "It should be simple" 🙈

[@rodlivz]

Couldn't agree more!!!

[@peshi9730]

Yeah, You are right I build a website for my client with amazing animations and multiple others things after all with over 3 revisions client change his whole website to a very very simple looking, He was also from united states of america

[@jayleno007]

I finally bought Elementor Pro after using the free version for a year. I love it but it has a learning curve. Just watched a couple of your videos and wow I subscribed so fast! I find alot of WordPress or Elementor videos on KZbin are gimmicky or don't show best practices. Thanks for showing me how to become a better web designer with such simple and easy tips 😌

[@LytboxStudio]

I really appreciate that! This is what inspires me to do this.

[@aaronbachiu8690]

I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now and I just wanted to say I really appreciate your content. You're easy to listen to and I have learned a lot of nifty little time saving tricks just in this one video alone. I appreciate this channel and the work you do, and look forward to learning more from you as I continue to learn more about web design. Thank you for your content!

[@tripleoneweb9566]

[@danplumadore647]

Another awesome video featuring a crucial element that most web designers overlook: actual design. I am a staunch believer in the basics. They are there for a reason: they work. As a designer, I always look to the needs of my clients and will always feature clean designs as part of my stylescape. Of course, the keyword here client "needs." If my client wants off the wall and cleanliness be damned, then that is what they will get. I still work with gridding systems even though I have developed a good eye for layout over time. Thanks for this video and I really love the idea of featuring more on layout and design in general. There are only a few KZbinrs that I follow for inspiration. Yours is definitely one. Have an awesome week, Jeff.

[@LytboxStudio]

Yo Dan, I really appreciate that and feel the exact same way. Big thanks!🙏

Jef, this is really helpful for my process. I've been gone through this process before without any fix formula for setting up the spacing. Now, your video really gave me cool insights how to set it up properly with fix formula. Once again thanks so much man 😁🙏

Yo Clement! So glad to hear. Thanks! 🙏

[@chryztian7]

Great tips! thank you for sharing

[@dantedmc5408]

I use the multiples of 8, I too have OCD. So, my font-size, paddings, margins are usually 8, 16, 32px. I also use 1280 for my section width, which also is divisible by 8.

[@LytboxStudio]

So glad to hear I’m not alone! Does it also drive you bonkers seeing a random px number like 17px or 23px?

[@dantedmc5408]

@@LytboxStudio seriously, when the other designer in the team makes some changes on the project I am working on. He will put random numbers for padding that fits visually, I then try to correct it to the nearest multiple of 8, lol.

[@PaulSX]

This is so eye opening wish I had found this before alot of my earlier projects. Thank you so much

Wow really great information!!! Great details and great starting point for specific numbers. (liked subscribed)

[@fulilaoji7483]

[@leftofright]

I prefer the rule of 8's 8 - 16 - 24 - 36 - 48 - 60 - etc - its dead easy to remember and you can easily spot what sizes are what without checking the advanced info.

[@LytboxStudio]

That’s a good system. I bet it’s made your designers cleaner!

Wow thanks! This means a lot! I took some time off to visit family after being separated for 2 years due to Covid. That and I had to focus on my design company for a while. I needed to improve processes as we've been growing. This way, I can share with others from experience. And now, I'm back to creating content!

[@mohammad-omar-07]

❤❤ thanks man

[@rswebmarketing]

Thanks for this video. Do you know why there is automatically space at the bottom of each text widget even if the padding or margin is set to 0 ? We see it on your example and I have the same problem, so I have to create negative margin (-15px) to cancel it.

[@stefanoaiellocopy]

@@LytboxStudio I saw the sticky menu video (the last one you uploaded in 2020 I think). I was looking for how to improve my menus. I saw that video and I couldn't stop, I'm watching all your videos!! Thanks for explaining everything so well! I only have one question to ask you... How can I make a menu like the one on your site? A side menu that opens to the right. If you can explain that would be great!

[@m4uro858]

LEGIT!

[@DeathByDominic]

Should your boxed section width take into account your section padding? Say you want a 1100 section width at most. But you also want to set up easy right/left padding of 12px for tablet and mobile consistency, then would you set the global boxed section width to 1076? (1100-24) Love your videos by the way, when I saw your videos I thought you were a 100k+ subscribers YT account, excellent video content and quality.

[@LytboxStudio]

Hey thank! Much appreciated. You can adjust to account for the side padding, but I prefer to keep it simple with a rounded number for my content width. Makes it much easier to manage. As long as it's consistent, it's all good.

[@morgancotten]

Hello and thank you for the work ! I have a question please, what widget do you use to animate the background of your site (spiral), the numbers 1-2-3-4-5 and the kinds of zig-zag around the texts ? Thank you very much for your answer !

[@LytboxStudio]

Thanks and apologies for the late reply - I don't use any plugins or widgets. It's all custom. For the animated background, that was simple. It's a lottie. I found it on lottiefiles.com/ and downloaded for free. The animated number and other lines are animated SVG that's coded in with CSS. And the other animations are with GSAP.

[@morgancotten]

@@LytboxStudio Great, thanks for the reply. I managed to integrate text via GSAP and I try to make each number independent because when scrolling the page, for example section 2 reloads section 1, knowing that each character has a different length, I end up with digits only half written. Please, do you have a solution ? Thanks very much !!

[@myrules3376]

Is it the same with containers

[@arnelGo-fj7qc]

[@dannygrio]

Thanks for this amazing content. I really enjoy this kind of information and is really helpful. This said, one thing I always question myself, is if I keep the layout size default in elementor. You answered that brilliantly! Another thing, is what size image should I create to use in the Hero section. I started just using 2000px images, however, I got a large monitor now and I just found out that the website I created the hero image for at 2000px is looking off. I am using now a 29 inch monitor at 2560px resolution. Therefore, the question I make, what is a good guideline when working with layout size 1280px as you mentioned when cropping images to use in the full width size section? An image that can span across. Thanks again!!

[@LytboxStudio]

Many Thanks 🙏💜 And apologies for the late reply. I'm coming back from a long break. Great questions. First for the images, As long as they are background they should be fine and only occasionally need to be adjust for large screens. I crop my image at 1600px max size and try to keep them under 150kb for banner size images. Designing for large screens is a challenge because people use their screens differently. Some zoom and scale in. Using REM for text can help fix a lot of this. What I suggest is creating a new Breakpoint for devices over 2400px and make adjustment from there.

[@dannygrio]

@@LytboxStudio thanks a lot. Maybe a video around this topic. At this moment I am again fighting this resolution issue. I created a hero section with two columns. The left column has text and the right column an Image. Well, when I change screen resolution the image on the right won't span 100% of the column in some resolutions. Maybe I am doing something wrong but this always happens. Thanks again!

[@LytboxStudio]

@@dannygrio for sure. I have more design focused content coming out and will put a focus on widescreens. It sounds like something else is happening with the image. Make sure to set the background size to cover and it will span the whole width. And you can share a link, I'll have a quick look.

Hi Lytbox, why the number 12 is your favorite of number, why not 10, 15 or 20? 😊

[@LytboxStudio]

I think it’s from the OCD in me 😂 I like to have everything in the multiples of 4. It makes doing the math easier. And I definitely would never use 15px! Then I’d end up with all kinds of odd and random looking numbers.

[@Andi-zs7no]

@@LytboxStudio ah ok i see what you mean, i am similar to you but i do it from 5, so 5, 10, 15 etc.... 😄

[@LytboxStudio]

As long as there’s a system! The 4s are just my own quirk 🤣

[@ibrahim.tariq525]

Must Reply: Where did you learn the beast elementor web design. I want to learn that it, etc.

[@LytboxStudio]

Hey Ibrahim, apologies for the late reply. I learned web design by obsessing over it lol First I mastered CSS when starting as a front-end dev. Then Sketch App for designing mockups. And continuously studied design, UI, UX, Typography, Color Theory, Design Thinking, and anything design related. I still study it and continue to learn. A good starting place is studying Design Thinking. There's lots of books and content. And look at what the top designers are doing on Dribbble and Behance. And keep on learning.

[@thamos6546]

How do web designers make their choice of width? For example 1280 or 900 px?

[@LytboxStudio]

Good question! I use 1280px for full width containers and 846px for smaller containers. I use a grid system with 1280px for 12 columns and 846px equals 8 columns. I'll have to make a video showing how this works
