[ad_1] The Litho Multipurpose WordPress Elementor theme is a low-cost, high-value theme package that offers an abundance of options for creating great-looking WordPress websites exactly the way you want them.  Whether you’re building a brochure-style site for your new business, an eCommerce store to sell your products, or a portfolio site to showcase your creative work, the 36+ homepage designs, coupled with over 200 elements and inner-pages ensure you’ll have everything you need to really represent your brand online in a way that truly works for you.  Below, we’ll put Litho through its paces and outline what we like about it, what we think could be better, and whether this highly versatile Elementor theme is the right choice for your new website. Litho Multipurpose Elementor Theme Review  Make no mistake about it, Litho is undoubtedly one of the most affordable Elementor theme packages we’ve come across recently. At the time of writing, it was available via Theme Forest at just $29 for a standard Envato license which includes all of its features, plus access to future updates and six months of support. If you’d like to update that support even further, you can extend it to 12 months for just an extra $6.38.  This makes it very attractively priced compared to many other Elementor templates, but just because it doesn’t cost much doesn’t mean it doesn’t have much to offer.  Having tried it on one of our demo sites, we found it very easy to use, full of attractive design options which help you to stand out among a sea of all-too-similar-looking websites, and with a much-welcomed focus on high-performance so that using it doesn’t slow your site down. We’re not the only ones who think so, either.  Litho has only been around for a few short months but already boasts a Theme Forest rating of 4.75 and an impressive number of highly complimentary reviews for such a new theme.  Article Continues Below Still, don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what it’s like to actually use Litho to design a site of your own. Building Your Website With Litho  After installing and activating both the main theme and the all-important child theme, you’ll first be asked for all of the requisite plugins you’ll need to make the most out of Litho.  These include:  Other tools such as WooCommerce can also be installed at this stage, but honestly, this is only really necessary if you’re going to be building an eCommerce site. Even without that, the addition of these plugins ensures Litho provides even greater value for money as Slider Revolution on its own typically costs around $85.  Litho Demo Import With the plugin installed, your next step is to install the demo content.  Even this relatively small and often overlooked feature of theme installation is handled very well by Litho. If you want access to all of the content options, you can go ahead and simply choose the Full Import option, which will import everything that Litho has to offer. However, if you’re familiar with WordPress themes, you’ll no doubt know that these themes can often import far more templates and other content than you could even possibly use, all of which archives nothing more than leaving your site bloated, heavy, and cluttered. If you’d rather avoid that, Litho gives you the freedom to choose the individual import option and only upload those assets that you really want to use.  WooCommerce Integration If you are using WooCommerce to start your own online store, Litho also offers a handy wizard which makes light work out of setting up and configuring the theme and the WooCommerce platform to work in sync.  After using the wizard, you’ll find a selection of eCommerce themes that you can activate at the click of a button, meaning you’ve got a ready-made store up and running in moments.  From there, you’ll find even more to like. The product galleries are very well designed to showcase your wares in the best possible light. Meanwhile, detailed filtering options and a modern mini-cart also help to enhance your customers’ experience, ultimately improving sales and repeat visits in the process. Litho Theme Options  Once everything is important, installed, and ready to go, you can head to the standard WordPress customizer by selecting Appearance – Customize from the main WordPress dashboard menu and begin tweaking the main options for your site. The first task you’ll want to take care of is heading to the Homepage Settings options, where you can choose one of the countless page designs to serve as the main page for your website.  Elsewhere, you’ll also find all of the usual customizer options along with theme options that are unique to Litho.  These include: Custom 404 pages Custom sidebars Image metadata Side icons Social sharing options Title wrappers Plus the option to configure settings for: GDPR Search page Scroll to top and more. Editing Your Litho template with Elementor  Even more than the multiple templates and design elements, the one thing we like best about Litho is that it’s built specifically to be edited with the Elementor site builder.  Since Elementor itself is such a powerful and yet easy-to-use page builder, it means all you have to do to really take control of the look and feel of your website is to select the Edit With Elementor  option for each page, click on the element you want to customize, and use the simple graphical interface to change it to your liking. Of course, if you decide to start from scratch, Elementor makes that easy too.  There are an endless array of elements to choose from, including everything from animations, alert boxes, buttons, and calls to action to FAQs, forms, testimonial boxes, maps, and much more, all of which can be customized and combined in an infinite number of ways to create a true one-of-a-kind site. Section Builder  Another great thing about Litho is that it takes this one step further by including a custom section builder.
