Elementor’s default 1140px doesn’t work. Here’s why

- Опубликовано: 27 июн 2022
- I've discovered something quite huge about Elementor's default 1140px grid. It's not what you think it is and I've been doing it wrong for many many years. This information is really important for the upcoming container update that's coming to Elementor.

You are awesome Rino! My partner and I have a design agency and you just hands down changed our entire design system using elementor pro. You got two more loyal subscribers and you should be proud of the impact you're having on the community. THANK YOU ◡̈
Wow, that is super awesome to hear. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏻
My goodness. I'm just shaking my head. This. Is. In… CREDIBLE! Thank you SO much for not just taking so much of the challenging head-energy out of this challenge, but for breaking it down like you did. I'm on your site… I'm just blown away. I'm trying to take a Photoshop mock from our designer, right now, and adhere to his gutter spaces (which looks about 60ish pixels apart). Gonna study your math. Incredible work!
Thank you so much Rino! You have just saved my life! I've spent the whole day to figure out how to divide columns evenly...
This video is insanely helpful! I’m new to web design/development and this was some information I’ve been needing! I appreciate you for using your time to share this with us! 🙌🏾 Thank you so much!
I LOVE your geeky enthusiasm over this :D You are so unique and good at explaining, that I return to your channel over and over again. :)
Thank you for shedding light on something hidden right under our noses. It all makes sense now and this will help me transition from the "old" Elementor to the new container methodology. You're a breath of fresh air, Rino!! Thanks for the amazing insight!
You're so welcome!
As a newish designer, I’m always excited to learn new things. As a nerd, this video makes me so happy. FINALLY, I understand the default 1140. I’ve been learning the 8pt grid system bc my brain must have consistency and structure. I have no idea yet how these will work together, but I thank you so much for explaining this so well (and for figuring it out lol!)
Fantastic. Thanks Rino. Manually setting the 3 layouts across desktop/tablet/mobile is one of Elemtors biggest drawbacks. Whilst it's great to have the ability to change those values manually, having a logical default setting that produces an elegant visual design (as you have suggested) would be a huge time saver.
Awesome video Rino! Thanks for taking the time to explain the widths and create the resource page. I also wondered why Elementor created that default spacing in the columns, but all makes sense now. I like to work with a baseline grid of 3, so I'm glad you did one for 1260px 👍🏼
Been looking for these measurements and just as I need it, I get the answers from you! Thank you! Big help!
Ive probably watched this video ten times in the past year... You create great content. I'm an old school designer at this point. I'm 44 and have been a designer for over 20 years. Thank you for your content.
Great to hear! Thank you
LOVE IT. Your vids are BRILLIANT. I'm new to elementor, used another theme since 2015 - your logic and videos are helping learn Elementor so well. Thanks you ❤❤
Hi Rino, great video, I also love the 8 px System, and it works well for me. I am glad you are talking about because it is one of the key starting point people don't tend to think about. Great Work thank you
Really great tutorial to break it down. I've been using percentages instead of fixed pixel widths since the flexbox containers came out with great success too
Fantastic! I love how thorough you are! And, as a videographer myself, great setup you have over there, the sound, staging, and lighting is perfect. Now if I could just hire you to help me take my site to the next level lol :)
Thanks, Rino! And thanks a ton for adding those calculations to your website! Elementor should add Flex and Grid to their new update and that would fix such headache :)
This video arrived at a good time because I was wondering what size to use for overall width, gutters, etc for desktop, tablet and mobile. I was actually using 1100px until I became educated on the subject, but now I'll be using 1120px moving forward. Thanks for the clarity, as well as the incredible time you invested into this video.
Great tut Rino! I’m looking forward to the new rollout of the container element! That being said, I’m not holding my breath as it’s been taking forever!
This is why Bricks is gaining ground so quickly! The container element was almost from ground zero! Elementor really should have had this ready to rock by now!
hey, Rino! that was indeed a lot of work! nice job with the sheets and the measurements page! looks like a good reference and good starting point! thanks for sharing! it would be cool to also see a version of these numbers using the 8px grid as basis (where all sizes and spaces are divisible by 8).
Yes! He is so very generous with his time and knowledge!
More of that man! This in depth video format is so good 😍 I’ll share that with my colleagues.
I can relate so much since we’re also struggling heavily with pixel perfect design with elementor, as well as with angular. Keep up the great work 👌
Awesome!
😉 Hey Reno how are you doing you've been doing very great and I never for once regret subscribing to your channel and i would even recommend you to others without hesitation thanks so much Man. What I love most about you is the fact that you don't create video just to gain views you give us the content we need a heart for you ❤️💕
Absolutely awesome! Exactly what I needed to create my website using proper spaces! Thank you very much, Rino!!
Excellent thought process. Although I have seen a few vids from this channel I never subscribed to the channel. This vid has now made me a subscriber. Good on you guy.
Man, thanks so much for this video, literally no one on RUclips has explained and showcased this better. I personally usually use the 1260 grid, i find it a little more esthetic, and man im glad you included this. Thanks again Rino!
Better to use 1240 then you will get column size without decimals
610 if using 2 columns layout
400 if using 3 columns layout
295 if using 4 columns layout
232 if using 5 columns layout
190 if using 6 columns layout
Man, this has changed my life right now while I watch the video. Why isn't this video featured in the Elementor website!! lol this is amazing and everything now makes sense!! This is so perfect. thanks so much!!!
Thank you so much for all your help and fantastic tutorials. You are so pleasant to watch! Please continue the great work! :D
Brilliant. So grateful for your insight.
That's an awesome video. I was doing web development for a year, but this is the first time I hear about these standards. Thanks a lot for the great content.
Ontzettend bedankt Rino! Ik ga de gids die je hebt gemaakt gebruiken voor al mijn projecten vanaf nu want ik ben altijd onzeker over de juiste breedte op desktop etc. Nogmaals heel veel dank voor al het werk wat je hierin hebt gestoken :-)
I also struggled with this for a while. To deal with the extra pixel spacing issue on the side of the columns, I set the column gap to “no gap”. Then you eliminate the extra px gap on each side.
My design team has built a few designs on the 1140px grid but most often I find we set the width at 1380px. You get so much more space to explore the design.
You are the best man. No one explains deeply like you. No one.
Incredible value for your subscribers! Thank you so much!
Big Respect Rino! I'm learning more and more from you. Thank you for everything. 😊💙
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this and all that amazing content you created. It helped me a lot. You got a new loyal subscriber. Thank you for your hard work!
That’s awesome to hear! Thanks 😎
Just about to do a website redesign. I think you've saved me so much frustration - THANK YOU!
Nice job, I appreciate the work that you put into this to help us out. Thank you!
Hey, Rino... this is so awesome work. I really liked it and it's so informative and it make lot of sense with your explanation. ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Thank you for the video! Always a pleasure to learn from you, best channel for web design and development on YT! 🙏
Thank you! it does make much more sense.. and you explain it very clearly.. Thank you for the hard work... keep it up...
Un très grand merci pour ta pédagogie et ton travail de très grande qualité.
Cool video. Great humility to be able to say you learned something new!
Thanks for sharing these grids guide. I respect the acknowledgment of missing this matter 😁. Once again, thank you 🙏🏽💌
Omg great video !!! Thank you so much for explaining so well !!
WOW !!! one of the most useful tutorials I have seen - EVER! thank you so much!!👏🙏💙
Hey there Rino! Just wondering, wouldn't a flexbox container set to 100% also scale to the size of the viewscreen (re: mobile layout)?
Sir, it's complex to explain but you make it very easy for us to understand, Thanks.!
OH My Goodness this is one of the best responsive tutorials i have ever seen things finally makes sense thanks so much
FIRST OF ALLLLLL....YOU TELLING ME I HAD A MAC FOR ALL THESE YEARS AND I NEVER KNEW SPOTLIGHT COULD BE USED AS A CALCULATOR lmboooo I subscribed!!! Your videos are the best. I literally never knew that OMG
I love all your videos. You are a fantastic guy. Elementor needs to put you on their payroll.
Super important to know. Thank you for sharing!!! ❤
Awesomes video. It solves my question about Elementor layout. TY Very much.
I love how you always provide a reference cheat sheets or easy to cut and paste codes!!!
OMG you are a genius. I just watched 2 of your videos (and subscribed as they are both great!) and I'm going to rework all my pages right now!
Great value here. Thanks a lot Rino!
Very valuable content. Thank you for always sharing.
Thanks so much for another great video. I’m off to set up standard column layouts in Figma for desktop, tablet and mobile now!!
Thank you for sharing this tutorial is very helpful
Brilliant insight into using containers in elementor.
Making mistakes teaches valuable lessons learning any technology.
Thank you for sharing your best practices approach and all your hard work.
Can't wait to put it in to practice :)
Thanks, thanks, thanks Rino! Nice master class. Greetings from Spain!
Echt respect dat je niet alleen een korte video hebt gemaakt, waarin je laat zien dat 1140px niet goed is, maar dat je zelfs het probleem helemaal hebt opgelost met een geweldige instructie voor designers. Top gozer ben je toch
Dankjewel man!
@@rinodeboer ik dacht al dat je Nederlands was, ik ben laatst van Joomla na Wp gegaan en elementair pro gekocht. Moest dus veel weer opnieuw leren. Wat heb ik veel aan je gehad. Bedankt.
Thank you Rino very much for this clarification. It will be so useful in the design/development flow. :)
Thanks for the email Rino with the link to this video. It makes so much sense now!!! Cheers. Joss
This was really a great insghts. How i've underestimate these calculations all these years. Thanks
Truely speaking, you work really really hard. You deserve LIKE. Actually, from the beginning of my learning, I search for a perfect guideline for container but I didn't. Little bit I learned from your one old clip and Now I am clear about this. Thank you.
Thank you for the compliment 👌🏼🙏🏻
This video is very helpful in. Keep it up; I loved it, buddy. Even though I had a big issue with this; you solved it because responsive is always a challenge at present due to a lot of devices with different sizes
wow bro I like to go into detail and you answered my questions you are the best thanks alot
Thank you so much for your videos! 🙏🏻
Mind. Blown. Im gonna try that now with Flexbox, thank you!
Nice video! Thanks for sharing. I was doing it wrong too for last few years. Time to adjust!!
Do you normally set page and post to full with or normally work on Elementors default width? I value your recommendations and input. Thank you.
Great vid, Rino, a lot of really well thought out design theory here!
Thanks Rino! Much appreciated
It can't get anymore simple than this. Thank you soo much howtobasic!
Wow! Thanks for the insight. I appreciate this. Anything to make all this stuff make more sense.
Wow, you did a lot of work. I was thinking many times how to calculate it in Figma and after that use it in Elementor. This is wonderful, so thank you and I'll be waiting for container video. I use it already but I belive you give us again some amazing tips. :)
Thank you Rino! Great video, never stop teaching and learning 👍
Thanks a lot - that made so much sense. I was constantly fighting against my own margins & padding using Flex containers. Now everything flows very nicely.
One thing I noticed when setting elements gap to percentages: this doesn't work on the horizontal spaces between elements. I had to manually set vertical padding on containers, creating more work.
I have the exact same problem with the bottom spacing and I told elementor about it when I met them at Wordcamp. So they are aware of it 👌🏼
@@rinodeboer Do you also manually add padding to each container, or do you have some black magic workaround? ;)
For top and bottom padding I don’t have a simple workaround. For padding left and right its easier to use the Boxed Container width and put it at 90% for example.
THANK. YOU.
I think I love you right now.
We've been struggling with the box size/columns size and whats best for elementor.
This video helps a looooot!!!!
Great to hear!
That's why i'm always in trouble splitting columns. Thanks, very helpful.
Smart man. Thanks for figuring it out. It always bothered me. Now I understand why Elementor was doing the spacing.
I'm really happy your channel exist, you always teach me and help me a lot, i'm from Latin america, native spanish speaker, but your english pronunciation is SOO understable, the best! i love that, with you i feel i'm listening and undertanding you like in spanish hahah thanks for existing
That’s so cool to hear! Thank you very much 🙏🏻
@@rinodeboer
Really informative. Thanks for your work!
Hey mate, tXD is not allowing the same grid setting you have shown in your video? When I set the column =12, gutter = 75 and the width turns to 118 instead of 75?
Thank you for sharing this valuble information
Wow - fantastic video. I just checked out your channel and subscribed. I don't know how I haven't clicked on any of your videos before, lol! Honestly, I am replacing my default RUclips "Elementor tutorials" search with your channel - I'll be looking here first! So much great content. Your presentation style is lovely. Straightforward, concise, easy to follow and understand, with no "filler talking" to constantly skip through while keeping your content enjoyable, relatable and "human". Huge kudos to all the work you do. I'm excited to watch more videos and finally get my new WooCommerce shop designed and launched so I can shut down my sub-par Wix site. Over the past few months, I've been back and forth between 20 different themes and builders, not to mention the countless plugins combos... I've finally settled on building with Elementor Pro and Hello theme (barebones/using Elementor Themebuilder with minimal plugins); with your amazing guidance, I'm feeling much more optimistic and confident. Thank you! Keep up the phenomenal work!
Your comment made my day. Thank you very much! I put a lot of effort in my videos so this is really cool to hear 😄🙏🏻
Thank you so much Rino. That was so valuable to me as always :) Keep it up!
You can set the gap in px and then let the boxes stretch and fill out the available space using flexbox. You have that available as size in Elementor.
Excellent video Rino. Very educational as always. 🤩
super important infos, thank you very much!
Keep creating content this is really good 💯
Amazing! Thank you so much for the video and the resources! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Living with pixels to one day become pixel perfect. Thank you for this lesson. Awesome!
very basic thing in web to understand is the box model. its crazy how many designers don't even try to understand margins, padding, borders, width/height. good for you fixing this mistake for yourself.
nice video - thanks!
have a question on headers with patterns. if you use them on desktop and on mobile I get a headache because resolution and positioning...do you have an advice about this?
Thanks, very enlightening tutorial. One inquiry... At that 1:31 mark, there appears to be an element that is a wavy Bezier path in Elementor in the Hero background area. Is it just an illusion to my eyes with a graphic... or is it really adjustable? If so, can you share how that was done? Thanks.
Thanks RINO - Great Video - I used your links to order Siteground Hosting and Elementor Pro to show some appreciation.
Thank you very much! That means a lot 🙏🏻😁
Muy buen contenido! Esto es oro, muchísimas gracias!!!
I really appreciate it. I was suffering for so long, but finally I found you. Umuahhhhhhh Buddy, thumbs up.
Thank you so much this helped a lot!!!! You saved my life
Hi Rino! Thanks for this video!, i have a question though.... should i setup the page layout in Elementor to 1120 or to 1140?
Not really sure if i understood it. Thanks!
