Elementor as a System, with Stan van der Maarel
📍 WordPress Meetup Amsterdam

Have you built a few websites with Elementor and started noticing your workflow getting messy or inconsistent?

During our next meetup, Stan van der Maarel will share how he approaches Elementor projects as structured systems instead of individual pages.

In this practical 20-minute session, he will cover topics like:
• Reducing unnecessary containers using proper flex settings (grow & shrink)
• Building a clean internal design system inside Elementor
• Working with global tokens and fluid typography
• Performance-first decisions (local fonts & automatic WebP conversion)
• Separating layout from data using JetEngine (CPTs & Options Pages)

This session is aimed at Elementor users who already have some experience and want to streamline their process and build more scalable websites.
