Advanced Elementor Container Tutorial: A Full Width Layout

Summary

Video Summary: Advanced Container Layouts in Elementor

This tutorial demonstrates how to create visually striking, full-screen container layouts (like the Porsche and Volkswagen designs shown) using Elementor’s Flexbox containers. The key focus is ensuring panels stick to the sides of the screen while the main content stays centered on a grid (e.g., 1120px), creating a polished, immersive experience for users.

Key Techniques Covered:

1. Flexbox Containers & Spacing

   • Use three horizontal containers (left, middle, right) within a parent container set to full width.
   • Apply "Space Between" alignment to push side containers to the edges while keeping the middle container centered on the grid.
   • Adjust widths: Side containers (e.g., 80px) and middle container (1120px).

2. Dynamic Height Control

   • Set the parent container’s height to 80vh (80% of viewport height) and a bottom bar to 20vh, ensuring the layout fills the screen without scrolling.
   • Content below (e.g., normal sections) appears only when users scroll.

3. Mobile Considerations

   • These layouts are desktop-optimized; hide side panels on mobile for simplicity.

4. Rotated Text & Side Panels

   • Left/right panels use rotated headings (via Transform settings) and custom spacing.
   • Right panel aligns icons vertically using "Space Between" and an empty spacer container.

5. Overlapping Elements (Volkswagen Example)

   • Use negative margins and z-index to layer containers (e.g., a blurred sidebar overlapping the main section).
   • Add CSS blur effects (transparency + backdrop-filter) for modern visuals.

Pro Tips:

• Not beginner-friendly: Requires familiarity with Elementor’s container system.
• Performance trade-off: These layouts prioritize "wow factor" over speed.
• Course Mention: The creator offers an in-depth Elementor course for advanced techniques.

Final Takeaway: Mastering Flexbox containers and spacing unlocks dynamic, edge-to-edge designs that impress users while maintaining structural control.
