Creating a professional and cohesive full-page layout with Element UI is straightforward when you understand how to effectively combine multiple components. This guide will walk you through the process, with a special focus on maintaining consistent spacing and visual harmony.

Selecting Components

1. Choose components that complement each other in terms of style and functionality.
2. Consider the flow of information and user experience when deciding the order of components.

Arranging Components

1. Start with a Hero component to introduce your page.
2. Follow with content sections that tell your story or present your information. Such as Features or How it works.
3. End with a Footer component to provide closure and additional navigation options.

Managing Padding for Visual Consistency

Proper padding is crucial for maintaining a professional look and ensuring readability. Element UI components come with standard padding, but you may need to adjust this based on your specific layout:

Our Standard Padding Guidelines:
- Desktop: 120px top and bottom / 60px left and right
- Tablet: 80px top and bottom / 0px left and right
- Mobile: 60px top and bottom / 0px left and right

 

Why we use 0px padding left and right? Please refer to The Elementor Design System

 

Adjusting Padding for Adjacent Components:

1. Same Background Color:
If two adjacent components have the same background color (e.g. white), remove the bottom padding from the top component i.e 0px.

This maintains visual consistency while avoiding excessive white space.

 

2. Different Background Colors:
When adjacent components have different background colors:
- Keep the full padding for each component
- This maintains clear separation and ensures proper alignment and white space

Layout example (desktop):

[Component 1 - White Background]
Bottom Padding: 0px

[Component 2 - White Background]
Top Padding: 120px

[Component 3 - Colored Background]
Top Padding: 120px
Bottom Padding: 120px 

Fine-tuning Your Layout

1. Use Elementor's built-in tools to adjust spacing, alignment, and responsiveness as needed.
2. Preview your page on different devices to ensure a consistent experience across all screen sizes.
3. Pay attention to how components transition from one to another, especially when scrolling.

Best Practices

1. Maintain a consistent style throughout your page by using a cohesive design system.
2. Ensure that your content flows logically from one component to the next.
3. Use white space and padding strategically to improve readability and highlight important elements.
4. Test your layout with real content to ensure it looks good in practical application.

By following these guidelines, you'll be able to create professional, visually appealing full-page layouts using Element UI components. Remember, the key is to maintain consistency while ensuring each section of your page serves its purpose effectively.
