Page Section, Row, Shortcode. Rinse & Repeat

Of course Artbees Themes has created a playground of sorts for you to let your creative prowess take off and build your website. There are, however, a few ground rules regarding shortcodes and how to use them that our Theme experts would like to share in the hopes of making your website creation process more fruitful for you.

Simply put, when building your website from scratch without a pre-existing template, repeating these three steps will help you immediately start organizing and shaping the layout of your content. First, add your page section and then within that page section add a Row which you can edit to be broken up as you’d like (two, three or four columns, etc.) and then insert your shortcode (i.e. Fancy Title, Icon Boxes, etc.). If you do this for each section of your page, you’ll find that the end result is much cleaner and easier for you to add content to and edit.

We hope the examples set forth by your fellow Artbees Themes peers will inspire and expand your vision for what’s possible to create using your Artbees theme. Keep our most commonly used shortcodes and tips in mind and you’ll have a functional, beautiful and impressive site before your eyes in no time!
