Category: Templates | Web Design | Digital Marketing

Introduction

In today’s fast-paced digital world, organizations and businesses need quick, visually appealing, and easy-to-use templates to communicate with their audiences. At Digital Wizard, we specialize in creating customizable newsletter and website templates that save time, maintain brand consistency, and engage audiences effectively.

We leverage popular platforms like WordPress, Wix, and Elementor to design templates that are user-friendly, fully customizable, and professionally polished. In this blog, we’ll explain exactly how we do it and why these tools are ideal for anyone looking to create beautiful digital communications without a steep learning curve.

Why WordPress, Wix, and Elementor?

 WordPress

WordPress is one of the most widely used content management systems (CMS) in the world. We use it to:

  • Build flexible, scalable templates for blogs, newsletters, and websites.

  • Integrate plugins for email newsletters, SEO, analytics, and social sharing.

  • Offer clients full control over their content while keeping the design consistent.

  • Export templates that can be reused across multiple projects.

Wix

Wix is perfect for clients or users who want a fast, drag-and-drop solution:

  • We design visually striking templates that are easy to edit in Wix.

  • Wix templates allow clients to update text, images, and branding without coding.

  • Ideal for small businesses, community organizations, and educational institutions who need a quick-to-launch digital presence.

 Elementor

Elementor is a page builder plugin for WordPress that provides:

  • Drag-and-drop editing for easy customization of newsletters and landing pages.

  • Advanced design features like gradients, motion effects, and custom layouts.

  • The ability to create dynamic, reusable templates, which can save clients hours of design work.

  • Integration with WordPress ensures templates are responsive on desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Our Workflow for Creating Templates

Step 1: Planning & Research

  • Understand the client’s brand, goals, and audience.

  • Decide the type of template: newsletter, website section, or landing page.

  • Research best practices in layout, typography, and accessibility.

Step 2: Design in Canva / Elementor

  • For newsletters: We start with Canva mockups to finalize layout, color palette, fonts, and imagery.

  • For websites: We use Elementor on WordPress to create a visual, drag-and-drop template, ensuring the design is responsive and matches brand colors.

Step 3: Integration & Customization

  • WordPress: Build the template with Elementor, test all widgets, buttons, and interactive elements.

  • Wix: Recreate the design in Wix using drag-and-drop tools for clients who prefer this platform.

  • Add QR codes, call-to-action buttons, and links for newsletters or landing pages.

Step 4: Testing & Optimization

  • Test across devices: desktop, tablet, and mobile.

  • Check links, QR codes, and forms.

  • Ensure the template is easy to update and maintain.

Step 5: Delivery & Documentation

  • Provide the client with the ready-to-use template.

  • Include a step-by-step guide on editing text, images, colors, and CTAs.

  • Offer optional support for updates or customization.

Why Our Approach Works

  • Efficiency: Clients can quickly update content without a designer.

  • Consistency: Templates maintain brand identity across all newsletters and pages.

  • Accessibility: Designs follow readability, mobile-friendly, and culturally sensitive standards.

  • Scalability: Templates can be reused and adapted for multiple campaigns, events, or updates.
