3. Should you put background videos everywhere for a modern effect?

Yes, it's always a plus Yes, if the hosting is free No: it's heavy (performance/mobile), to reserve for strong sections No: videos are forbidden by Elementor

Visible, outside any widget (tabs/accordion hide content) In a collapsed accordion to declutter the page In a secondary tab In an auto-scrolling carousel

8. The client will surely hesitate about their color. What does Nadia do from the start?

She hard-codes the color on each element She avoids colors She waits for the final decision before building anything She defines the color globally and applies it everywhere

Nothing, it's ready Customize it (style guide + real content) Duplicate it to fill the page Delete it and start over by hand

2.4 · Arbitration

11. Nadia often redoes the same banner. What to do to save time lastingly?

Recopy it manually on every project Avoid using banners Save it as a reusable template Wait for an equivalent official block

Saving your own sections as templates lets you reuse them within the site or export them to other projects.

14. The home page is perfect on desktop. Can you ignore the mobile menu?

Yes, desktop is enough No: you must test the hamburger menu and the anchors on mobile Yes, if the menu is pretty No: you must first buy Pro

On mobile, the menu often folds into a hamburger: you test that it opens, that the anchors work and that the targets are big enough.

2.1 · Application

15. What is an "overlay" for?

To remove the background image To animate the page on scroll To place a semi-transparent layer for text readability To create an anchor menu
