A WordPress redesign that starts with your home page

What stays the same, and what can change

The work happens inside your WordPress dashboard, so your hosting account, domain and billing stay put. Your other pages keep their addresses too: WordPress calls them permalinks, and the structure behind them changes only when someone saves a new one in Settings > Permalinks.

Settings > Reading stays unchanged. It decides which page is your home page and holds the search engine visibility box, which asks search engines not to index the site when it’s ticked. Any title and description an SEO plugin sets for the home page stay unchanged unless you ask.

Some changes reach every page. Elementor’s Site Settings hold the global colors and fonts used across the site, and one Theme Builder header usually serves every page, so changing either changes them all.

Switching themes is the biggest change: only one theme can be active, and activating one applies its look and behavior to the whole site. A home page rebuild doesn’t need it.

How you give us access, without your password

You add us as a user with our own login, so your password stays yours. WordPress does this from the Add New User screen.

1. In your dashboard, go to Users and choose Add New User.
2. Enter a username, and yaz@katsa.co as the email.
3. Choose a role, then click Add New User.

Which role: an Editor can publish and edit any page, including other people’s. Menus, the Site Editor, theme settings, plugins and site settings need capabilities only Administrators have by default, so if your header or menu needs work, Administrator is the role that allows it.

On an Elementor site, check its Role Manager too, since it can keep a role out of the editor or limit it to existing content. Once the page is live, delete our user on the Users screen; WordPress asks who should get any content that user created.

How to undo it

WordPress keeps revisions, a record of each saved draft or published update, with a Restore button. They track a page’s title, author, content and excerpt, and a site can cap them or turn them off with the WP_POST_REVISIONS setting.

Elementor adds its own History panel: the Revisions tab lists every saved or published version of a page, and picking one reverts the page to it.

Revisions don’t cover theme settings, menus or plugins, so a backup is the fuller undo. WordPress’s backup guide says a full restore needs both the database and the files, and that most hosts back up the server or offer their own backup tools.

What matters for a builder’s home page on WordPress

• Elementor edits run top-down. A change made in desktop view carries to tablet and mobile, a change made in mobile view stays on mobile, and Elementor treats screens under 767px as mobile by default.
• Caching can hide a new page. If changes don’t show on the live site, Elementor’s fix is Elementor > Tools > Clear Files & Data, then clearing the server cache, any caching plugin and your browser.
• WordPress shows your latest posts on the home page by default. A static front page, chosen under Settings > Reading, is what makes the home page a page you design.
• Your phone number belongs in the header as a tap-to-call link. The tap-to-call page shows how to set it up on WordPress.

What we found on WordPress builder sites

In Katsa’s review of 171 builder and remodeler websites, read on October 30, 2026, 82 of the sites ran on WordPress. Both numbers below come from the footer, one of the five parts this rebuild covers.
