In this chapter of our monthly Elementor Showoff series, we’re thrilled to spotlight La Cousine, an extraordinary website that exemplifies innovative design and intelligent use of Elementor’s features. La Cousine’s creator, Pauline Lhost, a graphic designer from Belgium, has demonstrated how one can take the Elementor toolkit and construct a unique digital experience.
The Perfect Blend of Design and Functionality
Pauline’s brainchild, La Cousine, is a vibrant showcase of her unique design sensibility and adept use of Elementor. She used Elementor’s basic toolkit to create a website that’s simple yet compelling.
An impressive feature of her website is the vertical navigation menu, inspired by her love for the aesthetic elegance of print. Pauline modeled it after a traditional table of contents, crafting it meticulously with Elementor’s theme builder, popups, hover animations, and a sprinkle of CSS magic.
Another striking aspect is the custom cursor and the smooth transition of background colors as users scroll down the page. The addition of these subtle yet interactive elements significantly enhances the user experience, creating aAnother striking aspect is the custom cursor and the smooth transition of background colors as users scroll down the page.

Pauline credits her success to the extensive resources and the supportive community surrounding Elementor. When describing her process, she explains, “There are countless resources available for Elementor. Whenever I had an idea, I would Google it, find relevant tutorials, and use them to piece together my vision, like solving a puzzle.”
Empowering Designers with Elementor
Pauline’s success story is a resounding testament to the empowering potential of Elementor. Although she doesn’t come from a developer background, she leveraged Elementor to craft a website that beautifully fuses aesthetics and functionality.
Using online tutorials as a guide, she effortlessly copied and pasted custom JavaScript and CSS to enhance the built-in capabilities of the platform. She elaborates “The native features of Elementor provide a solid foundation. I wanted a reliable, robust site, and the native features ensured that even if the special effects were removed, the website would still work flawlessly.”
Pauline’s approach proves you don’t need to be a developer to create compelling and functional websites, even if you decide to venture into using custom code.
Looking Ahead: Pauline’s Future with Elementor
The positive impact of Elementor on Pauline’s creative journey has encouraged her to incorporate it into her future projects. She appreciates the platform’s consistent updates and the supportive community, both of which have contributed to her growth as a designer. “With Elementor, I feel more confident in my ability to create amazing websites,” Pauline shares.
