FROM THE LAB

Hands-on experiments with AI, agents, automation and the tools I’m actually using.

LAB

Building DEVKEV with Elementor Atomic, ACF and AI

An overview of how technologies came together for DEVKEV

WHAT I TESTED

Building a real WordPress site using Elementor’s Atomic system, reusable classes, ACF fields and dynamic Loops rather than relying on a conventional static Elementor build.

VERDICT

Atomic feels more structured than traditional Elementor and should scale better for DEVKEV. The biggest lesson so far is to treat blank styling values carefully and explicitly set values such as spacing to zero where no spacing is intende



CURRENTLY TESTING
