Here are some commonly used terms you should know when it comes to your website.
- WordPress: A content management system (CMS) that allows users to create, manage, and publish websites and blogs easily. It is known for its user-friendly interface, flexibility, and is what your website is built on.
- Elementor: WordPress plugin that enables users to build custom web pages and websites using a drag-and-drop editor. It allows both beginners and advanced users to create visually appealing and responsive designs without needing to know how to code. This is what is used to edit your website.
- Widgets: In Elementor, widgets, also referred to as an 'element', are the basic building blocks used to add content and functionality to your pages. Examples include text boxes, image galleries, buttons, forms, and more. Each widget can be customized in terms of design and behavior.
- Sections: Sections are the largest building blocks in Elementor, used to organize your content horizontally. A section can contain multiple columns and widgets. You can adjust the section’s width, background, padding, and other settings.
- Columns: Columns are sub-divisions within sections, used to organize widgets vertically or in a grid. Each section can have one or more columns, and you can control the column layout, spacing, and alignment.
- Responsive Mode: A feature you'll see once you click Edit with Elementor on a page. It allows you to design and customize your website's layout and content specifically for different device types—desktop, tablet, and mobile. This mode helps ensure that your website looks and functions well across all devices. We recommend testing changes you make by making sure this option is turned on when editing your website.
- Dynamic Content: Dynamic content refers to content that is pulled from your WordPress database and displayed on your site. This can include post titles, images, author names, and custom fields.
- Z-Index: The Z-Index property in Elementor controls the stacking order of elements. Elements with a higher Z-Index value will appear in front of those with lower values, allowing you to control which elements overlap others.
- Padding & Margin: Padding is the space inside an element, between the element’s content and its border, while margin is the space outside an element, between the element and other elements. These settings are crucial for spacing and layout design in Elementor.

If you'd like this information, you will need to set up a Google Analytics account and set up tracking (scroll down to the Plugins, SEO, and Website Analytics section to learn more).
Our websites come with stock content by default, unless you provided our team with content you'd like us to use on your Website Submission Form.
This content is broad to be inclusive to all of our customers and their products, but is not optimized to your local market or specific business.
We recommend that you optimize your content yourself to target your local market with the help of Rank Math SEO (scroll to Plugins, SEO, and Website Analytics section to learn more).
Caching is a technique used by websites to store and save frequently used data temporarily so that it can be quickly accessed without having to be reloaded or recalculated. This helps websites load faster, providing a better experience for visitors.
When changes are made to a website, sometimes the cached (or saved) version of the site is still being displayed instead of the updated version. This can result in visitors seeing an older version of the site or unexpected changes.
Giving the cache time to catch up ensures that the most recent version of the site is displayed, reflecting all the latest updates and changes made.

If you have a specific plugin in mind that you believe would enhance your website's functionality, please let our Docket Customer Marketing team know. We may already have suitable solutions in place that we can recommend to you.

If our team goes to launch your website and you do have Online Booking set up: All of your website's Book Now buttons will link to the DocketShop integration.
DocketShop is added to the back-end of your website through a website script.
To get DocketShop added to your website, please let our Support Team, your Implementation Specialist, or our Docket Customer Marketing team know you're ready to add DocketShop to your website (or get it removed), and we can do this for you.
To view analytics from DocketShop, you will need to be on our Premium Plan (you can reach out to your Account Executive or our Support Team if you'd like to upgrade).
Once you are on our Premium Plan, you'll have two options to view insights into how your customers are using DocketShop:
Docket – Insights/Sessions
- You will be able to see how your customers are booking your products, including when they start (adding their address for service look up), if they abandon the session, when they come back, and more.
- To find this information, login to your Docket account, go to Online Booking, then click on Insights/Sessions in the left menu.
Google Analytics Tracking (Added to Docket)
- Docket allows Premium Plan customers to add Google Analytics tracking to their Online Booking. With this, you'll be able to login to your Google Analytics account and see insights into which products are most popular, and other eCommerce data.
- To set this up, login to your Docket account, go to Online Booking, click Developer/Website Scripts in the left menu, and add your GA Measurement ID under Google Analytics Measurement ID (GA4). You'll then need to let our team know to update the script on your website.
Yes.
If you ever change any of the Book Now buttons your website and you have DocketShop added to your website, you'll need to add the new text as a token in Online Booking.
Here's how to make sure you do this correctly:
- Login to Docket
- Go to Online Booking
- Click Developer/Website Scripts
- Under Website Elements, you'll need to add the new text to the second line of text that says Webpage Phrases.
- Example is if you change buttons on your website to say Order Dumpster, you'll add a comma after the last phrase you see in this space, and then Order Dumpster
- Let our Support Team or Docket Customer Marketing Team know you need your DocketShop script updated on your website.
