I don't care if we start with an off the shelf template and then make some minor modifications to it. I need to two versions, one as a template that be be deployed without business data, and the other with temporary data for an example. Based in elementor pro, using envato template is preferred. Also need to be able to massive batch uploads and add in a link to google business listing. [login to view URL] or [login to view URL] or similar.
