 * First of all, your website has a defective or faulty SSL certificate. You should
   first clarify this with your hoster if necessary.
 * For this reason I could not access your site to see what you mean. You talk about
   using Elementor. I would recommend you to contact their support (if the SSL is
   working again on your site): [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/)

 * All I see on the address you gave (after bypassing the security warning) is:
 * > “Please stand by while configuration is in progress.”
 * I don’t see any sign of a WordPress installation at all.
 * If you have indeed installed WordPress, I’ll recommend you get in touch with 
   your website hosting provider to get the domain pointed to the correct folder
   where WordPress is installed.

 * Ok, digging deeper, I can see you have the WordPress site installed and even 
   SSL configured at the root domain (ie without the `www`), but you’re not redirecting
   the **www** subdomain to the same site.
 * So this works: [https://example.com/](https://example.com/)
 * But this doesn’t: [https://www.example.com/](https://www.example.com/)
 * You need to configure your webserver to redirect `www` to the root domain.

 * You’ll need to contact your host for help with this, as every host’s environment
   is different.

 * 1) Go to **SETTINGS => READING**
 * 2) Under **“Your homepage displays”**, select **“A static page”**
 * 3) Click the drop-down menu next to **“Homepage”**, select your homepage from
   there, and save changes.
 * 4) Optionally, under **“Posts Page”**, you may select any page to display your
   latest blog posts on. Note that any content you’ve added to this page in the 
   editor will be ignored completely once you select it to display your latest blog
   posts (unless your theme is doing something fancy with this setting)
 * Good luck!
