How to Make a WordPress Website
WordPress started as just a blogging system, but has evolved to be used as full content management system and so much more through the thousands of plugins and widgets and themes, WordPress is limited only by your imagination. (And technical ability.)
WordPress is Free to Use.
WordPress is a completely free software, this means you can download, install, use and modify it to your hearts desire. You can create any kind of website. It is also open source which means the source code of the software is available for any one to study, modify and play with.
There are currently over 2600 WordPress themes and 31,000+ plugins available for free. You can download, install and use them on any website.
To run WordPress, all you need is a domain and web hosting.
Quality Affordable Web Hosting.
For simple “one click installation” of WordPress we recommend using Vodahost for your web hosting. Vodahost is a quality, affordable web hosting service and you get a FREE domain when you set up a new account. Once you have a domain and hosting set up you are ready to go!
The 5 Basic Steps on How to Make a WordPress Website.
1. Outline your website’s content.
Before you start, take the time to plan out the critical pieces of your site, like the important information and the pages you want to include.
2. Create content pages.
Add the basic pages you have planned out, inserting any content and images you have. (You can edit or add more later if needed!) Be sure to create one page to be your website’s home page, and one blank page for your blog; you’ll need those in the next step.
3. Configure your site to use a static home page.
A new wordpress.com website defaults to a “blog” view. You will probably want to change the settings to create a regular home page instead, using the home page you just made.
4. Pick out the perfect theme.
Now that you have your website’s basic layout and content in place, it’s time to pick out the perfect theme. It may sound backward, but having all the pieces of your website set up first will make it easier to see whether a theme works for you.
5. Create a menu.
Finally, create a menu of all your new pages so visitors can navigate your site easily.
There is so much more you’ll want to do to customize and personalize your website, but you’re off to a great start! Continue adding relevant content, add your logo or branding, connect your site to your social media presence, and more.
