Creating a site on WordPress
Creating a WordPress site is a very simple and user-friendly process. I will just take a quick overview of the main steps:
#1 Install a theme
At WordPress, there are ready-made themes available for every business and website category (blogging, education, IT, healthcare) which you can choose and personalize as per your requirements. These pre-built ready-made themes ensure that you can create your website easily without having any technical knowledge.
#2 Create a home page
Based on the kind of theme you use, you will have a basic homepage automatically set up. You can edit this homepage as per your requirements. This will be the first base page of your website on which tabs can be added for navigating to all other pages.
#3 Add more pages
You can set up as many pages of your choice as possible, like ‘About Us’, “Contact Us’, ‘Menu’ and more.
#4 Edit settings as per your requirements
Finally, you need to adjust different settings like you want comments on your posts or not, create a contact form, add more content in sidebars through widgets and a lot more can be done by searching and digging into the dashboard.
By following the steps above, you will be able to get your basic website up and running in just about an hour.
For that dream website of yours, you will need to work your way around WordPress. Don’t worry! The strength of WordPress lies in the fact that it is easily understandable by everyone – even those with no technical skills.
