Starting Up Your Own WordPress Website Is Easy

November 19, 2018 Posted by Jane Smith Editorial 1 Comment

Have you been contemplating to start a WordPress website but don’t know where to begin? We know that setting up your first WordPress website can be an uphill task, especially for beginners. This article will help you create a WordPress website for your small business, personal blog, and startup.

WordPress is regarded as the industry’s standard for building websites that are fast, functional and can be optimized for search engines. Starting your site on WordPress is one of the crucial decisions your business can make. Here are the three simple steps for creating a WordPress website as discussed below:

Step 1: Choose the Right Platform

If you want to create a functional, mobile friendly and good site quickly, you’ll require a platform (known as the content management system)

What is a Content Management System?

Well, in 2014 when I began web development, most websites were created using CSS, HTML (code) and Flash. These were hard to learn and even master. That is the reason why many people still think that building websites from scratch is impossible or requires a lot of coding. However, content management systems like WordPress has made building websites to be simple and accessible to all people.

Content management systems are user-friendly platforms for creating websites and managing your online presence instead of using many HTML pages.

Most Famous Site Building Platforms in 2018

According to a recent study, WordPress is regarded as the most popular platform for building websites followed by Joomla and Drupal.

Reasons why I Recommend Using WordPress to Build Your Website

-WordPress vs. CSS and HTML

It can take you around six months to learn HTML, let alone PHP and CSS. Having a thorough understanding of HTML can help you sort things faster, but if you want to build a website within a short time, say one or two days, learning HTML may not be a good option.

-WordPress vs. Website Builders

Website Builders are generally limited and expensive. They are ideal for one-page websites, but not more than that.

WordPress is a simple and flexible platform that is ideal for beginners. It will make your website mobile friendly and allows you to convert into an e-Commerce site to sell items.

Step 2: Get a Domain and Web Hosting

Before you set up your WordPress site, you need two things namely:

-A domain name-a website address such as yoursitename.com

-Hosting- A service that allows your site to connect to the internet.

The domain name and hosting will cost you around $5 every month. Having your domain name makes your website look professional and is more affordable.Various hosting service providers are available in the market today. Often overlooked, website hosting is a critical component that makes your website successful. Choosing the best WordPress hosting for your money can increase sales and improve your SEO.

Step 3: Set Up and Customize Your Site

Once you have purchased a domain name and hosting, you are on the right path to get your website started!

Now it’s time to get your site up and running. Installing WordPress to your domain is the first thing you need to do. Every hosting provider has included a 1-click-installation for WordPress. After installing WordPress, you will be required to select your theme, install plugins, create and post your content. It is that simple!

If you have been following keenly all the steps of building a WordPress website listed above, then you should have a functional site by now. WordPress is the most famous platforms for creating websites because it is simple, flexible and super-affordable.
