Steps to create a website that runs great:
Step- 1) Choose a specific platform like Wordpress- This is one of the first things that needs to be done. To have the best one, you have to do an in depth research of the various website platforms so that you can choose the best of the lot. In the early days, website used to be created with the help of the HTML codes but then it took a lot of time to be mastered at. But now the process is a lot easier and you can take the help of a user friendly platform to cater to the needs of your website. But make sure that the platform is a reliable one.
Why will you go for Wordpress and not any other website builder? –
- This might be your first question. Well, the first thing why you will love it is the fact that it is totally free and thus is affordable by one and all. It has a number of themes and layouts to choose from. So you will definitely want to have the tinge of individuality in the website. It is also the best for any kind of website- be it a small one or a large one. If you take the help of Wordpress, your site will remain responsive all the time and it will be able to give a 24 hour support.
- For beginners we would say it would be the best if you go for Wordpress. This is because of the fact that it is easy and the user friendly navigation system seems lucid to the novice of all.
- Now you will have to search for a domain or web host- If you have a domain of your own, then you can be sure of the fact that your website has a very professional look and more and more people can be allured towards the same. Also a website hosting service will keep the site updated in the best possible manner so that the users can get the current view.
- You can use the one step installation system for Wordpress by using Bluehost or any other and thus get it installed in your device.
- Choose the theme in a manner so that it is pleasurable to look at. You can access free themes and that is the reason why you can make the dashboard a unique one.
Step-2) Find a Domain Name as well as a host:
This is another important part of creating an amazing website. You will need two main things: A domain and a host. While a domain is a web address where all the users will go to, the host is the servicing platform that connects the site to the net.
The platform of Wordpress is absolutely free, but the domain name as well as the hosting will cost you very little- that is $3-5 per month; which is a very minimal value and would not burn a hole in your pocket in any manner. It is far more professional looking to have your own domain name than having your website on some other ones domain. Also your personal hosting will ensure the fact that your website will be loading pretty fast and will not go down anytime.
Picking the domain name:
Since you will work on a professional basis, it is important that you pick a name that is classy as well as professional looking so that your website can have a tinge of seriousness in it. Also stick to the conventional domain names ending with .com, .in, or .org instead of the weird ones and go for something else only when it describes about your website. Remember, a common name attracts more users than a complicated one. Your domain name should have three basic features in it- it should be brand able- for people to buy, memorable- so that people can remember it easily and last but not the least, catchy- so that it remains stuck to the head.
Step-3) Setting up the website and establishing it:
If you have chosen a Wordpress based platform, which is indeed a wise choice, you have to install Wordpress first and here are the steps for doing it:
• Use one click installation- If you have signed up with us, then there is no way the installation should take much time. Just a click and it’s done. You just have to log in to the hosting account, go to the control panel, place Wordpress or website icon and click on the same. You will get the ‘install now’ option and it will be done.
• Manual Installation- If one click installation is not working, then you need not worry as there is another option of manually getting it done. If your host is bad, you might face this problem, but it can be solved.
Once this is done, you just have to register and go to the dashboard section. There is a flurry of free themes to choose from there and you can choose any of them to give your website a look of elegance. After you are in the dashboard, you can go for ’appearance’, and then click on “themes”. You will get what you are looking for. Also look for themes that are ‘responsive’ so that they can look good on any device.
For installing, all you have to do is to click on ‘install’, and then ‘activate’.
Customizing your Website:
• Create content by clicking on the add post option. Once you have seen the preview and published it, you can also make changes to it with the help of the edit option.
• Static page- Make your site interesting by changing it from a drab blog post look to a static one from the ‘settings’ option. The users will definitely like the change.
• Adding and editing pages- For this, all you have to do is to look at the sidebar of the Wordpress page, and there you will find ‘pages’. Go there and click on ‘add new’. Once it’s done, you will find a screen. Fill it in the way you want and save it when done.
• Add pages to the menu- Go to sidebar>click on “appearance”> “menus”>find the page and click the checkbox and “add to menu”.
• Changing the title and tagline- I f you want to place tagline, then you have to go to “settings”> “general” >there you will get “add tagline option”. Fill it accordingly and it will be done.
How to disable a comment on post and pages?
The easy way to do this is: “settings”> “discussion”> untick on the box that says “allow people to post comments on new posts. Lo! It’s done!
How to edit a sidebar?
For this you just have to go to the sidebar and then click on “appearance”. Then go to “widgets”. From here you can manage your sidebar by dragging the elements to boxes.
Installing a Plugin:
Last but not the least; this is one step you have to do to take out the best of any Wordpress website. In order to do that, you have to go to “Plugins- add new” and you can begin searching. There are about 25,000 different plugins to choose from, and the installation is a single click process as well! Some of the popular plugins are ‘contact form’, ‘Yoast SEO’ and Google Analytics.
Great! Now you can successfully launch your first website. If you have taken care to abide by all the guidelines in the best possible manner, there is no way in which you could go wrong. Whatever you are doing, make sure that you are always improving your website. Remember, nothing is perfect and there is always a chance of getting better.
Good luck with your website launching! We hope we could be of some help to you!
