Creating a personal website or an eCommerce site is remarkably easy to set up on a WordPress content management platform (CMS).

• Install WordPress & choose your theme.
• Learn WordPress Dashboard & pick your WordPress plugins.
• Customize website.

themes.

 

Step 4: Learn Your WordPress Dashboard

 

Now that you are ready to start working, you should find yourself on the Dashboard, or the back-end, for your new website. This is the service area that allows you to control what your website visitors will see when they land on your pages.

Step 5: Customize Themes and Pages

Let the fun begin! You are ready to start fine-tuning your site with your color choices, font styles, and special elements that will help you express your company culture or personality. You can dive right in and write your first post, but it’s beneficial to get to know the features and functionality of your site first.

 On the left-hand sidebar, you’ll find navigation links that allow you to customize your site. The best way to get to know your way around is to click on each tab and explore the options.

• Browse the themes; there are paid and free options available.
• Customize your theme with colors, headers, and social media buttons.
• Upload photos to inspire your site visitors and add clues about your values and services.
