Tutorial Introduction
Hello, I’m Dario, and in this tutorial for beginners, I will teach you how to create your own website on WordPress in 20 simple steps. Good fun! Here is a brief overview of what you can expect in this tutorial. We will start by getting a domain and web hosting, then we will install WordPress with just a click. We will also make some basic settings for the website and start adding our first home page. We will use the Elementor page builder to make creating websites extremely easy – all you have to do is drag and drop, select, and copy and paste a little. Then we can also insert text in the pages, select it from the left side, drag it, and regulate according to your needs.
Step 1: Getting a Domain and Web Hosting
Before starting, I should explain what is needed to have a website on the internet. We need three things: a domain, a web hosting, and WordPress. A domain is simply the name of our website, such as Facebook or Google. A web hosting is like a super fast computer with a fast internet connection that runs 24/7 and stores all the information of our website, such as images, icons, and text. We will need one of these hosting companies, which can cost from 5 to 15 euros per month. In this tutorial, we will use SiteGround, which I recommend highly. It’s very fast, and the customer support is available 24/7. They also, so even if you have a problem, you can call them, and they will help you immediately. And the best part? You can try it out for 30 days with no risk. If you’re a beginner, I think it’s the best option for you.
Step 2: Choosing the Web Hosting Plan
We are now going to choose the web hosting plan. As a beginner, I would recommend choosing the "Start Up" plan. If you are planning to create multiple websites, I would recommend the "Grow Big" plan. You can choose the plan by clicking on the "Compare Plans" link on the website. Here is the description of each plan. The Start Up plan allows you to host only one website, while the Grow Big plan allows you to host multiple websites. Both plans are pretty fast.
Step 3: Registering the Domain
We are now going to register our domain. If you already have a domain, you can click on "Already a Domain" and enter the domain name and follow the instructions. If you don’t have a domain, we can register one. First, we need to choose the domain name that we want to use for our website. Here are the options: ".com", ".it", ".net", and many others. Let’s try to register a domain with a ".com" extension. If the domain name is already taken, you can try another one. You can also use the Domain Wizard tool on the website to find available domain names.
Step 4: Filling in the Registration Form
Now, we need to fill in the registration form. This form will ask for some information about yourself, such as your email address, password, name, and address. We need to be careful with our passwords and make sure they are secure.
Step 5: Completing the Payment
After we fill in the registration form, we will be asked to complete the payment. You can use your credit card or PayPal to make the payment. If you have any questions about the payment process, you can check the website or contact the customer support.
Step 6: Installing WordPress
We are now going to install WordPress on our website. WordPress is a free and open-source content management system that allows us to create websites without having to write any code. It’s very easy to use, even for beginners.
Step 7: Installing Elementor
We are now going to install Elementor, which is a page builder plugin that allows us to create professional-looking websites without having to write any code.
Step 8: Setting up the Homepage
We are now going to set up the homepage of our website. Here are the steps: create a new page, choose a template, customize it, and publish it.
Step 9: Creating the Navigation
Now, we need to create the navigation for our website. This is where we will be able to access all the different pages of our website.
Step 10: Creating the Footer
Now, we need to create the footer of our website. The footer is the part of the website at the bottom of each page.
And so on…
This tutorial is now over. I hope you found it helpful and that you are able to create a website with ease. Remember to have fun and experiment with different options.
