    Wordpress

    ● Select a WordPress plan (WordPress.com only).


    ● Set up your domain name and hosting provider.
    ● Install WordPress.
    ● Choose your theme.
    ● Add posts and pages to your website.
    ● Customize your website.
    ● Install plugins.
    ● Optimize your website to increase page speed.

    4. Choose your theme.

    You can customize your WordPress website using WordPress’ many themes
    and templates, each of which contains a multitude of layouts, formatting
    styles, colors, fonts, and other visual options.

    WordPress automatically applies a default theme that looks rather plain. You
    can keep it, but your website visitors may not be so impressed. A custom
    WordPress theme, whether it’s paid or free, will make your website look
    appealing and professional to your buyer personas.

    Similar to the wide range of hosting providers available, there are also
    hundreds of themes and templates to choose from. To help you out, we’ve put
    together a guide to 20 of our favorite themes and templates and categorized
    them by purpose. Whether you’re looking for a theme versatile enough for
    multiple different business types, or one suitable for your ecommerce site,
    portfolio, blog, or business, there’s a theme that will work for your specific
    needs. On top of your theme, you can further customize your pages with a
    builder tool like Elementor.

    To find a theme that works best for you in WordPress.org, head to your admin
    dashboard. Click Appearance, then Themes. You'll be brought to another
    screen where you can browse available themes or search for a specific one
    you have in mind.

    Once you find the perfect theme, simply install it to begin customizing. Each
    theme has different steps required during the customization process, so be
    sure to follow them closely. If a theme has a website (often accessible through
    the WordPress theme and template library), check for documentation as you
    work through the customization process.
    5. Add posts and pages to your website.

    When you add content to your WordPress website, it’s usually displayed in the
    form of posts and pages.

    Posts (or “dynamic pages”) are typically used for blogs and portfolios because
    they automatically place your newest website content at the top of your
    featured content. Pages are static, which is why they appeal more to business
    owners — the added content stays in the same place.

    Posts and pages are the main post types in WordPress. Additionally, there are
    other native post types, as well as custom post types. For now, we can just
    stick to pages and posts.

    Start by deciding whether you want a post or page to serve as the homepage
    (or any page) of your website. To add a post to your website, go to the admin
    dashboard, click Posts and then Add New.
    You can add a title for your post, place photos, change the format, and insert
    page elements via blocks and shortcodes. Click Save Draft to save your
    changes as a draft, or click Publish to immediately take the post live.

    Adding a page to your website is a similar process. In your admin area, click
    Pages, then Add New.
    First, add a title to your page. Next, you can insert photos, embed videos, and
    add content. Follow the same steps to create multiple pages for your website.
    When finished, click Save Draft or Publish.

    6. Customize your website.

    Beyond the theme you choose, there are a number of ways to further
    customize your website. Let's review a few options.

    First, let's customize your site title. From your admin dashboard, select
    Settings > General. Here, add your website title and tagline. You can also
    toggle other basic site information like you URL, email, time zone, and more.
    Next, let's customize your reading sections. Under Settings > Reading, you
    can change your home page to a static page.

    Consider this if you’re a business owner who prefers having content remain in
    one place on your website. Consider using a dynamic page if you’re a blogger
    who prefers having your newest content appear at the top of your pages. This
    way, your visitors can easily find your latest posts.

    The navigation bar is customizable, too. This enables your visitors to easily
    find information on your website.

    Add a navigation bar by going to your admin dashboard, clicking Appearance


    and then Menus.

    From here, you can determine how you want your bar to look, how many
    pages you want to include, what you want to title those pages, and what order
    you want them to be listed in.

    Of course, this is just a fraction of what you can do in the dashboard — click
    here for more information on your WordPress site settings and customization
    options.
    7. Install plugins.

    Plugins are pieces of software that add functionality to your WordPress


    website and enhance the user experience. With over 55,000 available plugins,
    there are options for most every type of website and user. Some of the most
    popular plugins available include:

    ​ HubSpot WordPress Plugin: Easily add pop-ups, forms, and live chat to
    your WordPress website. And as an added bonus, pair this plugin, or
    other CRM plugins, with your HubSpot CRM.
    ​ All in One SEO: A top-rated SEO plugin that’s used by businesses to
    improve their rankings and uncover new SEO growth opportunities.
    ​ The Events Calendar: An effortless events calendar that makes
    scheduling events from your site easy.
    ​ Yoast SEO: The go-to plugin to help you with on-page SEO. This app
    makes sure you’re following best practices before you push your site
    live.
    ​ TablePress: Need a table on your site? Look no further.
    ​ The SEO Framework: Another plugin that can help you master SEO on
    your site.

    To begin installation, head to the Plugins section in your admin dashboard.


    This shows you all the plugins currently installed on your site. Depending on
    your host, you might have several plugins installed already. Note that for a
    plugin to work you must activate it after installing.
    To add a new plugin, click Add New. Search for your desired plugin and then
    click Install Now, wait a few seconds, then click Activate.
    Get the WordPress CRM plugin that helps you organize, track, and nurture
    your leads.

    8. Optimize your website to increase page speed.

    Website performance is a critical part of the user experience. If a page takes


    too long to load, your visitors will move quickly to another site. You don't want
    to frustrate visitors with slow speeds.

    You can improve your website's performance by enabling browser caching.


    Browser caching is the process of temporarily storing your website's data on
    your visitors' browsers. That way, your content doesn't need to be sent from
    the web server for it to appear in the browser, which increases the website
    speed.

    To enable caching for your website, install and activate a caching plugin with
    the process described above.
