Planning and Setup

Install WordPress

There are several ways to install WordPress, depending on your hosting provider. Many offers one-click installations.

Select a Theme

A theme controls your website's overall design and layout. Choose a theme that aligns with your website's purpose and brand identity. WordPress offers free and premium themes.

Add Content

• Create essential pages like "Home," "About Us," "Contact," etc. Fill them with informative and engaging content.

• You can also add blog posts if your website has a blog section.

Install Plugins

Customization

• Many themes offer customization options through a theme customizer. You can adjust colors, fonts, layouts, and more to personalize your website's look and feel.

• For advanced customization, you might need to edit theme files directly using code (HTML, CSS, PHP).

Launch and Testing

• Once you're satisfied with your website's design and content, launch it to the public by making it live on your domain name

• Thoroughly test your website for functionality, responsiveness across different devices, and broken links.

Security and Maintenance
