Even if you’re a complete web designbeginner and have never built any sort of website before. I guarantee that when you follow along with the videos, you’ll have a superb Wordpress website in no time. We start with the very basics. deciding on a domain name for your website so that people will be able to enter www. yourwebsitename to get to your site. I show you where to get your domain name at a discount (around $9 per year)and how to easily and quickly set it up for your site. We then move on to your web hosting. the place on the internet where your site will sit because we can’t design a great site until there’s somewhere on the internet to build it. Again though, it’s really easy and inexpensive. in fact, I show you how to get your first month of web hosting for just 1c and then ongoing, it’s less than $12 (around 8) per month. Once we have your domain name and web hosting sorted, we can now move on to the fun part. building your Wordpress website and creating an amazing web design. We use Wordpress because it’s the most versatile platform available and it allows us to build any type of website that we like. It’s also totally free, and I show you how toinstall it witha few clicks of your mouse. Once Wordpress is installed we get started with the design of your website.I show you the exact plugin that I use to create all of my great looking websites and show you how to use the pre-built sitetemplates that are included. These make it so quick and easy to create an amazing website. you simply look through some of the100+ included pre-built web designtemplates and choose the one that you like the look of most for your own website. Then, with one press of a button, the template is installed on your own Wordpresssite! You now have your own website! All that is left to do is to replace the images, wording and content in the template with your own information. And of course, I show you how to easily do that too! Just in case you don’t want to start with one of the webdesign templates and prefer to start with a clean slate, then I’ll show you how to do that too. But when you see how great the templates look, I think that you’re more likely to want to start with one of them and then customize your own site from there. Ifyou’re wondering whether your new Wordpress website will be mobile responsive, because in this day and age, we need oursites to look just as good on a mobile phone and tablet as they do on a computer, then answer is YES! With the way I’ll show you to design your site, it will automatically be mobile responsive and it’s also very easy to tweak the look of the mobile versions if you particularly wanted to. As ever, it’s all included in the videos for you. You may also be thinking. “if my site is so easy to build, does that mean it will be very basic and not include any of the ‘bells and whistles’ and gadgets that I see on other sites”?Well, you’ll be pleased to hear that there are dozens of these available to you, and adding them to your Wordpress web design is a simple 5 second, drag and drop! I explainexactly how to use each of them in the videos and just some of the functions you can add are. Images, moving text, buttons, click to Tweet buttons, content reveal boxes, countdown timers, dividers, Google Maps, icons, lead generation forms, progress bars and fill counters, social share buttons, star ratings, styled bullet-point lists, tables, tabs, testimonials, toggles, videos etc etc
