The Way to Build a WordPress Website In 7 Simple Steps

By Peter Lawlor


How does one eat an elephant? (A huge ELEPHANT?!?) The correct answer is, "Ya eat it one bite at a time!" It's the same with any large task, really. When you look at the whole thing at one time, it appears to be impossible. Once you organize it into steps, stages, logical pieces, then you can see how to get it done, bit by bit. The steps will be smaller. They'll each be easy enough and "do-able". And once you have completed each one of the steps, you suddenly realize you have come right from the beginning to the end of completing the whole huge project! It is the same way with how to build a wordpress website. Here's 7 simple steps which you can take to building a wordpress website, rapidly!

Step 1. Do keyword research for your website. For this you will need to determine which keyword or keywords you wish to target. In the event you neglect this or don't do it, you should expect to not rank for any particular keyword in the search engines.

Step 2. Get a website hosting account. This step is important because you need a hosting service on which to host your new website ).

Step 3. Register a domain name. This means that you've done your keyword research. It will also signify that you have done some keyword research for your website.

Step 4. Install WordPress. This may involve very little know-how. Great hosting services make this easy with practically one-click WordPress installation.

Step 5. Choose a WordPress theme. A significant point to bear in mind here is deciding whether to go with a free or premium WordPress theme. The reason why this is important is choosing the right theme early in the process will save you time changing themes down the road.

Step 6. Customize your theme. You'll want to add your own header or logo and perhaps even tweak the website layout.

Step 7. Write content for your new website. You are now almost there! Remember, Write some great content, either a static page for your home page or a series of excellent posts.

When you continue with the steps set forth above, step-by-step the massive elephant-challenge you used to be facing is going to be "consumed", conquered and finished off. You'll complete your project, succeed and then take pleasure in the benefits and fruits of accomplishment and victory! Congratulations for your triumph! You undertook an enormous challenge, overcame it and won, taking 1 step at a time!
