There are two ways to build websites: one is through coding, and the other is through CMS (Content Management Systems) like WordPress and Wix, where you can build websites using themes and plugins. You can then customize these themes and plugins with drag-and-drop functionality.
To create a website on WordPress and put it online, you first need to buy a domain and hosting. There are different options available, like Hostinger, GoDaddy, etc. I bought mine from Hostinger, so I can share my personal experience. If you buy both your domain and hosting from Hostinger, you won’t need to connect them manually. You’ll find that WordPress is already installed, and all you need to do is log in to the WordPress dashboard and start building your website after installing a theme.
Create Pages:
Click on Pages, then click on Add New Page. Build the pages that you want to include on your website. We usually create pages for static content—content that we won’t update regularly, such as Home, Privacy, About Us, etc.
Create Categories:
Click on Posts, then click on Categories. In the given field, enter the name of the category, and then click on Add New Category. We usually use categories for content that we want to update regularly, such as a blog. We can add different posts to a category over time.
How to Set Your Home Page:
After creating pages and categories under ‘Settings,’ click on ‘General.’ Here, you have two options: you can set your homepage as a blog, where you can regularly post new content, or you can set it as a static page. If you choose a static page, you need to select the specific page you want as your homepage in the ‘Homepage’ field.
Create Menus:
Click on Appearance, then click on Menus. Create a menu and add the categories and pages that we created earlier.
How to Add Content to Pages:
To add content to a page, click on site view go to the specific page where you want to add content, and click on ‘Edit with Elementor.’ Here, you can add content, customize, and design your page
How to Add Content to Categories:
We can add content to categories by adding posts. To add a post, hover over ‘Posts’ and click on ‘Add New.’ After writing your post, assign it to a category.
