How to Make a Website with WordPress – 10 Tips

If you are also wondering
how to make a website with WordPress, then this guide is just for you.

🌐 Step 1: Choose a Domain Name

First of all, you have to
think of the name of your website – which we call domain name. Example:
www.apkiname.com

Tip:

• Should be short and
  memorable
• Prefer .com extension
• Should be related to brand
  or niche

I think if you are starting
blogging or business, then first write down 10 domain ideas and choose the best
one.

💰 Step 2: Take Hosting Service

Hosting is where your
website’s data is stored. WordPress works only when you have hosting.

Popular Hosti ng Providers:

• Hostinger
• Bluehost
• SiteGround

Think if you take slow hosting then your website will also run slow – hence it is important to take
reliable hosting.

⚙️ Step 3: Install WordPress

When you open the hosting
panel (like cPanel), you will find the option of “1-Click WordPress Install”.

Just click on it, set the
website name, username and password – WordPress will be installed!

I remember I was confused
the first time but everything was set in 3 minutes.

 

🎨 Step 4: Selecting the theme

The fun of WordPress is
that you can change the design of your site without coding.

Best Free Themes for
Beginners:

• Astra
• OceanWP
• Neve

To install and activate new
themes, navigate to the “Appearance > Themes” section.

 

📦 Step 5: Install Necessary Plugins

Plugins are small tools
that add extra features to the website. Like:

Plugin	Work
Yoast SEO	improve Google ranking
Elementor	Drag & Drop design
WPForms	make Contact form
UpdraftPlus	Backup & security

Tip: Install only necessary
plugins — too much can slow down the site.

Step 6: Create Pages

Every website should have
some basic pages:

• Home – Introduction
• About – About you
• Contact – Form + details
• Blog/Services – Whatever
  you are offering

You can build these pages
by clicking on “Pages > Add New” in the WordPress dashboard.

✏️ Step 7: Setting Menus

When the pages are created,
they have to be shown in the navigation menu on the top of the website.

• Go to Appearance > Menus
  and add pages.
• Set order
• Save menu

Think if the user has
difficulty browsing the website, he will not come back – so the menus should be
simple and clean.

 

📢 Step 8: Writing a blog post (Optional)

If you want to start
blogging then go to “Posts > Add New” and write a new article.

Tips:

Use heading tags correctly

Paragraphs should be short
and readable

Add internal and external
links

I think if you do regular
blogging then Google ranking improves fast.

🔒 Step 9: Security and Backup

After constructing a
website, it is also vital to defend it:

• Enable SSL Certificate
  (available free with hosting)
• Install Backup plugin
  (Updraft Plus)
• Use strong
  username/password

Bonus Tip: Make sure to
enable 2FA (two-factor authentication).

📈 Step 10: SEO and Speed Optimization

To rank a website on
Google, SEO must be done:

• Install Yoast SEO plugin
• Compress image size
• Use Caching plugin (like W3
  Total Cache)

You will notice that SEO
and fast loading site increase traffic.

💡 Real-Life Example:

One of my friends made a
WordPress website for his bakery business in just 5 days. He used Astra theme,
designed it with Elementor and installed PayPal plugin and started taking
orders online.

Imagine if you have your
own business or blog, where you are in control – how much freedom and earning
opportunity you get!
