Setting Up Your WordPress Website
Key Topics We Will Cover:
The difference between WordPress.org and WordPress.com:
Understanding the difference between WordPress.org and WordPress.com is key to choosing the right platform for your needs. WordPress.org is a self-hosted solution, giving you full control over your website, from themes and plugins to monetization options, but it requires purchasing web hosting and managing updates. In contrast, WordPress.com offers a hosted experience with simpler setup and maintenance, making it a good option for beginners, though it comes with certain limitations on customization and monetization. This session will explore the pros and cons of each platform, helping you decide which one aligns best with your goals.
How to Set up Hosting and Install WordPress:
In this session, you'll learn the essential steps to set up hosting and install WordPress for your website. We'll walk you through selecting a reliable hosting provider, configuring your domain, and setting up your hosting account. Next, we’ll guide you through the WordPress installation process, including connecting your database and completing basic configurations. Whether you're building a blog, portfolio, or business site, this workshop will provide you with the knowledge and confidence to launch your WordPress website from scratch.
Customizing Themes, Adding Pages, and Creating Menus:
In this session, we’ll explore how to make your WordPress website truly your own by customizing themes, adding pages, and creating menus. You'll learn how to modify theme settings, personalize the design with colors and fonts, and add essential pages like Home, About, and Contact. We'll also guide you through building easy-to-navigate menus, helping your visitors find content seamlessly. Whether you want a polished portfolio, business site, or blog, this workshop will equip you with the skills to design a site that fits your style and meets your needs.
Essential Plugins for SEO, Security, and Performance:
In this session, we'll cover the must-have plugins for enhancing your WordPress website's SEO, security, and performance.
