custom website in under 30 minutes
without having to touch a single line of
code no matter if you want to start a
blog or even create a whole online
business your own website is one of the
best investments you can make today and
to our luck the process is easier than
ever before in this video I'll show you
everything step-by-step so that you can
start your beautiful website today have
fun
I created this free workshop so that you
can build your first WordPress website
easy and professionally I'm Tim and I'm
active in online marketing since a few
years if you take a look at my channel
you'll also see that I was able to help
thousands and thousands of viewers to
build their first websites and this is
also what I'm trying to do for you
before we start with the step-by-step
tutorial I'll just show you some
examples of how you could use your
website to your advantage
first of all web sites are extremely
versatile
you could start a blog to share your
experiences ideas and thoughts you could
also create a personal branding page or
port for you to get the dream job that
you always wanted you could build out
your business website to gain more
customers and you could also create an
whole online store that will generate a
passive income every single month and
second of all building your website is
so easy and cheap in today's day and age
that you can find a real reason to not
do it if you ask yourself how you can
build a website without having to touch
a single line of code the metrical
answer is a platform named pro press
you've probably heard of word press
before but I'm just going to give you
some brief details about it
word press is known as a content
management system or CMS basically raw
press is a platform with which you can
build your website using different
designs so-called themes and plugins
this way you can practically build and
design your website the way you imagine
it and you don't have to touch the
single line of code WordPress makes
building websites easy and even a little
fun just as a side note over 30% of all
web sites on the Internet are built
using WordPress
a few of the companies and celebrities
using WordPress include ariana grande
Alanis Morrissette ellajay cool Snoop
Dogg user bold and many many more so now
that we are ready to build our first
website I'll give you a short list of
things that we'll need to build our
website first we'll need a domain name
this is simply the name of your website
for example Facebook's domain is
facebook.com YouTube's domain is
youtube.com and my domain is two methods
dotnet domain names are usually paid in
annual installments and are pretty cheap
with around fifteen bucks per year
second you'll need to buy web hosting
riches where you pay a company to use
their servers so you can saw your
website's data online and have your
website live on the Internet
web hosting is advertised at a monthly
price of about four to fifteen bucks
what is also usually paid in annual
installments so instead of paying every
single month you pay once for one for a
year and the last thing we'll need is a
copy of WordPress which is totally free
from wordpress.org now there is also
wordpress.com we want wordpress.org
because it offers the free open-source
version of the WordPress platform with
which we can design and create a page
the way that we want to work restore
come a sort of a lite version that is
much more limited in its functionality
so just remember don't use repressed or
calm with only these three things you'll
be able to build your website and now
comes the best part
in the past you would have to get all of
those separately and then connect them
all together now the process got a lot
more beginner friendly and all you
really have to do is getting web hosting
and the domain and WordPress will
automatically be included it couldn't
get much easier than this and now we go
into the real step-by-step tutorial from
getting reposting to installing
WordPress and customizing your site if
you need help with any step along the
way ask your question in the comments
and I give my best to help you out I
answer to every single comment so don't
be shy the first step or should I say
only step is choosing the right
in this video I'm going to use cycloned
for multiple reasons first off it's my
go to Xhosa which I've been using for a
few years now currently I'm using it for
nine out of my 11 own projects and
because cyclones in my experience has a
lot of advantages in comparison to other
horses the main reason why I chose a
grande when I first started was that the
official WordPress website recommends a
grande as the web host for WordPress
they are also very beginner friendly
because they have a great customer
support and the simple interface plus a
one-click WordPress install there are
multiple more reasons where I would
recommend second like the speed safety
uptime etc but this video shouldn't be a
web hosting advertisement I will link my
whole cyclone review in the comments so
if you want to take a look into that
check it out and convince yourself you
can also do some more research and find
a good report that fits your needs and
in case you choose another web host or
already have a web host that's no
problem at all you can still follow this
tutorial all you have to do is skip the
signup process and the WordPress
installation figure it out for your web
host and then you can still follow this
tutorial let's start with the first step
to your successful website by clicking
the very first link in the video
description now why do I want you to
click that link and not go to a cyclone
directly there's two great reasons the
first reason is that working with SAC
round because of that you will get a 60
or 70 percent discount it just depends
on what promotion they are currently
running and the second reason is that
this race icons recognizes that I sent
you and I get another Commission in
return now this is at no extra cost for
you
cyclone pays for all that but it just
helps me creating these free tutorials
that I do in my spare time next to
university so if you decide on cycloned
I would really appreciate if you use
that link it's a win-win situation and
if not that's also no problem at all so
I'll just click on this link and then I
get redirected to this page as you can
see here once again wordpress.org
recommends cyclones as a repost and a
free scroll down here we can decide
between eco geek grow big and set up
if you want to create an online shop or
online business I would recommend using
the go geek plan as you can see here it
has a lot of premium features which are
I wouldn't say necessary but very
helpful when having an online business
you can look into them when you're on
the page and see for yourself rather the
go get plan would be necessary but if
you ever looked at to having an online
store or ever had one you will probably
know that the extra five bucks aren't
that much for example for Shopify
I paid $29 per month so if you're making
money with your website you get the
money back pretty quickly but if you
simply want to create a website I would
recommend choosing either the grow big
or sell a plan I obviously want to keep
this part of the video relatively short
because there shouldn't be a cyclone or
reprocessing advertisement but reposing
is the foundation for your website so
that's why I cannot go into detail here
the main difference between the Quebec
and the salaah plan is the amount of
websites you can host where the grow big
plan you can host unlimited websites so
that means as many domains and websites
as you want with the Estela plan you can
host one website so in case you already
know that you're going to have multiple
websites then I would recommend using
the equal big account because you have
all your websites and all your domains
in one account which is one cheaper and
two easier to handle in addition to that
the grow big account has some premium
features in comparison to the static
account for example dear pistou / Ke$ha
riches basically is software that allows
the browser to save some data and make
your website load faster and you also
have some other space so your website is
going to be even a little faster than
this dollar plan this other plan is
still very fast you can also google it
and check out some statistics cyclones
rinse most of the time in this price
range but like I said in the Quebec and
go get plan your website is even a
little faster there are also two more
features that I liked a lot in the
Quebec account the first being that you
have a priority technical support so
especially as a beginner if you have any
questions you can just shut them up 24/7
and they will help you out and the
second point that I
especially if you already maybe have a
web hosting account which you are not
happy with there's a free repressed
friends fear so if you have a web host
that you don't like or you already have
a WordPress website they will transfer
your website from there to cycloned
which can save you a lot of time and a
lot of headaches now that doesn't mean
that this data plan is bad at all
I would definitely recommend that you go
onto this page compare the different
plans and then see for yourself which
one makes the most sense I personally
use the grow big account because I have
multiple projects on cyclones but in
this case I will actually click on the
startup account because I'm just buying
this one for the tutorial and later on I
will cancel so I click on get plan in
this step you can choose your domain in
case you haven't brought the domain
already you can go to register a new
domain and then type it in here maybe
you have to get a little creative
because a lot of domains are already
taken so maybe you have to change it up
a little bit you can also change the
domain extension on the right-hand side
but I would stay with the most popular
ones so the comment or code or net org
or your country's extension and in case
you already have a domain you can choose
this checkbox and then fill it in here
and I will link a video on how to
connect your domain to cyclones in the
video description and probably also in
the info box for this tutorial I'm going
to bio domain so I click on register and
your domain
choose the domain I want and by the way
I would also recommend buying your
domain at cyclone because it saves a lot
of trouble and it's very easier so then
I click on proceed here you simply have
to fill in your account information so
you have to choose your email password
and confirm your password for this and
for you will later on login to your
cyclone account and then you have to add
some information about you so your
country first name last name in case you
have a company and the vet you can fill
it in here then you have city street
address zip code and phone number and
down here is the payment information
there you simply your credit card
information in case you don't have a
credit card and want to pay by a paper
you can also do that just scroll up
with the support and they will do it for
you so after you filled in your payment
information we can check our purchase
information so plan is the startup plan
that's right in case you want to choose
another one you can click on the symbol
on the right and choose one of these
three then there is the data center
there you can simply decide where you
want your service to be located sacré
knows that I'm located in Germany that's
why they chose Amsterdam but you can
choose another one by going on this
symbol on the right side and then choose
one of these other options that's
actually pretty cool because a lot of
times you don't really know where your
servers are located and in this case you
know and you can even decide then you
can decide what payment period you want
to have I always choose 12 months but
you could also choose 24 36 this way you
will save some money and if you already
know that you're going to use your
website for a longer time why not do
that whatever just not recommend is
choosing the one-month trial because you
have a 30 day money-back guarantee
anyways so I would rather use that than
any one month try I will just choose 12
months and then we can scroll down a
little bit here we can see again domain
registration astrov 95 I would not
recommend using the SG site scanner
because that's not really necessary you
can use plugins for that and then
there's the end price and if we scroll
down a little bit we can check the first
checkbox saying that we confirm to the
Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
which we obviously read it like we
always do and if you want to get
advertisements from cyclones you can
also check the second checkbox which I'm
not going to do now but what I'm going
to do is scroll up fill it in my own
information and then I click on Pay Now
now your account is getting set up and
when you see this page you can click on
proceed to custom area then this page
will probably appear in case you want to
transfer your site you can click on
transfer our website but otherwise I
will click on toad need help now we also
don't want the ESG site scanner so make
sure that this is unchecked and then you
can click on confirm and after we click
on confirm we have to click on this
check box saying that we confirm to the
Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and
then we
on complete setup and now we are locked
in to our second account congratulations
after you signed up for sack road you
should also check your email you will
probably receive three emails one of
them requires a confirmation for the
domain so go on there and click the link
that is in the email now that we are
locked into cyclones we can actually
start and begin installing wrappers in
order to do that click on my accounts
then click on go to cPanel and on
proceed and then you can simply click on
WordPress and here you can click on the
blue install button in this software
setup our first point is to choose a
protocol as you can see here it's set to
HTTPS if we look up here for example
it's also HTTPS and there's a lock right
next to the domain that means that your
domain has installed an SSL certificate
which is really important for the safety
of your website and Google will block
your site if you don't have an SSL
certificate so what I would do is check
here if it's set to HTTPS if it isn't
and this is very important you need to
have HTTPS in here what I will do is
link a tutorial on how to install an SSL
certificate on your domain with sycron a
lot of times it's already installed but
sometimes it isn't so if it
automatically sets HTTPS perfect you can
continue and otherwise watch the video
which I linked in the description
comments and probably also in the info
box check that out and then we continue
here but since I've got an SSL
certificate we can also continue here we
can choose the domain we want to install
WordPress on it's set to my domain
that's right
directory we leave that blank site name
you can change it in here you also don't
have to do that now we can also change
that later on in our WordPress dashboard
but if you want to you can already
change the site name and site
description then make sure that this
checkbox is unchecked and then we can go
to the admin account here you can either
keep the admin login data so your admin
user
and admin password or you can change it
up whatever just do then is not using
the word admin itself as we admin
username because it will make hacking
your website a lot easier and the admin
password should obviously also be set to
strong so make sure that this is right
then there's the admin email I will just
change that to your personal email just
for now later on we can change that too
and you can also create business emails
with sycron so for example at man at
your domain cum info at your domain go
calm and whatever else this is pretty
easy inside grande then we can choose
your language here you can simply decide
what language you want to install
WordPress on I would just choose English
now but as you can see you have got a
pretty big selection we don't need these
plugins and we also don't want the
repressed Allah so I uncheck that box
and then I click on Install Now
WordPress is installing this may take a
few minutes and by the way this is an
very important point if you just signed
up as a ground and just cut your domain
it may be possible that you install
WordPress but if you visit your site it
won't automatically work if that's the
case that's no problem at all that's
perfectly normal
that's just you through your domain
getting registered and that takes a few
hours so I would recommend just looking
into that after like four to five hours
and if it still doesn't work then just
write me a comment and I will help you
out so WordPress is now installed and as
you can see here that's our URL and
that's our administrative URL we can
just open that up
and congratulations we are in our
wordpress dashboard if you ever want to
come back in here all you have to do is
open up your domain / WP - admin and
then you simply have to log in with your
admin data that we just set up we can
actually close this window your admin
data will also be sent to your in an
email and then I would just clear that
up a little bit so I just go on these
little arrows click on dismiss and now
it looks like Lena so the first thing
you see each time after logging into
WordPress is the dashboard this page
just summarizes your website and also
includes the latest updates and news
from WordPress at the top we had the
admin bar which we won't use too often
except to view our website by hovering
over the name and clicking on visit site
now the sidebar the left is going to be
your main navigation for customizing our
website and its appearance
adding separate web pages and blog posts
and changing our account settings I'm
going to start by showing you some minor
account settings which I think are
really important go through users your
profile as you can see here your display
name publicly ass is set to yv e IQ or
whatever else this is basically your
admin login data as you can see here -
so what I would recommend is changing
your nickname for example to your
personal name and then choosing display
name your personal name and updating the
profile this basically makes a website a
lot safer here you could also change
your admin email once again that's all
we have to do in here then we can go to
settings and general
you could add your site title and
tagline if you haven't done it in your
installation before I already did it so
I don't have to change anything but you
could do it if you want to then there's
the WordPress address inside address in
case you run your website to have www
dot in front of your domain so it would
be W wwwp tutorial 2.0 instead of just
our up-2 target 2:30 you okay I chose a
not so easy domain but basically if you
want www in front of your domain you can
do it in here all you have to do for
that is go into WordPress address and
after the second slash you have to fill
in www dot and you have to do the same
thing at site address so www it's really
important that you don't change anything
else don't change up the URL no
uppercases nothing else and it has to be
exactly after the second slash because
if you change something else you will
crash your website and then you would
have to uninstall and install WordPress
once again and we don't want that so
make sure that this is right and then
you could save the changes then you will
have to login once again and
everything's saved I would just undo
that and since I didn't change anything
in here I don't have to go to Save
Changes then we can go through
permalinks
here we have to choose post name this is
better for SEO then we click on Save
Changes and these were already some of
the settings we'll have to do then we
can really start going into the design
and customization in order to do that
hover over appearance and then click on
themes themes determine the overall look
of your website from layout to color
scheme to fonts and more WordPress does
come with some free default themes so if
you click into live preview you can see
how your website would look like with
each theme now the beauty of WordPress
is that there are thousands of other
themes you can choose from to really
spice up your website and make it unique
to add a new theme click on add new to
be taken to a page where you can browse
and search for virtually any theme you
can think of some themes are free some
may have a small one-time cost and
others are freemium which means you can
use a limited version of the theme for
free so go ahead and choose a theme you
like and then click install if you'd
like to use the theme featured in the
intro of this video search for ocean WP
in the search bar if you found it click
on install and after the installation
click on activate to make it your
current theme to see how our website
would look like hover over your
website's name on the admin bar up top
and then click visit site you can
customize the theme by going back into
the dashboard and choosing customize
from the appearance section
here you can really make reps of unique
biding a logo or header image at the top
and also changing your site title and
tagline now there's a ton of other
settings but in each theme those
settings are different most of them are
really self-explaining so I would
suggest just going through them testing
them out and keeping those that you like
as you can see the default homepage
shows the sample post this is known as a
block front page every time you create a
new blog post this front page will
automatically update with your latest
posts at the top so if your website is
mainly going to be a block then you're
pretty much set already at this point
now if you want to make a more
traditional business website I'll show
you how to make a regular home page in a
second but first let's talk about posts
vs. pages two of the most important
functions on the sidebar posts and pages
posts simply refer to blog posts which
are usually in the news article format
and have a title and the date pages
refers to an individual page on your
website that is usually part of the core
website such as a home page or about Us
page you can add a new post or page by
hovering over it and clicking add new
this will reveal the Guttenberg text
editor where you can draft up your post
or page by clicking in it and then
adding your content now this is read
with your pages and blog posts that in
my opinion is a little outdated and not
that useful I would suggest using page
builders but we'll get to that at the
end of the video if you want to create a
lot of blog posts this may be good I
would then suggest searching up the
Gutenberg text editor and watching like
one or two tutorials and then you'll be
good to go
to edit everything you want if you're
happy with your work you can click on
publish and then click on publish once
again now if you want to make a
traditional home page that isn't a blog
you can add a new page and make this
your home page put whatever information
and pictures you want into the text
editor
and then do to publish and publish once
again after we have a home page ready we
need to jump into settings on the
sidebar and go into reading at the top
it says front page displays and by
default it's set to your latest post
Rich's ready block shows up instead
click a static page and choose the home
page we just created from the drop down
menu and then hit Save Changes at the
bottom now that we have the basics down
we can start building out the website
further by adding more pages of hosts
for example just like we did with making
a home page we can make an about Us page
the same way and any other page you can
think of
once we have multiple pages it's time to
make a navigation bar so people can
access the pages from the homepage or
whatever page they are on go to the
appearance section once again and click
menus here we can create our navigation
bar first give it a name like navigation
for example then simply choose the pages
you want to include in your navigation
by checking the boxes on the side and
clicking Add to menu
you can rearrange the order in which the
pages will appear and you can even
direct them to the right to create rub
down menus then under theme location
check the primary menu box so your
navigation bar shows up for your website
once you're done click Save menu and you
should be set
the last thing I want to introduce to
you guys when building your website is
the Rondo of plugins we've already seen
how simple it can be to change the look
of your website using themes but plugins
are what really can take your website to
the next level plugins expand the
functionality of your website to allow
you to make virtually any kind of
website you can think of plugins are
coded by professional developers then
packaged up so the average user can use
these functions without having to mess
with the code for example you can
download an e-commerce plugin to
completely transform your website into
webstore that accept customer orders
online payments and customer info the
best part is that most of these plugins
are completely free to install and use
now I'm going to show you an example of
how to install a plugin and implement it
into your website the example we're
going to do now is to make a Contact Us
page with the simple contact form first
go to plugins and then click on add new
there you can click on the popular tab
and scroll down to find a plug-in called
contact form 7 which is the most popular
contact form plugin with over 1 million
thoughts then click install now after
the plugin installed click activate this
will take you to your installed plugins
page now click settings underneath
contact form 7 where you can view and
customize your contact form there's
already a basic contact form in here so
what we can do is implement it onto a
page using what is known as shortcode
shortcode as the name implies is a
shortened version of code that you can
copy and paste into a page to implement
the plugin so go ahead and copy that
chocolate from the settings page and
then either create a Contact Us page or
go to any page you already created I
already created a contact page so I go
to pages and click on contact us and
then I just paste in the short code into
the text editor entered publish
page updated click on the link to see
the finished result as you can see here
now we have a Contact Us page with the
simple form it's that simple after you
make a new page also make sure to edit
to your navigation bar in case you want
to have it in your navigation now that's
all the basics I want to show you for
WordPress I know that this isn't as
detailed as you may wish but that has a
few reasons first of all WordPress is
such a big platform with so many facets
that I simply can't show you everything
you need in 30 minutes but what I did
here is show you all the basics you need
to build your first website and then by
continuing to learn you can build your
first website in a few hours you're
probably testing it out now and it may
seem a little overwhelming but believe
me if you follow everything you've just
seen in the last 25 minutes you'll be
good to start well after now is create a
second tutorial that goes into much more
detail in there I show you how to use a
page builder to really build beautiful
pages from scratch I linked this video
in the info box in the description and
in the comments and it will probably
also appear at the end of the video it's
a one and a half hour video but you can
skip the first 20 minutes but after
watching this video you really be good
to go and know everything that's
necessary for your website so I would
definitely recommend checking that out
otherwise remember WordPress is the
biggest platform for building websites
on the internet so whenever you have a
problem or question just google it you
will find at least 20 tutorials for
every problem and you will always find
an answer otherwise you can also comment
under this video I would gladly help you
out I hope you enjoyed this video if you
did please leave a like
so YouTube also knows that this video
was good you can also subscribe I will
publish a lot more tutorials I hope you
have a great day
remember the second in depth tutorial
and have fun
