You will be prompted to verify install. Select Install and proceed. This begins the installation of WordPress and a progress bar tracks the completion. The process is very fast and will take 2-3 minutes.

Step #4: WordPress Configuration

Once the installation is complete, you will be prompted to begin configuration. Click on “Go to WordPress Configuration page

Once you choose to go to WordPress Configuration Page, you will be prompted to select the language. English (United States) is selected by default. Click Continue. At this stage, you will be able to see the WordPress Welcome Page and will be asked for more details. Enter the details as illustrated in the example and click on Install WordPress.

Step #5: WordPress Dashboard

This completes the WordPress installation and you will be redirected to Dashboard. Dashboard is also the “WordPress Admin” page which gives you the full control over entire functionalities and appearance of your website. It has various options to configure Posts, Add/Remove Pages, Upload Media, Customize Appearance, Add Plug-in, and various tools and configurable settings. You can go into detail as you build the website using each of these options.

Step #6: Selecting Theme

WordPress provides a complete set of tools and plug-ins for any novice user to build a website easily with professional standards. One of the options provided by WordPress is Themes. Themes dictate how your website looks like. They are just templates for your website. There are plenty of themes suited to different kinds of business users such as blogs, templates for services, products, e-commerce etc.

Themes are customizable. You can edit each component of a theme as per your requirements without having to deal with even a single line of code. Most of the themes are free for use, which means all the basic customizations are provided to you for free. However, for plenty of customizable options (such as unlimited tabs, menus etc.) you will have to download a license.

The first thing to do after installation of your website is to go through the list of available templates and choose the one that fits your businesses. Below I have made a simple illustration of selecting and adding a theme. The steps remain same for adding any other theme of your choice.

To select a theme for your website, Select Appearance in the Dashboard page and select sub-menu Themes.

Step #7: Add Theme

There are about 3-4 themes already installed. However, there are plenty of themes which can be added and used. Hence, select “Add new” to choose the theme for your website.

C:\Users\comp\Desktop\Webhost\AddTheme__9.png

In our example, I searched for a theme “Argent.” In the search box, the theme appears. Click on Install to install the theme. Click on Activate to activate the theme for your website.

C:\Users\comp\Desktop\Webhost\InstallArgentTheme- 10.png

Step #8: Customizing the Theme

Once the theme is activated, the next and most important task will be to customize it for your needs. Click on Customize as in the image below to begin with customization.

C:\Users\comp\Desktop\Webhost\CustomizeThemes_13.png

This takes you to the customization page, with plenty of options as shown below

C:\Users\comp\Desktop\Webhost\static_front_page_14.png

Most of the themes have their own set of configuration options, which vary by theme selected. Hence, each of the themes provides their set of end-to end documentation which can be used post activation on WordPress.

If you have selected the theme “Argent,” as per the example, you can refer to the below URL for documentation, which starts from how to begin first step of customization and move there on to add content to your website.

https://theme.WordPress.com/themes/argent/

Also, there is a support link which can be used to get in detail support, as well get answers to your queries as a first time user.

Step #9: Integrate with Google Analytics

On finishing step 8 by adding content to your website, It’s time to get your website optimized for SEO.

  • Generate Google Analytics (GA) Tracking ID for your website

  • Add your website name, Website URL and click on “Get Tracking ID”

    • Your tracking ID will look something like – UA-xxxxxxxx-x

  • Add Google Analytics (GA) Tracking ID to every webpage using Plug-Ins
    • It’s quite cumbersome to manually edit every web page and add the GA tracking id, the easiest approach would be to install “Google Analytics” plugin
    • Go to WordPress admin page of your website , Click on “Add New” under Plugins section

Ex: http://www.<yourwebsite>.com/wp-admin

Search & Install – “Google Analytics” FREE plug-in by “Share This”

On installing the Plug-In , Click on plug-in “Settings” option to see the below page

    • Click on “Authenticate with Google” option , which shall prompt you to enter the Access code
    • Verify using your google analytics account
    • A unique code is popped up , which needs to be added in the requested section
    • Page shall automatically prompt with Google Tracking Code , which you need to select and save the form

  • Perform On-Page SEO & Submit your website to Google using Yoast SEO plug-in
    • It’s imperative to have SEO tags appropriately defined (Title, Meta Description, H1 tag, Image alt tags etc..) for every webpage
    • It’s a tedious task to manually edit every web page and add SEO tags, hence the easiest option is to install Yoast SEO plug-in, which is one of the powerful SEO plug-ins
    • Go to WordPress admin page of your website , Click on “Add New” under Plugins section

ex: http://www.<yourwebsite>.com/wp-admin

    • Search & Install – “Yoast SEO” FREE plug-in
    • Go to “General” section of Yoast SEO and click on “Open the configuration wizard” button and follow the steps given by the wizard
    • Yoast SEO gives option to register with Google & Bing webmaster to get your website indexed

A detailed procedure on handling Yoast SEO plug-in can be accessed here   https://yoast.com/WordPress-seo/  .  If you want to SEO audit your website , use the  comprehensive audit tools.

Congratulations on creating your first website! Now that your website is done, you are just a few steps away from making it successful.

Though these steps help you to get a website built in a very short time, it is equally important to make it user-friendly and reachable to vast number of users.
