Website simply behave like a weapon when it comes to market your business online. People may get confused after checking so many options online and may not be able to decide that what to choose for a good website creation.
Good news is, you can do it at your own if it is small business or a blog. You do not have to worry about anything, I am going to explain each step that I have used for my own website.
Before going into depth, I am sure you must have your idea ready with you along with registered domain.
Steps to create website from scratch
- Be ready with your idea
- Be ready with your domain name
- Be ready with registration of domain through hosting provider
- Create website using hosting provider interface
Now, we will have a look into website creation through hosting interface.
After registration of domain, log into hosting interface. It will have your domain name like below under website tab.
Now check out Hosting tab from main menu and click on auto installer. This will give you picture like below.
I prefer WordPress for my website as it is easy to navigate. It will prompt like below, always go with the recommended method and install it. It will take some time.
After installation of WordPress, you need to go with Edit website option that you can easily find under your website tab of main menu. If you direct want to access your website, then you must suffix – /wp-admin at end of domain name. For example – https://knowledge-store.com/wp-admin
Now interface already created a basic web page for your website and installed some plug-ins. First, we need to remove all the plug-ins so take actions as per below screen shots.
Apply the changes. Now go to the settings section and change your Permalink settings like below. Your post name should be your link to the outside world and save the changes.
Now go to the appearance tab and click on add new Theme. This will give you a window to add new theme as per your choice. I have GeneratePress theme installed so chose accordingly.
Free version of GeneratePress theme is good, but we need to have premium of it. So, I bought the premium plug-in from authentic GeneratePress website. Now in your website go to the Plug-in tab and click on upload plug-in. Select the downloaded plug-in zip file from your desktop and upload it. After installation just activate plug-in.
