4 BASIC STEPS IN CREATING A WEBSITE

  • Domain name
  • Hosting
  • Installing wordpress
  • Create website

Getting a domain name: Your domain name is simply the name or URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of your website. For example google domain name is www.google.com, just as mine is www.webiliti.com.ng  yours can be anything you want .com, .ng, .in, .net, .org..

Hosting: hosting is an online server that houses your website; it holds all your website information. It can be a month, weeks, or year (s).

Installing wordpress: there are different website installers you can use to build a website such as wordpress, joomla, mac, etc there are also website builders you can get from online such as;

Wix– Wix is one of the best website builders with an overall score of 4.8 out of 5; it has a lot of great website features, including an insightful drag-and-drop editor that make website building as easy as ABC. It is kind of already made website building platform.

Shopify is another great already made platform to build a site; it is more suitable for online store which has  a product range of more than ten, based on the assessment of its sales capabilities and a score of 4.5 out of 5.

There are lots more online website builder you can use but so far based on my experience and professional knowledge wordpress remain the best. WordPress allows you to build from the grand to finish level.

WordPress is a content management system (CMS) it helps you manage your information without you coding. It’s easy to use with its great feature such as drag and drop and easy to edit content. One great thing is that wordpress is an open source, it’s free, and you don’t need to pay for any subscription or package.

Before we continue you need to register your domain and host it. For domain registration and hosting contact me……+234 (0)7043-699-860

Let’s continue, having registered your domain and hosting next we do is to install the wordpress.

 I will be showing you how to install wordpress on cpanel.

Cpanel: is the ultimate administrator, it houses all the content you put in your website, such as theme, plugin, images, etc. Many web hosting businesses use the well-known Cpanel software. It offers simple web-based interface for hosting account management for website owners.

It provides one-stop access to many practical tools, such as programs that automatically install WordPress.

 

I will be showing you how to install WordPress using the auto-installers. Follow the instructions, or you can as well watch my video on the step by step guide on how to design, build or develop a website.

Simply login to your cPanel account and look for Softaculous or WordPress installer icon. You will find them under Auto Installers section.

Clicking on any of these icons will launch Softaculous auto-installer for WordPress. First, you will see an overview of WordPress. You need to click on the Install tab to continue.

Softaculous will now ask you where you want to install WordPress. You need to choose http:// or http://www. as protocol.

If your site has SSL and HTTPS, then you can select https:// or https://www. as protocol.

After that, you need to choose the domain name where you want to install WordPress. Most users want to install WordPress in their domain’s root directory, like example.com.

In that case, you need to make sure that the ‘In Directory’ field is blank.

Scroll down a little, and you will see the site settings section.

Under this section, first you need to provide a title and description for your WordPress site. Don’t worry you can easily change them from your WordPress admin area after installation.

Next, you need to choose an admin username, password, and email address. Softaculous will automatically fill in the username and password fields for you. It will use a non-dictionary word for username and a strong password.

You can change them if you want so that they are easy to remember for you. However, we strongly urge you to always use a strong password

Make sure that you enter correct email address in the admin email field. This is where WordPress will send notifications and password reset link if you ever forgot your password.

Rest of the options on the screen are optional. You can now click on the install button to run the installer.

Softaculous will run the installer using the settings you provided. You will see a progress bar with installation status. It will take a couple of minutes. Do not close the window until the progress bar reaches 100% otherwise, this may affect your WordPress installation.

You will see a success message after the installation is finished. It will also show you links to your website and to your WordPress admin area.
