WordPress Tutorials
These Tutorials will Show You How to Create Your Website Using WordPress
To start a website, you need three things:
- A Domain: this is the URL of your website. We cover how to buy a good domain for your site in the Domains Guide.
- Web Hosting: A website is made up of hundreds of files which have the code, the images, the content, etc). These files need to be hosted on a server somewhere, from where they are then shared with the world over the internet. That’s what Hosting Providers do. You pay to rent space on their web servers to store your website and make it accessible over the internet. Finding the right Hosting is the first guide in this Category.
- Content Management System (CMS): this is the user-friendly software that allows you to create and manage a website., without needing to code. I use the most powerful and popular CMS out there, which is WordPress.
Is WordPress Free?
Yes WordPress is an open source software and therefore it is completely free.
This is why this website creation tool is the most popular CMS in the world with millions of users. By creating your website on WordPress you are opening up to a multitude of related software, and resources to assist you in any future needs.
All the Tutorials below are based on WordPress.
