Ep 43: DIY-Getting Started With a WordPress Website
To build a WordPress website, you'll need three essential components:
- Domain Name: This is the web address of your site, such as google.com.
- WordPress Hosting: This is where your website's files are stored and served to visitors.
- A few hours of undivided attention: Dedicate some time to focus on building your website.
The cost of a WordPress website can vary significantly depending on your requirements. A basic business website can start at a few hundred dollars initially, with about $100 per year for hosting. However, the cost can increase to tens of thousands of dollars annually if you need advanced features like SEO, lead magnets, email marketing, sales funnels, pop-ups, and professional copywriting.
Tom recommends starting small and adding more features as your business grows to avoid spending money on unnecessary elements. You can gradually enhance your website's functionality based on your evolving needs.
As for the best website platform, Tom recommends two main hosting providers: Bluehost and Siteground. Bluehost is a budget-friendly option for beginners, while Siteground offers faster hosting services. Both are compatible with WordPress, the most popular website platform worldwide, powering nearly 28% of all websites on the internet. WordPress is known for its flexibility, free access, and extensive library of website designs and extensions.
After choosing a hosting provider, you'll need to follow these steps to get your WordPress site up and running:
- Register a domain name.
- Sign up for a hosting account.
- Install WordPress.
- Add necessary plugins and extensions to enhance your website's functionality.
These steps will help you establish your online presence and customize your website according to your needs.
