The Process of Building a Simple WordPress Website

Start creating your online presence effortlessly with our guide to building a Simple WordPress Website.

Step 1: Domain Registration

Opt for a memorable domain name for your business or organization. Utilize a reputable domain registrar to acquire your selected domain. It’s advisable to steer clear of using GoDaddy and consider using namecheap.com

Step 2: Hosting Provider Selection

Choose a dependable hosting provider that aligns with your website’s needs.

• For small websites, consider namecheap.com shared hosting.
• For larger corporate websites, options like Wpengine and Siteground are recommended.

Step 3: Gathering Branding Assets

Ensure your branding assets are ready for use, including:

• Logos: Ensure logo images are provided in SVG format.
• Colors: provide the Hex code of your branding colors.
• Fonts: If not utilizing Google Fonts, prepare the font files (preferably in WOFF2 format). If using Google Fonts, provide the font names.

Step 4: Organize your content:

• Copy: Store your copy in a document file, such as Google Doc or PDF.
• Images: If you have specific images for the website, provide high-quality images with ample dimensions.
• Layout: If you have a preliminary idea of how to display the content, use Google Slides to create a simple wireframe.

Step 5: Requirement Compilation

Compile all requirements in a file, including:

• What pages need to be built?
• Any additional features desired, e.g., news, blog posts, team page, etc.
• Identify competitors.
• Specify any websites with designs you admire and note the aspects you appreciate.

Step 6: Web Design

Design the website based on the client’s requirements, incorporating the provided branding assets. Seek client approval before handing the mockup files to the developer

Step 7: Development

Develop the website in a staging environment. Allow the client to review the final results.
