What We Need0:51
In this lesson, we cover the 3 things we need in order to build a WordPress website.

1. Content Managent System (CMS)
For this tutorial, we're going to be using WordPress. WordPress actually powers over 40% of all websites online. It's the same platform used by companies like Harvard, NASA and TechCrunch for their websites. And it's 100% free for us to use.

2. Domain Name
A domain name is usually just the title of a website or business. With www. before it, and .com after it. So, it’s what people are going to type into their internet browser, to visit our website.

3. Web Hosting
Web hosting is is where the different files that make up our website will be stored online. So, people can access it, even when our own computer is switched off.
Hosting & Domain Name3:58
In this lesson, we cover how to set up web hosting and register a domain name for our website.
There are tons of places to get domain names and web hosting. But, I’d recommend using Bluehost for both.
Bluehost are a well-known hosting company, with affordable pricing and great support.
They also offer a free domain name with all of their hosting packages. (for the first year)
And they're even recommended by WordPress themselves, as one of their top choices for hosting.
Install WordPress on Hosting3:02
In this lesson, we cover how to install WordPress onto our hosting. Normally, this would require us to download WordPress. And then, manually upload it to our hosting account and connect our domain name. But, because Bluehost use a one click installer, we can literally install WordPress in about a minute.
Delete Demo Content2:29
In this lesson, we'll be covering how to delete some demo content. When we first install WordPress, it comes pre-loaded with a few demo pages, a demo blog post, and some Plugins. But, as we don't need these things, we're going to delete them.

Install WordPress Theme2:21
In this lesson, we'll be covering how to install and activate a WordPress theme. This will change the entire look of our website.
For this course, we're going to be using one of my favourite free WordPress themes of all time, which is a theme called "GeneratePress".
GeneratePress is a perfect theme for beginners. It's easy to use, and works well for almost any type of website. And it even has a perfect 5 star review score on WordPress, with more than 1,300 reviews.
Now, you can always change the theme again later, if you want to, after learning the basics. But, I’d recommend using the same one as me, so you can follow along with the tutorial.
(different themes will have different options)
Access WordPress Theme Options0:17
In this lesson, we'll be covering how to access the WordPress "Theme Options", which is where we can customize our WordPress theme.
Site Identity (Site Title, Tagline, Logo)2:25
In this lesson, we'll be covering how to change our site title and tagline. And how to upload a logo image if we have one.
Create WordPress Menu (Add Pages)2:23
In this lesson, we'll be covering how to create different pages for our website. And we do this by creating a navigation menu.
Assign Website's Home Page0:57
In this lesson, we'll be covering how to assign our website's home page. By default, WordPress is set up to be a blog, with blog posts on the home page. But, as we're building a website, we're going to change this to be a "static page" instead.
Our Progress So Far0:39
In this lesson, we'll cover the progress we've made so far.

Access WordPress Page Editor0:16
In this lesson, we cover how to access the WordPress page editor. Which is how we add content to our different pages.
Add Text (Paragraphs, Lists, Headings)2:00
In this lesson, we cover how to add different types of text to our pages. (paragraphs, lists, headings)
Add Images0:50
In this lesson, we cover how to add images to our pages.
Publish & View Page0:30
In this lesson, we cover how to publish and view our pages.
Add Spacer Blocks1:11
In this lesson, we cover how to add Spacer blocks to our pages.
Finish Page0:42
In this lesson, we cover what to do after publishing our page / once we're finished.
Add Content to Rest of Pages0:46
I quickly add content to the rest of my pages. (to save time)

Edit The WordPress Sidebar0:56
In this lesson, we cover how to edit the WordPress sidebar.
Delete Sidebar Widgets1:16
In this lesson, we cover how to delete sidebar Widget blocks on WordPress.
