A few years ago, creating a website was a very difficult task, and not every internet user could create a website on their own. Rather, he had to hire a web developer who knew to code. But with the passage of time things have changed and now creating a website by yourself is not such a difficult task. Because all the coding software does it themselves, you just have to do a few clicks in a certain sequence, just like you create your Facebook ID or email account with a few clicks.
Today’s article will show you how to launch a website from scratch. The entire process takes an hour, and your website is created.
After the website is launched, designing it, creating pages, and adding content to them is a long and lifelong task, which never ends.
I have also launched a five-day live course on creating a website on WordPress, which teaches you how to create a website. There are two options:
One is that you are only taught how to launch a website and set it up. The fee is only twenty-five dollars.
Second, this course is designed to build your own website. The fee is sixty dollars.

How to start a website?
First, understand two or three things so that you can understand the terms used in it.
Hosting
Just like when you use a mobile phone or a computer, you need a hard disk or memory card to store your data, the more data you have, the larger the memory card or hard disk you need. Just like the data that will be on your website i.e. whatever you will upload, be it words, pictures, videos, etc. you need a hard disk to save it all. The data that is visible on the website is on that hard disk and that is where your website is visible from. You have to buy this memory or space from a company for the data visible on the website. There are big companies in the world that rent this memory. Usually, this rent is charged on an annual basis. That is, just like you rent a house and keep your stuff in it, similarly, you have to rent memory or space from a company to keep the website stuff. This space is called hosting.
Domain
A domain is an address you give people to get to your website: like our website
www.nuktaguidance.com
Now nuktaguidance is our “domain” after the W in it. This domain name also has to be purchased and has an annual fee.
C panel
Like watching or listening to photos, videos, or audios in your mobile gallery, but sometimes you also need to go to their original folder, then you go to a file name folder in mobile, their mobile Memory and the card are visible, then you can go into them and make any changes you want. Even on such a website, you do all the work in your website dashboard but sometimes there is an issue where you need to go inside the actual folders of your data. And the place where these actual folders are kept is called “C-Panel”.
Plug-in
You have to download different applications to do different things on mobile. Like WhatsApp, Facebook, etc. In order to perform various functions on such a website, Word Press applications have to be installed. These are called “plug-ins”.
Hosting, domain purchase
When you plan to build a website, the first thing to do is to get hosting from a company. Here are some of the companies you can buy hosting and domains from:
hosterpk or Hostinger or Hostgator
Go to whichever company you like, choose your domain and hosting plan, and complete the purchase process. For which you need to add the Visa or credit card details issued by the bank. In this way, hosting and domain will be given to you after receiving the required amount from your account.
Usually, these companies give the domain free with hosting for the first time, then you have to pay the domain fee every year from the following year.
Installation on WordPress
After purchasing the hosting and domain, it needs to be installed on WordPress. For this, you need to log in to your hosting company’s website.
And then login to C-Panel from the dashboard.
Now you will see a lot of C-Panel options and software. Go to the bottom of them, and click on WordPress.
- Now enter your domain here
- Enter the website name, title, and description
- Enter username and password and email
- Choose any theme, it can be changed later.
- And click on Install.
So sir your website is launched, and one can visit it from anywhere.
Word Press Dashboard
Now type your full domain in the Google search bar and open your website:
www.yourdomain.com
Now you will see your website but nothing on it.
Now to login to your website type this next to the domain written above
www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin
WordPress will ask you for an email/username and password. Enter the same email/username and password that you created when you installed WordPress.
Settings
Now you click on the setting tab and do some necessary settings
In Site Title, write the title of your website by topic
Write a short description in the tagline using words that are relevant to your website.
Make any other necessary settings you want.
Plug-in
After logging in, you will be presented with a dashboard through which you can manage your website.
Install some necessary plugins, eg
- Jetpack
- Really Simple SSL
- Advanced Editor Tools (previously TinyMCE Advanced)
For this, click on the Plugins tab, click on Add New and search for the required plugin in the search, install and activate it.
Theme
Install a theme related to the purpose you want to run the website for.
Click on Appearance, then click on Theme and then click on Add New Theme.
While installing the theme, make sure that it is lightweight. Mobile friendly. You can install one of the following themes:
- Kadence
- Blocksy
- Astra
- OceanWP
- GeneratePress
etc.
Theme settings
When you install a custom theme. For example, if you have an online store, or you have a news website, or you do blogging, etc. Each theme also has its own settings and required plugins. This is such a detailed work that I cannot cover it within one article. However, let me tell you a secret, and it’s the biggest weapon in the Internet world that most people don’t know about. And that is search
That is, you should know how to search on the Internet, Google, and YouTube. You want to do any work but you don’t know how to do it, so you search for that work in Google search or YouTube search. To search, type the word “how to” at the beginning of the task, for example:
- How to create a website
- How to install the plugin
- How to create an online store
- How to do SEO
- What is the best theme?
etc
Searching in this way will bring you good tutorials that you can use to improve your website.
Pages
There are certain pages that every website must have, so the first task is to create those pages. To create pages, click the Pages tab and then click Add New.
Name the page
And write down all the details that this page is about.
The following pages are generally required
- Contact us
- Privacy Policy
- Our blog
- Terms and Conditions
Apart from these, you can create as many pages as you want.
Post
Click on the post tab and post whatever you want to post. This post page is also your blog page.
After making these necessary settings, get the necessary SEO information before you start working so that when you start posting, you can start working with SEO in mind from the beginning.
