Website and Blog Building Roadmap

Website and Blog Building Roadmap

This Roadmap will help you purchase a domain name, install and set up WordPress, and get the essentials in place to create a personal or business blog/website (a blog and website are very similar and your WordPress-based site will be able to be used for either).

The roadmap is designed to walk you through:

  • Purchasing a domain
  • Setting your nameservers (geek speak for making sure everything points to the right place)
  • Installing WordPress
  • Tweaking the essential settings
  • Choosing and applying a theme
  • Uploading plugins
  • Using Widgets
  • Creating navigation menus
  • Adding images and other media to your website/blog
  • Creating pages and posts
  • The WordPress block editor in detail
  • Basic security and spam protection for your site

The Roadmap begins with an optional learn-by-doing challenge which is a great way to break through any barriers that you feel may stand in your way. This is a perfect place to begin if you have never created a website or blog before and want hands-on experience of how the process works.

This is followed by an in-depth over-the-shoulder course that details every step of the process, the different options you have to host and show your site to the world, and several pro-level insights and processes to ensure your blog is the best it can be and reaches as many people as possible.
