Instructions for creating a web page
Login to WordPress:
Use the WordPress dashboard URL (usually "yourdomain.com/wp-admin") and log in with your own username and password.
Start Site Editing:
Now you are on your WordPress dashboard where you can edit your website, add content, change your theme, and more.
Choose a theme:
WordPress has many free and paid themes that affect the look and feel of your site. You can choose a theme from WordPress' selection of themes. Click "add new" to find and download the theme you want.
Customize the theme:
You can customize the theme of your choice to meet the needs of your site. To do this, go to "Appearance" and then "Customize". From here, you can change colors, add logos, and make other appearance changes.
More pages and content:
To create pages, select "Pages" in the sidebar, then "Add New". You can create multiple pages such as homepage, information about us, contact information and services. You can easily add content to pages with WordPress' text editor.
-Once you've created pages, you can include them together by creating links.
More add-ons:
You can extend the functionality of your site by installing add-ons. Examples include SEO plugins (search engine optimization), contact forms, and social media sharing buttons. To find and download add-ons, select "Add-ons" and "Add New".
Save and publish:
Once you're happy with the look and content of your site, save and publish your changes.
Check mobile optimization:
Make sure your site looks good and works flawlessly on mobile devices as well. Most WordPress themes are responsive, but make sure anyway.
Back up your site:
Make regular backups of your site just in case. You can download a backup program in the "Add-ons" section (eg. UpdraftPlus).
Monitor and update the site:
Update WordPress core files, themes, and plugins regularly. Also, monitor the performance and security of your site.
