How to build a business website with wordpress

Building a business website can cost to hundreds and thousands of dollars so in order to eliminate this cost I have created this guide for you to learn website designing from scratch. So, the very first step is to install wordpress in your web hosting. I have divided all the procedure in further steps below.

Buying a web hosting and domain name

This is the first step to get started. You need to buy your own business domain name i.e. yourbusiness.com and a server to store your website files.

There are several cheap hosting solutions out there in the market but as we all know that quality always comes with price you should never fall in trap because most of the cheapest hosting company either charge double amount while renewing or their server always goes offline.

Installing WordPress in Webhosting

After purchasing a domain name and a hosting account you need to install wordpress and a divi theme to get a drag and drop WordPress builder. As Divi theme is developed by elegantthemes you need to buy their membership plan.

Designing website using Drag and drop builder

As this tutorial purely depends upon divi theme you have to join eleganttheme to download it and I recommend you to select developer plan while joining.

I assume that you have installed divi theme in your wordpress site. If you don’t know how to install a theme in a wordpress site then please watch this video.

Now, after watching this video I hope you can install and activate wordpress themes

After activating the theme you need to create two separate pages one with name “Home” and another with name “Blog”.

The page home will be your landing page for homepage and blog page will display your latest blog posts. Now, let’s get started by selecting these two different pages as front page and blog page.

Go to Settings and click on reading option at Front Page Display section select A Static Page

In the field Front page select recently created page Home and in post page select another page Blog.

Now, Go to pages and edit the recently created page home.

Divi theme comes with preloaded drag and drop feature therefore you don’t have to worry about installing any paid plugins. As soon as you complete installing and creating a page the designing process gets started. Divi theme comes with several preloaded layouts so that you don’t have to worry on creating several modules one by one.

Now, after editing the page just click at Use Page Builder that brings an interface to design a website just by adding some rows, columns and inserting some modules in it.

As mentioned previously divi comes with preloaded layouts so that you don’t have to build a business website with wordpress from beginning. Just click at Load Layout that brings several layouts for your homepage, About, portfolio and Contact us page.

After selecting the preoaded layouts you can see that several modules are automatically added in the page field and these module will determine the look of your website.

Now, save the page and as Homepage Company is selected as a layout lets see how it looks in front end.
