3 Steps to create a website (How to make a website)

CHOOSE A DOMAIN NAME

A domain name is the address of your site. It typically ends in .com. Don't rush this step because you cannot change the name once you register it.

Branding your site with the right name is important. Choose one that is easy to remember and spell.

"HOW DO I DESIGN MY WEBSITE?"

WordPress comes with thousands of free themes, so you don't have to spend any money on your website template design if you don't want to.

All you do is go toAppearance >> Themesfrom the WordPress Admin area and search for a theme.

If it's in the budget, I recommend going with a premium theme because you will be offered more design options.

Many free themes are very limiting when it comes to design customizations (unless you're a programmer.)
