WordPress how to get started
If you are thinking of opening your own website, WordPress is certainly an excellent choice as its use is within everyone's reach, even those without technical skills.
Getting started with WordPress is also simple, all you have to do is buy a space to install it and start creating your site
WORDPRESS HOW TO GET STARTED. JUMP TO:
Purchase of Hosting and Domain
If you want to create a professional website, this is the only expense you will have to make and believe us, it's not worth it.
What are hosting and domain? Simply put, hosting is where all the data of a site is physically saved, and the domain is the address where the site can be reached. We talk about it in detail in this article
So now all you have to do is buy them, and you can do it from here:
Install WordPress
Let's now get into the more technical part, but don't be afraid, it's all very simple!
WordPress how to get started: the first step is to install it on the domain.
Depending on the hosting you have chosen, the procedure will vary slightly but there are usually instructions on how to proceed.

Enter the WordPress dashboard
To start creating your site, now that WordPress has been installed, you need to enter the so-called "back-end", the dashboard where you will have all the commands available to build your website.
In a standard WordPress installation, you can log in by going to the link: https://tuo-sito.com/wp-admin/. Basically just add /wp-admin to your site URL.
This is the way to get started with WordPress!
Choose a theme
Themes determine the appearance and layout of your site, so we recommend first choosing a theme and building the content around it.
There are many free themes for WordPress, and you can see them in the repository located inside the dashboard, under Appearance -> Themes
WordPress how to get started: choose your theme!
Our advice is to use a simple theme: WordPress initially offers a basic theme with which you can already create a beautiful site.
More complex topics are often accompanied by actual "instructions", which we recommend following step by step.
If you really can't find a theme you like among the free ones, you can search among the premium themes of Themeforest.
A clarification: the more complex the theme, the more it will require not only resources, but also extra plugins to work. This means having to learn to use a higher number of functions, which can represent a further complication at the beginning.
Add contents
Now that the more aesthetic part is taken care of, we need to start filling the site with content.
To do this, just go to the bulletin board and create Pages ed Articles.
When starting to use WordPress, there is often confusion between these two. Briefly, the Pages are the backbones of the site, such as the Homepage, the Contact Page, the About Me Page, etc.
Articles, on the other hand, are dynamic elements, which serve to give the reader informative details on a particular topic.
For example, if we intend to open a blog, the specific articles on "What to do in Paris" or "Where to eat in London" will be created as Articles.
For more information on how to use WordPress articles and start using them, you can read this article.
Install the plugins
Plugins are applications that add extra features to our site. WordPress initially comes with a significant amount of features, but if you want something special that isn't provided during installation, plugins come to the rescue.
You can find many free ones in the repository, under the Plugins heading. Our advice is to never use many of them, because there is the risk of making the site heavier and creating conflicts.

Conclusions
These are the very first steps to get started on WordPress. Its elasticity and reliability make it the most used content management system in the world, and for this reason you will find many resources and tutorials online, including our blog "WordPress pills”.
