1 Score the perfect domain name
Go to the top
Your domain name is basically your website’s unique address. It’s the part after the ‘www.’ in your URL. Ours is ‘websitebuilderexpert.com’, for example.

You can buy a domain name from sites like NameCheap. If you’re lucky, you’ll find the one you want is free, and selling at the standard low rate ($10 – $20/year). If you’re not so lucky, your dream domain name could be unavailable, or available via resale at a much higher rate – sometimes several hundreds or even thousands of dollars. This is only for the first year, though – even the priciest domain names will renew at the standard rate ($10 – $20/year) after that.



2 Sign up to a hosting provider
Bluehost came out top in our research for WordPress hosting. Compared to ecommerce builders and platforms, WordPress can be a little tricky to handle and maintain; you’ve got to install the software, for starters, then stay on top of updates and security. We rate Bluehost because it automates a lot of this for you, all while offering solid hosting in its own right, at a good price. It’s a win-win provider where WordPress is concerned.


3 Install WordPress

‘One-click’ WordPress installation
As you might expect, the first option is definitely the easiest, and is the option we’d recommend. When you’re choosing a hosting provider, look for those offering the perk of ‘one click’ installs – check out the providers on our list of the best WordPress hosts to see a selection of the best.

Manual WordPress installation
If your hosting provider doesn’t offer one-click WordPress installation, it’s a question of downloading WordPress to your computer, then uploading it to your hosting dashboard. It’s easy enough, it’s just not as easy. Check out this WordPress guide on installing the software yourself.

4 Install and configure WooCommerce

Top Tip: It’s super easy to set up WooCommerce with Bluehost. One of the biggest headaches with an ecommerce store can be getting everything ready to go live, but that’s not the case with Bluehost’s WooCommerce plans. They come with an online store website theme pre-installed, and offer one-click installations for payment processing.

For now, though, we’ll assume that’s what you’ll be using, and walk you through the process of installing and configuring it:


5 Choose a theme

Pick a theme that you like, and that will work well for your ecommerce site – even if that means splashing out on a premium template from a third party site. It’ll save you hassle in the long run!

Popular third party sites for buying themes include ThemeForest (huge selection) and Elegant Themes (smaller, curated selection), but there’s a ton of great sites out there.

Once you’ve got a decent number of products ready to go, it’s time to move on to the more fun stuff – choosing a theme!

You can find a selection of free WordPress themes in the theme directory,

6 Add products

Once you’ve installed Jetpack – the last stage of your initial WooCommerce configuration – you’ll see a screen inviting you to add your first product.

For every product you upload, you’ll need the following things:

Product name – e.g. Cute Pale Grey Cement Plant Pot
Price – e.g. $12.95
Main product image – this should be a picture of the whole product, from the front
Additional product images (optional, but recommended) – include pictures from as many different angles as possible, and add closeups of finer details
Product description (long) – e.g. ‘Inject some Scandinavian cool into your home with this simple cement planter. Features a drainage hole and comes with small matching dish, so your plant won’t get over-watered. Height: 15cm. Diameter: 8cm.’
Short product description – e.g. ‘Simple cement planter with drainage hole and matching tray.’
Product category (if you have more than one) – e.g. Plant Pots
7 Install additional plugins

Alongside WooCommerce, here are three plugins we really rate for online stores:

1. Yoast for SEO guidance
2. Securi for security
3. Site Reviews for reviews

8 Add content that converts
Go to the top
Now it’s time to adjust the copy on your key pages. Find these key pages by heading to ‘Pages’, then ‘All Pages’.

9 Make your site public
Go to the top
Once you’re basically happy with how your site works (remember you can always ‘Preview’ pages to see how they’d look live), it’s time to make it public.

This is the easy part!

Go to ‘Settings’, then ‘Privacy’. Once you’ve uploaded your privacy policy, you should see the option to turn your site ‘Public’.
