How to build a WordPress website?
- WordPress installation - The first step is to install WordPress. You can do the installation on your computer or directly on the hosting and domain. We will briefly explain what hosting and domain are. Hosting is space, ie. the place where you will place everything related to the site, and the domain is the address where the data about the site will be displayed. So, when we talk about hosting, we talk about the size - 1,2,5 gigabytes, and the domain is, for example, www.google.com.
- Theme - The second step is to choose a theme. Theme is the most important for website design. By choosing and setting the theme, you will get the site design that the theme enables.
- Plugins - the third step is the installation of plugins. A plugin is an addon that allows you to create everything you need for a website. For example, if you want to create a contact form or a google map, you need to install plugins that will allow you to do that. Actually, everything you can imagine on your website, you will probably be able to do with one of the plugins.
- Content - The fourth step is to enter content for the website. By creating pages, posts or products, you create website content that will be available to visitors.
- Menu - The fifth step is to create a menu. Inside the menu you will place all the content that you want.

Also, it is important to mention that WordPress allows multiple levels of users, who can have different rights on the website. For example, a person who is a website administrator can create a user who only has rights to create and update blog posts.
