Creating a website requires you to start by knowing the ‘technical vocabulary’ used related to this particular area. Here I list the basic words you will frequently see and that you need to know to understand what they mean and what they represent.
What is needed and what it represents:
- Website = house (final product)
- Domain = address of the house
- Hosting = land where the house is settled
- WordPress = foundation of the house
- Theme = layout of the house (plans/distribution)
- Builder = contractor who will build the house
- Plugins = contractors who will make your house look better (more functionality)
Steps to get your website (house) done:
- Get a domain
- Get a hosting service and point it to your domain
- Install WordPress (it’s free) in your hosting
Inside WordPress:
- Install a theme (free or paid)
- Install the builder
- Add plugins as/if necessary
- Start making pages, adding copy, etc.
