You might even find that your host installs WordPress automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re using Bluehost, they&rsquo;ll give you a simple setup wizard when you log in that will help you install WordPress and set up your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if your host doesn&rsquo;t do that for you, it should give you a one-click installer somewhere in your hosting dashboard.

We&rsquo;ll start adding content after we install some plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re not sure where to start, consider <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/themes\/neve\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our free Neve theme<\/a>. It&rsquo;s multipurpose, which means you can use it to build everything from a blog to an ecommerce store. It also gives you lots of customization options, which will be relevant when we cover how to customize your theme later in our guide.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"plugins\">How to install plugins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While themes control your site&rsquo;s appearance, plugins help you add features and functionality to your website. These features can be small, like a contact form. Or they can be very large, like <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-set-up-woocommerce\/\">turning WordPress into a functioning ecommerce platform<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/what-is-woocommerce-101\/\">WooCommerce<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can think of something you&rsquo;d like for your website, then there is a plugin to help you achieve it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can enhance your site with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-share-old-blog-posts\/\">Automatic social shares<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/backup-a-wordpress-site-for-free\/\">Backups<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a

security<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&hellip;lots of other features<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Like themes, you can add free and paid plugins from the WordPress dashboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will again see the option to upload a zip file, or you can browse through the over 65,000 free plugins available from the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WordPress plugin repository<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-opt-id=1000983281

There&rsquo;s no publish date &ndash; it&rsquo;s just always there. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A <strong>WordPress Post<\/strong> is timely news or information about a specific topic.  Basically, a blog post. It has a specific publish date and your site will list your recently published posts on the blog page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When building a website, you should always have <strong>Home<\/strong>, <strong>About Us<\/strong>, <strong>Privacy<\/strong>, <strong>Terms and Conditions<\/strong>, and <strong>Contact<\/strong> pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this might seem like a lot of pages to build, the WordPress Editor uses a straightforward block system that makes it easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&rsquo;re going to look at two methods for building pages: <strong>from scratch<\/strong> or <strong>with templates<\/strong> (called Block Patterns).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building a page from scratch<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To start building pages, hover over <strong>Pages<\/strong> and
