pertinent questions in the world: <em>why?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why would you want to make a website out of your WordPress blog? We&rsquo;re giving you a few good reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128188; <strong>You change the label from personal to professional<\/strong>. If now people treat your blog as a place where you share your thoughts and opinions, a professional website will advertise you as an expert in your field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128266; It&rsquo;s a good <strong>starting point to promote yourself and your services<\/strong>, regardless of your expertise. Be it design, content writing, development, music, art, or whatever you are good at. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128084; <strong>You&rsquo;re making yourself available to potential clients<\/strong>. Through an actual website, you are able to showcase your work and background so that, when a client is looking for someone like you for a project, they will know they can hire you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#129488; <strong>You won&rsquo;t lose your current readers and SEO<\/strong>. If you make a website out of your existing blog, you hit the road with a reader base, no matter how small. It&rsquo;s easier to build up from there than from zero traffic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128176; You can <strong>monetize<\/strong> your content, <strong>sell<\/strong> digital or physical products, and basically <strong>found a business of your own<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"how-to-convert-your-wordpress-blog-to-website\">How to convert your WordPress blog to website<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let&rsquo;s get practical. Following the next steps should be enough to be able to call yourself a site owner by the time you&rsquo;ve finished the revamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s what we&rsquo;ll do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Find web hosting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Switch to a custom domain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find a theme<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create a homepage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add new pages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the blog functionality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make your site social media friendly<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"ti-tweet-clear\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ti-tweet_wrapper\">\n\t\t    \t<div class=\"ti-tweet_text\">\n\t\t    \t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=How+to+convert+a+%23WordPress+%23blog+into+a+%23website%3A+7+steps+%F0%9F%AA%84%F0%9F%AA%84%F0%9F%AA%84&amp;via=themeisle&amp;related=themeisle&amp;url=https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-blog-to-website\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">How to convert a #WordPress #blog into a #website: 7 steps &#129668;&#129668;&#129668;<\/a>\n\t\t    \t<\/div>\n\t\t    \t<div class=\"ti-tweet_sharebtn\">\n\t\t    \t<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=How+to+convert+a+%23WordPress+%23blog+into+a+%23website%3A+7+steps+%F0%9F%AA%84%F0%9F%AA%84%F0%9F%AA%84&amp;via=themeisle&amp;related=themeisle&amp;url=https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-blog-to-website\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Click To Tweet \n\t\t    \t\t<span><\/span>\n\t\t    \t<\/a>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:50px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"find-web-hosting\">Find web hosting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re a WordPress.com user, then go with either of these two options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Upgrade to WordPress.com&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/wordpress-com-pricing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Business plan<\/a><\/strong>. This plan is the best choice because it allows you to add custom themes and plugins to your site. In the other plans, you will depend on their default customization and won&rsquo;t be allowed to design the site your way.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#d7f0ff\">The downside here is that this plan is pretty expensive &ndash; <strong>$25 per month<\/strong> with annual billing or $30 per month with month-to-month billing. In this case, you might consider trying the self-hosted alternative &#128071;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>Move to WordPress.org<\/strong> (self-hosted WordPress) if you&rsquo;re not already hosting your blog on this platform. This option is more affordable and, once installed, gives you full control over what you can add to your site. The trick here is that you need to find a good web host because it doesn&rsquo;t provide you with one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#d7f0ff\">We recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/bluehost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bluehost<\/a> as a cheap and reliable solution to start with &ndash; <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/bluehost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">$3.79 per month<\/a><\/strong>.

The advantage of the paid WordPress service is that you can have a professional domain format. So, instead of <code>www.myblog.wordpress.com<\/code> you can get yourself a friendlier format like <code>www.myblog.com<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The domain you choose doesn&rsquo;t have to end in <code>.com<\/code>.

href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-static-homepage\/\">follow this tutorial<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re using a theme like Neve, for example, that has lots of <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/themes\/neve\/#demos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">starter sites<\/a>, you can build a homepage directly on top of a pre-made template and take your inspiration from there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re creating a homepage from scratch, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/create-a-landing-page-with-the-block-editor-wordpress\/\">start with the native WordPress block editor<\/a>. Or, if you want even more flexibility, consider a <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-page-builders\/\">visual drag-and-drop page builder plugin<\/a> such as <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/elementor-review\/\">Elementor<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you&rsquo;re building your design, don&rsquo;t forget to showcase excerpts from the most relevant sections (e.g. if you offer web design services, feature a preview of your best projects) with clear call-to-action buttons. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:50px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"add-new-pages\">Add new pages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After sketching out the homepage, you should add a few useful pages that every website should have &ndash; <strong><em>About<\/em><\/strong> and <em><strong>Contact<\/strong><\/em> pages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you already have these pages on your blog, check them again and rewrite the content to match your new goals. Make it sound more business-like if that&rsquo;s the direction you want to follow. Present your professional background, experience, and link to the other pages (e.g. your <em>Portfolio<\/em> or your <em>Services<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Including a simple contact form on <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/build-a-contact-page-on-wordpress\/\">the <em>Contact<\/em> page<\/a> will let people get in touch with you easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Portfolio<\/strong>. Here, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/portfolio-site-on-wordpress\/\">showcase the best projects<\/a> you&rsquo;ve worked on so far, those that you are proud of, that could recommend you to clients. Having a sample of your working style on your site will attract people who like your work.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image blog-img-std\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img

Here you can disclose the ways people can advertise their products or services on your site. For instance, if you write paid reviews, you can communicate the price and the terms for such a deal. You can also add details about affiliate programs and partnerships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other examples of useful pages are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Podcast\/Video<\/strong> &ndash; if you&rsquo;re into podcasting and\/or vlogging.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pricing<\/strong> &ndash; where you can describe and compare your plans if you&rsquo;re offering memberships or digital products. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Events<\/strong> &ndash; for consultations, workshops, live streaming, courses, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:50px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"keep-the-blog\">Keep the blog functionality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though your goal was to own a website instead of a blog, you should never get rid of the latter. Keep the blog as a separate page because it will bring you a lot of benefits and will help your website grow in terms of SEO and exposure to potential clients. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image
