Every service website you’ve visited has several key features that tie it all together. Everything\u00a0from the way they display their services, to the information they choose to include is (or should be!) the product of careful consideration. It’s a lot of work to undertake alone, which is why we decided to put together a guide to creating a WordPress service website for your benefit.<\/p>\n

This tutorial won’t focus on secondary aspects of service website design, like which type of logo<\/a> to use, or how to style your pages. We’re going all-in on the most critical service website features.<\/p>\n

In this article, we’re going to teach you how to add pricing tables, implement payment options, customer testimonials, and live chat. However,\u00a0before all that, let’s take a minute to talk about step number one\u00a0\u2013 getting your domain and WordPress hosting ready.<\/p>\n

Step #1:\u00a0Pick a domain and a WordPress host<\/h2>\n

Picking a domain name is mostly a personal choice, but there are several factors you should take into consideration to make sure it’s a good one. Choosing the right WordPress host<\/a>, however, can get a bit trickier. You need to consider security, performance, scalability, and the plans they offer. It’s a lot of information to find on your own, so we recommend that you take a look at some of our past WordPress hosting review articles:<\/p>\n

  2. HostGator WordPress Hosting Review: A Surprise Turnaround<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n
  3. SiteGround Review for WordPress Websites and Blogs: Good Enough?<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Your choice of WordPress host will heavily influence your further experience, so study your picks closely, and then test them personally if possible (with a short starter subscription) before settling in for the long haul.<\/p>\n

    Step #2: Install and set up WordPress<\/h2>\n

    As we mentioned earlier, we’re going to build our service website using WordPress, which\u00a0is an excellent choice for this type of website, since it enables you to implement all sorts of advanced functions at the drop of a hat using plugins. It’s also budget friendly<\/a>, which makes it ideal for growing a service website from scratch.<\/p>\n

    After installing WordPress<\/a>, you need to set up a theme to get your site ready for prime-time. Follow these instructions<\/a> (the guide uses the Zelle<\/a> theme as an example), and you’ll be good to go.<\/p>\n

    Once you know how to install one WordPress theme, you know how to install them all \u2013 the process is always the same. With that out of the way, we can get started with our service website sections. But first, check out this guide to installing WordPress plugins<\/a>\u00a0(if you need a refresher).<\/p>\n

    Step #3: Add pricing tables<\/h2>\n

    Pricing tables are the type of tables that service websites use to display the plans they offer, how much they cost, and what each of them includes. Here’s an example from our own site:<\/p>\n

    \"An<\/p>\n

    This type of table is an excellent fit<\/a> for service websites because they provide potential customers with all the information they need in a tidy package. Furthermore, all your services are laid next to each other so that they can be compared with ease.<\/p>\n

    To set up your own pricing table, we recommend that you use the Responsive Pricing Table plugin:<\/p>\n
