This post is a continuation of our post on
In the last section we published a word press website. After
publishing a word press website, you need to create the best website in the
world which no one will be able to resist. If you have coding knowledge, then
you can make use of the child theme to give your website the look you desire.
If you don’t have coding knowledge you can still give your
website a unique look by making use of Word press themes and Plugin.
At this level, you have the option to go for free templates
or paid ones. The same thing goes with plugins. I will give me recommendations
here .
Recommended Templates
There are thousands of word press themes available for you
to choose. However you should becareful as some are not search engine optimized
which is not good for you website.
My recommended template is X Theme. You can buy xtheme by
Themeco on Themforest at $55. This is far more lower than the average theme price of $59 on theme forest for word press themes.
If you have coding knowledge then maintain the free theme on
your website or get another free theme in the word press theme directory to get
started with. Xtheme is suitable for those with programming knowledge as you
can give it the look that you want since the them has several options to add a
customized code. There are other themes like the genesis them and the latest
thrive theme which you can equally give it a try. This is not all. You can get thousands of
word press themes online depending on the type of website you want to build. A
good place to start with is on theme forest as they have over 26000 products
available for word press users.
Recommended Plugin( Xtheme Users)
With many word press developers in the word press community
several plugins are available to assist you in your word press project.
Recommendation Group1 ( if you purchased the xtheme). Why I
recommend Xtheme is that it can help you save upto $1000 for plugins at just
$55. This is one of the most wonderful experience I have had in my life exploring word press theme.
Xtheme comes with plugins such as Content dock, Terms of use,
Olark, Visual composer,white labe, under construction, smooth scroll ,Corner stone
In addition to this install the following:
*Yoast SEO plugin (Free)
*TinyMCE for
typing(Free)
*WP profit builder(Paid), if you want to change your website
into a lead magnet.
Recommendation Group2 ( Assuming you are using other themes)
Visual Composer
Wp profit builder
Yoast SEO plugin
TinyMCE for
typing(Free)
Get Word presses hosting
on the link below and inbox me with your purchase details. I will give your 5+ premium word press plugins worth more than
$100.
Based on the last post on creating a website, we can
conclude that to get our word press website up and running the way we wants it to be, we will need the
following
i.
Hosting
ii.
Domain name
iii.
Theme
iv.
Plugins
Just as a reminder, there exists
worpress.com which is a free service. This option has so many limitations as
you are restricted to the themes available, you cannot use themes you have
created, you cannot have access to cpanel, you get ads on your blog among
others.
We are developing here with wordpress.org. As we move
forward, I will expose what the difference between these two plat forms is.
We will need a hosting account+ domain name to start our
word press site (Installation) . After
installing the word press site, we will need word press theme that suits our
project to get started. To add value to
our themes, we can make use of plugins. For developers you can edit the various
theme functions to give it a look that you want. We will be seeing how to install a word press theme in our next post after
which will comes how to install a word press
plugin.
Starting an online selling business with wordpress is now a trend, people prefer ready made websites rather than masking it separately. i think its a great idea and wordpress have a huge industry working on different business nature websites
