There is absolutely no need to learn using HTML or other programming languages.
However, learning them to add to your knowledge is always the worth. but you don’t need them to build a website using WordPress as a beginner.
Many WordPress users have no coding or programming experience, and have used WordPress for years.
Likewise, several popular WordPress developers have started just like you and are now making websites as full time web developers.
Now that you’re open to learning WordPress, we want to invite you into the amazing culture of WordPress and WPBeginner.
Let’s Start!
Day 1: Getting WordPress going:
There are two types of Websites for WordPress. WordPress.org is also known as WordPress, a self-host, and instead WordPress.com.
We consider using WordPress.org that is self-hosted because it allows you to access all the WordPress functionality out of the box.
Now that you’ve found your correct site, the next move is to pick your hosting domain and web.
The domain is the url of the website that users click to reach to you (for example: wpbeginner.com).
The next move is to pick Web hosting. It is where the files of your website should be kept, so that people can visit your pages.
A domain usually costs $14.99 for a year, and the web hosting begins at $7.99 a month. If you are just starting out, this is a lot of money.
If you’ve signed up for a domain name and web hosting account, downloading WordPress is the time.
WordPress is known for its simple deployment and most hosting providers do sell WordPress installers with 1-click version. If you need assistance then follow our deployment guide for WordPress step by step.

You can also install WordPress on your Mac or Windows device, if you only want to know and build a test site. Yet note, other internet users aren’t likely to access nearby websites. You’ll need to switch WordPress from your (local) machine to a live platform to make it available to everyone.
If you have WordPress enabled, you can enter either the WordPress dashboard or the Admin area. It has a modern look with a top toolbar, and a left sidebar user interface.
Congratulations, you built a Web site for WordPress. Your website is actually bare, though, and uses a very simple interface, with no visible functionality.
You’ll become acquainted with the WordPress apps over the next few days, and learn how to set it up to function for you.

We suggest downloading elementor plugin, Ocean Extra plugin for any person.
WordPress plugins on your WordPress website will help you do anything you want.
Much of the day you’ll be busy testing plugins. Take the time to discover plugins that could help the company expand.
When you come back, the next thing we’ll cover is WordPress themes.
Day 4: Themes for WordPress:
WordPress themes power the website’s appearance. Themes are pre-made models that can be built and customized to the app.
There are thousands of free and paid WordPress themes available. Free themes can be downloaded from the directory WordPress Themes.
A good theme would be a balance between elegant architecture and solid functionality.
Not necessarily so many apps are a hallmark of a strong theme. We strongly recommend OceanWP theme which is freely available and can be customized the way you want.
Day 5: WordPress customisation:
Per website has different requirements for customisation. You’ll come across new issues, based on what you want to do with your website.
For example how to add a contact form, or create separate page for blog posts.
We recommend customizing through Elementor, which is best for customizing pages, blogs, sections, and many more. Soon, our blog for customizing through Elementor will be updated.
Hopefully by the end of the week, you’ve managed to set up your website and get to learn how WordPress functions.
However, WordPress is an extremely strong tool and when you work on your website you can start learning new things.
