How to Make a Website

How to make a website using WordPress is super easy
Start with the web hosting company - you need a place that will host your website
If you want easy, relatively inexpensive, go to Godaddy.com
Get a basic WordPress website hosting package, Deluxe or similar (1 site with one-click staging)
We are not recommending their website builder
Set up your GoDaddy account - you need the Deluxe package, with malware essentials, and a security certificate (http://bizresearch.com has an SSL certificate, which renews annually)
Set up the WordPress installation, using their WordPress installation wizard
Then go into the WP admin through GoDaddy's dashboard, once the WordPress is installed
You will typically have the current version of WordPress installed on your site, with a basic WordPress theme

WordPress themes are easy to use, but you need to consider the following:
Just because a WordPress website theme looks nice, that does not mean it is code friendly
Most WordPress themes will need some CSS code customization
You can hire a CSS code editor, preferably state-side or someone local you know that you can trust
The WordPress theme that we typically use (2017-2018-2019) is from Themeisle.com
We like the Zelle Pro WordPress theme the most, despite all of the other options
Once you find a WordPress theme that you like, you might want to stick with it for 2-3 years, until something else comes out that you prefer

The above websites were created using the Zelle Pro WordPress theme
The price is between $69-$99/year per website, or if you have 1-3 sites, it's $99 (as of the writing of this article)
You will need to download the Zelle Pro WordPress theme OR you could activate the basic from within the WordPress admin area, within your new website
If you activate Zelle (formerly Zerif) within WordPress, you will need to purchase the theme pro version, then get the license code for your WordPress theme version
