Are you looking to build a website of your own? I can help.
Whether you are looking to create your own niche websites or you are looking to create a website for a local business or client, you can accomplish that with relative ease these days. Websites have been simplified and there are services and platforms out there that offer “dummy proof” ways to create professional looking sites.
So if you are looking to build a site, read on…
The Most Important Aspects of a Website
You have a website, which is your “web presence”, but then you have hosting, the place that stores your website and makes sure it serves quickly and efficiently to people that visit your website. There are some very important aspects of websites that make the difference between a quality site and one that is lacking.
(1) Speed & Load Time
(2) Professional Design & Look
(3) Easy to Navigate
(4) Uses a CMS (Content Management System)
(5) Quality website content
If you can accomplish these 5 things, you will be operating a very successful (and profitable) website. In order to do this though, you need to be leveraging a framework that “simplifies” this process. To do this, I recommend WordPress (you can build a FREE WordPress website RIGHT NOW by entering a domain in the box below)…
The Importance of WordPress, a true Content Management System (CMS)
Many of you have likely heard of WordPress, the world’s most widely used website framework. In fact, this website was built using WordPress.
I can still remember back 10 years when I started out and I had to manually code HTML by hand, programming knowledge was essential. Boy have things changed over the years. Anyone, I mean ANYONE can build a website these days and succeed online as a result. The technological barriers have been completely removed because of Content Management Systems like WordPress.
Here are some benefits to using WordPress.
- Typically very easy to install and set-up (click of a button at Wealthy Affiliate)
- No HTML, no code, no need for some advanced knowledge
- Over 1,400 different website templates to choose from
- One click install over 10,000 “add on” features and website functionality
- Lots of support and help within the community
As you can see, WordPress is my choice and it is the exclusive framework I use to build ALL of my websites and has been for the last 4 years. Now I want to show YOU how you can get your very own WordPress website and how to build a website in the next 5 or so minutes.
Want to build a WordPress website for FREE…NOW?
I have created a video for you showing you how you can get a website up and running, quickly & efficiently. In fact, in this video I show you how I built a fully functional WordPress website in 30 seconds for free. Check it out here…
WATCH VIDEO: Create a Website in Under 30 Seconds
As I said, I can help…but only if you are willing to take action on the help I give you. If you want a website less than 5 minutes from now you are going to need to take 3 steps.
Step 1: Start Building Your Website for your $0 at SiteRubix.com
Step 2: Create a Totally Free Account
Step 3: YOU Get Access to 2 Free Websites & an Entire Training Platform
And just like that, you are going to have your very own, fully functional WordPress website up and running.

Hi Kyle, thanks, another world-class blog on scams and WP. WA has made WP much easier to use with all the courses you’ve given. I hope you can find time to look at my new website modestlyjen.com. I have a passion for writing since I was a kid, and I do get good feedbacks on it. (Talent or gift? I really don’t know). It has landed on page 1 Google search ‘de-stressing life and positive living’. I still need to enrich my vocabulary more, as my writing seems restricted with same words. Ok, this is looking long now. See you later,
Jenny/jen090
Hi Jen,
The purpose of any website should be to help people. All successful businesses are built off of this, regardless of the “niche”. A niche is a group of people looking for something, so I would suggest to you that you define this early on and decide on what group of people you are going to help on your website.
Apply your love to writing to something much more specific and you will be much more successful online.
Kyle,
You have been able to quantify what was once a true HTML nightmare into simplicity, by directing me to WordPress.
Thanks so much.
I personally was not aware, how thoroughly complete WordPress had become with regard to easily built professional websites until I followed your guidance.
Your information is invaluable to anyone with the desire to succeed in the world of internet marketing and commerce.
Gary
There is a reason why 30% of all the websites in the world are now using WordPress as their framework. That layered with the website and hosting platform at Wealthy Affiliate, everything you need is in one place and the technology has truly been removed from the website creation process. Anyone can create a website and a beautiful one at that.
Hello Kyle, This is really awesome and well written post. It gives me very clear information 🙂 . Thanks a lot buddy.
Hi, Kyle!
I totally following you at wealthy affiliate and getting started. The great thing is that I have created my own site and I am very excited about that.
Looking forwards for more tutorial in this case.
Thanks for great work!
Nice work Santosh and congrats on getting your website up and running!
Hey Kyle
Once again, very informative as usual. I am learning so much from you and this organization. Joining Wealthy Affiliate is the best decision I have ever made.
Thanks again.
Awesome Eva, glad you are enjoying yourself at Wealthy Affiliate and making some wonderful progress!
Hello Kyle,
Thanks for another great article. I must tell you that I’ve used the acquired knowledge gained from your sites to fine-tune my existing WordPress online business websites, since joining WA.
Thanks again for your generosity.
This is a great way to get started building any type of blog you want, for free! Thanks for sharing this helpful information and keep up the good work.=)
That is a comprehensive and well constructed arguement for using WordPress and WA. Well done. I’m sold. Now to produce something as informative with your help.
Absolutely, WordPress is the way to go these days and there is a reason why close to 30% of ALL websites in the world (out of billions) are built on the wordpress platform. I know you are really going to move mountains at WA once you get rolling Simon!
Thanks for sharing this Kyle.
Your post is very informative and it’s really clear to those newbies out there who want to start out with a website from scratch and for free but don’t know how to do it.
When I started out online, I too had no idea of where to begin with a website but luckily I found Wealthy Affiliate and was shown the way.
Thank You, Neil
No problem Neil, glad you found WA. Building websites does not have to be difficult these days and you no longer need to be techy to create beautiful looking websites.
I had almost given up on the internet as a platform for earning money when I chanced upon Wealthy Affiliate. So glad that after seeing so many scams, I finally lucked out by ending up at the real thing.Such community support and training will not be found anywhere. I always wanted my own website, Wealthy Affiliate has shown me how-in the most simple and lucid way possible.
So wonderful to hear Mahevash, I am truly glad you are enjoying WA and you are making such wonderful progress with your websites.
I have found found it very easy to create a website with WordPress and Wealthy Affiliate has been a godsend! Thank you for this wonderful work you are doing. Keep it up!
So awesome to hear and glad you are enjoying the website builder! It really is that easy isn’t it. Anyone can create a website in 30 seconds or less, a fully functional, hosted, secure WordPress website using the platform at Wealthy Affiliate.
Hello Kyle, It is indeed a piece a cake to build a WordPress site. And the best thing about is that one is able to change the Theme. I did it 4 times until I found one I really like. Not because the others where not good enough, I was just looking for something with more flexibility. I settled on PLATFORM and created a custom menu in just 5 minutes. Only thing I have not figured out yet is to make the main menu buttons NOT CLICKABLE when there are sub items under it. I.E. I want a Menu button NOT based on a page. Is that possible?
However, it’s almost Christmas Eve and time to get an eye shut. Merry Christmas
If you want to make the main menu items non clickable John, you will want to make the menu item URL:
#
This will make it so that it is not linked to anything. Great to hear that you are enjoying the piece of cake process at WA and I wish you a wonderful holiday season and a spectacular 2014!
Hey Kyle,
Good Reading and slowly grasping wordpress.The way the lessons are broken down really helps me out a lot being new and all. Good job!!
Glad you are enjoying the training at Wealthy Affiliate Scott. WordPress as with anything new is going to have a learning curve, but you have all the personal support, training and live help you need at WA if you ever have any questions.
Happy website building!
Hi Kyle,
To make up my mind two questions on this moment:
1. Can I use my wordpress site/blog (see enclosed link).
2. How much time a day / week do I have to spend on creating and make everything working? I now have a fulltime job that’s why.
Regards,
Nico
Hey Nico,
You can absolutely use your existing blog if you like with the training you are going to get at Wealthy Affiliate or you can start a brand new blog. Within the Starter membership, you get 2 fully functional WordPress blogs.
In regards to the time, this is up to you. The more time and hard work you invest into YOUR business, the better it will do. I started when I was full time in school and I can tell you that you can accomplish a lot, in particular when you know the “correct’ way to do things online. These are things that I will help you with inside of WA and that you are going to be walked through right away with our initial 10 lesson Getting Started (video/text based) training course.
I have not yet gone into the Wealth website, and just wish to know whether one also makes money with the Wealthy Affiliate programme…. assuming of course one does…. and how it works…. I have just spent eons on the internet, and brain into overdrive, so just want the low-down before I loggon there, and do some more research…. Thanks
Yes, we have many “full time” affiliates within Wealthy Affiliate through our affiliate program. There is no obligation to promote us at all though, if you have a niche that is more interesting to you then that may be a better option. I would suggest you setup a starter account. I know you will love it Charzi!
Great post Kyle! I’ve created dozens of sites in the past and this has been the easiest and yet most comprehensive lesson I’ve come across. I have just about everything set up and I’m in the process of creating and adding content to my site. looking forward to more great lessons!
That is excellent to hear Roland, if you like this you are going to love the training that you will be getting inside of Wealthy Affiliate.
Hi Kyle, Your assistance is really great in all aspects, from building website to traffic building and finally success. Thank you so much. You, i mean Wealthy Affiliate literally opened my eyes on internet marketing and i know understand what the real online business is. But the more you open my eyes, the more difficult it seems to be, since i now have a clear picture of what i should do to succeed online. That is the magic formula of online business for those who look for it. The magic is very simple – hard work and patience.
Hi Kyle, You certainly make it look easy to build your own website. As easy as it is, I still had a few problems but thanks to the members and you, I got most of them solved.
I hope I improve with my content writing and overall website appearance.
Glad you got this sorted Vel and if you ever need a hand with anything going forward, touch base with me inside of WA!
Hi Kyle
Thanks for the informative information. I am loving your site.
Quick question though, would you recommend other website builders? Or do you think I should just stick with wordpress.
Kyle, I just wanted to say thank you for saving me from the Empower Network. I have been hounded by them for weeks and was ready to join tonight. I decided to Google them first and came across your site. Wow, I am so glad I did. I have learned so much from you in a short amount of time. I will be joining WA today. Thanks again, I look forward to learning all that you have to offer now and in the future. Thanks for giving back, it is what our world should be all about.
Michele Neal
No problem Michele, what you get for free at WA is far more than you will get for the “all in” within EN. $5,000 vs free, I think that is an easy choice.
Thanks for sharing this Kyle! I have been looking for a way to simplify the website creation process.
No problem, there is no easier way to get a website up and running than within Wealthy Affiliate.
This is an excellent website you made,Kyle, for people wanting to create a site. You have a great program over at Wealthy Affiliate and of all the website builders I have used over the years, there has never been any that are as easy and of high quality that you guys are offering. Thanks for all you offer. It’s a big help.
Thanks John, really glad you are enjoying Wealthy Affiliate and the website builder (SiteRubix). Our goal is to take the technology out of building websites and we truly feel we have done that with SiteRubix with a lot of awesome innovations still to come!
Building and creating websites are as easy as the videos show but where is the video that show how to customize the website??
As you work through the training inside of Wealthy Affiliate (under the Get Started Here button), it is going to walk you through the process of setting up your website, getting it SEO ready, creating content, and as the training goes on we are going to be detailing ways to monetize your website.
Thanks for this Kyle, i really find your articles informative and easy to read, great content, thanks for sharing. You make it sound so easy lol!! Keep it up:)
That is because it doesn’t really have to be that difficult Anjum. A lot of the time people overcomplicate the process and lose sight of the fact that when you are in business, you are working with people. As soon as you humanize all of your process and make your goal helping people versus making money, is typically when (believe it or not) you make money.
Great article Kyle. I have enjoyed using WordPress as it makes setting up a website so easy. Am finding the inability to be able to format (like in MS Word) frustrating at the moment though. Keep the great content rolling. Cheers Kate
You will get the hang of the editor inside of WordPress. Although it is a little different than that of MS Word, it won’t take you long to become very proficient in it.
As someone who follows your layout ideas for website Kyle with good success, I can vouch for all the recommendations on this page and more importantly the whole website.
WordPress really is imperative for website success nowadays because it gives you a good foundation in the beginning even if you have little/no experience in making websites.
Absolutely. There is a reason we chose this as our CMS platform at Wealthy Affiliate and a reason that of all the websites in the world, 18% of them are now using WordPress as their framework.
Great article, very informational but easy to read. I have to agree that anyone can build a website – I come from practically no internet experience (besides the usual surfing, social networking type of things) with a degree in Psychology and I have built a website with word press and wealthy affiliates. Very easy with the training. I think that if I had to do it by myself I’d be searching youtube for instructional videos constantly and it’d take a lot longer (but that’s just me).
Wonderful to hear Hillary. Things have sure changed from when I started out back in 2002. It used to take me a couple weeks to create a website that would have looked ridiculous in today’s website world.
Glad you are enjoying Wealthy Affiliate and you were able to get your very own website up and running so easily.
Hi Kyle,
If I join wealthy affiliate, will I be able to backup/download all data in the wordpress websites I fill up with content?
Thanks!
Joe
Yes, you can download your content through WordPress even as a Wealthy Affiliate Starter member (with your 2 free websites). And if you are Premium, you have full control over your websites and you can host unlimited domains and build unlimited free websites as well. Hope this helps you out Joe.
Hi Kyle, the you write is very fluent, you obviously have a passion for what you do.
Although WordPress is very user friendly, do you think it could be simplified even more so?
Thanks in advance.
Pete
I can tell you that when I started out Peter, creating a website was a hell of a task. There were time when it took me a week to set up just the framework of a website, from the menus to the images, to the buttons and graphic..and this is without any content. These days with the website builder at Wealthy Affiliate and the framework at WordPress, this can be done in less than a minute.
So where I am coming from, this has been drastically simplified. Could they improve their system, yes…and they always are with every update. WordPress is definitely the way to go these days and it is the website platform used by over 18% of all websites out there (and growing).
I had a question for you regarding the Premium Membership and website building/hosting…Are these sites on different class C IP addresses?
Yes, our hosting is cloud based and have wide ranges of IP’s. In saying this, IP is not a “ranking” factor any longer in Google so if you are using this as weight in respect to getting ranked, you are relying on old data and information.
Our hosting is Premium, just like the service you will come to expect within WA. Unlike all the other shared hosting accounts out there, we have very strict policies in respect to domain counters, have tight controls on monitoring, and ensure maximum performance for those using our services Nathan (and we offer 24/7/365 hosting support).
Kyle i love the way you write it always sounds so interesting. Do you write your content and then tweak it, or just write and go?. I find myself reading my pages over and over and spotting typos, re-writing, editing…. do you think this comes with experience?
They always say a good writer needs to read a lot, do you think this is the same with websites, do you review many?
kind regards
Sharon
My initial write I don’t focus so much on the actual grammar/spelling. I choose about 5 topics per page then I write it out. I come back and edit it, add relevant images, and then publish it. I don’t really try to perfect content too much as I let my readers determine what is a good article and which one missed the mark.
It is always good to read, I am an advocate of reading regularly.
My website is currently hosted at bigcommerce for $24.99/month and I am thinking of switching over to wordpress to save money. Do you think the transition will be beneficial
Switching to WordPress, but at Wealthy Affiliate you can host and create unlimited websites within our Premium membership. This also includes full training, full access to support, keyword and research tools, and access to 13 classrooms which will expand your knowledge. It is definitely something that you should consider if you want to advance your skills and build out your existing business. You are definitely paying too much just for hosting at the moment.
Thanks for the great information Kyle. It’s wonderful to see someone who is so willing to share their knowledge.
No problem, always here to give you a hand if you need anything in respect to building your website or your business online.
Very nice site Kyle. Very informative. Keep adding new information on the good and the bad programs out there.
It will be my constant effort going forward Steve, thanks for your feedback and if you ever have a questions about building an online business, building a successful website, or what programs to avoid…just give me a shout.
Hi Kyle, never knew that building a website could be so simple. I have finally chosen my own domain name. If I use WA as my web hosting, would there be a fee to switch to another web hosting such as Hostgator?
You can host any sites that you like within WA, including existing sites. There is no transfer fee to use the hosting, but you would be responsible for transferring the website (we have training on how to do this within WA). Also, if there is no website on the domain yet, it is a very simple transfer of DNS settings. This is covered within Wealthy Affiliate as well and will make more sense once inside.
Hi Kyle,
This site is sure coming along. My site is up and it’s focus will be online resources for people that want to learn to draw. I’m trying to target it for those people that have no formal training, are self directed learners, and don’t have the financial means to join formal Art Classes, Art Groups etc. Basically, trying to make their journey with art a little easier by providing all the resources that I used to learn in one place. I also want to be adding WAU as an integral part of the site for it is also an important part of my journey as well — I couldn’t provide these services if I didn’t join and begin learning about building a website.
I have linked the main site to Stumble Upon under the category of drawing. Of all I’ve read so far at WAU, I haven’t run into any market value for Stumble Upon. Do you have any help or suggestions on using SU? The reason I’m asking is because that’s how I found WA in the first place. I stumbled the home business area of Stumble Upon and found another site that was directly promoting WA.
I think that I’m at the point with my site that I need to focus on Art Content first, and then merge in the themes as posts and pages for all the framework is ready for the themed posting.
Anyway, thanks for this has been a great learning experience so far.
Frank
Stumble Upon will have very little benefit to your website Frank. It can help with indexing and can lead to a marginal increase in traffic (if it gets picked up), however using bookmarking services like Stumble Upon are more for getting your site indexed quicker, which is more of a brand new website problem. Once your website establishes authority in Google, every new page that you create will get indexed very quickly.
Nice work on your progress Frank, it is great to see that you are taking action on the training within WA and your site is definitely building out very nicely. Thanks for stopping by.
Kyle, thanks for your wonderful information about WordPress. This is my first time building a site, so any help is wonderful! Thanks for an easy start!
No problem Donna, there is also lots of WordPress help and support within Wealthy Affiliate if you ever need it. The first time you build a site “everything” can appear to be quite the learning experience, but as you move forward lots of the things are going to become second nature.
Very good page with a lot of useful content ! I even got some of the information and the structure of the site to make my own. Just the comment section I can’t fix. This one is awesome, but I cant figure it out how to make mine to look good? Again Nice page 🙂
The comment section on WordPress blogs is usually controlled by the actual theme you choose. Perhaps you want to choose a different theme. Also, if you send me the specific issue that you are having with your comment area, I will be able to help you out. Just let me know Boris.
One of the aspects I’ve found difficult to accomplish while building a website is to include a video from youtube relevant to the niche/topic of the website under construction and install a link on the video itself in order to promote certain product/program. Could I get any feedback on this subject?
Within a Youtube video there is “Embed Code”. If you are working with a WordPress site, you can copy and paste this code to your page or post within the editor, but make sure you are under the “Text” tab in the editor, not the “Visual”. Hope this helps Joseph.
Hi Kyle, You definitely have a great way of delivering your message. I have been using the “ithreeTheme” theme on my WP blogs to date, and my host provider is GVO’s Host Then Profit. I was getting a LOT of Error Messages and comments that my site was slow to load. Have you any experience of GVO hosting? I’d like to hear any comments about their hosting, etc… I’m now creating a couple of free Wealth Affiliate websites using your amazing theme and training, and I’m really impressed with everything so far. Thank You!
That is wonderful to hear. I think that you are going to continue to be impressed with the website builder at WA and the powerful hosting offered, even within the free starter membership.
I am constantly amazed at how you put things together. I have been using WordPress for a few years now and I’m amazed at how versatile and easy it is to use for new people.
There are some quirks that sometimes require a bit of advanced knowledge to sort through.
Fortunately, at Wealthy Affiliate there are people that can help sort out any issues that crop up.
It honestly is the most robust platform out there. It has made web development something that everyone can do and something that everyone can be good at. Installation can be the only tricky part and this is completely taken care of folks in a simple “wizard”, 3 click set-up. It doesn’t get any easier than that!
Hey Kyle, just have a quick question.
How do you get the link to the video to appear like that rather than simply as a link?
Currently fleshing out my website and looking to post some videos in the way you have them above.
Thanks,
Evan
You will want to take a screenshot of the video within WA, then you will import that image into your content. Then instead of linking via a text link, you can link your image of the video to the actual video within WA.
Hope this helps you out Evan.
Question – How do I get my picture to show up next to my comments?
This is actually called a gravatar. You will need a WordPress.com account in order to get one of these and there is actually an excellent video within Wealthy Affiliate outlining the process of setting up a gravatar.
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/gravatars-how-to-add-a-gravater
Hope this helps you out Skip!
WordPress definitely makes it easy to build websites. I have to admit I have never built a website just using html.
I have tried making simple squeeze pages using html editors and that frustrated me. I can’t imagine spending 30 days working with html code, I think I would have a nervous break down…lol.
Yeah, any level of technical knowledge can now build a very appealing and successful website online. The playing field has been levelled and if you leverage tools like the WordPress Express system at Wealthy Affiliate, it will literally take tasks that used to take weeks and simplify it into a few minutes. Once you go WordPress, it is very difficult to go back to anything else.
Hi Kyle, I love the way you make things simple and gradual. I had to learn that in order to get the look I want, I need first a good foundation. So it is also good to read why you need certain things, like most important things you mention you need, before you can improvise and fly.
Too many times people try to build a “skyscraper” before they have a foundation. Like the real world, this always ends up in failure. Without the proper knowledge, without the proper tools, and without a website, you cannot expect to achieve much success in the online world. It is not difficult to get this in place and that is why I try to get folks over to Wealthy Affiliate because as a “FREE” member they are going to be able to get all of this accomplished and do so within their first week.
Thanks for your feedback Emma!
Hi Kyle,
How do I get in touch with support because I came on last August as a free member, did my 10 day course but did not have to join at that time then I received an email about the Boot Camp course and I am now on lesson 7 but I cannot join in on the discussion nor any chat sessions, is this because I have not upgraded yet. It stated that the Bootcamp course was free but I cannot reach anybody directly. what should I do?
James
Hey James,
This happened because you were reported multiple times for spam within Wealthy Affiliate. As you may know, Wealthy Affiliate has a no spam policy so please refrain from promoting products/services within the community. I have turned your access back on, so you will be able to post and comment again.
I’m always jealous of your posts as they are always so fluid, informative and to the point without being a sales page.
Thanks Neil for your feedback. The key to a successful site has little to do with the promotions and a lot to do with the content delivery and how much you are really helping someone. My goal is to always help people within any content that I create on my websites, even when I am promoting something I try to “show them” instead of “tell them”. Makes a big difference.
Hi Kyle. Thanks for sharing. I really like your tagline “Your Personal Online Watchdog”. It was a similar site that brought me to WA and I must say these types of sites are reassuring for those of us blundering about 🙂 One question: wouldn’t you want your tabs darker so they attract the eyes? When I first came to your site my eyes went right over them to the picture and to the other text in bold. On the other hand, shows the value of pictures.
The focus of my site is my content, not my menu. The menu is used if people enjoy my content and in some cases, want more information because my content is incomplete. My first and foremost focus on my site though is to deliver quality content to people and to make that the focus of my page. That is where conversions take place and that is where the visitor engagement and trust is built.
Hope this helps.
Hi Kyle This was very informative about building a website, one thing I didn’t consider about a good website is the speed and load time. I was using a theme that loaded slow, I just went to my site to change it, know I found a faster loading theme, thanks for the info.
Yeah, some themes can definitely load slower than others. Do take note that if you have too many plugins installed, that will also slow down your website performance.
If your website loads slow and you are not using quality hosting like the hosting offered at Wealthy Affiliate, your business can be adversely affected. If you think about what you did last time you visited a site that took forever to load (probably left), you can get a good idea what your visitors will do if your site loads slow.
Especially gotta love NEW technology. Always moving forward and improving. 🙂
For the question: In WordPress on the page you are working on you have a place to put the name of the page (located above the permalink)and this always shows up as the H1 tag. But I noticed on this page you don’t have that. So I was wondering how you remove the name of the page from showing up as an H1 tag.
I hope I explained it right.
Thanks so much for the feedback and the willingness to help.
~ Audrey
How your titles display is dependent on the theme that you choose. Each theme will display this different, in the case of my theme it is not showing it at all. Once you get a bit more advanced you will be able to edit the .php pages within your WordPress theme to remove things like this, I am by no means against having the title of your page within the content. In many cases this can be a good thing.
Thanks Kyle for clarifying. I actually know a little bit about .php so I might look into taking that away. I know on my Home page I don’t want that title showing up so I’ll mess around with the child stylesheet and see if I can’t get that to go away.
Thanks again for answering and following through on my question.
You ROCK!!!
~ Audrey
No problem, and it is completely fine if you have your “title” at the top of all your pages. Almost all themes have this by default and it lets people know what you are talking about (the theme of your post or page). The posts on this blog have the title within the header.
Any other questions, just let me know Audrey 🙂
Hey Kyle, I remember the days of coding with HTML also and you are right, we have come such a long way since then.
What a great write up and an accurate view of WordPress.
I was wondering if you could help me with one thing in WordPress I can’t seem to figure out. How did you get rid of the Title “Build a Website” from where it usually places it in the top left hand side of each page?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone build a website as quick as you did in that video…Great Job!!
Audrey
Yeah, I remember back when I started it literally took me a month sometimes to get a site to a place where I felt that it was ready to roll out. I had to do everything, from the graphic design, template design, HTML (and sometimes PHP)…and my sites still looked sub par. Thankfully there are frameworks like WordPress and website creators like the one at Wealthy Affiliate that have taken ONE MONTH…and made this same process 5 minutes. Gotta love technology.
As for your question, I am not quire sure what you are referring to when you say thee Title of Build a Website. Could you please clarify for me and I will give you a hand.
I think what Audrey means is that the wording on the Menu label “Build A Website” isn’t also showing at the top of this page where the Page Title is usually shown.
It appears that this page has no actual title.
Yeah, I got back to Rick. This lack of title is because of my theme or a setting my theme. Many themes display things like the title differently and this can usually be managed with either the theme settings or within the actual editor of the theme (some programming knowledge usually required for that).
