How To Build A Website in 10 Minutes (Wordpress Tutorial 2024)

hey my name is Mike and in this video I'll be showing you how to make a professional website in just 10 minutes so I've made hundreds of websites but most people always assume that it takes hours and hours to make one it takes thousands of dollars in coding expertise the truth is that's all wrong I'm going to show you in this video exactly how you can make a website in just 10 minutes and we're starting on my laptop right now so to get started we'll go to centralmedia.com hostinger that's our partner link we worked with them to get you guys the best deal and I'll show you how to save money in just a minute you can also copy and paste the link from our description or just click on that and it'll bring you to this page here we'll click on claim deal and there are three different options I'm gonna go with the middle one of course read through these and figure out what the differences are for yourself then we can choose the duration it doesn't matter which of these you choose except do not choose the one month you're going to spend way more money on that there's a setup fee you're gonna have to pay for a domain and in the end it's gonna be like forty dollars for one month or you could pay basically that same amount of money for for an entire year so you're saving a lot of money with that I recommend going with one of these three for me if I know I'm going to keep a website for a long time I just get the 48 months now we can create our account now I'll type in my payment information but do not click submit just yet so before you click submit make sure you click on have a coupon code and now we're going to type in central 10 that'll give you 10 off this entire order which again if you're getting four years is 10 off the next four years and now we can click submit and that'll prompt us to make a password then we can click on start now we can skip all of this stuff we don't care about any of that and I'll show you how to make a website in a second and now we want to claim our free domain if you got the at least one year up to four years you will have a free domain let's say it's like a protein supplement company so I'm just going to call this Central supplements see if that's available.net we actually want.com search and you can always check out these domains in other places or buy them other places and import them but you are getting a free domain with hostinger so that's why I'm going to choose that one now we can choose our location enter our contact details and then we can finish the setup all right so now we can go to manage site on the left side we can click on website and we can go down to Auto installer this is going to install WordPress very easily like we're not going to do anything we'll click on select for WordPress and now we can choose our website title and now we can choose the admin name the password for WordPress is a different account here keep in mind we can choose the website title and then we can just say next now we'll say install and it's going to be installing WordPress on this website I promise this is going to get very very easy in just a minute great so now we have WordPress on our website we could either click edit website right there or what I want to show you for future reference is you just type in your domain so central supplements.com slash WP Dash admin for WordPress administrator hit enter and it'll take you to this login page this is how you'll access your website every time in the future and that'll bring you to the WordPress dashboard which I know might look intimidating but we want to go down here to appearance click on themes and we're going to be installing something called Astra so we'll click on add new on the top we'll go to Astra which is on the right you can also search for it we will click install and then don't just go out of this you have to make sure you click activate it's going to require activation we'll click activate this is free to use of course WordPress in general it's free to use pretty much everything in this video from now on is free to use so the 172 dollars I showed you before really was the extent of things now over here we'll go to Astra we'll click on that we'll go to dashboard and down here we want to go to install Starter template so right there it's going to be installing and we can build the entire website based on somebody else's template so it's going to save us a ton of effort we're going to click on Elementor that is the website builder will be using within WordPress and now you can go through these templates and find one that makes sense for you so we're selling online I'm going to search for I'm going to search for supplements so this website could be absolutely anything you want but for this I'm actually selling something so I'm going to go to online shop we'll click on that and we'll find one that makes sense for us so you'll notice some of these are free and some of these are premium but I actually found this one right here organic store makes perfect sense for what I'm selling and this one's free to use now we can upload our logo so I will just upload this logo right here we can select it now that's ready to go we can choose how wide the logo is on the top I think that's probably a good size there we'll say continue we can change our colors this is a red logo so I want a red based website I think that looks pretty clean with this and down here we can choose our font pairing as well so maybe we want that font something a little bit larger a little more bold and now we can submit and build my website and just like that we have a website ready to go let's click on view of your website but we're not obviously done yet this is not our stuff but you can see overall like it's it's pretty well made everything's there we have different pages we have a checkout page we have our logo which links back to the home page but now let's talk about editing this which just quick little crash course if we click on edit with Elementor we can edit the entire website so on any page this is really just a drag and drop editor which is why we liked using Elementor like I said free to use and the way it works is you have what's called a section layout so you have this entire section here outlined in pink and then you go down here this is an entire section basically anything with a different background is a unique section within each section you have columns and you have elements so this has two columns here outlined in Gray and within each column you have several different elements so we've got a little picture we have text we've got more text we have a button and anything you want to add is on the left side so if I wanted another button in here I could just click and drag the button over there and it'll drop it in there if I want to remove something I can click on the pencil icon or sorry I could right click on the pencil icon click on delete and that'll get rid of it if we want to edit any text you can simply double click on the text and you can change what that actually says so now another thing to note is if we want to rearrange these so let's say maybe we want this section right here to be below this section down here you can very simply click and drag with these six dots and just drop it down there and it'll move exactly where you want it we can also add sections in between by clicking the plus and we can either choose some pre-made ones we can have our own templates or we could just start with a blank one which again you can choose if you want one column two columns two columns that aren't exactly symmetrical and you can also readjust where that is where that boundary is just by clicking and dragging so just to kind of go a little further with this if we want to have a heading on the left side and then click on the nine dot array maybe we want an image below that you can go and drop an image below it accidentally drop the image next to it so let's drag it over to under it there we go we have an image right there and now let's go and add maybe a button underneath that so we can click and drag a button down there and then maybe on the right side we just want to have a paragraph so you can go and add text editor on the right side now with any one of you simply click on them you can adjust everything on the left side choose the image you can change like the font you can choose what that text is actually going to say again all of that over on the left side now other than that we want to make sure this is very very important always click the update Button as frequently as possible to make sure you are saving your work and this is absolutely essential most people forget to do this because they assume everybody will be looking at their website on a desktop like this when in fact many people will be viewing it on mobile so if we click on responsive mode this bar pops up on the top we can click on mobile and it'll show us the mobile view of our website so this is really important to always check this out and it is something you don't like for example maybe I just really don't like this section or this element or this whatever this column you can click on that so if we click on the six dots for the section I'll show you how to hide the section on mobile and the same is true if you do an element like I said we can go over to Advanced we can go down to responsive and then we can say hide on mobile portrait so we hide on mobile that will now be gone but if we don't want to hide that let's say whatever we can keep that but we just don't want this image you can click on the pencil icon go to Advanced and once again responsive and hide on mobile you can do the same thing on desktop if you want something only on mobile and now I think this is really important if we click on the three bars we can go to exit we can exit to the WordPress dashboard so a quick little crash course on the WordPress dashboard the posts are going to be any of your blog posts if you go to all posts you can see all the ones you have you can add a new one or we could select the ones we don't like and move them to trash because those are just examples similarly we can go down to pages and these are all the static pages on your website not blog posts but think of the big ones like the about page the home page and different things like that again when you get a template a lot of these are going to be pre-populated so make sure you go through in any of them that you haven't updated make sure you update them and any ones that you don't need make sure you go and delete them and then down here a lot of these are just plugins that we have so we have woocommerce for example cart flows any of the plugins you don't want you can go down to plugins and the idea is to have as few necessary plugins as possible you don't want to have a ton that are useless so if we if we don't want cart flows for example we can select it we can deactivate it and then of course we could also move it to trash so now that it's deactivated we can click on delete and we can say okay and now cart flows will be moved to trash now if you want to add new plugins you can click on add new on the top and there are a ton that you can browse from many of these are free to use as well or freemium they might have a paid version as well as a free version and the last thing I want to show you is actually down in settings when you go to settings you want to make sure that you have your site title named that's correct we want to make sure that the WordPress address has an s in it that's that's how you know you have SSL like that right there so now we'll save changes okay now we want to go down to permalinks and you want to make sure that the permalinks is selected to this one right here post name that's going to be the easiest one for managing all the different pages on your website and of course you want to make sure you go down and save changes and that's kind of a quick crash course of how to use WordPress now we have a full tutorial if you want some more in-depth training on how to use Elementor I'll link that in the description below but more or less we have a website that is ready to go in just 10 minutes all you have to do is change your text change your images on here and your website with your domain and your
