Now once, you’ve launched your site, next let’s see how you can control this website. Now as you can see here, we've got a black bar, so this means right now we're logged into wordpress, And we can make changes to this site. Now if we visit this site from a different browser you can see that, we don't see this bar here. which means others can't control your site unless they are logged in. Okay! So to control this website Let’s go here and click ‘dashboard’. It will take you to this page. Now this is the wordpress admin area, where you can control everything about your site. So for example, Here you can see that we have a sample page Now in our admin area, if we go to pages You can see that, we have the same sample page here. Now if we delete this page and click refresh You can see that the page is deleted So this is how you can control your site from the WordPress admin area Okay, Now once it’s launched, this is how the wordpress site will look like, by default. So NOW, let’s go to the second part of this video, where we see how you can make this default wordpress site Into a professional website like this. So to make this into a professional website, we’re going to do 2 steps. The 1st step is to import the design Now instead of creating our website from scratch. We're going to import a design, and then Edit it, to make our own site. Okay! So to import a design into our site, first we're going to install a theme in wordpress Okay, so to install the theme, Let’s go to our dashboard. Now go to appearance, And click themes. Now here you can see the default themes which come with wordpress. Now to add a new theme, Let’s click here And you will find different themes which are available for WordPress Now we are going to install a theme called Astra, So lets go here And then search for ‘Astra’, And you will get this theme. This is the theme which is going to help us import the design on our site. Now to install it, Let’s click install. And to apply this theme on your site, click ‘activate’. And as you can see The astra theme is now active on our website Okay! So once, you’ve installed the theme, Next we need to choose a design for our website. So to choose the design, Let’s click ‘get started’ And now, it will ask you to choose a ‘page builder’ Now these are the tools which will help you edit, your design. Now we recommend that you choose elementor here. Which makes it easy to edit your pages. So, I’m going to select ‘elementor’ And now you can see all the designs, which can be applied to your site. So have a look at these designs, And select the one you like. I’m going to choose this one And here you can see a preview of how the design looks Now to import, this design, into your site Just click ‘Import Complete Site’ And then click import. Okay! So now the design has been imported now if we go back to our site You can see that, this is how our site was before. Now if we click ‘refresh’ You can see that, We have got the exact design which we selected And we also have these other pages which also has these demo content Okay So, Once you've got the design into your site Next let’s go to step 2 of building your website Which is to edit the content. Now here you can see that we have all of this content. Now how do you edit your page, to add your own content? To edit any page on your site. You just have to go to that page and click Edit with Elementor. So let's say you want to edit the homepage. Just click ‘home’ And then click "edit with elementor". And now it will take you to this editing mode, where you can edit any part of this page. So let's say you want to change the text here. you just select the text, And then start typing anything you want So I'm going to type Hello! I Just made Launched A New Website!

So this works throughout the website. Now if you want to change this image, just click it. select the image here And then drag and drop an image from your computer So once you have done with the changes, you can save this page by clicking update And all your changes will be saved. So now if we go back to our site and click refresh you can see that all our changes have been applied Okay, so now you know how you can edit any page on your site Next we're going to see how you can change the Header area of your website. Now by choosing elementor you will able to change this part of your website. But if you want to change this area, which is the header you can do it by going to the customize option.

All you need to do is, go to new, And click page. Now let's say you want to create a service page for your website you need to first enter a title. and now to start creating your a page just click edit with "Elementor". And now, it will take you to this blank section. Now here we have 3 different ways to create your page. First you can either use these elements which are here. and then drag and drop them into this area. So for example, if you want to add a heading you can drag and drop this element here. and then enter your text. To add an image you can drag & drop this element. So drag & drop here and start creating your page Now the 2nd way to create a page is by using ‘blocks’. Blocks are ready made sections, which you can add to your page. So let’s say you want to add a section like this to your page. Just click here And now if you go to ‘blocks’ You can see different types of blocks which you can add to your page.
