1. Install a Simple Theme
You don’t need to design your own theme from scratch; there are plenty of free and paid themes available that can give you a professional look without breaking the bank.
- Choose a pre-designed theme that suits your website’s purpose (e.g., business, blog, portfolio).
- Install it using WordPress.com or self-hosted installation methods.
- Customize it to some extent with basic settings and widgets.
2. Set Up Basic SEO Settings
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is crucial for any website, but you don’t need to be an expert to get started. Follow these simple steps:
- Create a sitemap and submit it to Google Search Console.
- Set up basic metadata tags like title, description, and keywords.
- Edit your WordPress settings > Permalinks to use clean URLs (e.g., ‘blog-post-title’ instead of ‘?page=123).
