Today, I want to share with you the awesome website builder that I use. WordPress is used by 60.1% of all the websites whose content management system we know. This is 30.4% of all websites according to w3techs.

I started using the WordPress platform back in 2007 and it was established in 2003. I had looked around for the longest to find something that did not require coding although I had a degree in Computer Science.

It’s something that I refer all my clients to because it’s easier now to build a website that it ever was in history. There are so many themes that run on top of this platform that you no longer need a web developer unless your business has gotten so big that you don’t have the time to maintain it.

In business? A website is a must-have asset. It’s where potential clients will find and get to know you. It’s the first place referrals will turn to learn more about you. It’s where you’ll sell your products and services, invite contact requests, brand yourself in your niche, and show off what you know. It might also be where you host your webinars, offer group coaching programs, publish a podcast, create a blog, and even set appointments with clients.

Whew! That’s a lot of jobs for a single website to do. If you choose a versatile content management system such as WordPress though, you can easily incorporate those tasks and so much more.

If you are not sure how-to setup your WordPress website then I want to give you your first boost since you may be just starting an online business.

Fast and Easy Website Setup

In the time it takes to finish your morning coffee, you can have a website created and live on the Internet using WordPress. Most hosting companies offer “one-click installs” for WordPress, meaning it will take only about 5 minutes to create your website. From there, it’s a matter of choosing a theme and adding content.
Even if you’re not technically inclined, WordPress is simple to use. And with a huge, helpful community of users, you can quickly find the answer for everything from “how do I install WordPress” to “how can I create a membership site” with just a Google search.

Your Site, Your Style

With thousands of free and premium themes available, it’s easy to find a look that’s just right for your brand and business. Want something more customized? Many themes offer easy, drag-and-drop editing of layouts, colors and more, but if you want something designed just for you, there are thousands of capable developers to build you a custom design.

Here are a few sites that can offer you a variety of great themes that are sure to fit your need and personality. Check these out!

ColorLib – Most of these themes are FREE so if you are on a budget then you can start here.

ElegantThemes – I use this one with the DIVI Layout Pack. I have found this one to be perfect for the things I need to get done and to share with you.

Envato.com – This site has so much to offer from themes to plugins to graphics. It’s a hidden jewel in the online presence arena.

Of course, you don’t have to go with any of these but I like to point you in the right direction to save you “time and money”.

Plugins Add Greater Flexibility

Originally designed as a blogging platform, WordPress earned its early popularity by making this rather technical chore easy for thousands of new bloggers. Today it’s no longer known as just a blogging tool. Instead, site owners use WordPress as the basis for:

• Shopping carts
• Membership sites
• Sales pages
• Wikis
• Personal journals
• Online directories
• Non-profit fundraising
• Video blogging
• Podcasting
• News sites
• Recipe blogs
• Photography sites
• And dozens of others

The combination of themes and plugins—small software add-ons that install directly into your WordPress site—make the possibilities nearly endless, so no matter what you need a website to do, chances are good that WordPress can handle it.
