The WordPress Customizing Series

Hello everyone, it’s been a long time since I’ve blogged here. It’s been difficult to enter into my account since someone attempted to hack it, but I’m back now. I have a lot to talk about today.

I wanted to expand my understanding of WordPress and learn more about how to create a beautiful website that will entice visitors to want to remain on it, so I went to YouTube and found this video that piqued my interest.

 

I began personalizing my website by first modifying the theme. I make the decision to download Astra. Astra is a stunning WordPress theme that is fast, highly adaptable, and appropriate for a blog, personal portfolio, company website, and WooCommerce marketplace. It is really light.

 

I choose to download a beginning template that will provide me with website template possibilities that I may customize for my own website. This is referred to as a beginning template.  With the Starter Templates plugin, you can create professional-looking, pixel-perfect websites in minutes. This plugin offers me access to 280+ pre-made whole website templates and individual pages for Elementor, Beaver Builder, and the Block Editor, which are my favorite page builders. I was able to choose a free template to assist my website get started with this plugin.

To reproduce the image above, I convert it to this image. I want my homepage to be the first thing people see.

I also use Elementor to create and update my pages. Elementor is a drag-and-drop WordPress page builder. Using a visual editor, this plugin allows you to build stunning pages. It’s made to let you easily create dynamic websites.

 

I also decided to do a little blog example on my website just to see what my website will look like if I decided to post anything and it came out great. I was able to find some free images in pixels which can save me from getting copyrighted.  

Even tho i’m not done editing this my website but i wanted to show you guys the progress. I hope everyone have a great day.

I also like how you took the extra step and watched videos on how to edit your site to your liking which I will be watching as well. Other than that, I can’t wait to go on your site and try out some recipes!
