If you have ever wanted to create your first website, you have come to the right place. In this course, I'll be going through how to launch your first website, from beginning to end. The best part - you do not need to purchase anything until you are ready to make your site go live. We will be creating a local WordPress development environment, customizing a theme, creating posts, and launching the site using a couple of online platforms.
If you are ready, then I'm ready. Let's make that website!
Quick Links:
When we are ready to launch our course, I recommend using Flywheel hosting: https://share.getf.ly/x98l4s
For now, we will be using a service of Flywheel's called Local to install a local development environment of WordPress so we can experiment, develop, and design without having to purchase anything. Here is a link to that: https://local.getflywheel.com/
For registering a domain, I recommend https://www.hover.com/
Note: For transparency's sake, I am an agency partner of Flywheel's and using the Flywheel affiliate link above does help support me & the creation of more courses. I recommend and use Flywheel because I believe that it is the best and for this particular workflow is most beneficial to those who are making their first website. Feel free to shop around at other options. I don't want to feel like I am being a salesman or trying to push you towards a particular option - I legitimately feel Local & Flywheel are simply the best in this case.
