Building a professional website using Wordpress is very easy. I did it. So can you. You must make the effort to build your first site however basic it might be.

Don't think that you can measure up against the pros? Think again. With Wordpress you can!

With today's Web2.0 technologies you can easily create and install a professional looking website or wepage.

In the first few years, about 2003-2004, of this past decade the Internet truly came into its own and its inherent connectivity was coined Web2.0.
A Web 2.0 site is simply a site that lets you interact with others. Some of the most commonly known Web 2.0 website building platforms are Blogger.com, TypePad.com, and WordPress.com. You can create a website on these platforms for free.

Most of these free websites are hosted on the provider's hosting service. Consequently, you don't have complete control of your content. Nevertheless, you can still build a quality professional looking site. Here are three ways you can go about it.

Hire a web designer.
Learn HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).
Build your own with free software.

If you don't have a budget then the first option won't apply. If time is a constraint then the second will not apply either. You are left with the choice of the free option, Wordpress.

You will get a free download at http://wordpress.org. Remember that wordpress.org and wordpress.com are different. The dot com version is a hosted version and limits your control of the content. Do not confuse wordpress.com with wordpress.org. The dot com version is a hosted version and limits your control of the content.

The Internet and YouTube on the Internet offer a host of tutorials to help with the installation of Wordpress. Wordpress.org also has many tutorials.

The first screen you will see on your new site is the Wordpress dashboard. Use the dashboard to guide you throughout the remaining installation process. You can change the look of the website with various themes. You can add various utilities like, RSS feeds, email forms, even Googe Ads. In the beginning this may all seem a bit overwhelming. Believe me, I have been in your shoes not too long ago. You just have to take the plunge and get your feet wet.

A beginner will find installing and using Wordpress to be musch easier than attempting to build a website from scratch and learning HTML and CSS.

Free videos and tutorials are scattered throughout the Internet. The drawback is that you may find it time consuming to find the information you need in an orderly and systematic way.

There are also coaching programs available that will teach and guide you through all the processes needed to build a professional looking site within hours, not days or weeks.
