Once you have installed WordPress on your Linux Hosting, you can begin creating your website. Here are the typical tasks you should accomplish, along with links to articles and videos that will guide you through each step.
Pick The Template
WordPress utilizes themes to shape the appearance and functionality of your website. A theme is automatically installed and activated by default, but you have the option to switch to another theme that aligns better with your site’s needs.
When you first log into your site, the theme comes with various pre-designed templates to select from. You can opt for a configuration that includes or excludes an online store, as well as choose a category that fits your business type. For instance, if you own a law firm or a bookkeeping agency, consider selecting a professional template featuring navy blue or dark gray tones. Conversely, for a travel blog or a children’s clothing store, opt for vibrant hues. For health-related professions, blue and green would be suitable choices.

Install Plugins
A theme influences the visual appearance of your site, whereas a plugin provides additional features to WordPress. For instance, if you’re looking for a contact form, enhanced security, or a simple method to create backups, you can accomplish this by installing and activating a plugin.
Upload Images and Other Media
Visuals can enhance your website’s appeal and help it become more distinctive. Here’s how to add optimized images and other media to your WordPress library.
Add & Design Your Pages
Once you create a new page, you can customize it by adding and modifying various pre-designed blocks. Here’s How to Add Different Layout Blocks in WordPress.
Set Up Home Page and Blog Page
Typically, WordPress displays the most recent posts on the homepage. If you prefer not to use a blog layout for your homepage, you can replace it with a static page and select a specific page for your blog.
Create a Navigation Menu
A navigation menu assists users in finding key pages on your website.
