• What is Content Management System (CMS)?
• The Content Management System (CMS) is a software which stores all the
data such as text, photos, music, documents, etc. and is made available on
your website.
• CMS is a software application that allows users to create, manage, and
modify digital content without extensive technical knowledge.
• It helps in editing, publishing and modifying the content of the website.
• It provides a user-friendly interface, making it easy to publish and update
content on a website.
• WordPress was initially released on 27th

Mike Little.
• WordPress was announced as open source in October 2009.
• Types of Content Management System (CMS)
• There are various types of CMS available, each catering to different needs
and requirements. CMS has two main categories:

and maintenance on a server. They offer more flexibility and customization
options but require technical knowledge to set up and manage.
• Cloud-based CMS: These CMS platforms are hosted in the cloud, eliminating
server setup and maintenance. They are user-friendly and offer hassle-free
experiences for beginners. However, they may have limited customization
options compared to traditional CMS.
• Benefits of using a CMS

• WordPress is a powerful Content Management publishing platform.
• It comes with a great set of features designed to make your experience as a
publisher on the Internet as easy, pleasant and appealing as possible.
• WordPress is reportedly the most popular website management or blogging
system in use on the Web, supporting more than 60 million websites.
• WordPress is completely customizable and can be used for almost anything.
• WordPress.org “powers more than 25% of the internet — with interests
ranging from the news shaping our world to personal stories that shape our
own families and lives”.
• Most of the people looking to build up websites are often enticed by the
tags “Free” and “Unlimited”.
•How to Build a Website From Scratch
• WordPress.com makes building websites simple.
• It offers power, flexibility, and ease of use to bring your digital dreams to
life, no matter what your needs are, or how much experience you have.
• With some basic knowledge and planning, there’s nothing you can’t do.
Step 1: Determine Your Website Needs and Goals
Step 2: Research Websites Similar to What You’d Like to Build
Step 3: Determine Which Pages Your Site Needs
Step 4: Plan a Basic Website Branding and Content Strategy
1. Give Your Website a Voice
2. Establish a Basic Color Scheme
3. Decide Which Types of Visuals Your Website Will
Need
Step 5: Write an Outline for Each Page on Your Site
Step 6: Create a WordPress.com Account and Choose Your
Website’s Name
Step 7: Choose Your WordPress.com Design
Step 8: Update Homepage, Create a Menu, and Add Pages
Step 9: Write Your Content in the WordPress Editor
Step 1: Determine Your Website Needs and Goals
• What would you like to achieve with your new website?
• This is the first question you should answer before moving forward. Here are
some examples:
• Attracting customers to your brick-and-mortar business
• Selling products with an online store
• Sharing your thoughts with a blog or magazine-style publication
• Building a portfolio for creative work
• Generating new subscribers for a newsletter
Step 2: Research Websites Similar to What You’d Like to Build
• You can learn a lot from analyzing what others have done before you.
• So, do some simple Google searching to find websites in your industry, market,
or niche.
• Here are some specific things you should look for:
• What types of pages do their websites include?
• What types of content are they publishing?
• What types of images or design elements do they feature?
Step 3: Determine Which Pages Your Site Needs
• Planning which pages you’ll need to create will save time later on.
• Building a simple sitemap and planning your site structure will also keep you
feeling in control once it’s time to actually create your website.
• Here are some examples of basic pages that most websites will need:
• Home Page
• About Page
• Product and Service Pages
• Testimonials Page
• Blog
• FAQ Page
• Contact and Customer Service Pages
Step 4: Plan a Basic Website Branding and Content Strategy
• Next, it’s time to set guidelines for the content that will populate your pages.
• This includes basic branding and design elements that will ensure your new
website looks and sounds its best.
• Give Your Website a Voice
• Your website content should sound like an extension of yourself or your
company (depending on whether you are building a personal or business
website).
• Establish a Basic Color Scheme
• If your company already has a visual identity, then your website should match
it. Otherwise you may need to determine which colors should be used in your
website design and graphics.
Step 4: Plan a Basic Website Branding and Content Strategy
• Decide Which Types of Visuals Your Website Will Need
• Your site is going to need some graphics.
• It’s a good idea to figure out what those graphics will be before you start
building the website.
• Here are some common examples:
• Hero spots and banner images. These will go at the top of your website
pages.
• Photography. This includes product images, photos of your business,
and staff headshots.
• Designed images. Think charts, graphs, and infographics.
Step 5: Write an Outline for Each Page on Your Site
• Before you start creating content for your website pages, you should
determine what information those pages will need to include.
• You can do this by drafting simple outlines for the structure of each page.
• Each outline should include:
• The header or title for each page
• The subheads for each page
• A description of the information each section and subsection of
website copy should include
Step 6: Create a WordPress.com Account and Choose Your Website’s Name
• Now let’s set up your WordPress.com account and decide what your website
will be called.
• Naming your new website is one of the first things WordPress.com will ask you
to do:
• Next, you’ll choose your domain.
• The default option will be [yourwebsitename].wordpress.com.
• Example : sss8840.wordpress.com
Step 7: Choose Your WordPress.com Design
• Now it’s time to choose your homepage design. WordPress.com provides tons of
options to control the appearance and structure of your homepage.
• The easiest option is to choose one from a pre-built template (or theme).
• Themes control the visual style and design of your site.
• WordPress.com offers dozens of different themes to suit all types of websites. Some
themes are free, while others are paid.
• WordPress.com offers several pricing plans to help you get started:
• Free: Create a beautiful, simple website in minutes.
• Personal: Best for a personal site.
• Premium: Best for freelancers.
• Business: Best for small business.
• Ecommerce: Best for ecommerce.
• WordPress VIP: For enterprise websites.
Step 8: Update Homepage, Create a Menu, and Add Pages
• Once you’ve completed the previous step, it’s time to add pages to your
website, and import your content.
• Since you’ve planned out which pages you need and have content ready to go,
this step will be easy.
Step 9: Write Your Content in the WordPress Editor
• You know which pages you’ll create, what should go on those pages, and how
you’d like the navigation to be structured.
• Now, it’s time to actually write and design your content.
• How you approach this will depend on your budget and resources.
• If you’re launching your website yourself, there are just a few things you’ll
absolutely need to keep in mind:
• Follow basic web writing guidelines. Keep sentences under 25 words. Use no
more than three sentences per paragraph. This will ensure your website is easy
to read.
• Remember your voice. Your website should sound like you.
• Write enough copy to cover the needs of each page. The common advice here
is to write at least 300 words of text per page.
Step 10: Launch Your New Website
• There’s much more work you can do to maximize the potential of your new
website.
• But now that you have all the basic elements in place, you’re clear to show it
to the world.
• Navigate to the home section of your dashboard, find “Launch your site to the
world” under Site Setup on the upper right side of your screen, and click
Launch Site.
