WordPress and it's working?
WordPress Facts:
WordPress is software that must be installed on a web server before it can be used to create a website.
It has many built-in features.
It comes with powerful content management features.
WordPress has thousands of website designs/themes available.
WordPress has incredible expansion options. Tens of thousands of plugins are available - and most of them are free!
At least some website building skills are required to run a website with WordPress.
WordPress itself is free, but you need to invest in your own domain - for example, YourSite.com (from $ 18 per year) and a web server (from $ 9 per month). WordPress cannot work without these two things.
There is no support, in fact.
CREATING YOUR SITE
When it comes to Wix versus WordPress, getting started with WordPress is not at all what starts with Wix.Although a Wix website can be created and run in a single interface - after logging in to Wix.com - WordPress requires you to complete a couple of small tasks before you start working with a real website.
Firstly, you need to get yourself a hosting account, which means buying a subscription to the server (here is a useful guide for choosing the right one) and domain name. Then you need to connect them together, and only then you can start installing WordPress and setting up your site.
If you're lucky, your hosting company will complete all three of the following steps for you: create a hosting account, register a domain, and install a clean version of WordPress. This is actually the recommended approach, even if you are just starting out with WordPress and you have no experience creating sites.
Note. If you are not sure if your hosting company is going to solve this problem for you, contact them through the support section on their website and ask.
After going through all of the above, you can finally start working with a clean WordPress installation and turn it into a functional and beautiful website. In our confrontation between Wix and WordPress, Wix seems to come out on top in the installation department.
In the default setting, your site should be available at http://YourSite.com/ - the domain that you registered.
To start administering it, go to http://YourSite.com/wp-admin and log in using the credentials provided to you by the web host that you use. What you see is the default admin dashboard in WordPress:
What now? This is a common question at this moment.
Although this fact is difficult to swallow for some people, WordPress is not the most convenient platform for beginners. Unlike Wix, it does not take your hand in the process of creating a website. Instead, it gives you a toolbar - a powerful toolbar that you must learn to move.
1. DESIGN SELECTION
This can be done by going to Appearance> Themes (from the menu on the left), and then click Add New. Each theme that you see is available for free and can be installed in just a couple of clicks. The good thing about WordPress themes is that there are thousands available and you are sure to find one that suits your needs. The bad thing is that they all work in different ways, which means that if you learn to work with one topic, it does not mean that you can work with another. (Note Wix vs. WordPress: On Wix, all themes work the same.)
2. ADD NEW FEATURES
Themes are just one side of the WordPress customization coin. The other side is plugins. Simply put, WordPress plugins provide you with new features that are not available in WordPress out of the box.
For example, you can get plugins that take care of your site’s SEO, provide you with contact form functionality, optimize your images, enable caching and thousands - literally thousands - of other updates.
Installing plugins works just like installing themes. Just go to Plugins> Add New.
It’s a good idea to first look at the plugins listed on the popular and popular lists - both have tons of interesting (and very useful) plugins.
Again, each plugin works on its own principle, so each one has its own learning curve. Despite the fact that most plugins are very simple both in structure and in use, you can also stumble upon more complex ones (for example, for backing up a site or statistics).
In the end, creating a beautiful and functional WordPress site is just looking for a good combination of themes and plugins - WordPress is very different from Wix in this regard. Essentially, Wix helps you set everything up. WordPress leaves you alone and lets you figure it out on your own. Depending on the type of user, this can be either good or bad news.
