Step 1: Pick a name for your website
First, you need to go to: https://rstudio.works/#step-1 and pick a name for your website.
You can choose anything like - mywebsite.com, .net or .org etc.
This will be the domain name of your website. So, pick one and check whether it’s available or not! Once you get the one you want, you can go to the next step.
Step 2: Get Hosting https://rstudio.works/#step-2
Hosting is the place where your website’s files are stored. Once you’ve completed the purchase, you can then continue.
Step 3: Installing WordPress
WordPress is a free software (Content Management System – CMS) that can be installed and used to build a website without having any knowledge of programming or coding. After the WordPress Installation is complete, you’ll then be taken to your WordPress Dashboard. Now, this is the place from where you’ll be controlling your website. When you reach this page, your website will be LIVE! You can quickly check it, by entering your domain name. Now, to visit your WordPress Dashboard again, you can just type: yoursite.com/wp-login. Your website will now have a default WordPress Theme. You can change it, by going to the next step.
Step 4: Adding a New Theme
You can install a new theme by going to ‘Themes.’ Install the Astra Sites Plugin (which comes with the Astra theme) that will make it easy for you to customize your site. You can install this plugin, by going to ‘Plugins.’ Now, this plugin has a set of designs for your website, which you can choose & then apply it to your site. To choose the designs, you can click ‘See Library.’ Now, before you select a design, make sure you click ‘Elementor’ which will make it easy for you to edit the design. So, choose the design and import it to your site. Once, you’ve got the design with its demo content, you can then go to the final step.
Step 5: Editing the Demo Content
To edit a page, just go into the page that you want to edit and click ‘Elementor.’ You’ll then go to an editing section. Now, to edit any text, just select it, and type anything you want. To edit the header and the footer area of your website, click ‘Customize.’ To edit anything, like the logo or the menu section, just click the blue icon and make your changes. The same works-out in the footer area, also.
