It’s actually super simple to create your website without coding & I will explain how. By the end of this article, we will have a ready-to-use website that you will be the proud owner of!
Creating a website is essential, especially if you want to showcase your talents and earn money for your services. Remember, the best website to create is the one that’s easy to edit and design according to your liking.
A self-hosted WordPress website perfectly fits this, so let’s see how to create one below.
Let’s start in a simple, step-by-step manner without any necessary coding! Let’s begin.
Simply put, you’ll need only 3 things to have your website up and running.
- A website name & hosting service.
- A website theme (for the look of your website)
- Plugins (To boost your website’s speed etc)

[Step 1] – Create your Own Website
Okay, Let’s break it down.
Firstly, go to the WPX website (which is a hosting service provider) and choose one of their WordPress plans.
Why WPX Hosting Service?:
WPX Hosting is what I’ve used to host & create this very blog! I recommend starting with this hosting service because it’s super reliable & very beginner-friendly.
When I thought about roseandro.com, I was an absolute beginner and didn’t know how to create my own website.. thankfully, with WPX, all I had to do was purchase a hosting plan and a domain. The WPX support team made sure to take care of the rest.
It was as simple as 1-2-3. Just reach out to them via the chatbox on their website, and they solve every single query in less than a few minutes. SO WORTH IT.
| Best For | Beginners |
| Price | 24.99 $ per month |
| Customer Service | Best in class |
Follow the below steps to get your website up and running.
Navigate to the WPX website (or click on the image below) and select "WordPress Plans"
Opt to purchase their "Business" plan, which is their most basic starter plan for either a monthly or yearly subscription, depending on your budget.
Once you've chosen the plan you want, you will see the below page.
Simply choose "I am launching a new website" and then search for the website name that you want to have. (eg. yourname.com) and hit "Search"
In rare occasions, your domain name might be "Taken", in this case, choose another domain name that you would like, and once the status is "Available" click "Continue"
Select your hosting location. I recommend choosing the USA for its high speed and reliability.
Verify the domain name as well as the price you will be paying for that.
Once you've verified everything, select your method of payment & click on checkout.
And that's it! You've successfully obtained your website with a name of your choosing!
[Step 2] - Customize your website
Okay, I promised you that you'd have your website available and ready after step 1, which it is.
The next step is to make it look great! Which is what we are going to accomplish in this part.
So we are going to get some clothes for your website (also known as a "theme") along with a way to customize those clothes (also known as a "theme builder")
This is pretty simple to do.
I recommend using the Kadence theme for your website. It's easy to install, makes your website look professional, and is available for free! 0 hassle.
As a bonus, it makes your website super customizable with the help of its "blocks" which is a drag-and-drop feature that you can use to change different elements on your website. Let's go through the steps.
The first step is to head over to Kadence Themes and get started with their free bundle if you want the basic features or the "essential bundle" for more customizability.
Once you've purchased the bundle, navigate to your account on Kadence and go to "Product downloads". Next, download the theme and blocks.
The downloaded files will be in a .zip format. We need to now upload these zip files to the plugins section on our website. Navigate to the "Plugins" section on WordPress, then click on "Upload Plugin" then proceed to choose the downloaded files one after the other and click "Install Now"
Important step: first, install the theme, then install the blocks.
Navigate to your website's "Appearance Tab" and then go to "Starter Templates". You should be able to see a list of possible website templates that you can make your website look like.
Choose a template that best aligns with what you want your website to look like and click on it.
Click on "Full Site" to grab the look of this template onto your website.
Congratulations! You have made your website look unique, professional, and worth every eyeball. I am actually very proud of you for coming this far along.
The next step is to customize the unique elements on our website using Kadence Blocks, but we'll get to that in a bit.
Since we have the website up and running, let's first focus on the essential plugins we need to optimize the website for the three S's -> SEO, Speed, and security.
[Step 3] - Install Essential Plugins
Website functionality can be significantly enhanced by adding the right plugins. Plugins are software components that add specific features to an existing computer program. Here, we'll discuss three essential plugins: Rank Math, WP Rocket, and Wordfence.
Rank Math: This is a search engine optimization plugin for WordPress that helps you optimize your content with built-in suggestions based on widely accepted best practices. It's user-friendly and provides advanced SEO analytics.
WP Rocket: This plugin helps improve website speed, a key factor in user experience and SEO. WP Rocket offers features like cache preloading, browser caching, and GZIP compression, which work together to make your website load faster.
Wordfence: Security is crucial for any website. Wordfence is a security plugin that includes an endpoint firewall and malware scanner to protect WordPress websites.
Optimizing for SEO
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the practice of increasing the quantity and quality of traffic to your website through organic search engine results. Two popular tools for on-page SEO are Rank Math and Yoast SEO.
Rank Math helps you optimize your web pages by providing suggestions for improving page titles, meta descriptions, and content. You can read more about it in this blog post, which explains how installing Rank Math SEO Plugin can help rank your website higher on Google. They also help you choose and implement focus keywords, which are the words and phrases that searchers enter into search engines.
Understanding and Using Analytics
Website analytics provide insights into how users interact with your website. This data can guide you in making informed decisions about content creation, marketing strategies, and more.
Google Analytics is a popular tool that provides comprehensive statistics about a website's traffic, traffic sources, conversions, and sales. It can help you understand what's working on your website and what needs improvement.
[Step 4] - If you Want to create more websites [bonus]
If you want to create more websites (say you're helping a business owner), follow the steps below to complete this.
Think of a website name that you want (e.g. businessname.com) and check if it's available for purchase.
Login to your WPX client area -> and follow the steps below:
Navigate to "Domains" under "My Services" in the WPX client area
Click on "Buy new domains"
Enter the domain name you want to create and check if it's available.
Once you've chosen a domain name that's available, click on "Register" and then click on the Cart icon which will take you to the purchase page.
Click on "Continue" to proceed. (Don't click on "Order hosting with this domain" as you have already purchased a WordPress hosting plan in the steps above.
Verify the domain name as well as the price you will be paying for that. (It's usually around 13.99 USD) Once you've verified everything, click on checkout.
And that's it! You've successfully managed to create an additional website! Just remember, on the basic "Business" plan of WPX, you can create a total of 5 such domains!
