id=\"Perplexed_and_Bursty_Guide_to_Creating_a_WordPress_Site_Without_Going_Live\"><\/span>Perplexed and Bursty Guide to Creating a WordPress Site Without Going Live<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Choose_a_Hosting_Provider\"><\/span>Step 1: Choose a Hosting Provider<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>WordPress, the content management system of the internet, is a popular choice for website creation because of its open-source availability and supportive community. However, setting up a WordPress site without going live can seem scary for beginners. So, let&#8217;s begin this puzzling process by selecting a reliable hosting provider among the several options available, such as Bluehost, HostGator, and SiteGround. You will need to choose a domain name, but for now, consider picking a temporary one until you decide to take your site public.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Install_WordPress\"><\/span>Step 2: Install WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After securing a hosting provider, it&#8217;s time to install WordPress, and you don&#8217;t have to worry about the complicated process because most hosting providers offer a one-click install option for WordPress to efficiently set up your database. However, if you encounter any issues or have concerns, you can always contact your hosting provider&#8217;s support team for assistance.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Choose_a_Theme\"><\/span>Step 3: Choose a Theme<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once WordPress is installed, you can pick a theme for your site. A theme dictates your site&#8217;s appearance by creating a design template. You can explore the vast collection of free and paid themes in the WordPress theme library or online to pick a theme that resonates with you. Installing the theme is easy as installing it directly from the WordPress dashboard.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Customize_Your_Site\"><\/span>Step 4: Customize Your Site<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now let&#8217;s get into giving your site a personal touch by creating pages, posts, adding images, and other content. Also, you can quickly customize your theme by customizing the color scheme, font style, and other design elements to make your site appealing, but you still don&#8217;t have to take it public yet.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Install_Plugins\"><\/span>Step 5: Install Plugins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Plugins are your site&#8217;s extensions that add tremendous features and functionality. WordPress has thousands of free and paid plugins that you can install directly from the WordPress dashboard. Some excellent options to consider are Jetpack, Yoast SEO, and Contact Form 7.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_Preview_Your_Site\"><\/span>Step 6: Preview Your Site<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you have designed your site, it&#8217;s time to preview it to see how it looks. With the preview button in the WordPress dashboard, you can see what your site will look like when it&#8217;s live, but it&#8217;s not public yet.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_7_Protect_Your_Site\"><\/span>Step 7: Protect Your Site<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Finally, it&#8217;s critical to prevent your site from security threats such as spam and hackers. You can include reliable security plugins like Sucuri, iThemes Security, and Wordfence. These plugins will go a long way in ensuring your site is secure.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Creating a stunning WordPress site without going live initially is possible with ease. You can take all the time you need to make your site perfect before taking it public. With the WordPress platform, building a site has never been easier, and even those with no coding skills can enjoy creating beautiful and functional sites. So, proceed with confidence because the possibilities are endless with WordPress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perplexed and Bursty Guide to Creating a WordPress Site Without Going Live Step 1: Choose a Hosting Provider WordPress, the content management system of the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7209,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3287],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/WORDPRESS-ULTIMATE-GUIDE-How-To-step-by-step-Tutorial.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9994"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9994"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9994\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
