2.SETTING UP

YOUR WEB

HOSTING

ACCOUNT

The first step

into building a

wedding website

SETTING UP YOUR WEB HOSTING ACCOUNT

1) Your first step is creating and setting up your

web hosting account. Go to Bluehost.com and

choose “Get Started Now”

Bluehost offers great quality service such as high-speed page loading, amazing

customer support and it is a brand already known and trusted in the market.

2) Done that, it is time

to pick the plan that

best suits your needs.

Choose the starter plan

if you’re just starting out

or the plus plan if you

want a more robust

foundation for your

website.


3) Now it’s time to give name to your newborn wedding website! Choose a

domain name that best suits your needs, brand and aspirations. Bluehost.com

plan offers a single free domain, so you don’t have to worry about having

to buy one. It’s yours! :)

(If your domain is already registered, Bluehost will suggest you other domain

names.)



Tips for crafting a good website domain name:

▸Prefer shorter domain names. Names between 7-13

letters perform better. However, there is no right or wrong

here. You should always have your brand in mind.

▸It needs to make sense and be easy to remember

▸It must contain a strong brand name

▸Avoid symbols such as *, /, #, etc. on your domain names


4) Fill up your information, choose additional services you

may like, put your payment information and choose

submit!

Create a password you’re sure you won’t forget and we’re

done here.

4.INSTALLING A

WEDDING THEME

Giving your wedding

website the look it

needs

INSTALLING A THEME

After installing WordPress, it is time to give yourweddingwebsite the look you

want. Before we continue, you should know a few things.

Just like anything in the world, there are free and premium themes available for

WordPress. Premium themes are far much better than the free ones, of course.

My personal opinion: you should really invest your money and buy

yourself a premium theme.

Premium themes are a must when it comes to building a beautiful wedding

website, so you really should buy one, especially when it’s so cheap (most

themes cost less than $50)

(There is a bonus at the end of this content with my favorite places to find premium wedding

WordPress themes)

INSTALLING A THEME

1) Login in your WordPress dashboard using your credentials from

the previous step.

INSTALLING A THEME

2) This is your WordPress Dashboard. This is the place where you

will control everything about your website. Here is where you will

control your wedding website.

INSTALLING A THEME

If this is your first time, you might get a little intimidated by the

WordPress dashboard. However, there is no need to panic: the

dashboard is pretty intuitive and you must be able to learn it in less

than a day.

Give yourself time to learn at your own pace.

INSTALLING A THEME

3) To change the

actual theme

(which is a mess)

and install the

theme you’ve just

bought, you should

go to

“Appearance >

Themes”.

INSTALLING A THEME

4) Now you can change to other WordPress default themes, browse

through free themes or install your premium WordPress theme. Click

on “Add New” to add a new theme.

INSTALLING A THEME

5) Upload the .zip file from the theme you’ve just bought and click

on “Install Now”. After that, just wait and after the installation is

done, activate your theme!

6) Your wedding WordPress website is now set up and and ready

to rock! Be proud because you now have your own wedding

website.
