if you wanna build a super professionalwebsite, watch this video, and i’ll show you how step by step. what’s up everyone? it’s jameson fromnyc tech club and in this video, i’m gonna show how to create this website step by step.and you don’t need to know any type of coding or programming or whatsoever. it's just gonnabe a bunch of drag and drop, and copy and paste. and by the end of the video you’regoing to be a wordpress expert. and as you can see, this website is just beautiful. it’ssimple yet stunning and just super professional. what i tried to do was incorporate a lot ofthe design aspects of leading businesses such as apple. and spotify. and square. all ofwhich are multi-billion dollar businesses.
that have spent millions of dollars on webdesign research. so what i created was something with a greatuser experience, something that creates an amazing first impression and something thatyou can be really, really proud of. i wanted to build something that not only representsyou, but represents your brand. and i really think that we were able to accomplish thatwith this website. and the best part about this web tutorial is it’s gonna save youthousands of dollars building out this website yourself. so if you’re a freelancer, a blogger,an artist, a small to medium size business or just someone just wants to build a superprofessional, super beautiful, mobile-friendly and responsive website, then keep watchingthis video because i’m gonna show you how
to create this website step by step. but first,i wanna give you a tour of exactly what we’re gonna build right now. okay, so this is the homepage that we're gonnabe creating today. i’m gonna show you how to create this full width image slider righthere. we’ll also put in a transparent header menu right at the top, and i’ll show youhow to create a custom logo right here. on each of our slider images, we’re gonna havea headline, a subheadline and a call to action button. and the reason why we’re gonna dothis is because all of the leading business websites also do this. so if i go to apple, you can see right herethere’s the headline, a subheadline and
a call to action. and the same with spotify,they have their full width image right here with a headline, a subheadline and some callto action buttons right here. and what we wanna do is incorporate the best of the bestand put it on our website. so that’s what we’re gonna do right here. so if i click on this button right here, it’sgonna bring me down to the next section that we're gonna build. so the next section we'regonna create is the "services" section right here and what you can do here is highlightwhat you and your business is all about. so you can add as many or as few products andservices as you want, and i’ll show you how to add these custom icons right here.once we’re done with this section, we’re
gonna create a call to action section righthere. and what we’ll have is two buttons that will go to different pages on our website.so i’ll show you how to create multiple pages and link them to these buttons. andonce we’re done with this section, we’re gonna create a recent blog post section thatlooks just like this, and then we’ll create another call to action right down here withanother button that really just funnels your visitors wherever you want them to go on yourwebsite. and right down here in the footer, we’ll have social media buttons. we’llhave our website name down here and if i click on this button, it will bring us right backto the top. and we can actually customize any of the colors on our website. so i’llshow you how to do that. and again this website
is responsive, so it works on any computeror laptop, any mobile device. it will just resize on its own so you don’t have to worryabout that. so now, let me just quickly show you what the other pages that we’re gonnamake look like. so this is the about page that we’re goingto make, and i’ll show you how to put in titles at the top of your pages like this.and we’ll insert an image right here just so that you know how to do that, and thenwe’ll put in a little description right here about your business. and then we’llput in an embedded video right here. and what we could have done if we really wanted towas put this video full width so that you don’t have any white space right here. buti kind of like it with the white space just
because it makes it look like a framed image.so if you really wanted to, you can push play right here and actually watch this video playright here. and underneath this video, we’re gonna put in some facts or statistics aboutyour business right here. and then we’ll have another call to action right here, andthen right below that on every one of your pages you’ll see this footer right here.so now let me show you another page that we’re going to create. so the next page that we're gonna create isthis employee's page and you can add as many or as few employees as you want. and we canalso add a call to action right down here. so what’s really cool is if you hover overany of these images, you get additional details
about your employee along with their socialmedia accounts right here. and we can link the name to additional pages if we want to,so that your visitors can get additional details about the employee. once we create this page,we’re gonna move on and create an image gallery or portfolio page.so if you have any images or projects that you wanna put into a portfolio, then you’regoing to love this page because what we’re gonna create is this image gallery right herethat your visitors can actually click on each individual image and then get a pop up ofthat image. and they can actually go through a slider to see every one of these images.and once we create this page, we’re going to create our success stories page or testimonialspage next.
so this is the success stories page or testimonialspage and what this page is gonna do is give you a bunch of social proof. so what we’regonna do right at the top is add some videos right here. so if you have any video testimonialsyou can embed them right here, and if you don’t have any videos, we can add imagesor texts or anything else we wanna write here. and right below that, we’ll add some testimonialsright here with the image of the person that’s giving the testimonial, their name and thenmaybe their title or what company they’re from right here. and then right below that,we’ll add some logos of our current and past clients right here. and then we’llput in a call to action right here and then our footer right here. so once we create thispage, we’re going to create our blog page
next. now we’re gonna create a very simple, butelegant and professional blog post page just like this. and what you’ll see is we’llhave a featured image for each of our blog post with a title, the date that the blogpost was written and also a little excerpt right here. and if any of your visitors clickon one of these blog posts, this is what the blog post will actually look like. so thisis a single blog post page right here. and right below, we also have a section for yourvisitors to leave a comment if they want. and you’ll notice on the right hand side,we have this right side bar. so i’m gonna show you how to customize this and put ina facebook like box, your twitter feed right
here, and then recent blog post right herewith thumbnails. so once we create our blog post page and some blog post, we’re gonnacreate one additional page. so the last page that we’re gonna createis this contact us page right here so that your visitors can get in touch with you. sowe’ll put in some contact information right here and we’ll embed a map right below ifyou have a real location and then we’ll put in this contact us form right here thatyour visitors can fill out and it will send a message right to your inbox. so pretty much, this is the website that we’regoing to be building today. so if you wanna build a website that incorporates a lot ofthe design aspects of multibillion-dollar
companies and you really, really like whatyou see, then follow this tutorial and you’re going to build an amazing website. so if you’reready then i’m ready. let’s get started. the first thing that you have to do is registera domain like this, and then we have to get hosting service. and hosting allows you torun your website and store all the content on your website. so i recommend that you goto hostgator.com for both your domain and your hosting service. so right here, typein www.hostgator.com and click "enter." so i recommend hostgator.com because they’refast, reliable, cheap and they have great customer service. so all i want you to dois click on this button right here that says, "get started now!†on this next page, wecan just scroll down and you can see the three
different hosting plans available. there isthe hatchling plan, the baby plan and the business plan. the business plan is a littletoo expensive and probably more than what we need, so i’m going to focus our attentionon the hatchling plan and the baby plan. so the hatchling plan is if you plan on buildingone website and one website only, and the baby plan is if you plan on building morethan one website and you wanna host them on this account, then the baby plan is probablythe right one to choose. i personally use the baby plan, so i’m just going to select"sign up now!" okay. so on this next page, we have to fillout some information to register our domain and get hosting service. so on step number1, it says “choose a domain.†so what
i want you to do is type in a domain thatyou wanna register right here. so i'm gonna type in howtowebby.com and push “enter.â€if you get this green check mark, and it says “added" right here that means your domainis available and we can just move to step number 2. so step number 2 is actually where you chooseyour hosting plan. so in this drop down right here, remember we’re choosing between thehatchling plan and the baby plan. in the hatchling plan is if you plan on building one websiteand one website only, and the baby plan is if you plan on building multiple websitesand you wanna host them on this account. so i’m gonna select the baby plan right here,and then i’m gonna choose my billing cycle.
so what i recommend is either the 6 or 12-monthbilling cycle just to give yourself enough time to know whether or not you wanna runa website or not. so i’m gonna choose 6 months right here. and then all you have todo is create a username and a security pin. and then we can move on to step number 3. so step number 3 is where you’re going toenter your billing information. and i’ve already done this, so i’m not gonna do itwith you. but if you need to, go ahead and pause this video and fill out all this informationand then just push “play†when you’re ready. otherwise, we’re gonna move on tostep number 4. so step number 4 is adding additional servicesand by default hostgator actually selects
all of these for us. what we wanna do is unselectthem because these are just extra cost that we don’t need right now, and we can alwaysadd these later. so make sure you uncheck all of these and then let’s move on to stepnumber 5. and so step number 5 is entering a couponcode. and by default hostgator puts in this snappy code right here. and what i recommendis you change this to n-y-c-tech-3-0 and click "validate" right here. and you’ll see thediscount actually increase right here, because this coupon code n-y-c-tech-30 gives you a30% discount code instead of the 20% the hostgator gives you. so once you put this coupon codein right here, go ahead and scroll down and click “i have agreed to the terms.†andthen just click this button right here that
says “check out now!†once you’ve signed up for hosting and registeredyour domain, i want you to go to your inbox, and you’ll see this email right here fromhostgator.com that’s titled “your account info.†i want you to click and open thatand you’ll see a bunch of links right here and the one that we wanna focus on is thisone that says “your control panel.†i want you to click on that link right hereand then you’ll get this pop up that allows you to login to your cpanel. and inside our cpanel is where we’re goingto install wordpress and also create our email address. so if you need your username andyour password, go back to you email and right
here, this is where your username is and thisis where your password is. so go ahead and copy those and paste them into these two sectionsright here and then just click “log in.†once you’re logged in, all we have to dois scroll down to this section right here that says “software and services.†andwhat we’re gonna do is install wordpress. so you might have to wait a few minutes forgodaddy and hostgator to connect but if you don’t, go ahead and just click this buttonright here that says “quick install.†now all we have to do is come down to thissection right here that says “popular installs†and click on "wordpress." and then we’llget this pop up right here and all we have to do is click on this button that says “installwordpress.â€
and now we just have to fill out some information.so right here, go ahead and choose your domain that you want to install wordpress on andthen put in your email address, a blog title that you can actually modify later and thenan admin username. so i’m gonna put in admin right here and then i just put in my firstand my last name right here. and then i’ll scroll down to this green button and justclick “install wordpress.†once you've installed wordpress, you shouldsee this message right here that says “your install is complete!†and right over hereif you click on this arrow, you can see this information that allows you to login to yourwordpress dashboard. and you can write all of this down if you want or you can go toyour email inbox and you’ll see this email
right here that says “install complete.â€and if you click and open that, you also have all of your information right here to loginto your wordpress dashboard. so before we actually login to our dashboard, let me showyou what our website looks like right now. so if i open up a new tab and i go to my website,this is what the website is going to look like after you install wordpress: super simpleand really plain. but we haven’t installed the theme yet. so we haven’t started customizingand making our website look like this. but we’re gonna do that right now. so what iwant you to do is either go back to the install page or your email inbox. and then click onthis link right here that says “admin url.†and we’re gonna login to our wordpress dashboardright now.
on the wordpress login page, what you haveto do is put in your username and your password. so if you need to, go ahead and go back toyour inbox and go to your email with your login information. and right here is yourusername and right here is your password. go ahead and copy and paste those two intothese two sections right here. and once you’re ready, go ahead and click this button thatsays “log in.†once we’re logged in, this is the wordpressdashboard. and this is where we’re gonna do all of our customization and add new blogposts, upload images and videos, create new pages and approve and reply the comments andall that good stuff. but the first thing that we have to do in order to customize and buildour website is install the theme for this
wordpress website. so go to appearance andclick on “themes.†once you’re on the themes page, what i wantyou to do is go to this button right here that says “wordpress.org themes†and clickon that. and the theme that we’re gonna be using is called the “sydney†theme.â€so right here where it says “search themes†i want you type in sydney, s-y-d-n-e-y. andthen it should pop up right here and what i want you to do is click “install.†andthen on this next page, just click this link right here that says “activate.†and oncewe’re back on the themes page, you can see right here the sydney theme is the activetheme. so what i wanna do is actually show you what our website looks like right now.so if i open up a new tab, you can see that
the site looks a little bit better, but stillnothing as great as what we’re gonna make it look like in a little bit. so go back to your dashboard if you’re notalready on it. and the next thing we’re gonna do is install some plugins that arerecommended to us. and plugins really just make our life a lot easier. they’re liketools to really help us build our website. so right here where it says “begin installingplugins†i want you to click on this link right here. now on this next page, i wantyou to check this box right here next to plugin and then click on this drop-down right hereand click “install.†and then click this button that says “apply.â€

to change any of the page attributes for thispage. all we need to do is push this button right here that says “publish.†so i’mjust gonna push this and once our page is published, now we just need to set the homepageand the blog page. so what i want you to do is come down on left hand side to appearanceand then click on “customize.†so on this page right here, on the left handside you’ll see a bunch of different tabs. and we’re gonna go through all of theseto customize our settings and also customize our website. but the first thing that i wantyou to do is come down here to static front page and click and expand that. and you canscroll down right here and you’ll this section that says “front page displays.†i wantyou to click the bullet right here that says
“a static page†and then you’ll getthis drop-down right here. and where it says “front page†click in the drop-down andselect homepage and then for post page, click in the drop-down and select blog right hereand then just click “save" and "publish." and once that saved, we can actually see thechanges right here as we make them. this is pretty much like a visual editor page righthere. but if we wanna see the change that we actually made, we can go to the tab thathas our old website open. and right here if you remember we have all this white spacedown here when we installed the theme. so if i actually refresh this right now, it shouldactually update and all we should see is the slider image right here. and then we haveanother page that has all of our blog posts
if we go to that, but right now we don’thave a header menu link right here to actually go to that page. so i’ll show you that alittle bit later. the next thing that we’re gonna do in thisweb tutorial is create the slider image right here and we’re gonna modify or change theslider images. so let’s do that right now. let’s go back to our dashboard and go backto this customize page right here. and what we’re gonna do is scroll up to the top andclick on “header" area right here. once you’re in the header area, i want youto come down to the header type right here and click and expand that. and make sure thisbullet is selected right here where it says “full screen slider†and then right downhere where it says “site header typeâ€
i want you to select “no header†righthere. and once we do that, we’re gonna scroll down to this section right here where it says“header slider†and click on that. in the header slider area, you can actually changethe slider speed and also the text speed in your slider images right here. we’re gonnaleave it at the default 4000 milliseconds and if you really want to you can change thisyourself. but if not we’re gonna just move down to this next section that says “firstslide.†and what we wanna do is actually change this first slider image. so what youcan do is push this button right here that says “remove†or just click this buttonthat says “change image.†so what i’m gonna do is click this button right here.and what we’ll get is our media library.
and since we already uploaded all of our images,they’ll show up right here. if you wanna upload a new image, all you have to do isclick on this tab right here that says “upload files.†and then you can actually clickthis button right here that says “select files†and then you find the image thatyou want and then upload it that way. but since we have everything already uploaded,i’m gonna click on "media library" right here and just select the slider image thati want and just choose image right here. and then you’ll see it actually refresh righthere. so now what i wanna do is actually modify the text for the first image slider. so righthere where it says “welcome to sydney†i’m gonna change this to "create and inspire."and then i wanna change the subheadline from
"feel free to look around" to "endless possibilities."so i’ll type that in right here and you can see it actually update right here. andwe’ll modify the text for the button or the call to action in a little bit. the next thing i wanna do is change the secondimage slider. and you can add up to five different images here. so i’m just gonna add 2 andwhat we wanna do is actually change this one right here. so we can click again “removeor change image†right here and then we get to our media library. and what i wannado is select this image for my image slider and just click “choose image†right here.and i’m gonna leave the headline "ready to begin your journey" but right here on thesub-headline, i’m gonna say “find out
what we’re all about.†and then we canjust scroll down. if you wanna put in any more images, go ahead and upload them hereand also the text; otherwise just come down to bottom and come down to the section thatsays call to action button. and what we’re gonna do right here is changethe text to "learn more." and then if you wanna put in a url to redirect people to anotherpage once they click on this call to action button, you can paste that in right here;otherwise, just leave it as is and all it will do is if people clicked on this, it willgo down to the next section which is the “services" section. so what i want you to do is click“save†right here. and then we’re gonna move on to this next section that is the “headerimage.â€
we’re not actually going to modify the headerimage, but i do wanna show this section in case you wanted to replace this image or puta new image that shows up on all of your pages right at the top with your header menu. whatwe’re gonna do in this website tutorial is actually create custom titles with ourown images for each of our pages. so we’re not going to actually modify this section.so if you want you can just leave this section as is and we can just scroll down to thisnext section right here that says “menu styles†and click on that. on the menu style tab, we’re actually notgonna change any of these options right here. but i do wanna talk about them just in caseyou wanna change your own menu settings. so
if we go to the demo website, you can seeright here, this is the transparent header menu right at the top. and if we scroll downthe page, you can see that the header menu actually follows you down the page. and that’sbecause the “sticky†option is chosen. if you don’t want the header menu to actuallyfollow you down the page, you wanna choose the “static†option, so it stays at thetop of the homepage and the rest of the website. so if we go to the customize page again, youcan see right here the sticky option is chosen and then we can come down to the menu styleright here and you see that the “inline†option is chosen. and what that means is thesite title right here and the navigation bar are going to be on the same line. if we wannasee what it looks like when we center it,
we can click on this button right here andthen you can see that this is what it looks like if it’s centered. you’ll have yoursite title or logo right here on top and then you’ll have your navigation bar right herebelow it. so we’re just gonna use in line for this website, but you can choose whateveroptions you want. and when you’re ready, just click “save" and "publish†righthere. and then just click the "back" button. once we’re back on this page right here,i’m going to make some changes to our settings and our layout. and what i’m gonna do ismake some suggestions that you can follow or you can actually modify any of these settingsand layouts however you want. so the first thing that i wanna do is come down to “fontsâ€right here and click on that. in the “fonts
setting†section i wanna just scroll downall the way to the bottom to the last section which is the “body font size.†and whati wanna do is change this from 14 to 16. and once i do that, i just wanna come downto this next section which is "colors" and click on that. in the colors section, whatwe’re gonna do is actually just modify the primary color and the menu background color.and you can modify all these other ones if you want, but these are the only two thatwe’re gonna be modifying. so if you see right now on our website, the red is a littleis off red. and what we wanna do is actually make it a little bit brighter. so if i goto the demo website, you can see right here this red looks a little bit brighter. andif we scroll down, you can see that the menu
actually changes to the same color that we’regonna put in for the primary color. and by default the menu color is black. and you canleave that black if you want. i just like to match it up with the primary color andyou’ll see that the primary color shows up throughout the website. so in these littlesections right here, you can see if we hover over anything, the primary color actuallyshows up too. so you can modify the colors to whatever colorsyou want, but if you want the colors that we’re gonna put on this website or throughthis web tutorial, what i want you to do is go the nyc tech club website and got to thetext tutorial and on step number 15 right here where it says “colorsâ€, what i wantyou to do is highlight this hex code right
here. and this is going to be the color codefor the color of red that we want. so once if you highlight and copy that, goback to the dashboard right here and where it says “primary colorâ€, go ahead andpush this button right here where it says “select color†and all we have to do isjust paste in the code right here. and then we’re gonna do the same right down herewhere it says “menu background.†just click on that button and then delete thishex code and paste in that code right there. and now the colors will actually change tothat brighter red and all we have to do is click “save" and "publish.†and once this is saved, we can scroll up tothe blog options tab and click on that. and
this is where we’re gonna modify the blogpost page. in this section right here, we can modify the blog post layout. so if i goto the demo website, this is what the blog page looks like. this is the masonry gridstyle. so if we want a blog page that looks like this for our website, we have to selectthe masonry grid style option. so on the customize page right here, i’mgonna select masonry grid style. and right below it we have the option of creating afull width single post page. so if a visitor clicks on a blog post, this is what it lookslike right now. you’ll see the blog post with a right side bar. if you wanna get ridof the side bar and just have all of your content go full width, then you would clickthat box. but we’re gonna leave it blank
right now or unchecked and just move on to“content and excerpt.†and right here all i wanna do is where itsays “excerpt length.†i wanna change the 55 to 20. and the reason is, right hereis where the excerpt is and 55 is a little bit too long and a little bit too messy. sowhat i did was i modified it to 20 and it just looks a little bit more professional.so once you changed the excerpt length to 20, all we have to do is click “save" and"publish.†so once this is saved, you can actually modify any of the other settingsin these tabs if you want. but we’re actually done with what we need to modify to buildout our demo website. so first let’s go to our old website and refresh it and seethe changes that we made. and you can see
right here we have our slider image with sometext and then on this button right here we have our primary color. so now we can move on to the next step whichis creating a custom logo that we’re gonna put right here. so what i want you to do isgo to a website called logomakr.com, l-o-g-o-m-a-k-r.com. so the word “makr†doesn’t have theletter “e.†this is where we’re going to create our custom logo. so the first thingthat you have to do is click "next" "next" "next" and "done." and what we wanna do iscome to this search bar right here and type in an image or a graphic we want. so i’mgonna type in a compass. so that’s what i use for the demo website, and then i’llscroll down and find the one that i wanna
use which is this one and i’ll just clickon it. and you can see the image right here and you can actually change the colors towhatever color you want using this color spectrum right here. but the first thing that i wantyou to do is actually click on this corner and drag it in to about fifty by fifty. andthe reason why i wanna do this is so that we make sure that it fits within our headermenu. so if you remember, we have this transparent header menu up here. and what i’ve donewith my logo is i created a white logo because i think it looks really nice on this fullwidth image slider. so that’s what i’m gonna use again, but you can make your logoany color you want. so let’s go back to logomakr and what iwanna do is change this to white. and the
logo is still there but it looks like it disappearedjust because the background is also white. and all i wanna do now is click on this discright here to save and download the logo. so if i click on that, i’ll get this newtab right here. and the logo, if it’s white, it actually shows up right here but you can’tsee it. so what i want you to do if you have a white logo is go to the center and thenjust right click. and then you should get this pop up right here that says “save image.â€go ahead and select that and then you can save this to your download folder. and whati want you to do is close this tab and then x out of this and then actually if you havea white image here, i want you to change it to a color; any color you want. if i selectthis – and the reason why i wanna do this
is because we’re gonna resave this logoand we’re gonna upload it as our favicon right here on our web browser so that ourlogo shows up next to our web address. so again i’m gonna click on this disc righthere and download this and then i’ll right click and save it. and then i’ll save asanother name, and then we’re good to go. so i’ll close out of this and then i’llcome back to our dashboard right here where we’re customizing everything, and i’llclick back right here. and right now what we’re gonna do is upload our logo and ourfavicon. so right here where it says “site title/tagline/logo,†i want you to clickon that. and if you wanna just update your site title right here or your tagline, youcan do that right here; otherwise, let’s
upload our logo and replace the text righthere. so let’s click on “select image†right here and if you need to upload yournew logo, go ahead and click on the “upload files†tab right here and click “selectfiles†and find the logo in your downloads folder or wherever you saved it and uploadit; otherwise, you can go to media library if you have it already uploaded and we alreadyhave that right here. we’re gonna select our logo and then just click “choose imageâ€right there. and then we can see that our logo actually gets updated and shows up onour page right here. so now let me show you how to upload our favicon.so right here where it says “general†i want you to click on that tab right there.and all we have to do right here is upload
our favicons. so “select image†clickon that. and then we’ll go to our media library again. and if you need to upload yourfavicon again, again just click right here on “upload files†and then click on “selectfiles.†but since we already uploaded everything, i’m just gonna select on this image righthere and click “choose image†and then you’ll see that the favicon actually shouldupdate once we refresh this page. so what i'm gonna do is "save" and "publish." onceeverything is saved, i wanna show you what our website looks like right now. so if igo to another tab and type in our web address and click "enter" we should see the changesthat we just made. so we have our logo right here and then our favicon right here.
so if your website doesn’t update and showthese changes right away, what you need to do is go to your dashboard and click on “pluginsâ€right here and then scroll down to the bottom where it says “wp super cache†and clickon “settings.†and what you need to do is delete your cache. so just click on thisbutton right here and it will delete the files that are stored on your server. and what thecache really is is a way to speed up your website because it stores everything on yourserver. but since we’re updating and modifying our website, we actually wanna delete everythingevery time we update our website so that we can see the changes. so you might wanna keepthis tab up in and just click "delete" every time you wanna see the changes as we go throughthis web tutorial, okay? so now that we have
our website right here, let’s move on tothe next section. so let me show you what we’re gonna create next. so back on our demo website, we created thissection already. so now we’re gonna move on to the next section which is the servicesor about section. so what we’re gonna do is create a bunch of services just like this.and then we’re gonna create this section for our homepage. so what i want you to dois go back to your wordpress website and all we’re gonna do is click on this x righthere that will bring us back to our wordpress dashboard. once you’re back on your wordpress dashboard,what i want you to do is go down on the left
hand side to services and what we’re gonnaclick on is “add new.†on the add new service page, the first thing that we wannado is put in a title for our product or service. so i’m gonna type in “photography†andyou can put whatever title you want. and when you’re ready, come down to this next sectionwhere we’re going to put in a short description about the product or service that we’recreating. so what i’m gonna do is go back to the demowebsite and just highlight this short description right here and copy and paste it in just tosave a little bit of time. but if you want, go ahead and type in a short description righthere and when you’re ready, scroll down to this section where it says “service icon.â€
and right here, this is where we’re goingto select the icon for this product or service that we’re creating. so what we can do isclick on this link right here to see a list of all the icons that are available. and sowe’ll get this new tab with this website and if we scroll down, you can see all ofthe icons that we can choose from. so once you find the one that you want, all you haveto do is highlight the short code just like this and then copy it and then go back toyour wordpress dashboard and paste in that short code right here. and that’s gonnainsert the icon for the service or product that you’re making. and right below that,you see this title that says “service link.†so if you paste in a url right here, yourvisitors can actually go to your website and
click on the icon or the title and it willredirect them to another page. but you can see right here, we don’t actually have anotherlink to another page. so we’re gonna leave this section blank right here. and if youwant, you can always come back to this page and edit this later. so what i want you to do now is go to thecategory section right here and i want you to add a category. so click on this link righthere that says “add new category†and we’re gonna add the same category for allthe products or services that we’re gonna create because this is gonna help us createour homepage section in a little bit. so right here just type in “type a†and then click“enter.†and you’ll see that the category
gets added right here to this list and nowall we have to do is click on this button that says “publish.†and once our serviceis published, let’s actually create another one together. so right here click on thisbutton that says “add new.†and once we’re back on this add new service page, rememberthe first thing that we wanna do is add a title. so right here i’m gonna type in “strategyâ€this time and when you’re ready come down to this next section and then we’re goingto put in a short description. so i’m gonna go back to the demo websiteand copy and paste this short description right here, again just to save some time.so i will paste that in right here and when you’re ready, we can scroll down to theservice icon section. and since we already

already added the type a category or whatevercategory that you did for the first service or product that you made, we can just checkthis box right here next to type a and then we can just click “publish†right here.and once that’s published, all we have to do to create another service or product isclick on this button right here that says “add new†or on the left hand side underservices, we can click “add new†right here. so what i want you to do is post thisvideo and create one additional product or service so that we can have three of themfor our homepage right here. and when you’re ready, you can push “play†and then we’regonna create this section. so go ahead and pause this video and create your last productor service, and if you want you can create
additional ones and you can have multiplerows. but at least create one more and when you’re ready push “play†and then we’regonna create this section, okay? so i will see you in a few minutes. okay, so now that you’re back we shouldhave at least three different services listed. so if you want you can check out how manyservices you have by going on the left hand side under services and clicking on “allitems.†now we have three. so if you have more than three that’s fine. all i wantyou to do is make sure that you have the same category for your services. so it doesn’thave to be type a like i put right here, but you wanna just make sure that you have thesame label. and if you don’t, go ahead and
hover over any of your services and you canclick “edit†right here and then modify whatever you wanna modify. so now we’re going to create this homepagesection right here. so what we have to do is go back to our wordpress dashboard righthere and i want you to go to pages on the left and then click on “all pages.†andonce you’ve come to this page, just come down to the homepage and click on that. onceyou’re on your homepage, come over here to the right and click on this tab called“page builder.†and this is a plugin that we downloaded a little bit earlier and whatwe’re going to be using pretty much to customize our website. so what we’re gonna do is createa bunch of blocks for our homepage. so let
me just show you what i mean really quickly.on the demo website, this services section is a block and then right below it we havethis call to action, and this is gonna be another block. and then the recent blog postright here is gonna be another block. so let’s create the first block for ourservices section right here. so back on the wordpress dashboard right here, what i wantyou to do is click on this button right here that says “add row.†and this is gonnainsert our first block. so what we wanna do is change the number of rows from 2 to 1 andthen click “insert.†and now that we have our block, we wanna add a widget. so clickon this button right here that says “add widget†and then you’ll see all of thesewidgets right here and some of them come from
our theme and then these other ones come fromplugins that we downloaded. so we want a sydney theme widget. so let’s click on this linkright here right at the top and the one that we want is the "sydney fp: services type a"widget. so click on that and then you can see it right here it gets inserted. and now what we want to do is click on this“edit†button right here and then we’ll get this pop up. and then we wanna put ina title. so right here type in “our services" or "our products†whatever you want. andthen you’re gonna leave this as -1 right here. and then for whatever category thatyou created for your services, i want you to type that in right here. so for me, i putin type a as the category. and then we can
just click “done†right here. and thenjust click “update.†and once that’s updated, we can actuallygo to our homepage and see what that looks like. so let’s click on this button righthere that says “view page.†and once we’re on the homepage, we can just scroll down andwe should see the first block that we just created right here – our services. so keepon mind that the products and services show up from most recent on the left side to theoldest or first one that you create on the right side. so the other thing that i wanna mention isyou can see right here the short description shows up with a gray font and the title righthere and the title of our block is a black
font. so what i wanna do is actually changethe body text to a black font as well. so if you wanna do that also, you can followalong. what i’m gonna do is click on this link right here that says “customize.â€and then we should see our customize options right here and we can just click on this "colors"tab right here and scroll down to body text and click on this right here where it says“select color.†and then just choose this black box right here and then we can justclick “save" and publish.†and then click the x right here. and once we’re back on our website, we canjust scroll down and we should see that the font color has changed right here. so if youupdate you website or refresh your website
and you don’t see the changes yet, whatyou probably have to do is go back to your settings right here and go to wp super cacheand delete your cache. and what that’s gonna do again is delete the files on your serverso that you can see the changes right away; otherwise, you might have to wait a littlebit of awhile to see the updates, okay? so now that we’ve created this block, wecan move on and create the next block. so let’s me show you what we’re gonna createnext. so if i scroll down on the demo website, the next thing that we’re gonna create isthis call to action right here. and what we’re gonna have is a title with a background imageand then two little sections right here with buttons that are going to be linked to differentpages that we’re gonna create a little bit
later. so you can follow along to create this sectionor you can feel free to also create whatever you want for your website because what i’mreally giving you is the tools to customize your own website. so if you want this callto action, let’s go back to our wordpress website and click on this link right herethat says “edit page.†and once we’re back on the edit homepage,the first thing we wanna do is add a new block. so go to this button right here that says“add row†and click on that. and we wanna change the number of rows from 2 to 1 andthen click this “insert†button right here. and so this is our new row. and beforewe add any new widgets, let’s go to this
wrench right here and hover over that andclick on “edit row.†and what we’re gonna do is customize this row a little bit.so right here where it says “themeâ€, click on that and you get this drop-down. and thefirst thing we’re gonna do is come down to this section where it says “top/bottompadding.†and in this box right here i want you to type in 50 or 5-0. and let me explainto you what this is gonna do really quick. so on the demo website right here, you cansee that we have the service row right here and then we’re creating this call to actionright here. and in between there’s some space and we also call that “padding.â€and there’s also padding down here between the call to action and the recent blog post.
so what we’re trying to do is minimize thatpadding or that space. so it says right here that the default padding is 100px. so by puttingfifty in here, we’re gonna reduce that padding or that space by 50%. so make sure you putin fifty right here and then you can just scroll down to this section right here thatsays “background image.†and so if you wanna insert a background image in your rowjust like what we’re gonna do right here, all you have to do is go to this section whereit says “background image†and click on this button right here that says “selectimage.†and then we can go to our media library. so if you’re already uploaded allof your images then we can just select one here. and if you wanna upload a new file,you can actually just click on this tab right
here that says “upload files.†and clickon this button right here that says “select files.†and then you can find whatever photoyou want in your folders. but since we already uploaded everything,i’m just gonna just click on the "media library" tab and find the background imagethat i want which is this one right here. and so it’s the background.jpeg and oncei select it, i can just push “done†right here and that’s gonna insert the backgroundimage. and the last thing we have to do right here is go to row layout. and then in thisdrop-down right here, click on “full width†and then we can just click “save.†and now we wanna add a widget in this block.so click on this button right here that says
“add widget†and the widget that we wantis the “layout builder.†so find that and click on that and now we can just clickon this “edit link" right here. and so the layout builder allows us to add rows withina row. and what i mean by that is if you go to the demo website, there is a call to actionrow right here. and within this large row, there is another row for our text title righthere and a row for our call to action buttons right here. so what we’re going to do is add two rowswithin this larger row. so back on the layout builder i want you to click on this buttonright here that says “add row.†and let’s change the number of rows from 2 to 1 andclick "insert". and now we wanna add a text
widget right here for our title, so clickon this button that says “add widget†and the widget that we want is the text widget.so scroll down to the bottom and find the one that says “text†and click on that.and now let’s click on the “edit link" right here and we can add a title for ourcall to action right here. so what i’m gonna is go to the demo websiteand just highlight the title right here and copy that and paste that in. and once you’redone putting in a title, go ahead and click on the “done†button right here. and nowwe’re inserted the call to action title right here. so what i wanna do is customizethis a little bit. so let’s hover over the wrench right here and click on “edit row.â€and what we wanna do is click on “themeâ€

the wrench click on “edit row†and clickon “theme†right here and where it says “top/bottom padding†and this box righthere, put in zero and then click “save†and then click “done†and then we canjust click “update†to save our changes. and once our page is updated, we can clickon this button right here to see what our website looks like right now. so once we’re back on the homepage, we canjust scroll down and we should see this call to action section right down here. and weshould have our two buttons that we’re gonna create pages four in a little bit. so nowwe can move on to the next section of the homepage.
so back on the demo website, the next sectionthat we’re gonna create is this "recent blog post" section. so what i want you todo is go back to your wordpress website and click on this link right here that says “editpage.†once we’re back on the edit page, all we have to do is click to "add a new row"and we wanna change the number of rows to 1 right here and click this "insert" button.and then we wanna drag this below the layout builder. so what i want you to do is clickon this up and down arrow right here and then just drag it below. and right here we wannaadd a widget. so click on this button that says “add widget.†and the widget thatwe want is the "sydney fp: latest news" widget. so find thatand then click on that and we can just click

on our dashboard, the first thing that we’regonna do is allow for comments on our blog post. so what we have to do is come down toour settings and then click on "discussion." on the discussion settings page, we have tocheck off some of these boxes so that people can leave comments on our blog post. so thefirst one we wanna check off is this one right here and this is allows people to leave commentsand then we wanna check this box right here. so whenever someone leaves a comment, theyhave to put in their name and their email. and then we wanna uncheck this so people canleave comments if they don’t have a registered account. and we also wanna uncheck this one,so people can leave comments on older blog post. and then if you wanna be emailed wheneversomeone leaves a comment, check this box right
here. and then let’s scroll down to thissection right here where it says “before a comment appears.†i usually check thisbox right here so i manually approve comments and this just helps with spam. so if you checkthis box, what you have to do whenever someone gives you a comment is come to the commentstab and manually approve them, okay? so i also usually uncheck this one so people canleave comments if it’s their first time. and once you’re ready, let’s scroll downto the bottom and just click “save†over and once our settings are saved, we can goto our blog post and we can refresh this. and if we scroll down we can see the commentsection right here. so if you don’t see your comments section, then let me show youwhat else you can do. if we go back to our

so now we’re gonna move on and the nextthing that we’re gonna do is create this right sidebar right here. so we’ll havethis recent post section, a twitter feed and then this facebook like box. so what we haveto do go back to the wordpress website and on the left hand side, go down to appearanceand click on “widgets.†on the widgets page, what we’re gonna do is drag some ofthese widgets on the left hand side into the sidebar right here. and so my sidebar mightlook a little different than yours because i’ve deleted some of the default widgetsthat come install with wordpress. and you can do the same by clicking and expandingthe widget and then clicking the “delete link†right here. and then the widget getsmoved back to the left hand side. and you
can always use it if you click and drag itover to the sidebar. so the first widget that we wanna drag inis the easy "facebook like" box. and this is a plugin that we downloaded earlier inthis tutorial. so all i wanna do is click and drag it into the side bar. and then wewanna paste in the facebook url right here. so all i wanna do is change this to nyc techclub and you wanna make sure there is no slash at the end. so if you have this slash righthere, you wanna delete it; otherwise, this widget won’t show up on your webpage. and now we wanna scroll down to this sectionwhere it says “responsive†and check that box. and then we can scroll down and click“save.†and once this is saved, let’s
