Free WordPress Website Do it yourself

1. Buy Web Hosting Singapore

You need to buy good shared web hosting for WordPress. We recommend going with a web host that has a cPanel, that will be easy to install WordPress using Fantastico. While you think about Reasonable Shared Web Hosting in Singapore we suggest go for Host Gator Web Hosting

2. Install WordPress

Steps to install WordPress using Fantastico.

Login with your Cpanel –> Go to Fantastico –> Left side you can find WordPress –> New Installation –> Follow the Steps and Finish the WordPress Installation

3. Customize WordPress

Once you successfully installed WordPress login to your WordPress control panel with the user name and password opted while installation and you are able to customize the interface and look and feel also you can add various widgets and plug-in

4. Modify the WordPress Theme

If you do not want the comments and the “posted by… on…” displayed to make your website not look like a blog, just delete the following from the index.php (and also delete the same in the files page.php and single.php – if there are these files)

Note: Before doing the above customization ensure that a Backup has been made so that you have the original old files in case you do want to restore the old set up

You might also like to edit some images of the theme like e.g. the header image. I have done both of these modifications on the theme of this website – I removed the comments and added the text “wordpress.lexty.com” into the header image.

If you are not satisfied with the customization and need a professional and customized WordPress Theme please feel free to contact us to know our Customization and WordPress Theme Design Charges in Singapore.
