WordPress for Beginner

Introduction:

Starting a website can feel daunting. Especially when you aren't a developer or designer. But that's what makes WordPress simple. In 2025, Wordpress powers over 40% of the web and is still one of the most powerful, flexible, and benign user-environments. 

Whatever it is that you'd like to do, whether that is to start a blog, build a portfolio, or open an online store, WordPress can do it all-without needing to write a single line of code.

Let's break down how often a beginner can start using WordPress, step-by-step, and turn their ideas into beautiful and functional websites. 

What is WordPress?

WordPress is a free, open-source content management system. It involves creating a website without needing to learn HTML or CSS. There are two types of WordPress:

• WordPress.org: A self-hosted version that gives you more control but does require obtaining hosting.
• WordPress.com: A hosted version that is quicker to set up and has fewer options for customization on the free plan.

Typically, beginners will use WordPress.org since they have more flexibility and control. However, WordPress.com or hosted WordPress works well for projects that require no customizations or testing ideas.
