Converting a static HTML page to a WordPress site can be a great way to improve the functionality and flexibility of your website. With WordPress, you can easily manage and update your content, add features like forms and e-commerce, and customise the design of your site extensively, not to mention the available plugins that can be installed.
In this step-by-step guide we’ll be covering how you can convert a static HTML page into a working Wordpress template that loads content dynamically from the CMS.
Step 1: Set up a hosting account and install WordPress
The first step in converting your HTML site to WordPress is to set up a hosting account for WordPress and install WordPress.
Before you begin the installation process, you will need to choose a domain name for your site and then set up the hosting account. A domain name is the web address that people will use to access your site, such as "www.yoursite.com". Hosting is the service that allows your site to be accessed by others on the internet.
Once you have chosen a domain name and set up a hosting account you can install WordPress. If your provider offers a one click Wordpress installation, simply login to your hosting control panel and look for the WordPress installation option. Follow the prompts to complete the installation process.
