Having a website built can be a complicated and expensive undertaking. For large businesses this is a necessary expense, but for the ever-increasing number of independents and small businesses, this can easily be handled by the intrepid amateur. In Create Your Own Website Using WordPress in a Weekend , author Alannah Moore draws on her extensive experience to show how, in just a weekend, almost anyone can create a website in WordPress that looks professional and is entirely tailored to their needs and preferences. Through carefully structured step-by-step tutorials, the book takes the reader through every stage of the web design process. It is illustrated with fabulous examples, and features checklists and tips throughout, covering domain registration, planning, plugins, and choosing the right theme.
Even though this book is already ten years old it somehow manages to be very relevant and more importantly very useful. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to create and online shop because Moore has a way to simplify things while being informative so taking up such a massive task seems easy breezy after reading this book.
To be honest....I've not totally finished as got as far as needed and completed my website. So it does exactly what it says! Aside from the weekend thing.....you need a lot in place, plus basic knowledge before this would be even possible.
If I do read it all, maybe I'll come back and revise this.
