Hello and welcome to the guided project

"Develop a free website with Wordpress".

My name is Delphine and I will be your instructor today. I am
a public health specialist and I have developed several
websites for personal and professional uses during my career.
Wordpress gave me the possibility to create manage
and develop these websites easily and for free.
while some may also enjoy the various features available
on this platform at the very low cost.
The possibilities are endless! This guided project is designed
for people who have already created their website
on Wordpress and now want to add pages, create articles
and publish media.
By the end of this project, you will learn how to develop
your free website created in Wordpress for personal
or professional purposes.
After completing this project, you will be able to create all
the contents that you please such as a photo gallery
or a blog post.
Wordpress offers a large variety of free website design
and possibility to develop a commercial website, a blog,
a photo gallery amongst others, allowing you to create an
aesthetically pleasing online platform and add value to your
business marketing.
Let's take a look at a completed project.
Here is an example of a website created on Wordpress
to promote the initiative of an orphanage in Bolivia.
You can see the presence here on the menu of pages
with different languages, spanish english and french.
WordPress offers the possibility to create a large variety
of pages as needed and to incorporate many features, such
as a photo gallery but you can also have some posts
with pictures.
Okay now let's start! We are going to start this video
by adding pages to the website that you have already created.
So if you have already created your website, you know
this main menu pages.
As you're probably aware, most websites have several pages
for different purposes.
For example, you can add a page to introduce yourself
and a page to present your project.
Each page can be linked to another through the menu display
in your website or through links inside each page according
to your desire.
Now, let's start creating and adding pages.
The first step is to go to the main menu and select the tab
pages. You will then find two tabs: "all pages" and "add new"
The first tab allows you to see all the pages
that you have created. Once you have you have created and added
pages, you will be able to visualize them here here.
Here, I only have one page for the moment because it's just
the beginning of my website. On the right side, you will have
the possibility to modify them by clicking on the three dots.
You will then see a scrolling menu appearing.
First of all, you can select edit, you will be able
to be redirected to your page where you can make changes such
as writing text or adding media. On the second tab, you
can click on view page.
This tab will hollow you to preview your page
but you cannot modify it here.
However, it can be useful if you have a lot
of pages and do not remember which one is which one.
If you close and go back to the menu, you can find
that the next tab is called statistics. By selecting it,
you will be redirected to the stats of your page.
This is only for the particular page and not for the entire
website.
You can see here if your page is attractive and how much
people have liked it or how many people have watched it
for now.
We have no view because the website has not been launched yet.
If you go back, you can see on the three dots menu
the next tab is called "copy page".
This helps you to duplicate your page and maybe modify one
page or the other.
You can also see "copy link", which creates a link
to this page that you can insert in another page
or another post.
Finally you can see "trash" to delete your pages.
And if you have some more pages than that, you
can sometimes see appearing an option to put this page
as the main page or the home page.
I do not have it here because I only have one page available
On the top,
you can see here all the pages that you have, the one
published, the one draft but they have not been published yet,
the one scheduled to be published,
when you write your page you can see at one point you have
a place where you can schedule to publish it,
I will go in detail later on this video and the trashed one.
the one that you deleted.
When you come back on the main menu, you can go to add a new
page tab. By clicking on this link
you will see on your windows opening where you can select
a predefined layout or create a blank page. On the left,
you have a series of predefined pages that can help you
if you want to open a gallery, or create a contact page.
for example. You can then choose among the predefined theme
that have been available to you. But you can also decide
to create a blank page.
So you can go on the top left corner and see blank page.
If you use that, you will have a completely blank page
and you can create whatever you want.
I will go in detail about the features that you can modify how
to create each detail of a page or post later in this video.
So for now I will just show you that when you are done, you
can save your page as a draft, preview
it or publish it directly.
And if you don't want this page you can
just simply go back by clicking on the Wordpress logo
and they will ask you if you want to say of course but you
can say no and then just go back. Congratulations.
In this task, you have added pages to your website.
We can now learn how to add post to your website.
