How to Create a Website Using WordPress (Full

What You Need Before Starting

Five steps, one afternoon:

1. Buy domain and hosting — domain first (₹500–₹1,250/year), hosting second (WordPress from ₹400/month), or both in one cart.
2. Install WordPress — cPanel → Softaculous → Install Now; set your own admin username and password.
3. Pick a theme — fast and well-reviewed over feature-stuffed.
4. Build core pages — Home, About, Services/Work, Contact, plus your blog if content is the plan.
5. Add plugins and go live — SEO plugin, forms plugin, caching; then submit the sitemap to Search Console.

The one distinction that confuses everyone: WordPress.org (self-hosted, free software, full control) versus WordPress.com (a hosted service with plan limits). Everything below is the self-hosted route — the one that owns its destiny.

Step 1: Buy Domain and Hosting

Buy Domain and Hosting. Do this on one site or a staging copy first, then check the public URL in a private window so cache does not hide the result. Stop if the page errors, and email support@webji.services with the step name and the exact error before you repeat it on every account. WebJi® support mail is staffed 24/7 in Hindi and English; the phone line +91 141 4941811 is business hours only.

Step 2: Install WordPress (Softaculous)

Install WordPress (Softaculous). Install WordPress from the one-click installer into the document root you intend to use, not into a surprise subfolder. Note the admin URL and set a real password. Delete the default post and the unused themes after you have logged in.

Step 3: Pick a Theme and Build Core Pages

Pick a Theme and Build Core Pages. Update plugins and themes on a copy or straight after a backup, one at a time if the site is a shop. A white screen after an update is usually one plugin: rename its folder via the file manager to disable it. Remove plugins you do not use — they are unpatched code.

Step 4: Plugins, SEO Basics and Going Live

The minimal viable plugin set, and no more:

1. SEO plugin — Rank Math or Yoast (one, not both): titles, meta descriptions, sitemaps, schema.
2. Forms plugin — WPForms Lite or Fluent Forms for the contact page.
3. Caching — LiteSpeed Cache on WebJi®'s stack; nothing else needed server-side.
4. Backups — UpdraftPlus scheduled to cloud storage; host-level daily backups already run underneath.

Going live: submit the XML sitemap in Search Console, connect GA4, test the contact form with a real submission, and view the site logged-out in a private window. Skip the plugin-collection instinct — every added plugin is attack surface and update debt; five good ones beat thirty tolerated ones.

WordPress Website Cost in India

Year-one budget, honestly banded:

The lean launch lands near ₹4,500–₹8,000 for year one; a designer-built site adds ₹15,000–₹75,000 by scope. Renewals hold at published rates — the WordPress hosting plans list entry and renewal prices side by side, which is the number most hosts hide.
