Making a website with WordPress

We often recommend novice clients to use WordPress to build their websites because it is easy-to-use, fully customizable, and NO coding knowledge required to set up the site. However, few clients may feel a little bit frustrated when they get to the customization part. While it does take some time for beginners to get familiarized with the navigation of WordPress dashboard, the steps, in fact, are not as difficult as you think. To better demonstrate this, we’ve made a few video tutorial series on how to build different kinds of WordPress websites, with no skipped steps. Let’s take a look at the screenshots of these websites first.
