Creating Your First Website: Step by Step Guide to Building a Professional Author Website

This guide will walk you through step by step how to create a beautiful author website that will display anything from simple static pages with a blog to the management of an entire catalog with multiple kinks/niches or even pen names.

This guide assumes you know nothing about website design or WordPress. All you have to do is move your mouse, click and type when told!

After this guide is completed you will have learned how to manage your website in entirety. You will know how to change text, images, menu items, blog posts, add new pages, add new stories and much more. You will also have a WordPress website that will have your entire catalog of stories (regardless of how many niches/kinks you write in or amount of pen names), a fully functional blog, a home, about and contact page as well as a sleek professional design!
