At this point, let's have some overview of what it takes to bring your website into the next level of functionality! Here are my top 3 tips for a great beginning in website-building:

Tip#1. A Good "About Me" Page will make your website visitors become interested in you and what your business is all about. Based on my experience, this the "most-viewed" page. I always take a look at the author first before going into more details of a website. I always want to know "who" the owner of a website is and how the website can help me find what I need or want.

Tip#2. An opt-in box would be a great tool for you to grab emails to add into your contact list. One of the main objectives of our website is to gather our visitors' emails because we want them to come back to our website over and over again.

Tip#3. Your website theme matters. People will not bother wasting their time in reading an amateur-looking website. The "look" of our website shows our authority and authorship. So, as soon as your budget allows you to do it, opt for a premium theme which I showed on page 2 - Customizing Your Website. REMEMBER: Your visitors' first impression will either make them want to or not want to read your website.

Enjoy your adventure here at Wealthy Affiliate. More blessings to you all!

Thanks for the great post. There were a couple new things I learned there. There's so much to learn with internet marketing that we learn something new every day, especially from posts like this. Cheers!

Thanks for the compliment, Ian. This is so encouraging! Yes, we can always learn new things everyday when we keep our minds open to learning. And we keep learning so that we have something to share to others who need help. I'm happy to have you around here.

You're so welcome, Vel. It's my pleasure. I was in your place when I first started. And it's frustrating to be going around places to find relevant answers. I'm glad to be of help. Please share with those who needed help so that they. too, can build the foundation of their websites easily.

You're most welcome, Beccah. Those are the things I needed help with when I first began building my own website. And I didn't find a one-stop tutorial that can walk me through WordPress. That's why I thought of putting 'em together to help others who are just beginning. I'm glad it could be of help to you. Happy building! It should be fun!
