Building your own website for your bookkeeping business can cost countless hours and headaches. While I offer done for you website solutions to help professional bookkeepers get their business off the ground and up and running online, I understand not everyone can afford to hire a professional.
So, I put together this basic WordPress website guide to help you get started on your DIY WordPress website journey.
GETTING STARTED WITH WORDPRESS
1. Purchase Hosting
To get started with WordPress, one of the things you need is a hosting account somewhere to “put” your WordPress website and all the files associated with it (this is NOT a program that goes on your computer).
2. Install WordPress
Installing WordPress looks a bit different for various hosting sites, but for the hosting I provide includes automatic setup, backups and software updates paired with 24/7, award-winning support.
3. Choose Your Theme
Dashboard > Appearance > Themes > Add New > Install > Activate
4. Add The Elementor Page Builder Plugin
Dashboard > Plugins > Add New > Elementor
5. Add Your Pages
Dashboard > Pages > Add New
6. Create Your Navigation Menu
Dashboard > Appearance > Customize > Menus to Create New Menu and then follow the prompts to add your site pages to the menu you’re creating. You can drag and drop the order of the menu links and even create sub-menus.
Don’t forget to press save!
7. Add Your Content
Dashboard > Pages > Select Page > Edit With Elementor > Point, Click, and Customize
8. Customize Your Footer

9. Review and Publish
Once you’ve included everything on your site, make sure you review each and every page to ensure all your links and buttons are linked and functioning properly.
