Steps for creating a themed WordPress page
If you don’t want to set up a temporary page, you can start putting together your
full site with a WordPress theme.
WordPress gives you the ability to get world class themes very cheaply and
install them in seconds. I used ElegantThemes.com22, and they sell a range of
themes for just $69. The more recent themes in particular are great, with many of
them being well designed, modern, and mobile-responsive.
Visit elegantthemes.com23 and purchase your theme.
Download your theme .zip file and save it to your local computer.
Inside WordPress, mouse over “Appearance” and click “Themes.”
Click the tab called “Install Themes.”
Click upload, select the zip file and click “Install.”
After it’s installed, click “Activate” and then visit the homepage to see how
it looks.
Most of the time, it will need to be configured or customized to look exactly how
you imagined it would. Don’t get too tricky with it; just set it up the way it’s
designed. You can get fancier later on.
