Description

You will set up a WordPress website on your hosting account by creating a secure subdomain, installing WordPress, and exploring how it works in the database and file system. Then you log in to the dashboard, create categories, posts, and pages (including an About page and a Contact page with a plugin), and customize the site’s menu and appearance. This gives you practical experience with managing and personalizing a CMS‑based website
