“Build a WordPress site” covers a wider range of work than it sounds like. Here’s the sequence we actually follow, in the order it happens.
1. Domain and hosting
Register a domain that matches the business name, and choose hosting that supports one-click WordPress installs. This is the one decision that’s expensive to reverse later, so it’s worth getting right the first time rather than migrating hosts six months in.
2. Install and configure
After installing WordPress, the basics (site title, timezone, permalink structure, and user roles) need to be set correctly before any content goes up. Getting permalinks wrong early is a common source of broken links later.
3. Theme and structure
Pick a theme that fits the site’s purpose and supports responsive design out of the box. Then map out the pages the business actually needs (home, about, services, contact) before writing any content, so the structure doesn’t get reshuffled later.
4. Plugins, content, and launch
Install only the plugins the site needs; security, SEO, backups, and forms cover most cases. Write the core pages, and test the site on mobile before pointing the domain at it. A soft launch with a short punch list beats a rushed one with broken forms.
