Simple, smooth, and easy to follow. I literally erased my old site and started a new one. I was able to do it all in a few hours. Thank you.

@tattedbox285 5 лет назад

Making a website seems so overwhelming for someone who's never made one , After your video it's like a breath of fresh air , I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video .

To me this was complicated! I now have a serious headache!!!

Best tutorial I have ever seen on creating a website on word press. I have followed your instructions and have now created my own web site. Thank you so much! Really appreciate your time and hard work.

I just found your channel while searching for tutorials about WordPress as I was looking for videos that are more up to date. You made it so easy to follow that I will be recommending you to my group. We are mentors who have the objective of helping our youth, University and college students who are struggling to pay down student debt and make a living wage. Our focus is on Information Technology as our group recognises that the Industrial age dwindles

@TracyAllenVideos 4 года назад

I just had to stop this video and tell you that I really like the way you teach! I have built sites before but, it's not what I like doing the most. However, I have a new project to work on and need a refresher and your video is making me feel relaxed, confident, and excited to get this site built! Thank you!! Oh... Hopefully this will also give me direction on adding a pop up email capture to it. I need to know how to add one of those to the site.

@paullowe342 3 года назад

This is a great tutorial. I would recommend you watch this and do not try to follow along while ur trying to build ur website. And here’s why. I did that with another tutorial and it did not work. Why? Because I didn’t understand the work flow or the workflow concepts. This video if you watch it first gives great flow instructions and practical application. Great job and thank you.

@thomaskrutulis2289 5 лет назад

Hey Dale, I’m in Wesley Chapel, what’s up! Anyway, like you say in intro, these can definitely be sold to businesses...which I’m doing. So, it’d be super helpful to see a demo/template for a business site. I’m doing a brick n mortar shop that deals in gold n silver coins, bullion, currency etc. Also doing a veterinarian(site). It’d be very helpful to see something besides another personal brand site or similar. And if I can continue to be self centered, I’d propose Divi as that’s what I’m endeavoring to master. Great guides though and you got at least one hosting aff sale from me, you’re welcome ;-) -Tom

Hey man I just wanted to suggest one thing around 34:30 you can right click on another header or text you want to mimic and hit "copy" and on the one you're changing just right click and hit "paste style." This will copy the typography, color, etc... This saved me tons of time when I need to make sure everything is the same style. Love the content you provide man! Always enjoy watching your videos!

@CreateaProWebsite 5 лет назад

Thank you Robert! I’ve never known that till now. That will definitely save a lot of time. And thanks for the support on the channel! 🤙🏻

@daytripper75 5 лет назад

Super great tutorial Dale, and such a calm voice. I do like to know where I can increase the font of the menu? Where did you set it to Under Construction? I also like each of my menu items to go to a new page, I have to much content that makes the page way to long. Do you have a different video for it? Thanks

@pgoswami 4 года назад

You can use the Typography option in Ocean WP Customise menu.

Again , great tutorial. Looks good on mobile, as long as you click "About", your customers lost you. They can not navigate,just scroll. So basically as for design i might missing something, please explain? Mobile view: you click "Services": you can not navigate further. On Desktop, when you suppose to click and go to a section of a page and from there you can not navigate.

@ceyhun1808 5 лет назад

Hi Dale, I binged watched a few of your videos on RU-vid and created a website for my new blog on WordPress using Elementor and your templates. So great and thank you for the informative and easy to understand video! I set up my website and created my first blog post, however, when I'm in the Blog section, the top menu buttons (about, blog, gallery, contact) don't work. I am not able to click on them to jump back to those sections. Can you help me figure out what I'm missing? Thank you so much for your help!

@nickhaarlem9944 4 года назад

Hi Dale, what a great tutorial. Thanks. I ran into one issue. We made the header transparent and used the custom image with elementor to display instead on our home page. At the same time we made our menu in a white colour. When I create a new post or page, there is no header and the text of my menu has the same colour as the background. Do you have advice how to fix this?

Dear Dale, Thank you for the fantastic tutorial. Even a complete software challenged person like me has managed to create a website, all thanks to you. However, it was not clear in your video how I can connect the content with menu headings for eg. in About section, on clicking it there is nothing at the moment. What can I do to connect it with the content? I will appreciate your revert as I am more than halfway through making the website. plz plz, help.

HI Dale, I’m about to follow your great direction and install Wordpress. I already have a hosting package but my current website was developed using Adobe Dreamweaver. My question is, can I create a sub folder on my current website (I’ll call it WP) and use that as an access folder to the new Wordpress files I’ll be creating? I want to keep my Dreamweaver files active until I’m sure it's OK to make the changeover. So the PATH to the Wordpress files would look like: mywebsite.com/WP
