Product Description

Using Wordpress gives you powerful access to create and manage your own website and blog. You can use Wordpress for any purpose. You can build a simple presentation website, a complex Content Management System, a news site, portfolio site, or an online shop.

With all the resources available on the internet the time to build a website has decreased from a few days to a few hours at most. You no longer need to have a web designer or company create your website unless you want that.

However, the main advantages of using Wordpress self-hosted platform is that you will lower the costs and have the same quality a professional web designer would offer you. In fact the premium themes out there have all been built by some of the world's top professional designers.

In other words you will benefit of work that normally costs thousands of dollars, for only hundreds of dollars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Introduction for Those New to Website Creation, December 19, 2011

If you are new to creating a website or blog, whether a small business or individual, it can be confusing. This e-book helps to clear the waters on the basic steps of setting up your website with Wordpress and getting it going. The book is organized very clearly and provides lots of pictures and links for people to learn more and to connect with the services they need to get their website going. This e-book takes you through the basics of getting a domain name, setting up hosting, installing Wordpress, and customizing it with themes and plugins.

Some of the previous reviews have been less than favorable and I think they're forgetting something: this is geared toward the person who knows nothing about creating a website and setting up Wordpress. It is meant to be a basic introduction. Many of the details other reviewers are asking for would be confusing to a "noob" to the website-creating world.

These previous reviewers are also losing sight of the cost of this book--for $3.99 this is a great bargain for those looking to set up a website. When I set up my first website it the 90's, I made many mistakes, costing me a lot of money. If I had known some of this information, I would have been better equipped to start off right.

This book is certainly not for anyone who has had any experience using Wordpress, or has already set up a website (or two, or three). However, it can be very useful for the beginning website owner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide to create successfully websites, December 28, 2011

This review is from: How To Wordpress - 10 Easy Steps to Creating A Killer Website Using Wordpress (Kindle Edition)

Being interested in a fast and accurate guide to drive me through the entire process of creating and maintaining a modern website, I got Ciprian's book on my desk.

The book gathers all the necessary information used to create a website. Following the steps Ciprian described in his book, you will save time and you will gain knowledge to become your own successful web master.
It is definitely a concise report you must read if you want to know how to deal with successful websites. If you look for a complete A-to-Z guide of how to use Wordpress this is not the right place. Here you will discover the basic knowledge of Wordpress, how to use it and where to find more information. The book offered me the answers to all questions I had about mandatory actions to create and maintain a website.

I appreciate the large and precious amount of information given in this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not really a book...more of an article, December 26, 2011

This review is from: How To Wordpress - 10 Easy Steps to Creating A Killer Website Using Wordpress (Kindle Edition)

I read this 'book' in less than 20 minutes and gained nothing from it. I borrowed it using Amazon Prime and I think amazon deserves their money back on this one. Not only is it ridiculously short, there are grammatical errors throughout the pages. It doesn't go in to depth about any of the inner workings of the Wordpress software and is littered with unhelpful links and screenshots that are not viewable on the kindle because of their low quality and small size. This 'book' (and I am using that term very loosely here as it is more of an article...written by a high school student with bad grades in english...) is an avenue for the author to pilfer the wallets of poor unsuspecting souls.

Skip this and get a real book on the subject. I can't believe I wasted a Prime rental on this crap.
