The Step-By-Step Website Building Guide For Beginners

That title is quite the mouthful! It describes exactly what I am about to present to you. This is one very exciting opportunity for you, whether you have never built a website before or you are a seasoned webmaster, there is something here for you! This very website you are on right now is being built by my fair hands, and I am far from experienced! Perhaps you are a cautious beginner and you would like to share this information with a seasoned webmaster before proceeding? No problem, I am so sure of the recommendation on offer here that I welcome the critic of an experienced webmaster. Why? As a rookie, that could be risky (me being the rookie). Absolutely, that is the truth. Except I have the backing of extremely experienced webmasters and online marketers. They have built a platform for us which offers far more than the competition, making our lives as a webmaster so much easier, no matter what level of experience we have! Let’s dive into The Step-By-Step Website Building Guide For Beginners.

If I Can Do This, You Certainly Can Too!


As mentioned, I am building this site with my fair hands, and it is as a result of the amazing opportunity I found. The same one I am now sharing with you right now. I belong to an extraordinary platform where the community is more than 1 million strong – yeah, surely more than 1 million people cannot be wrong!

What is extraordinary about the platform? The owners and community members are rooting for you, not only that, everything that you would need to build your profitable website is at your fingertips.

Below you will see a screengrab revealing the inner workings of the Website section, revealing how every aspect is attended to. This screenshot is taken from my profile (yes, that is me) and on the left-hand side, you are privy to information about the system from my profile. What you see on the right is where our focus is today, the different aspects of the Websites facility: Site Manager, Site Builder, Site Domains, Site Contents, Site Comments, Site Feedback and Site Support. All very exciting!

Keep reading and we will uncover The Step By Step Website Building Guide For Beginners

Site Manager

When clicking on Site Manager you are taken into the back end of your websites where you can log in and access your site plus you get to view and manage the health of your website. Google loves healthy websites and this system assists us in ensuring our sites are in good health.

As can be seen below, this site is rated as “Site Health Getting better”, you see an overview of your site, date it was created, backups, how many pages, posts and approved comments are on your site. Whether Google has Indexed your site and there a rating.

Overall, this site is in pretty good shape. Still a very young site, a mere 4 months old, not too bad at all.

Site Builder

The Site Builder facility enables you to build your site on a FREE Domain (yes, 100% FREE, have a look at SiteRubix), on a domain you already own, or you can register a domain through the system. Very convenient.

Not only convenient, but there are also more than 4000 themes available for you to choose from as a Premium Member at Wealthy Affiliate. Everything has been catered for, with the way technology is changing and continues to change, having a mobile-friendly website is vital – this is taken care of in the website themes on offer.

It’s also well worth mentioning that there are in excess of 51,000 Add add-on’s available for your site when you’re a Premium Member, these include the following:

  • Adding in shopping carts
  • Font, Image and Design Plugins
  • Social media Plugins
  • Creating a membership site

These are only a few of the 51,000, they are available for installation literally with a click of a button. Site Support is also available to assist you on the occasion where things become a bit overwhelming (I speak from experience here)

Site Domains

Site domains can be purchased through the platform, and domains purchased elsewhere can be pointed to and transferred to the platform. What this means is that, regardless of where your domain is purchased, it can be hosted within Wealthy Affiliate and all the same benefits a domain purchased at Wealthy Affiliate receives, are available to your site. Here is a snip of my back office, I have blocked out the names of my domains, not all have been published yet – some surprises still to come:

Site Domains Back Office

Site Feedback

As you can see below, the opportunity to Request Site Feedback exists. This is an incredibly powerful tool because you benefit from the input of other online entrepreneurs, many of them highly experienced and exceptionally generous with their knowledge.

Note the wrap over the knuckles I received “Add 1 review before requesting your own!” The next sentence speaks about the “Pay it forward fashion” and this is a culture prevalent within the community. I included that intentionally as it is a huge bonus to work within a giving community. Trust me, they are not all the same, you are welcome to have a look at my review: Six Figure Mentors – Why I Loved And Left Them)

As can be expected, you have the opportunity to Offer Feedback too which I have done, it just would not be appropriate to share the back office of community members websites here, so I did not include that.

Earning Credits is a great motivator because you as you earn credits by offering feedback, you can request feedback and pay with the credits you have earned.

Truly a great give and take community.

Benefits of Site Feedback: The user experience on your website is very important, you want to know that your site visitors are able to navigate around your site. We are incentivized as a community to offer feedback, as you can see below, it does happen when there are no sites in need of review, it’s not only the incentive that drives the community, it is the culture of helping one another.

Site Comments

The importance of Site Comments is enormous! Comments on your website lead to ranking with the search engines. The more comments you have on your website, the higher the trust factor when it comes to the search engines. This results in the improved ranking; increased traffic and sales and increased income for you! Like Site Feedback, Site Comments is done on an exchange basis, you can Request Comments (spend credits) and Offer Comments (and earn credits).

The Site Comments facility is unique to the Wealthy Affiliate Platform and the community readily participate to assist one another. The more experienced online marketers often guide the less experienced, in fact, there is loads of training within the community on how to give and approve comments in such as way that it will benefit your site.

Not only can you Request Site Comments but you also get to request how many comments you want and specify which aspects you would like the comments to be made on. It’s great that you can be specific in your request and create an opportunity for conversation to take place on your site.

Sounds Complicated?

That is the beauty of what I am proposing. Yes, it is complicated because all the coding and back end stuff is really important for the success of your website. This is made easy for you. Don’t misunderstand, this is no “done for you” system, you will need to work and create your own website. You will not need to understand a single line of code though, this is where it is made simple for you. Having said that, if you are able to handle the coding side of your website, you have the opportunity to do that too. The way the system is set up caters to both the non-techs (like me) and the highly technical too. Very clever!

Which brings me to Site Support.

Site Support

As a Premium Member, you have access to Site Support who are available 24 / 7 / 365 – they are very clued up, extremely helpful and have always assisted me with any query I have had. There have been occasions where I need to insert code – nearly gave me a heart attack! No problem, Site Support either did it for me, or they took screenshots and sent them to me guiding me every step of the way. Absolutely amazing!

As you can see below, you go into Site Support and submit a Support Ticket, there are a few questions to answer as you can see, you then type in the title of the question and the details in the body of the message. Just like an email. The Site Support Team respond efficiently, asking for more information if they need (us newbies don’t always explain things in easily understandable ways, so they make sure they understand our questions before attempting to solve them). What a great team!

Beginner To Advanced Website Training

As you have seen above, there is a Step By Step Website Building process in place, the great news is that this training takes you from beginner to advanced level. the basic training puts the foundation in place and provides you with the tools to build your website long before you have any kind of expertise. As you grow in your experience as a webmaster, so do the opportunities to learn more. The sky truly is the limit!  There are thousands of training modules (in a variety of mediums, text, screenshots and video) available to us. We grow and develop at our own pace with the guidance of the experts we are surrounded by. As new technologies are released, so too are new training modules!

  3. Hi Louise and thank you for this very informative post.

    I have been interested in affiliate marketing for some time now but, being older, was always nervous about having to create my own website. Now I see how easy it is, particularly on the Wealthy Affiliate platform, I am ready to take the plunge.

    I do have a question for you. I see that Wealthy Affiliate has a free starter membership and it seems I can build my website for free on that free membership. Is there a time limit on that free membership or can I stay on that for as long as I like?
