Im a beginner i dont know any thing about how to make website but i really want to learn about it, by watching ur tutorial it seem to be very easy and sorted. Thankyou very much 😃
Thank you. This was a great help. Appreciate your time!
I wish I saw your video before. I hired a web designer to do my website and I looked at the page source and found out it was wordpress. I wasn't happy since the website just had the basics: home, service, about, faq, contact and not what I expected. I gave him a reference website that I wanted it to look similar to but it doesn't even look like half of that. He hasn't posted my website yet since I keep asking him to do more. In addition, my business name is really generic so when I search for it, my google my business listing never shows up unless I put the city name! I already paid him half so I'll have to go through with it but I wonder if it's possible to stop that website and make my own and use the domain already used (one he made) for the newer website (I make).
Great video, thanks so much, you explain things really well, I came from your blog post, it's great that you did both :)
Thats awesome!! I'm glad to see both the written and video tutorials are getting some love! Thanks for watching this one!
Excellent tutorial .Hestia is great to begin with and easy to use and optimize ,thanks

Excellent way of teaching smartly
You are Love man. I learned a lot from your this video. Waiting for more 😘
Thank you so much for the tutorial! Which is better: this theme or customify?
Nice and clear tutorial, thanks!
Great job! Very informative.
Best tutorial ever made 👏 👏👌👌love it
Hi, Loved the tutorial! I have a question tho, or, well, two questions. Is there a way to link up the blog to other social media platforms in a way that would allow new posts, from for example your Facebook page, to automatically pop up as a blog post on the website? It would be a pretty solid way to save time, tho I see how it might cause problems with the pictures🤔 also is there a system where you can sort and search for specific blog posts with hashtags or something akin to that?
Awesome!!! Thank you for sharing this video. I am going to attempt to create one for my church. Unfortunately I can't find the Hestia theme, they must have taken it away. Thanks again!!!
Very good tutorial only took me 4 hours to make my own website thank you very much. Now I look like a Pro
YES! Congrats brother! Glad the tutorial could be of help!
Hey Dale,
That's an amazing tutorial, I just saw your Channel a couple of days ago and It was really great. I have a question if I need to add another page and link it with the main one to add posts who can I link I do that?
Thanks in advance.
Finally I found the best one on TH-cam and my first ever comment in a decade. I have one question, can we add a share to social media button on my blog posts ?
Such an awesome tutorial. God bless you abundantly. Stay cool bro. Will start my website tomorrow.
Thank you. Really appreciate the compliments. Best of luck!
I wish i had seen this before i made tonnes of websites using WP!
Amazing tutorial. Love Hestia.
Question: Can you make a tutorial on how to diversify website designs without having too much to tweak with the themes?
I help make a lot of websites but i dont have a lot of time to test out a lot of different themes. But i do want varieties in my design so they are not that similar to one another.
Really appeeciate it!
awesome tutorial, wish I'd found it when I tried my first word press site!
Great video. Your explanations are very easy to follow! I had an issue with the "About" page though. It won't let me edit the text. After googling this, It appears that the "Edit" button (in About frontpage section) is not configured to open the correct editor. It may had been a plugin conflict. So, I disabled all plugins and enabled them one by one. I still have the same issue. At this point, I think I'm just going pick a different theme, unless you can quickly point me to a fix. Thanks.
Incredible sir thanks very much u made everything clear
Absolutely Love you bro 😍❤🙏
Question: I love this how to video. I already have a domain name and site that I want to switch over to doing myself. How do I keep my current site up and running while making a new site?
Thank you so much for this!
amazing, realllyyy nice vid, thank you so much
You deserve a Billion likes... your video instruction could be followed by a dumb and still create a website same day. Thanks man.
Excellent video mate
Did you ever make a video on how to sell things on this website? I can't find it and would really like to learn from you because of how clear and easy you make everything seem!
Like some people say, no free lunch anywhere in the world but you just gave me one! 😊, the only thing I could give back is using your coupon on hostgator 🙌.
I will send you my website when I'm done.
Thanks mate
Thanks for sharing the video. This will help me in creating the website using hestia theme. Today onwards i will try this on my laptop and if all works well i will move to hosting and start the work. I will be using it for my small e-commerce business hope i am able to make my website with your tutorial. In case i get stuck plz do help me.
Thank you very much. I had subscribed your channel so that i get the update on regular bases.
Thank you for the tips. It's very useful!

Bro!!! Love you....so damn useful video.....Just awesome
This is by far the most useful video I have watched in a long time! I have a question. Can Woocommerce be used to vend for sites like teespring.com?
Can't be simpler than this! 👌👌
Man thank you really for sharing Hestia experience! i had enough of coming and going with themes...i swear!
Keep going on your tutorials
Hello McManus and thanx for the great videos you'r putting out there. Would
you consider making a tutorial on how to create a website dedicated to
digital music selling (beats, albums, single etc..) ? I've been working
with wix and just switch to wordpress. Thanx a lot in advance !
hey, great info. thanks. I have a question: is it possible to add a video instead of image on the home page?
could I still use this tutorial today? Or is there a better way
It's just so straight to the point and an amazing step by step guide.
Awesome instructor and info! Thank you so very much! In Hastling is there a way to go back to make a correction after Hostgator has published my “in progress” website? Wasn’t able to; suggestion appreciated!!
Amazing. Regards, sir. I am hoping to hear from you again soon.
Thank you, that's awesome!
so simple way of teaching thnks
Excellent Presentation!
Thank you! I'm working through the Elementor site set-up and have a question. I found an image I'd love to use for my header/branding from a digital scrapbook page download. I've tried several methods of resizing the image and have it below the 2500 pixel image limit, but it continually tells me that post-processing of the image failed and to upload again. Any suggestions on getting the image to load?
i never thought i will learn to make websites soo easy
A thousand likes for this tutorial. It was really helpful to get my head around Wordpress interface after spending a lot of time struggling with it. Thanks a lot!
Happy to help! And thanks for the like and support!
@@CreateaProWebsite Thanks Dale, I've created a website with Hestia following your tutorial, after that I downloaded one of the demos from the Hestia library and adjusted the layout of my site with Elementor. Then I created a new page however I'm not getting to change its layout using Elementor neither open it with the WP Customize editor. Am I missing something or doing anything wrong? Your help will be much appreciated!
This tutorial is great!
Glad you think so! Thanks for the comment!
Thank you for the tutorial! Is there any way to get the top menu links (not the logo) on the Page that you created to actually link back to the home page? Or because of the jump #s this is not possible. Is there any way to hide the top menu on separate pages since they don't link to anything?
