What is up everybody, welcome to this new video. I'm going to be showing you in today's
0:03
tutorial how to create a WordPress website without having to pay for an actual hosting
0:11
in both domain. So, in this tutorial, I'm going to be using the section called Pantheon
0:17
So Pantheon is an actual place that can be helping us to start by creating this line
0:24
in using this server to start working not only into into WordPress, but in other places
0:31
for example, instead of using GoDaddy, Acrobat, Oggz, this one is going to be helping us to
0:36
have best platforms or markers for developers. And of course, this is totally for free, we
0:41
do have here, they do have a free pricing and plans, but that's totally depending on
0:45
what are you actually trying to look for. For example, we have the silver, the silver
0:49
one is of course a free one that can be helping us I'm going to hit now into the two free
0:55
sandbox site, we have a JIT based test and live development when we have a free HTTPS
1:02
certificate, and there's some integrated content delivery network. So in order to get started
1:07
what you wanted to do is to import your first, your last name, your company name, the word
1:12
email, passcode, choose, of course, these specified options for your passcode, your
1:18
country, your way to the Pantheon service and use and hitting to sign up. Once you logged
1:22
into Pantheon, as you can see, we are now inside the workspace. So we can start to create
1:27
a new site, we can be great and existing site or set up the actual team. What we wanted
1:32
to do here is to create a new site we have in the we now have the actual free hosting
1:37
and the server. So let's go ahead and start with the actual new site. What I want to do
1:41
is to type in to create a site. This one is going to be taking us into the site editor
1:47
So whether you want to choose a custom upstream, the Drupal or the WordPress in this tutorial
1:53
let's focus only into the WordPress. This one's gonna be taking us into a built in version
1:58
control and developer workflows tool so we can use plugins totally for free and we don't
2:05
even have to pay for any kind of plan into WordPress. So here what I want to do into
2:10
name your Pantheon site is to name here my site. I'm going to go for let's say for 435
2:16
I'm going to type 435 choose a region for the side of the United States and going to scroll
2:21
all my way down and look out for continue. Now, what we wanted to do is to focus into just to
2:28
wait a few seconds here sometimes it won't be taking a few minutes because the deployment of
2:32
the CMS file, everything all the tools inside WordPress is going to be generated for by and
2:39
for us. So just wait a few seconds here. Let's just skip this part. Successfully done. Let's
2:44
go into visit your Pantheon site dashboard. This one is going to be taking us into the side
2:50
development site section. So as you can see how the development mode, we need to have this active
2:55
if you change that here, there's currently no get push mode for developers section. So we don't
3:02
want to focus a lot into there. Let's just focus into the left part where it says visit development
3:07
site. This one is going to be taking us for the very first time here into the developer side of
3:12
WordPress. So what you want to do is to start with the site title. So I'm going to click here
3:18
Let's go forward text press here, have my username in here. I want to choose and start with an actual
3:25
new passcode. After I successfully done that, let's go and choose the same email in the search
3:32
engine visibility. You want it to leave it like that. And here you wanted to install your WordPress
3:38
Sometimes this one is not works all the time, because the username sometimes it is the one that
3:43
work, the password does not work. And as you can see, it says the WordPress has been installed
3:47
Thank you and enjoy our username is this one and the passcode is the one that we chose
3:52
into the passcode section. So let's go into login. And this one is going to be taking us
3:56
into the developer side of Pantheon inside WordPress. So let's use the same username
4:03
that we chose before. And there we go. So as you can see, we are now inside the dashboard
4:08
But not into Pantheon, but into WordPress. So as you can see, this one says developer
4:13
fast forward slash textpress 435 dot Pantheon site.io WordPress administrator section. So if
4:21
you go directly into your plugins, do you might see that we have just a few already added by default
4:27
we have the Hello Dolly, the plugin, the as made in I can create, I'm going to hit into plugins
4:33
And here into plugins, what I want to do is to get installed a new one. So let's go and focused
4:39
into bulk actions, let's go into activate, hit into apply, or just look out for the one that
4:45
says new. And this is how we can get started with our actual WordPress. So let's say that this is
4:50
just a test here, if I hit into the plus button, I have the text here, I have the media file
4:56
I have the designs here, I have some widgets that I can add. And I can focus into add my
5:03
very first header part, for example, it's that I want to add a header. And I have this cover have
5:07
this header inside footwear, I have this footwear here. So I just drag and drop like this. And
5:14
automatically, this one is going to be jumping me into the header section of my actual website
5:20
So now that we have an actual account, let's go and look out for published hitting to save
5:26
And if I hit now into probably going to go into copy, go into a new tab, paste this actual tab
5:34
and make sure that my actual WordPress website is actually working. So as you can see
5:39
it's actually working says developer. And here is the actual name. And we're actually good to go
5:44
So let's focus now into getting style in the plugins. If I go back into my WordPress
5:49
you might see that you have the plugin section. And here into the plugin, we can switch here to
5:57
the s FTP mode into the Pantone dashboard. So I'm going to click into the x mark
6:03
And instead of choosing the Git file, I'm going to change for the s FTP
6:08
And this one is going to be enabled all the development section of installing plugins
6:13
without having to pay for an actual plan of WordPress. That's the reason why I told you
6:18
that we don't have to move that part of the developer mode. So he's quite a few seconds there
6:23
And after that, just focus into the basic developer side once again
6:27
And then let's go back into our WordPress and go into plugins. And as you can see, we now have
6:34
the actual version of the add new plugin. So if I focus into add new, I can see that there's
6:41
actually a lot of plugins that I can add totally for myself. So for example, let's say that I
6:46
wanted to add the G suit plugin of Google. And down here, you might see this one is compatible
6:51
due to version of WordPress, really, really awesome to go into the install. Now, the plugins
6:56
will be added automatically. And then after that, you need to hit into activate. After you have
7:02
activated your plugins going to be appeared in here. So I added the widget for Google reviews
7:07
for example, I hit into activate. And down here is going to be period, the plugins that I choose
7:13
installed, for example, the actual trust index that IO, and it's going to be appearing in here
7:18
And then later on, I can add some examples here into my actual website, or I can install the
7:24
Elementor section to get started with my actual WordPress website. So I have the classic editor
7:31
I hit into the install. Now, let's go and look out for going to go for landing page
7:38
And it's going to be appearing. Let's say for example, this is the light start the landing page
7:42
builder, whatever, all of the comps with the Boson that we're currently using into WordPress
7:48
so I don't need to focus into worry about what I needed to create here. I'm gonna hit into landing
7:53
page, I hit to continue. And I can use this template so I can get started with my actual
7:59
WordPress. So creating and using these tools, these plugins is going to be helping me a lot
8:06
but really, really a lot to get started. And I don't have to pay actually for anything. So we
8:11
hit now into build page. And instead of going totally from scratch, I now have a few plugins
8:17
can help me get started with the actual website. So later on, as you can see, we have the maintaining
8:22
page, we have the landing page here, a book now and here are all the elements what is left to be
8:27
done for in my case is just to edit the elements that I see here. So I'm going to click here
8:33
let's say that I wanted to change this for text press videos, I hit into update
8:41
I hit into preview, I preview this into a new tab. And this is how it's going to be looking
8:46
my website. So as you can see, it wasn't hard to actually create a website with free hosting
8:51
a free server inside WordPress. That's the reason why we use pantheon.io if you want to
8:57
upload or add more stuff or start to selling here into WordPress, you need to upgrade your
9:02
account here into pantheon.io. So focus into your account. And then into your account later
9:08
on you want to change the actual plans that comes with your account. With that being said, guys
9:13
I think we have now covered the basics of the pantheon as well into the WordPress. So don't
9:19
