Steps to Create a Website:

  1. Decide on a Domain Name: Be creative, not annoying. Use Domize to get your creative juices flowing (See Important Links below).
  2. Register a Domain Name and Get Some Hosting: We highly recommend going here and signing up for the basic hosting plan. Here is a quick video that walks you through getting your Lunar Pages hosting package. You can follow along by clicking here (click the play button and make sure your volume is up).
  3. Install WordPress: Use “One Click Install” on your LP control panel. See the Reference Guide for step-by-step instructions.
  4. Make it Sweet: Customize your awesome new website with themes and plugins (and widgets, if you want to get really nerdy). Check out the Reference Guide for help.
