 She comes from Russia via Luxembourg. Could I talk about best practices for your first work tonight? Hello, hello, everyone. How are you today? Are you enjoying the conference? Yes. I'm for sure. My name is Elena. I'm originally from Russia. I'm running my small web studio in Zurich. I work first of all in Zurich and newly in Luxembourg. I'm using WordPress almost since it's early beginning. I love it. I find it really great. Who uses WordPress as well? Everyone. Nice. Who considers himself comfortable while managing the website and WordPress? And who is a beginner? Just started or not started yet? Okay, nice. Because my topic is first of all for beginners, but I hope experienced users will find something useful as well. Adropos. Do you know what is the best website in 2018? Mozambique. Mozambique. I don't know, too. So that's correct right now. But how to do it with WordPress? Because I was young and beautiful and didn't have any experience, I needed to create a simple website. Everyone told me to do it with WordPress. It's easy. It's very easy. Is it easy? Yeah. Okay. I went to WordPress.org, found the Get WordPress button after that download button. I clicked it. The loading has started. I was very happy. I thought, yeah, very easy, really, I've done. Try the same way. Now you know what happened then. I remember I was not web developer and didn't have any technical background. So I was sitting, start to miss order with those files and thought, what I did wrong? I was writing all my situations. I went to Google, asked what to do. Happy me. I found the hosting with one click WordPress installation and that's it. So nowadays, almost every hoster allow you to install WordPress in one click. And everything you need to do, you need to have is, okay, I wanted to say that I still had this folder with those files and feeling like I disassembled my computer, assembled it back and some parts left. So for you, but you don't have such feeling, you get just your domain and your hosting. Domain is the name of your website. And hosting is the space on server where your website live. I left some web addresses where you can definitely pick one. After you connect your domain with your hosting, you easily find on your hosting panel, install WordPress button, you install it in no time. You choose a nice team, edit your content or not on it and that's it. Would you like to see a live demo? Practically, it works following. You go to a website of registered domains. For example, Infomaniac, where you can find a local domain for Switzerland for a good price. Basically, I recommend, if you run your local business, I recommend to buy a local domain and local hosting because if you have two websites, well optimized for search engines, when with big probability the website from local hosting will rank better as a website, for example, from US hosting. Because, you know, in US, you can really create a very cheap hosting for $1 to $2, but do not expect too much from such kind of hosting. So if you run your business in Switzerland, I would truly recommend you to buy a hosting in Switzerland to invest maybe a little bit, but I truly believe it will work better for your business. So we find our local domain, or not local, maybe .com. So if you find a very cheap domain, promotion domain for $1, it will work. Great. But with hosting, just pay attention to that, please. So we buy our domain. It's like by normal online shopping, we buy a domain and we get a mail confirmation with all our details where we can log in to administration interface and manage this domain. We don't need to manage really much. We just need to find DNS, which is domain name servers. Every domain, like every person, have a name, and we have to put the domain names, click confirm, and that's it. For where to find this DNS, when we buy the hosting, we get a confirmation email as well, and in most cases, somewhere in this confirmation email. So with these easy steps, we find our domain names, we connect it to our hosting, so we have everything to start. So we go to our hosting, find the button as domain. We put here plus. Okay. Okay. I was not forgetting. We put here a domain, add our domain name, whatever you want. So normally, it will, everything, set it up automatically. You just need maybe, some of maybe it's recommended to secure it with less ask screen. You saw the secure websites, so secure and green lock. That's it. But you can do it later, if you're not sure. And you press okay. And that's it. Normally, this configuration, connection of domain to your hosting needs, in most cases, it's really quick. So you can, in most cases, begin with WordPress with one click WordPress installation at this point, but sometimes it takes up to 48 hours. But it's really, nowadays, a rare case. So I created a demo domain to show you how to install WordPress in one click. So you find the button, install WordPress, you press it and it will be installed. Normally, it works quite quickly. Right now, maybe it will take a while because of internet connection or some other reasons. Maybe because I'm speaking here for the first time. Because of that, of course, I did another installation to show you, but it will be a little bit late. We are back to our presentation. So normally, it will be installing. If you buy hosting, just see that these points included in your package. It can call one click WordPress installation or up installer or CMS ready. That's all meaning this hosting package allowed you to install WordPress in one click. Because it's a rare case, but sometimes hosting do not have it or some packages do not have it. Now, I think you can ask Poster. You can ask anything you like. And I recommend you to ask Poster because by asking you test how the support team work and if it's good for you. Because of that, never shy to ask questions. So a second problem of young businesses or beginners is a limited budget. Because of that, I'd like to show how much that's all cost. On the domain in Switzerland, you can get about 10 to 15 Swiss franc per year. It may be lower than in Romania, but so 8,7 is good. And the first thing you can get in Switzerland for about 90 Swiss franc per year. So per year, you will spend about 100 Swiss franc or 8,3 Swiss franc in a month. Why I wanted to compare the second reason was that I often get a question what's the difference between site builder and WordPress. And the beginners want to start their business website with their site builder. For example, Wix or in our popular. The difference is you will still orient your website, like creating a car. You will not have it like your own. You will not have full control on the files. You will not be able to set up some settings for hosting and not really optimised it well for search engines. And one more thing, if somebody tell you the prices for site builder comparable with prices for hosting. Just let's see the package with all options that allowed you hosting. It will be this one. The package without advertising of site builder will cost Wix soon. And about Wix soon. And with packages, we will show advertisement of site builder. And Wix is only for one website. You have to play a year in comparison with WordPress installation. It's already, you can see the difference. And if I would use it instead of my hosting package, I would become a banker. So, something else. Another question I'm getting sometimes, quite often, is how to edit the content. In WordPress, it's maybe not really clear for beginners how to edit content. The classic editor works not really very simple. It is not drag and drop. Like at site builder, we hear today two topics about Gutenberg, Progressing WordPress editor. What I would like to show you a solution for really very beginners that you can edit your content with drag and drop and this solution calls Elementor plugin. After you installed WordPress, you go to your administrative interface to plugins, find Elementor, install it, activate it and your drag and drop is ready to use. On this place, I would like to show you live demo again. So, our installation is complete. And we can go to a new installation to make it a real demo. So, it is installation, we just... So, first of all, we pick a nice team. I will take OceanWP. It is not available from there, so it's a bit strange. But okay, I still have some options on my hosting and I go to these options. And from where I can, from hosting panel, I can install a team as well. Why did it work before? Why did it work before from the WordPress interface? Why did you have to go back to the hosting page to... I've had the administration interface. You have to click on add new. Okay, yes. Really, right? Thank you very much. So, of course, we have to... No, not simple, click to teams, just add new. Yes, really. And here we can search for our OceanWP, install it in one click and it will work. Install and don't forget to activate. Basically, don't be afraid to play a little bit with your installation. Most probably you will not damage stopping, but if you're doing it when... And if you have a good hosting, when you can write in a message, then please let's do it. And with the probability, we will do it. So, a hosting for one or two dollars? Probably no. So, a good hosting if you invest 80 or 90 strength a year, we're doing it, we have great support. And it basically works. So, we installed the team. We go to plugins, add new. You find Elementor. And it will be installed really quickly. We activate it and it's ready to use. So, nice things. Let's see how does our website look on front-end. So, like every website you just installed, let's see what we can do with Elementor. Of course, you can use all options of drag and drop, some sections, videos, Google Maps, whatever you want. But nice things over here, it's templates ready to use. So, for example, if you're running a restaurant, you can take, for example, this template, and it's already done. Everything you need is to edit a little bit of content, some pictures, but basically it's done and ready to use. So, you don't have to search any premium team anymore. You don't have to think where I will put these pictures and their video. You have a ton of choice of templates ready to use and you can really inspire yourself seeing these templates and make your choice or create your customer with Elementor. So, it's loading and I press publish. Let's see how it looks on front-end. Published here. Okay, the problem is just default page and we did not put this page like front page of our website. I will do it right now. So, this page with this template, it looks already interesting but not perfect. We see this sidebar, maybe we don't like to have. We see here some titles on the titles. Maybe we don't like to have. Yes. Is there any possibility to remove the WordPress icon at least the past will make people believe that it will be created? Sorry? Is that possible to remove that WordPress icon? Which will be? At the top? Yeah, at the top. That top bar is so-called admin bar. If you are not logged in, then you will not see that. So, visitors to your website will not see that bar. Okay, we take the same page and let's see it in our browser like not logged in user. So, you will not see it. It's easy, it's true. Really, if you are not logged in, you don't see it. It's just for your administration purposes. So, why I recommend to use OceanWP for beginners because there are quite a lot of options. And we can customize, we can delete with sidebar and customize with elements. What's the distinct difference between OceanWP and 2017 theme, for example? What's the big advantage? Okay, I will show you a little bit later. Okay, great advantage. Basically, the theme is how your content looks like. Some teams have more options, some teams less options. We have to install some plugins to become it to work. You can install it from our administration interface all together. Don't forget to activate. So, now we have everything to edit this page more. Basically, if you're on this page, what for do you use these options? You can press edit page you get to your editor, to your backend. OceanWP have these nice options. So, content layout, maybe we will choose 100% full width after that we would like to update the page. And now we will see how changed our frontend view page. So, it's already without sidebar. And we just changed an option on OceanWP and it's already without sidebar. So, the same way we can change some options to get our page looking more beautiful. Okay, only five minutes. So, for example, header we can disable top bar disable header itself. We still have this. Okay, I hope it's pretty nice stuff to play for beginners. So, beginners, how do you find it? Is that useful? Yes. So, I recommend to use it if you're really beginner and back to my presentation. This is Elementor. How does it work if you like to create your custom page? It's quite easy. It's really drag and drop like a side builder but you have your own website. You have all the access to your files. You're learning and you're really unlimited in the manage of your files at your website. What is your own? Any questions to know? Yes, please. Should we keep a local copy of our website? I already heard this question. You know, maybe I will tell you a bad thing but I do not really do it because if you have a ton of websites it will take a separate server. I'd better use a reliable hosting. So, keeping my backups. You have an extremely important project and you really want to keep it at you. You can download it and have an archive and database backup on your computer. But, you know, if you take a hoster doing advertising, selling, living from a service and you have your computer I would ask you how often you do maintenance of your personal computer. How often you do a different mutation. How often you clear it. Why you think on your computer it will be more safe as a hoster? So, it's a really question. If you care about that, if you're a really good specialist you can do it. Like, every decision in our life. There is no one else. How do you compare Elementor to other solutions like TV, Ragnarok? I find, I personally find Elementor really easy to use for beginners who is really zero. And if you're a web developer and you have a customer who would like to add a website but you have feeling maybe you need a really simple solution for him or her and when you install Elementor and when they're designed with Elementor you can save your time as well if you're using that. And yes, there is of course competitors other solutions it's up to you. You try it, you see what's simpler what better suits for your project. When to compute my best practices is of course yes use self-hosted websites on WordPress, of course. Never shy to ask questions and come to regular WordPress meetups to become a support from the community I find it great. Thank you. And pack up your files anyway at Hoster at your own with some plugins do it, never say nobody told it to you, I told into tenure visitors enjoy what you're doing. I'm very thankful to the organizers to Florian for the chance to talk on this nice conference really thank you very much for coming to my speech. I wish everyone to have a very pleasant evening. Thank you.
