❓ FAQ – How to Build a WordPress Website
Q: Do I need to know how to code to build a WordPress website?
A: Nope. In this tutorial we use WordPress plus the Breakdance visual builder, so you can build a complete WordPress website with drag-and-drop and simple settings; no coding required.
Q: Can a beginner build a website on WordPress?
A: Yes, WordPress is easy to use for beginners, it provides an user-friendly interface as well as a wide range of themes and plugins. This allows you to build your website quickly and without hassle.
Q: Do I need hosting for WordPress?
A: For a self-hosted WordPress.org website (which is what we use in this video), yes, you’ll need a hosting account and a domain name. If you’re using WordPress.com, hosting is bundled into their plans, but you have less flexibility and control.
Q: How much does it cost to build a WordPress website like the one in this tutorial?
A: Expect to pay for your domain name (usually around $10–$15 per year) and hosting (often a few dollars per month on beginner-friendly plans). Breakdance has a free plan you can use on unlimited sites, so you can get started without paying for a theme or page builder.
Q: Can I use this WordPress website to sell products or services later?
A: Yes. Once your basic WordPress website is online, you can add eCommerce with WooCommerce, payment forms, booking tools, and more using plugins and Breakdance elements.
Q: Is WordPress still a good choice in 2025?
A: Yes. WordPress is still one of the most popular and flexible ways to build a website, and it’s powerful enough for serious businesses while remaining beginner-friendly.
Q: Can I follow this tutorial if I already have a WordPress website?
A: Absolutely. You can skip the domain & hosting sections and jump straight into the WordPress crash course and design chapters. You’ll learn how to redesign your existing WordPress website with Breakdance.
