What steps should be followed for proper web configuration or for a WordPress web configuration?

Essential steps:

1. Register the domain
Register a url in WordPress choosing between .com, .es, .org, etc. We recommend the .com since it positions
better than any other variant. Try to avoid hyphens or names that are not easy to memorize.

2. Hosting
After registering the domain, we need the hosting, a space hosted on a server that is reliable and
100% available. When choosing WordPress, the hosting we are looking for must support php and MySQL databases.

3. Configure the domain: DNS
The DNS translates the domain name into an IP address, allowing both the
web as well as e-mails can be located from anywhere by using the domain name
registered.

4.-Install WordPress in remote control (online)
Download WordPress. We can download it in Spanish from es.wordpress.org.

5.-Once installed, we will proceed to the web configuration in WordPress. The most important settings are:

Site title.
Wordpress address (url); it must coincide with the installed domain since it will be the URL of the administration panel.
Permanent links: very important for SEO positioning, the best option to be able to customize the url’s is choosing “Entry name”.
Appearance: here we must choose the WordPress “theme”, that is, the template (design) we want for the website. We can also add the “widgets”: links to social networks, categories, recent posts, etc.
Users: determine the administrators of the page.
Plugins: external applications that make the WordPress page dynamic. WordPress is one of the best CSMs for creating web pages due to its simplicity and flexibility; once the appropriate web configuration has been made, we can give it utilities such as an online shop, social network, etc.

Sus prácticas empezaron en una pequeña tienda de informática de Terrassa pero, a la semana, tuvo una oferta para prácticas de desarrollador web en una empresa muy pequeña, un Autonómo, su mujer y él. Eso era el año 2004, y ahí empezó una carrera de pasión sobre el mundo web e Internet que le llevaron a acabar fundando Somos Sinapsis en 2013 junto a Nicola Picasso. Sin duda, hoy en 2020 es una de las mejores decisiones de su vida y, aunque ya programe poco o nada, su conocimiento de desarrollo le ayuda día a día en su actividad.
